Rittenhouse not guilty

Thankfully the MSM tactic of overwhelming fake news didn’t affect the verdict. Kid did what he had to do. I don’t think he should have gone there in the first place, but I’m happy that the justice system judged him on a fair system and that he is free. I hope he sues the shit out of everyone who defamed him including the idiot in the Oval Office and his useless VP.

American law seems mad to me, if you go out with a gun looking for trouble & shoot 3 people should be locked up for a long time.

He wasn’t out looking for trouble. He was extinguished fires the idiot rioters were lighting in their widely accepted behavior to destroy private property to show their protest against police. If any concept is mad, it’s the concept that it’s okay to be a thieving piece of shit and not face any consequences.

It would be useful to have a non-partisan discussion thread about this but when bias boils over in every sentence… it’s quite a hard thing to do.

I think that most normal thinking people will wonder how a 17 year old can take a rifle into another state, claim on TV to be part of the emergency services and end up shooting dead two people and injuring another.

On a very, very basic level there are so many things wrong with him getting off with that and the precedent that it sets for gunslinging rednecks right across the country is horrific to think about.

Do you need a machine gun to put out fires?

Is the appropriate punishment fort someone suspected of being "a thieving piece of shit" being shot to death by a member of the public, immediately, with no trial?

USA is pretty fucked up place.

I agree. What I've seen of the accused, he certainly came over as rather immature.

And allowing such a person to be walking strange streets, at a time of heightened tension, armed with a deadly firearm, fills me with horror.

So it's okay he shot to death a few people because it's a different type of gun and it was the police's fault anyway.

It’s not against the law to open carry a weapon. It is against the law to attack someone with a skateboard, set fire to private property and sexually abuse children.

Everything okay this morning?

You seem to be angry that I don't know the difference between different types of mass murder weaponry. And then made up something about what you think that I might think about crossing state lines.

This has gone beyond parody.

I'll leave you guys to the excitement that in the US you can shoot and kill people and get off. And yet if you're suspected of theft it's a reasonable reason for members of the public to shoot and kill you.

Have fun.

If Kyle had been the aggressor then he would of been found guilty. But he wasnt, he was protecting himself from a baying mob. Which is his legal right, as now seen in the juries verdict.

Seems like alot of people would of liked to see his head smashed in. Says more about them imo

Seems weird that he shot three people who just happened to be multiple felons rampaging through Kenosha. Seems those sort of riots attract a lot of criminal hangers on.

Massive respect to those who demonstrated last night and remained overwhelmingly peaceful.

Apart from Portland but we all knew that was going to happen. Bet they can’t refund the police quick enough.

Kyle should've allowed himself to be killed or injured before defending himself. The prosecution and MSNBC would rather have seen that!

He drove 30 minutes to get to the riot. He and others chose to take semi automatic weapons.

Deserve is a strong word.

I personally dont find it regrettable that a convicted child predator tried to attack a minor and got his Darwin award by express delivery.

Maybe dont try to attack people and grab rifles? A rifle that he is fully legal to open carry and use to defend himself if needed.

"Veery interesting that you have several peeople here on the side of the agressors

As i have said before, says more about you

Do you think these people deserved to be killed?

Did Kyle deserve to be atttacked?

Definitely not, did his attackers deserve to die?

Deserve is a strong word.

I personally dont find it regrettable that a convicted child predator tried to attack a minor and got his Darwin award by express delivery.

Maybe dont try to attack people and grab rifles? A rifle that he is fully legal to open carry and use to defend himself if needed.

How the hell did he know he was a ‘child predator’ when he shot him? Btw, I am not surprised by the verdict, technically he didn’t break the law , no wonder America is so fucked up

When did i say he did?

Rosenbaum is the only one responsible for what happened to him. His actions lead him to being legally shot. If he had left Kyle alone he most likely would be alive right now.

Rittenhouse grew up and lived in Kenosha with his father. He lived in Antioch when staying with his mother

He didn't carry a gun across state lines

He had been beaten to the ground, beaten with a skateboard, kicked in the face and the guy who was shot in the arm was pointing his unlicensed gun at Rittenhouse before he was shot

Rosenbaum was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for sexually abusing children.

Huber had been charged with domestic abuse and also served time after he tried to kill his own brother

Tbh the verdict isn’t a surprise and judging by the law he was not guilty, there were 3 people shot , did the other person have a criminal record?

Legally, he deserved to be shot. If the outcome of that is that he dies, thats on him.

So when it comes to any trail involving firearms, us over here just do not understand the whole picture.

He tried to get to the police but was chased away from them. He probably brought a gun for the same reason that the person who was pointing an unlicensed gun in Rittenhouses face. Three on one and one of those also had a gun

There are two very different things to consider in this case. The first, and obviously most important in regard to guilt or otherwise, is the law as it stands in Wisconsin.

It appears that under the self-defence laws, if he felt he was threatened, and felt in fear of his life. He was justified in using lethal force.

I believe the prosecutor failed to make a very good case, and the defence were successful in convincing the jury he did feel this way.

The very separate issue is the morality of this law, how it can be used to justify people seeking confrontation to then defend their actions for example.

I think both these things are quite alien to UK (and in fact much of European) thinking.

To my mind these laws are very wrong, in fact I think that about ownership of guns also. But those are not the points of this case.

Sadly I think this was the right decision under these horribly wrong laws.

You are making an assumption he went for confrontation.

if there was evidence that he went from confrontation then from my knowledge that would not constitute self defense

The only evidence we have is that he went to provide medical aid and his rifle was for protection not confronting rioters
