Then why was he charged with homicide?except for this kid did it to protect himself and the rioters are trying to hurt others,,,So? Are laws applying to the rioters who also had guns and were out past curfew? Or just this guy?What crime would that be? The crime of self defense?Really? We had guns as kids. Even took them to school LEGALLYAre militias typically full of kids in their rank and file?It is still unclear whether this is a right-wing militia member or a left-wing protester belonging to a group such as antifa.
Details should be revealed soon:

Illinois teen arrested in fatal shooting at Kenosha protest, police say | CNN
A 17-year-old Illinois resident connected to an overnight shooting during a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was taken into custody Wednesday morning, according to police in Antioch, Illinois.www.cnn.com
Seems pretty far fetched to me. Anyone can "claim" anything. Doesn't make it so.
Either way the left have the blood of 30+ people on their hands.
If you are 17 and carrying a gun, you are already breaking the law even if you didn't shoot anybody.
Yup. That is so very true.
I remember growing up in Montana, and during hunting season there were lots of kids who had rifles in the gun racks in their trucks. But, the school only allowed it during hunting season, and the guns had to stay inside the vehicle while on school grounds. And yeah, I've seen a couple of them bag a deer on their way into school (lots of open prairie and grassland around where I grew up). But then again, that was back in the mid 70's to early 80's.
I would have to read up on their laws, but I think carrying a loaded firearm in public is different than carrying an empty gun on a gun rack. In our state, if you do not have a CCW, the ammo has to be separate (out of arms reach) from your weapon. The gun goes in your glove compartment and ammo in the trunk of your car.
Just doing a web search looks like you might be right. It’s illegal to open carry a firearm under age 18. If that’s the case, he may lose his ability to claim self defense as he was committing a crime.
Did you read my post? It looks like it might be illegal to open carry a firearm under 18. Not to mention he was breaking curfew.
Obviously the issue here is that this kid killed 2 people and almost killed a third. If any of the other rioters killed people, I expect the same laws to apply.
