Welcome, Law of Self Defense Members to today’s members-only content, and, yes, it’s once again on the Rittenhouse case.

Welcome Law of Self Defense Members to today’s members-only content—once again, focusing on the case of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Andrew, There’s a …

Welcome, Law of Self Defense Members, to today’s members-only content! Today I’d like to explore with you the possible motivations for why prosecutors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case might have chosen to base so many of the charges against Kyle on recklessness, rather than on intent. This will be a little bit nuts-and-bolts and more technical than I usually try to make our content, but I think could provide some useful insight into the prosecution’s …

Welcome Law of Self-Defense Members to today’s members-only content, which is a legal and tactical look at the mob attack by BLM/Antifa rioters against an isolated woman attempting to dine outside a restaurant this past Monday. If you’re wondering why I use the term “rioters” to describe these aggressors rather than “protestors,” it’s because protestors transition into rioters precisely when they become physical aggressors. I will include a pair of videos of this riotous attack …
