Thread: Kyle Rittenhouse. Murder or self defense ?

Regardless he was not obligated to give away his gun to someone who wanted to steal it. It was within his rights to defend himself. He could have done the same with a knife

But he didn't . . . he shot and killed people. He's a beta cuck like someone else on here.

Your arguments of 'lots of people were carrying guns and they didn't get charged' holds little sway

Easy question. Was he legally allowed to carry that assault rifle on the streets of Kenosha?

Easy answer. No.



The trailer trash mother has a lot to answer for as well.

Legality of the weapon matters not a jot in a case of self defense.

It does matter for the appropriate weapon's charge.

In your house yes, but not walking down the streets of a small city.

No, it doesn't matter legally in the state where it happened.

Hence, it doesn't affect the charges other than the possession charge. :-)

Mr.Rittenhouse was not legally obligated to surrender to Mr. Rosenbaums attack, because he wasn't on his property. Which is what you are saying.

This isn't Australia. This isn't Canada.

Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18, per WI statute § 948.60. Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. This is a class A misdemeanor under Wisconsin law, punishable by a maximum of 9 months in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. If this were the only charge on which Rittenhouse were convicted, and given that he has no prior criminal history, he may well face no jail time whatever and only a relatively modest fine.

But its not is it? Not only did he carry it he "took care" of those he did not care for..

The public can hope that the outcome doesn't affect his future chances of being able to work within a public security role.

His desire to protect the property of others, the level headed and safe manner in which he handled such a violent situation are exemplary, and would be an asset to the safety of any community, if he can be employed in such a field.

I believe you are quite correct but the usual stalkers will be along soon to issues the standard petty insults.
It's pretty clear now that the DA reacted too quickly in this case and that the defendant was overcharged on every count except for the weapons charge.
The prosecution was faced with a real uphill battle to prove the murder changes....

Can't help but feel many of the people framing now 18 year old Rittenhouse as an innocent kid are the same ones that tried to portray then 12 year old Tamir Rice as a thug and imminent danger to society.

There are even some that idolize the type of person who sucker punches a girl multiple times in the face, wished he had a gun to shoot criminals, illegally acquired an assault rifle and drove across State lines to act out a law enforcement fetish, killed people and basked in the notoriety aftermath by hanging with Proud Boys and throwing up known white supremacy hand signs.

That's some fucked up shit.

. . . not to mention the Teakdoor legal team who wish him to be convicted and burned at the stake without even the trouble and expensive of an actual trial.

You do realise that a forum is there to exchange views . . . views YOU may not agree with, views that have no bearing on a trial in WI, views that are made by laymen . . . That, in essence, is what a chat forum is about.

You're back...they have let you come back to SC. Aww.

Rittenhouse's performance theatre on the stand is being rightly pilloried.

Mind, I suppose when Ricky Schroder is your acting coach it's never going to be a performance to trouble the Academy.

Considering I was banned for *Checks* no reason at all I don't know if 'let' is the right term.

Yes, I am.

Thank you for your comment.

The Miami chapter of the Proud Boys are quite confident of his acquittal also:



Lovely people.

Not everyone who supports Rittenhouse is a white supremacist but all white supremacists support Rittenhouse.

If we permit vigilantes to come to tense conflict areas armed with assault-style rifles and to claim self defense after KILLING people—even though they made themselves willing combatants in the danger zone—God help us all. We will have lost all reason.

The yellow could do with being toned down a bit, it's very bright for a flag.

Might just be exposure from the photo.

Let us know what it's like in person when yours arrives.

That is a take of the Gadsden flag, which dates to the revolutionary war. But in recent times it has been adopted by right-wing loons, gun nuts, white supremacist and trumpanzees.
