Man Being Beaten With Baseball Bat Faces Charges For Shooting His Attackers? [Updated]

The last I checked, a man being held and beaten with a baseball bat by multiple assailants would seem to be under a clear assault with a deadly weapon, justifying a lethal force response in self defense.

That’s why I have to wonder what the heck is going on in Milwaukee, where a maintenance man being beaten in a stairwell with a baseball bat faces charges after killing his attackers:

What does a traffic stop have to do with self defense? Like you've never been pulled over...

I believe "Nightmare's" intent was to show that Wisconsin Court Access only has a single record, and it wasn't for the shooting. Nightmare was simply trying to "cite to authority" that charges were not filed.

And using it to harass is a crime. Better read that addendum before you click the box that says "I accept."
