Social Kyle Rittenhouse updates

[Tairy Hesticles]

My point isn't that it makes the shooting illegal it just shows that Kyle wasn't qualified to be there. As good as his weapon handling was he didn’t appear to have the best situational awareness and looked to me to panic and not know what to do when things turned violent.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with this case. He is being charged with murder.

IMO, anyone arguing that he was totally justified being there is naive. This is a 17 year old kid who took an AK to a violent riot in a city that he doesn't live in. He was asking for trouble, and he found it. However, that information isn't pertinent to the charges.

The prosecution is going to have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Rittenhouse went there with the intention to kill. They won't be able to do this because you can't prove that with video evidence to the contrary. The most telling part is how he shoots two guys and then stops shooting once the third guy puts his hands up. He only shoots that guy's bicep once he lunges for his gun.

All of that is textbook self defense, and it's all on video. But just because you can't prove murder doesn't mean that he's not an idiot who went looking for trouble.

I agree with this too. It's more a condemnation of those around him that enabled him to be there.

i mean literally no one touched him until he shot someone so….

And the violent pedo that he shot did everything to earn those bullets

Count 2: FIRST DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

I don't know how minor I'd call this but it is a lot more minor than Murder 1.

There was someone in his line of fire when he shot the first assailant. I've seen some attorney's break this case down and a couple of them think that this one could spell trouble for Rittenhouse. And then some of them think that it will be a "no harm, no foul" situation given the circumstances of the first shooting.

The “victim” was the witness who stated that pedo went for kyle’s gun and when the bullet skipped off the ground, kyle was being attacked so that is such a stupid charge.

Edit: wanted to add that they are charging him for missing a shot while being attacked and calling it willful and reckless regard for human life. This is a ridiculous charge and I can’t remember the source, but I read somewhere that the bullet that struck the ground first went through pedo’s hip. Again, I don’t have the source on that.

are you advocating violence, there, sheriff? celebrating death? don’t make the mods look silly, now.

To counter some of your points:

1) He worked in the city... meaning he spent half or more of his waking hours there. So, saying "he didn't live there" is misleading, as it implies he's some sort of white supremacist that was bused in like we've seen in other right-wing protests.

2) 17yo is not a "kid," that's military age. He's being tired as an adult.

3) Counter protesting a "violent riot" is a good reason to arm yourself, and an assault rifle is the best LEGAL tool for that job... the alternative is to not get involved submitting to the violent rioters--letting them get their way.

advocating violence? No, saying it was 100 percent justified self defense. Sounds like someone is bitter they’re on yellows and either you are bitchmade and reported the post or you are a even bigger coward and are hoping by this post that the mods will see this and take action. But you failed because I am not advocating violence, I am simply stating that rosembaum’s aggressive actions led to his death. Where’s you stupid laughing emoji? Don’t forget you gimmick, shitposter

Every single one of those bullets was both well-earned, and retrospectively justified given his (and many, many other Antifa/BLM misfits) history as a disgusting paedo.

Since when in the use of justifiable self defense are you suppose to not panic?

1. not situationally aware
2. panicked
3. doesn't know what to do

you just described a victim, tbh

I've been watching some timeline vids today to try to get this thing figured out. From what I can gather it was roughly 40 minutes from the time that Rosenbaum was yelling "shoot me" to the time that Rittenhouse shot him. But I've been coming across some conflicting info so I'm not overly confident in that.

For a kid supposedly went there looking for trouble, and wanting to kill somebody, he sure seemed to take his sweet ass time doing it.

EXACTLY.

Meanwhile, TONS of Sherbros act as if they would have let THEIR kid go patrol the streets with a rifle like that............................... lol

Just like Dick Marcinko would have acted.

How about not bringing an ill equipped minor to a dangerous situation to provide armed security? This isn't Rio Bravo where just being a good shot makes you qualified.

What are the qualifications for private security?

If I'm not mistaken being an adult is the first prerequisite.

Have you found any training Kyle had taken? Even a Thunder Ranch course or anything at all? Going to his buddy's, that illegally bought a rifle for him, and having target practice doesn’t do much for me.

Maybe not on a technical level, but he sure as shit shoots better than most officers.

So you've never actually looked into it and have no idea what knowledge is required. Nor do you have any idea what training Kyle may have received.

Quality evaluation on your part.

This is meaningless. Yes, he shoots well, what was his training to develop his mind to make critical decisions?

Yet I'm m not the one creating a defense for him without knowing. <puh-lease75>

Better than whatever the fuck the local leo gives.
