    How do you neutralize an active shooter without them claiming self defense?

    If they are actually an active shooter they cannot claim self defense. If you haven’t actually observed them shooting at people who are not attacking them, then you shouldn’t assume they are an active shooter. Steer away from them and call the police to handle it. Words you hear from a crowd are not reliable.

    You have to properly define him as an active shooter first.


    So , first define active shooter.

    Plus, regardless of what one thinks with respect to this case, no evidence was presented saying he was an active shooter.

    The only person who can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun who is also a lawyer and has time to gather evidence of statutes being violated to meet threshold for action.

    Of course , I was just starting a step before that ..... so they couldn't convolute the situation later.


    Starting with define active shooter .... because that would not include someone who was defending themselves from attack.

    I'm sure a strongly worded letter would have been the move

    "Dear rottenhouse,
    Please stop

    I'd like to see someone shooting and all you guys waiting for it to be declared an active shooter..

    Seems realistic.

    /S

    Born and bred in texas and yet periodically have to be reminded of the wannabes that surround us and want to defend the rights of active shooters in this case.
    Nice thread

    So a person who is attacked and shoots back in self-defense should be further attacked by a crowd based on a presumption of them being an active shooter.

    That is insane to me. Just asking for more people to get shot.

    Don’t attack someone unless you know them to be a threat. Be doubly cautious if they are armed.

    The only active shooter was Joshua Ziminski. Kyle Rittenhouse shot in self defense, as suggested by all the evidence.

    Thanks, you just brought up the biggest issue of open carry, the abundance of guns, and lax gun control.

    I’ve always read your handle as bo-brek instead of bob-rek. It’s cool your son’s channel is getting some attention.

    Yeah, it's blown up the past 2 weeks. 70,000+ new subscribers. A few days of 70,000+ peak viewers. Second only to PBS news hour trial coverage. He's hoping to hit 100,000+ peak viewers today.
