Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

Uh oh, that person is going to be charged too.

Kenosha Commando....speaking of which...

I've been thinking about this Kyle kid fighting for his life in the street in Kenosha. Initially I was most impressed by his self control in not shooting the 3rd attacker right away. And waiting to shoot until that guy began his assault again.

But in thinking about it more, I'm most impressed that he chose to stay down and fight from the ground until it was clear. Most people would have immediately tried to get up again after tripping in front of a mob. Even if they were already engaged in a fight, they'd still try like hell to get up. That's the natural instinct. But if he did that, he would have lost. They would have got the jump on him while he had his hands down pushing himself up, with no way to use his rifle.

Instead he just stayed there, maintained control of his rifle (for the most part, +1 for a sling) and dealt with each individual threat. Even when he got up he did so in full control, slowly, deliberately without visible panic, making sure it was clear. He backed away with his rifle at low ready until he decided it was clear enough for him to turn and put distance between him and the mob.

I know it all happened in seconds, but that kid did what he did instinctively.

How does a 17 year old have that kind of situational awareness in a deadly fight?

He probably got some training from the evil PO-lice.
