If Rittenhouse not convicted of murder, who will riot?

Apparently, Kenosha and some other cities are preparing for anticipated riots since the prosecution is generally percieved to have failed to disprove Rittenhouse's claim of self defense (the jury is likely to start deliberating monday after closing arguments, so we'll see). Rittenhouse is white, and the people he shot were all white. So who is going to be rioting, and why? Is BLM going to riot because a white guy 'got away with' shooting some white guys? Or are white people now about to start tearing apart black communities because a white guy shot some white guys at a BLM protest? Or are white people actually going to tear apart their own communities for once? Or maybe Soros will throw us a curve ball and fund some asian instigators to start riots in latino communities just to try something new for once...

How do you see this playing out?

 

Antifa will come cause trouble but BLM won't show up. It will be short lived since ANTIFA won't be able to hide behind BLM and they won't get the same support.

 

Maybe. But I think if 'anti'Fa shows up to wreck the poor black communities over whites getting shot, BLM will destroy them, and if 'anti'Fa tries to wreck their own upper class communities, the rich progs that live there will have their private security destroy them. I don't think there's much they can actually get away with over this.

 

A white guy beating a white guy in an election is racist. A white child shooting white terrorists in self defense is racist. The left wing blancophobes have gone over the top with their everything is racist agenda.

Let’s be honest. Does anyone really give a crap about racism? If they did Sharpton wouldn’t be a millionaire. Racism is a feeling the left has been guilty of for decades and the way they try to atone forget it is trying to pass on that guilt to YOU.

 

Why concern yourself about potential riots?

If he gets off, even more pumped-up self-righteous punks will be emboldened to show up to protests and start shooting.

 

If he 'gets off', Democratic resisters will think differently about approaching someone who is armed. We have lived under BLM/Antifa tyranny since at least 2015, and if the right of self defense is upheld, that tyranny will at least be abated in some form.

 

Who will show up? Idiots and law enforcement...

 

Im not particularly concerned. No one comes where I live to riot. But clearly Kenosha and some other cities are concerned, boosting their LE manpower over the next week, and I'm curious who they think is going to riot.

Did you watch the trial? The footage they showed had people with rifles everywhere in Kenosha the night of the Rittenhouse shootings. They call it the Rittenhouse shootings because the only people who were shot were the people who were trying to kill Rittenhouse...

 

Yet to be proven!

I'm pretty sure there's no way they'll let him walk.

 

It's this precisely this kind of thinking that will be the reason that Rittenhouse will be thrown in prison.

More guns on the streets is a really bad idea. I wonder how many of those protesters and rioters had concealed guns? Adding a bunch of vigilantes carrying long guns is not going to help.

 

It doesn't have to be proven. They're dead, and so proving it is impossible. What has to be proven is that Rittenhouse didn't have reason to believe they were trying to kill him. I'm guessing you didn't watch the trial, or I doubt you would be so confident.

 

The media is spinning faleshoods for you. The recent propaganda campaign portraying self defense as vigilanteism in the US has no basis in reality. The legal definition of a vigilante is "Someone who personally claims to enforce law and order, but lacks legal authority to do so" ( Vigilante | Wex | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute (cornell.edu) ) In the US, citizens have the legal authority to defend their own lives with lethal force, as well as the legal authority to defend their property with force (not always lethal though, depends on the state and circumstance). Calling people vigilantes for defending their own lives and property with firearms is legally inaccurate and factually incorrect.

 

The judge has ruled he would allow the jury to consider that Rittenhouse had provoked one encounter. I wouldn't be so confident!

 

That's fine, but I think Rittenhouse was going into a different State trying to defend...not sure what??

 

Provoking an encounter does not necessarily(by itself) mean that a person has lost their right to a self-defense claim. As an example, let's use a street brawl(without weapons) and let's say you're a big macho guy and you think you can take this dude. Well, it turns out that in fact you're getting your ass kicked. You still have the right to flee, or to defend yourself as the one who was assailed now becomes the aggressor.

In this case, let's say that Rittenhouse provoked a person/encounter, but this encounter became deadly. I'd ask His Honor: So is he supposed to just stand there and let the victim become a potentially deadly aggressor? I hold the view that it is the one who escalates a conflict that is responsible, not necessarily always the initiator.

 

If Rittenhouse not convicted of murder, who will riot?

Antifa I would imagine. It was their riot.

 

BLM outside of it's leadership is 80+ percent Caucasian, Antfa, like occupy wall street before it is largely composed of the ne'er-do-well spoiled children of rich white liberals and a few Soros rent-a-thugs to add a bit of toughnesss. The membership overlap between the two is likely near 80%

 

And yet it as the Boogaloo Bois and white supremacists that were there in Kenosha urging on the stone cold killer Rittenhouse.

 

The left projects everything they believe onto everyone they hate.

 

I doubt he will be acquitted of much other than the most serious charges.

​

The hierarchy of self-defense that involve deaths:

1. Save your life and the lives of your loved ones.
2. Stay out of prison
3. Keep your house through the civil lawsuits sure to follow.

First you get through 1., hopefully in a manner that gets you through 2. and 3. The political environment in which it occurs has a significant impact on the jury. Kyle may have to settle with living through an experience that many would have died in.

 

No riot.

 

I'm thinking blm could care less about white people dead and injured. Now if they had been BLACK..total other story. But since not, no riots from them. Riots will have be up to whites who sympthasize more with the rioting attackers then the person trying to keep alive.

 

Depends! Will there be free Liquor, sport clothing and shoes, pharmaceuticals and bon-fires???

 

With a little rewording that could apply to many people, even those that don't even live it the U.S.

 

Well you know the DNC mantra
