Social Kyle Rittenhouse updates

[Confucamus]

He wasn't from Kenosha, he was from Illinois.

He drove to Kenosha looking to stand up to the mob, aka. act as a vigilante.

And he took a gun that he was not of a legal age to possess.

And he ended up getting attacked and killing two people, wounding a third.

None of this would have happened if he wasn't trying to be a vigilant, if he had stayed home and let the police handle their job...

... which is exactly what the police are asking people to do.

Rittenhouse went there to help protect a business. He was also offering his services as an EMT and was also seen with a fire extinguisher to help put out fires. Also helped clean up graffiti that was defacing private property. He was there to literally do the opposite of what the protesters, who have been burning down cities and murdering people across the country, were there to do.

Harping on the issue of his age is silly. Whether or not it was illegal for him to have a gun has no relevance to whether he was defending himself or not.

Yeah being there is not the best idea, but how that changes facts that it was self defence?

He was running away and only started shooting when mob caught up to him, tripped him and try to attack him on the ground.

also it’s laughable talking about “fully functional police force” when there looting and rioting taking place while the city is burning

It changes the story because you can’t willfully insert yourself into a situation, antagonize and then claim self defense. Eg, you can’t go to Compton with a tshirt with a swastika on it, start yelling about ‘n****** are subhumans’, shoot someone when you predictably get attacked and claim that none of this is your fault, you’re just defending yourself. I’m not saying that’s the equivalent of what happened here, but we dont exactly know what happened here leading up to the attack, so let’s not pretend like we do.

Quit stalling kid, you made the statement. Either back it up or move on.

Always funny when a kid calls you kid...

There’s been looting and rioting for the past 3 months, but i guess that’s perfectly fine for you?

 

[WhiteMousse]

Yeah we know that GoFundMe slants heavily left. I guess it's their right to do so.

Something tells me however that Rittenhouse will not be lacking in funding.

Is anyone else starting to get worried about the segmentation of not only political views, but finances? We're one country but more and more things are continually being divided. Twitter is left. The inhabitants of Youtube are right.

I think this is going to continue until someone asks the obvious question- why are we still one country?

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

I agree, ideally no ones business is looted or burned down. Also, no one is shot and or killed.

So which is more important? The personal property or the lives lost and damaged?

Now if I had a choice, no one gets shot.

A 17 year old kid running around shooting people isn't going to make any parent I know proud BTW.

"Running around shooting people"?

See, that's either an ignorant or dishonest assessment. Kyle was out there helping people in various ways that day. Maybe focus your condemnation on the adult felons who were trying to harm this poor child?

Should he have let himself get beat to whatever degree the convicted felt was satisfying? Jesus Christ man. If all you care about is his age and want to see him go to prison for what any moron can see was self-defense then I don't know what else to say. Those dead losers aren't dead because Kyle was protecting property. They're dead because Kyle was protecting himself from bodily harm that all of them clearly intended to commit.

I see you decided to move on and change the subject.

No, I'm not okay with riots and or looting.

 

[WhiteMousse]

Kyle Rittenhouse is like Nick Sandmann. Both guilty by the media before all the evidence is looked at.

Yep and when he walks or gets a slap on the wrist with probation or whatever people are going to riot even more

If he wanted to protect himself he would have stayed home. We both know this. He went there strapped and ready to rumble.

Having armed militia running around is some third world Somalia shit.

Would you rather the building was looted and no one was shot or is what happend preferable outcome to you?

Pretty sure you also don't get to chase someone down who may have insulted you so you can administer a beating. Or can you?

If you can't, then doing so opens you up to the other person engaging in self-defense. Since we know for a fact Kyle ran away, whatever you're speculating on to justify a grown man attempting to beat this kid is of little consequence.

And you were the one talking about “shit analogies” earlier...

Didn’t know having a gun is equivalent to calling blacks subhumans?

i guess you learn something everyday...

Also what situation are you talking about?

looting and rioting?

You don’t wanna antagonize looters and rioters and make them uncomfortable?

The only options are either what happened or to allow the building to be looted and nobody gets hurt? Maybe the racist and violent hate mob have no business doing what they’re doing. They should not be let off the hook here.

great, now why are they still happening in democrat led cities/states?

Well he didn't. He wanted to help people. And it's pretty low character to shit all over him for that. Don't ever accuse someone else of blaming the victim, because that's exactly what you're doing.

Having the NG roaming around is 3rd world shit too. But thanks to the leftists in America encouraging all these "peaceful protests", good people are being forced to defend their communities. How many threads here have you been in condemning the people who are causing the chaos?

Pretty sure you can’t kill someone with a gun for punching you in the face. Maybe it’s different in the US.

And what is a 17 year child doing driving to another state to "help protect a business" with a gun that he is not old enough to have?

I'm not saying his heart wasn't in the right place, but somebody with a fucking developed pre-frontal cortex should have told him to stay put an let the police do their job.

He could have gone and helped clean up graffiti next week if that's what he wanted to do. The last thing our country needs right now is vigilante mobs out clashing with rioters in the streets-- especially if those people are children.

Read the whole post again and tell me where I draw a direct analogy. Done? Ok. It’s not an analogy. It’s a demonstration of a situation where a self defense claim most likely wouldn’t fly because of the circumstances leading up to the attack. In case you didn’t read that part either, I’ll say it again: we don’t know the exact circumstances yet.

 

[Strychnine]

The lawyer should just do it pro bono.

Problem solved.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Moving the goal posts now, eh? Maybe you should focus more on what's known instead of making up something else that didn't happen.

Dead was chasing the kid down, and any honest person will agree it's almost certainly to administer a beating. We have no idea what level of violence that particular felon was going to engage in. A witness, and Kyle's lawyer, say was trying to take the gun after having him cornered. That adds up to self-defense. Do you have any actual facts that indicate otherwise?

 

[HomeCheese]

So what do you think, is it better that he went down there and shot people or would it have been better if he stayed home and the building was looted? I'm guessing he wishes he stayed home.

Having a child running around all strapped like that is a bad idea. If he wanted to help the community there is a million ways he could have done that didn't involve a rifle.

Since you mention it, who is causing the chaos?

FFS, it's posted in this thread.
