Kyle Rittenhouse trial: When can you shoot as self-defence?

 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59138213

 In the US, people can justify their use of deadly force against another when it reasonably appears necessary.

Wisconsinites may not be prosecuted if their methods of self-defence were "necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm". The legal standard comes with a two-part test.

Jurors must decide whether or not the use of deadly force was objectively reasonable under the circumstances.

  1. If you're a liberal and especially if you're Black, then you can shoot in self-defence. If you're a conservative, and especially if you're White, you can't.
