Oh so "wandering alone" is it? You gonna tell a lady that "wandering alone" is what caused her rape?
Fortunately, people aren't legally justified in attacking "alone" people for being alone.
Never said Rosenbaum, Huber, or Grosskreutz were justified. The court ruled correctly that in that microcosm of each shooting, Kyle acted lawfully. He didn’t magdump, or shoot at the crowd +20 yards away, he didn’t threaten others.
But if you can’t see why him roaming alone in a riot situation with a rifle caused this scenario? Bruh.
If he left the rifle at home, he wouldn’t have gotten into a wrestling match over it with Rosenbaum. If he had stayed with the group, Rosenbaum wouldnt have had the chance to fight him. If he hadn’t violated the curfew in place to go be a wannabe hero, none of this would have happened
Ah so he should not have been out alone at night in that short skirt, I understand now, he was asking for it! He actually liked it anyway, I could tell, walking around alone like a slut like that just begging to get his gun taken, how could Rosenbaum resist?
The “she deserved it” analogy is super tortured, and not analogous at all. Like I already said, he was violating curfew to LARP as a combat medic. And if you can’t see how adding a rifle into the mix escalated the scenario, then there’s no getting through to you, clearly.
Tbf everyone there was violating curfew. The only one who arguably had a legitimate reason was Rosenbaum, being let out of a mental facility after threatening suicide for being caught touching his GF's underage son, because the hospital decided to discharge him right into an active riot. One could also argue that none of this would have happened without that, and also none of this would have happened if Rosenbaum hadn't tried to kill anyone, and that this wouldn't have happened had the police not shot Jacob Blake for kidnapping kids while armed with a knife, and that this would never have happened had Blake simply not kidnapped any kids or had a knife.
We could play this game all day, frankly. I lean more towards "Rosenbaum shouldn't have attacked him screaming I'm going to fucking kill you and this never would have happened," personally.
