Seems to me that the shootee knows that the shooter will not face prosecution, and he wants to make it seem like he influenced that decision. My guess is that the shootee has been told that law enforcement has determined the shooting to be self-defense. This theory says that since the shootee would be considered the aggressor if the case is determined to be self-defense, the shootee needs to appear as magnanimous as he can right now.

The shootee was the guy going around beating the crap out of Trump supporters(Watch the videos). He needs to be in jail.

Maybe he should have tried dialogue before he got shot instead of attacking the person who shot him in self-defense.

Yep. Spin it to win it when you the facts are against you.

What would a duel look like if it were two guys with competing narratives at forty paces?

It might have made a great Monty Python sketch.

Sounds like more range time was in order.

“restorative justice process” equals kumbaya. I’ve been in seminars. It’s a tool of the SJWs. One of its proponents and speakers is Peter Yarrow known for among other things as having been convicted for molesting a 14 year old girl. He served three months in jail until Carter pardoned him.

Dear lefty punk,

We don’t care to dialog with rioting bullies. Don’t take part in riots, respect conservatives right to speak, and you we won’t have to shoot you.

Great article. Not. Six paragraphs of spin, presenting the shootee as such a reasonable guy not interested in retribution at all, before finally in the seventh paragraph getting around to mentioning that he just might have been attacking the man that shot him and that the action might very well have been a case of legitimate self-defense.

"Campus Safety Magazine," just doing what leftist rags do, hiding the truth.

OT, but the expression “multiple surgeries” always sounds like something an uneducated person would say.

I realize it has become accepted vernacular, like using the phrase “begging the question” to mean “to ask a question that begs for an answer,” which is not at all its original meaning.

“My client isn’t interested in using the apparatus of the state to punish the individual,” attorney Sarah Lippek said Tuesday.

In other words, he knows he was in the wrong and the shooter was only defending himself.

“My client isn’t interested in using the apparatus of the state to punish the individual,” attorney Sarah Lippek said Tuesday. “He’d like to engage in dialogue and a restorative justice process.”

Translation: "My client doesn't want to go to jail for felonious rioting, assault and battery."

Sorry but something stinks this shooter was not there as a Milo supporter.. the left would be going crazy if it was a right winger who shot a left winger at a protest

The shooter claimed the guy he shot was a white supremacist because of a swastika tattoos... and only found out the guy shot was a left wing protester after

No way the left and gun grabber and media would let the slide if the shooter was really one from our side...

I really think the guy with gun is a leftist there with a gun to shoot Milo....the left is hiding a blue on blue shooting

The shooter already engaged the shootee once. Further engagement doesn’t seem necessary.

Dialogue? Okay. Here’s your dialogue:

Don’t assault people and you won’t get shot.

“asking to engage with the shooter”

You already did that buddy, and the other guy had to shoot you in self defense.

Interesting discussion. My 2 cents. The “shootee” has lawyered-up. Odd unless he wants to do a civil lawsuit against the shooter.

The statement was released by the lawyer.

The police and prosecutor have released the shooter, which means he had a pretty compelling self defense story (probably witnesses as well as the video).

Some things indicate that the shooter had texted/tweeted to the speaker about his stolen Make American Great Hat hoping he might get a signed one or some bling from the speaker.

I think that the shootee through their attorney is trying to avoid some serious jail time.

I am concerned about the shooter in regards to discharging a weapon in the middle of a crowd. My hope is that the shooter really knows his stuff and that he had frangible ammo and not some FMJ that could over penetrate and hurt an innocent bystanders. My fear is that the prosecutor will charge the shooter with some form of recklessness for discharging his weapon. I hope not, but in Seattle it could happen. If it does all heck will break loose.
