How come Mr. Gaige was not arrested for illegal possession of a firearm (he's a felon) and attempted murder (he clearly stated to his friend the following day that he regretted not being able to "empty his clip" in Kyle?

I heard that mr. Gaige had his gun rights restored. Was not confirmed 1 way or the other.

I said we needed more legal pedes back in 2016. I was downvoted (back on TDr) for suggesting any of us become lowly legal types. I also warned about the dipshit we can't name from the former site name.

People need to think about the future more. The patterns are known and established. Just open your eyes, folks.

Legalpede here; and while this sentiment is good - the entire law community is wholly overrun with leftist zealots. My first day of skoolin they forced us to read and "discuss" "Between the world and me" by Ta-Nahisi Coats. Of course the discussion was only of approved anti-white ideology, and it was strictly verboten to point out the vile hate that blowhard spewed into those pages. The remainder of skoolin wasn't any better, and it's a shark tank of sjw zealots who will ensure you're ostracized both in school, and in the legal networks that might hire you afterwards. Taking back systems is important, but the entire law community, both judges and lawyers, may be too corrupt and indoctrinated to turn back.

Morons. The law is written to be confusing so that us morons cannot ever interpret it. Anyone who would suggest that we skip our understanding of legalese is a simple person. Understanding and application of the law does not indicate ones level of morality. This is a fickle crew prone to it's own type of virtue signaling at times.

You're both right and wrong. It's not that there aren't enough MAGA lawyers (definitely not enough), it's that one commie AG in a blue city can coopt the legal system and force cases like these to be seen in front of only leftists juries. That goes all the way up to the federal gov't and is why all political cases are only ever brought in SDNY or the DC Circuit. It's a rotten system.

Some progress non-legalpedes can do; in Red states, start petitioning the state legislatures to better restrict jurisdictions and start sending more court cases out of the State Capital where all the partisan hack judges and AGs live.

No, but we should expect it to work.

We are emcee going to control the legal system.

We need to realize who controls the legal system, and call them out on it. They always use litigation as a weapon.

It's even more benign than that from what I remember before information was getting rearranged and scrubbed. It appears he was charged with a felony but not convicted (from what I recall.). Being charged alone won't pull your rights, it's the conviction that is necessary. That being said, he fully intended on using that gun on Rittenhouse, being deceptive on his intial approach, but came in second place when Kyle seen the gun later aimed at him. That fuck stick was an aggressor and needs to have been charged. I hope Kyle walks and sues the fuck out of that "medic."

There are some pretty well known firearms/personal defense instructors who have weighed in on Kyle's actions in Kenosha. Aside from debates about whether or not Kyle should have been there at all, the only criticism anyone seems to have about how he handled himself is that he didn't put a second round into an attacker who was still standing and holding a gun pointed at him.

No way were they restored before the incident though. His possession at the time was illegal af.

Can't believe slot machine was in on this hearing

I tried to get mine back..very very hard to do....he must've told them what he would do with those restored rights

Joshua Ziminski who was using the Alias of Alex Blaine that night and fired the first shot at Kyle also needs to be attempted on about a dozen felonies including Having Weapons under Disability, Attempted Murder, Inciting Violence, Inciting A Riot etc.

They were pressing charges against him last I heard

My guess? The video alone isn't proof it was an actual gun. Unless they were able to recover the gun, and maintain the chain of custody regarding handling evidence, it would seem like a large mountain to climb for a prosecutor to get a conviction. High chance he passed that gun off to a comrade before going to the hospital. With only the video and photos as evidence I don't see a really strong case unfortunately.

There were some pretty detailed photos as well.

And the defense could argue there are pretty detailed replicas out there as well. Which there are. You really expect them to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt based off this evidence alone? Even I wouldn't convict him if that charge based on only that evidence. And I'm one of the people that are disappointed that Kyle misses and merely hit him in the arm. From what we know, the evidence just isn't there that would lead to a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

If you point a 'replica' at someone with a loaded rifle you are a special kind of stupid.

Slot machine said he wished he emptied his weapon into Kyle. This removes all doubt. You also see slot machine taking it out of his waistband over the course of a long haul. You wouldn't do that with a replica.

Even if you can't prove it was a gun, the fact that it looked like one is enough to make it brandishing or menacing depending on local law.

That's not the question though. That's a separate argument not based on the one I was having with the original poster.

Yes he could have been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.

But conviction as a result of unlawfully carrying of a firearm? Highly unlikely.

What about the couple who had their guns out on their own property? Why were they charged?

3
Mooksayshigh 3 points ago +3 / -0

They weren’t. Charges were dropped.

3
PraiseBeToScience 3 points ago +3 / -0

Because he isn't a felon.

He was charged but there was no conviction. Could be released, could have been a plea deal.

These people get their info from memes. Just like FB, I’m surprised to see the truth about this, thank you. He is not, and was not a felon, He has a CCL. Not saying he’s a good person, I wish Kyle blasted him too, but he was totally legal to carry that pistol.

My question as well.
