I have no doubt that in Rittenhouse’s mind, he was shooting in self defense when he killed and wounded those people. However I do question his and his mother’s judgement in putting an inexperienced, immature 17 year kid in that position in the first place. Take him out of that situation and those three people are alive with both arms intact. I think several of Rittenhouse’s actions could certainly be considered reckless endangerment. I am glad that he did not get convicted of murder or hurt or killed but I don’t think he should have walked scott free either. He did not render any first aid nor did he prevent any damage from being done, which is why he said he went there. I think the prosecutors overcharged him and didn’t focus on the right elements. At any rate, I hope we don’t have a bunch of punk kids running around with military rifles playing Junior cops every time there is a street protest in America. It really bothers me that many imbeciles are making this obviously weak little crybaby sissy into some kind of hero. I have two grown sons and I would have not wanted either of them running around with that rifle in that situation. Would you?
Except he rendered first aid to two and put out fires. If you think you know everything your 17 year old does you are only fooling yourself. His mother had nothing to do with him being there and he has said if he knew what would happen he wouldn’t do it again but he had no idea how many would be there with long criminal records. How would he? He was an impressionable kid that supported police, a crime for some on the left.
"A note on Kenosha in light of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial: Until quite recently, the mainstream liberal argument was that burning down businesses for racial justice was both good and healthy. Burnings allowed for the expression of righteous rage, and the businesses all had insurance to rebuild. When I was at the New York Times, I went to Kenosha to see about this, and it turned out to be not true. The part of Kenosha that people burned in the riots was the poor, multi-racial commercial district, full of small, underinsured cell phone shops and car lots. It was very sad to see and to hear from people who had suffered. Beyond the financial loss, small storefronts are quite meaningful to their owners and communities, which continuously baffles the Zoom-class. Something odd happened with that story after I filed it. It didn’t run. It sat and sat. Now it could be that the piece was just bad. I’ve sent in bad ones before, and I’ll do it again. A few weeks after I filed, an editor told me: The Times wouldn’t be able to run my Kenosha insurance debacle piece until after the 2020 election, so sorry. There were a variety of reasons given—space, timing, tweaks here or there. Eventually the election passed. Biden was in the White House. And my Kenosha story ran. Whatever the reason for holding the piece, covering the suffering after the riots was not a priority. The reality that brought Kyle Rittenhouse into the streets was one we reporters were meant to ignore. The old man who tried to put out a blaze at a Kenosha store had his jaw broken. The top editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer had to resign in June 2020 amid staff outcry for publishing a piece with the headline, “Buildings Matter, Too.” If you lived in those neighborhoods on fire, you were not supposed to get an extinguisher. The proper response — the only acceptable response — was to see the brick and mortar torn down, to watch the fires burn and to say: thank you." TGIF: Inflation Rises. Russiagate Falls Apart. And J.K.

Ease up kimosobie I thought his mother drove him there. The rest of what i said applies though, nice dodge.
Seems like those on the right are ok with Trump supporters battering policemen after rat packing them 50-1...You call those scum Patriots....After poor little Kyle shot Rosenbaum 5 times he did not render any first aid, he ran like a little punk and killed another then blew a guys arm off. When a real policeman shoots a guy, he does render first aid, not scurry away like a cockroach. This kid is lucky to be alive and lucky not to be headed to the slammer. Definitely no hero and no example for other young men.
He didn't get away will killing anyone it was a lawful use of force there was nothing to get away with. It's the criminals who attacked him who did not get away with it. They would still be alive if they had not thought it cool to go and riot and brandish weapons and they'd still be alive if they had not decided to attack someone carrying a firearm for self-defense.
Which clearly enforces the media's narrative of our racist justice system being the sole reason why Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges. It is evidently clear to anyone with eyes that both of these gentlemen are in fact white supremacists. No no stop it, all of you. Don't think, just listen. This is 2021 for crying out loud you don't have to be white to be a white supremacist, that is so 2010....You can be brainwashed by society into being a white supremacist while black which still counts. There's different levels of it, some esteemed professor even made a scale to show you. The guy on the right was clearly a product of indoctrination in this country which is blatantly clear by the fact that he was not charged. It all points back to institutional racism if you'd stop being ignorant and pay attention to the facts. The fact that you can't understand that speaks volumes about you Steve... Or something.... I'm close right? I think I nailed it. I'm about ready to go grab my sign and take a red eye to Portland. No justice...No Peace...Say his name! WOOOOOO
Silly progs. Based on my own experience, I've never found Logic to be the strong suit of the meat heads who try to bully people, and that's all that's going on here - bullying. The amusing part is these self-styled "geniuses" think no one can see through it.
And thank you for your service Marine Dad x2 I've heard some stories. To your point, I don't find it too alarming or worrisome. People who are trained to defend and protect under the most immediate conditions with an attacker, know full well the perils and dangers and see someone, a civilian at that, do so against the bad guys. I certainly give them the leeway on their reactions.
You have a CONSTITUTION right to defend yourself and the government cannot sanction you if you do. One person was attempting to disarm him after threatening to kill him the other two were armed and were using their weapons. And just stop it trying to desperately smear him as a white supremist and claim this was about race.
If my child was killed because he was chasing down an innocent person with the intention of beating or murdering them and was shot in self defense, I failed at being a parent and would have long ago distanced myself from that failure before such an event could take place. I have no intention of either of my children turning into violent felons and haven’t raised them to be such people. That **** doesn’t fly in my family. We’re all educated middle/upper class and wealthy Jews who don’t involve ourselves in such things as rioting. Felons don’t run in our family. Only excellence. And you understand there was no protest going on when the shooting occurred. All that was happening was looting and burning. There were no innocent protestors in the vicinity. There were only the rioters and those trying to protect the businesses and help people. Kyle was helping people. There is evidence of that. The 3 people he shot were all felons and were there doing what felons do.
the riots that were taking place when rittenhouse decided to go play army and kill people were because a white police officer shot a black guy 7 times.. kinda like rittenhouse shooting a guy 4 times in less than one second...seems one shot could have been enough to defend himself .. after all..2 guys he killed were unarmed...but in your world a skateboard is a deadly weapon.. I say ..why not fire all cops and just allow punks like rittenhouse to keep the peace?? have you ever given any thought why trump and his administration did not allow the military to patrol the streets?? because that is what the uncivilized countries do...they unleash the military on it own citizens do a little homework and search the kent state protests... "4 dead in Ohio" may ring a bell can you image the innocent protesters that would have been injured and killed if tanks started rolling down the streets?? after all, most protesters were not breaking the law. just like on january 6th, not every protesters was breaking the law . personally, I think every person that stormed the capitol on january 6th should have been shot and killed deader than a doorknob and the ones screaming "hang mike pence" should have been the first shot..after all, they brought the gallows with them I do agree if a black kid had shot the pedophile and the other criminal and woulded another , the black kid rots in jail

I'm not at all confused about either issue that would be you sir. I noticed you did not take me up on my friendly wager. I tell you what I'll make you a deal another deal, since I can't copy and paste on this stupid cell phone because I don't know how what I will do is look up the Florida statute that specifically allows open carry when coming to or from camping hunting hiking or fishing and I will post that for you and when you look it up and you realize that you're wrong you will simply admit that you were wrong do we have a deal? Not that I expect you to actually have the integrity to admit that you were wrong what I expect from you is simply more silly insults. Such as when you asked me if I was blind drunk no I actually wasn't but even if I was blind drunk I would know more than you seem to think you know on this topic. For instance I know if I wish to know about the laws of the State of Florida I go to the Florida state statutes not a website that has a vested interest in selling me a product such as a concealed carry permit which naturally would not be very admissive about the nature of open carry laws in Florida under certain circumstances. However had you read your own link like I attempted to do before it took me to some sort of paywall, you would have seen even your own link admitted that it was permissible under certain circumstances though it did not name those circumstances I myself have named them for you several times now. If you wish to remain ignorantly and denial that's your choice but at this point it's a willful choice you've been advised otherwise enjoy your evening. And by the way I have no interest in arguing your straw man pay close attention to my words as reading comprehension does not seem to be your strong point. At no point that I did I say that open carry is simply legal in the state of Florida now here's the important words pay close attention.... Open carry is legal in the state of Florida when going to or coming from camping, hunting, hiking or fishing. In fact there is a group that goes around different Florida municipalities specifically taking their guns openly carried to places such as public fishing piers and on the way to their vehicles just to see what sort of stupid cops don't know the law like you don't seem to know it.
Of course not, many cops prey on people's ignorance of their rights and use dishonesty and deception to manipulate people into placing themselves into a compromising situation that they would never do if they were aware of their rights. I have personally had cops that are somewhat friendly if you will, explain to me how they lie and manipulate people and get around that pesky little issue of their rights..... remember to the extent that you do not know your rights you effectively do not have those rights
@Pro_Line_FL here is the specific statutes. After you read it and educate yourself you may apologize for your petty insults and projections but I won't be holding my breath, in fact I don't even expect that you'll read it and admit your mistake but anyhow should you choose to do so look this up.... Florida statutes 790.25 section 3 (h)
Could you explain to the forum how you came to that conclusion? Did the fake news media brainwash you into believing that? Or what?
And in the jury's mind he was defending himself. Does the justice system only work when you get the outcome you want?
For one, BLM and the Democratic lies of systemic racism are starting to be seen for the divisive BS that they are.
