Wrong, like always. You shoot to stop the threat. Whether they die, you miss and they run away, or their arm blows up as long as they're no longer a threat then mission accomplished.
The prosecution repeatedly failed to get him to waiver on that point.

I always thought the delivery of that line was so off that the cop(s) helped him do it and are just terrible actors.

Of course the intent is to kill, guns are dangerous tools and if you fire them at any living thing you intend to kill that thing. I'd never admit or say that I intended to kill someone, even if I did. Bad optics. "I only wanted to defend my life." or something similar is sufficient.
It sounds nicer, and it's sufficient to meet the legal criteria for using deadly force, which is typically a fear of your life or perhaps another person's life. In texas at night, it can even be just a fear for your cow's life.

Was half expecting
Lendarios
to come in and say the prosecution's big GOTCHA on when he got Rittenhouse to admit he lied to the angry mob trying to kill him when he said Rosenbaum had a gun while they were closing in on him.
If he lies to a lawless mob of felons yelling to "get him" and "cranium him", how can the jury trust ANYTHING he has to say??

Why would anyone feel the need to defend themselves in a place where there's guaranteed to be violence?

Yeah, the flimflamming of the ZimZam was pretty much the moment where I first began to turn on The Left and re-turned on the media (I already knew they were dogshit from their 2002-2004 reporting).

I remember that /pol/ was going crazy over the trial and I hadn't even been paying attention. I tune in, Jeantel is on the stand and it's going horribly. She's rude. She impeaches herself. Pop over to CNN and all they can talk about is how her testimony is going to force Zimmerman to take the stand and how racist the defense was towards her. It was the about the ugliest lie that could have been told and every talking on the screen nodded along.

Jacob Blake took 7 shots I think.
So as I understand it, 1x 5.56mm >>> 7x 9mm?
Just asking for whenever I live in a place where I can actually gun shop.
Also, to clear this up:
Bald midget = pedophile
Skateboard-swinging large-nosed fellow = wife-beater
Guy who took the arm shot and survived = just a random asshole

Not always. A single .22 round can kill you if it hits in the right spot, and you could survive multiple 556 if they don’t. There’s also varying types of rounds within those calibers which do different things to humans.
Comparing the velocity and damage when apples to apples though? Yes, 556 is > 9mm

Yup. All it took was a single shot from skaterboy and he was dead within a minute most likely.
I want to say skaterboy had some previous charges.
He appears to have had a felony conviction at one point but looks like it was expunged/sealed/whatever. Him being a prohibited person due to being a felon is referenced by in one of his arrest reports for dui.

It is perfectly understandable he would lie under that circumstances.

Shot placement is everything. Skater boy got his heart destroyed, a .22 pea shooter with that placement probably would have been terminal just as quickly. When your heart stops working you have only a few seconds of life before you hit the concrete. Blood pressure drop from that means he was probably unconscious even before he hit the ground.
