You’ll notice I didn’t disagree with the verdict. I just think Kyle is scum and a murderer even if that’s not under the technical legal definitions.

I don’t feel that trying to stop property damage for a family friend’s establishment in the middle of a riot, where police refused to stop people, is a pattern of behavior I want to discourage people from doing.

Really? Letting children be judge, jury, and executioner when it comes to property damage is something your’e totally okay with? I think you have a little bit of growing up to do, buddy.

If you unnecessarily bring a gun somewhere and end up in a situation where you need to use it to kill people, you’re a murderer. I choose to label that murder because I place him in the same category as convicted murderers in my head. He isn’t some dude going about his life and needed to use lethal force in self defense due to unforseen circumstances. He actively sought out the situation, and therefore bears some responsibility. This is more a question of if you want to see his pattern of behavior encouraged or discouraged rather than a question about any individual’s culpability.
