A man was killed after being hit in the head with a skateboard in an act of self-defense during a fight in a Santa Ana Starbucks.
Around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, a fight broke out between two men in the 3300 block of South Bristol Street. Authorities received calls regarding an assault with a deadly weapon inside the Starbucks.
Assault with a deadly weapon?
Stephen L. Miller ~ You don't say.
Whatevs ~ A skateboard you say?
But a skateboard can’t be a deadly weapon! The prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial told us that a skateboard can’t be used as a weapon. Certainly not a deadly one.
politicized agendas ~ Someone send this to the prosecutor of the Rittenhouse case.
ColbysBack ~ Almost like they can be used as a deadly weapon. Anyone feel like telling Binger?
Sean The Producer ~ cc: Binger and Kraus
ŠarŠarrāni ~ Impossible.
I’ve been informed by a certain Kenosha prosecutor that a skateboard can’t be a deadly weapon.
We’re so confused!
Amy Curtis ~ I was told a skateboard is not a deadly weapon.
Roland Deschain ~ I thought skateboards were not deadly weapons?
Have we been misled all this time?
J.P. Sochacki ~ We need strict 🛹 control laws due to guys like Anthony Huber.
WienNeêrlandsBloed ~ "You lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the skateboard."
We’d love to know if the Kenosha DA’s office agrees with that.
Judge Alex Ferrer ~ For those who wonder why someone would shoot a person threatening them with a skateboard.

Update
Important note from a reader:
DaDaubs ~ The article is from Nov, 2015 ... been known for a while.
Skateboards can be considered deadly weapons according to Cal. Law, too.
Correct. The date on the article is November 24, 2015. And we have updated our headline and removed a “today” from our post accordingly, so as to discourage any confusion.
But the fact that the incident occurred almost six years ago actually makes the Rittenhouse trial prosecutors look even worse and more incompetent, because they dismissed the notion that a skateboard could be used as a deadly weapon after a skateboard had literally been used as a deadly weapon.
When this trial is over, the prosecution themselves should be prosecuted ... for sucking so hard at their jobs.
