He didn’t go to the riot. He was protecting a piece of property. The riot came to them.How does a minor end up at a protest with a rifle? What was he doing there?

Yes it was very irresponsible of the adults around him to let him go down there. Thank god he was the one in a million teenager who in an extremely volatile situation was able to exercise restraint and remain calm and collected in the face of extreme violence.Kids are expected to be irresponsible, that's why we call them "kids." The adults that he was with and the police that were encouraging him need to be held accountable.
he was attacked by angry unruly mob...
also if usa becoming more like Brazil is cause of all the mayors and governors not enforcing the law and letting the looting and rioting taking place.
Painting over graffiti, helping to clean up vandalism...contributing to his community, coming to a business asking for protection from looting and arson...i say this kid was raised right and has a solid moral compass...
Interesting how you and just about every liberal and leftist here have failed to criticize or take into account the threats and aggressive behavior from the mob.
Don't you think that had something to do with what unfolded?
Do you believe the Kenosha kid set out to kill people that night?
pictures up loader websitemy point (which you missed) was, what was a 17 year old doing in the middle of a riot with a rifle? How did the end up there?
Law isn't being enforced either by the police (insufficient training and accepting anyone into the force, frequently leading to use of excessivte force) or politicians (corrupt and not interested in helping fellow citizens but only pursuing corporate interests), which got you into this mess.
Whats going on in the US, can only be seen in 3rd world nations or authoritarian nations like Russia and China.
So, a 17 year old kid who defended himself against serious bodily harm and/or death is not able to have any accounts maintained for him on these donation based sites. The reason given by go fund me was that they prohibit any fundraising for suspects of violence or hate. However, Jared Blake is now a millionaire thanks to go fund me. He is a violent criminal and was wanted on warrants for sexual assault and domestic violence. Seems fair.

TDS does strange things
So now we’re victim blaming?
It’s like if a 17 year old girl went to a party where they serve alcohol and drugs and when some guys try to rape her she shoots them and all you can think of is to blame her for what happened?
Let’s not blame adults committing crime, let’s just focus on 17 year old who we think shouldn’t be there....
Your analogy is shit (as this was no party or happy gathering he went to).
And yes I am blaming this dumbass kid who thought it would be cool to go into a riot carrying a rifle. As if police force needed his help.
Where are his parents in all of this? How did they allow their kid to cross states to be at a riot?
Its the topic of this thread.
so again let’s not blame adults (and teens) looting and rioting, and politicians not enforcing the law.
let’s focus all our attention on a 17 year old who successfully defended himself again an angry mob...
And if you had any common sense you would see how absurd it is to blame a 17 year old for successfully defending himself against an angry mob.
This shit analogy again....So now we’re victim blaming?

Intentionally, how?You don't have a problem with a 17 year old boy carrying an illegal weapon across state lines and how the Kenosha PD intentionally caused a confrontation between protesters and an armed militia?
unable to judge until I know this kid’s full background and past record.
has he volunteered before? What’s his GPA?
This shit analogy again....
It’s reasonable to assume you will be safe at a party or on a date which is why people generally dont show up to those with semi automatic weapons. It’s not reasonable to assume you’re going to be safe during a riot, which is why the kid showed up armed. It’s a false equivalence.
Not my place to say who was “more likely” that’s the job of evidence and investigation...
It’s not a “question in your mind”but your mind is not what will Determine this cases outcome.
Like I said before ,let the evidence and investigators do the job.
None of us know exactly the entire story. Everyone is rushing in way to fast.
I have 0 sympathy for dumbasses intentionally seeking trouble.
To be fair he is only 17 and if anyone is to be blamed for getting him into that situation (where he needed to defend himself in the middle of a riot) its his parents.
What kind of a parent lets his kid have a rifle + attend a riot? How can a 17 year old even have access to a rifle?
I'd love to see a complete history of all web pages he looked at the last year. I'd be curious how many bogus stories fed by bots he saw. I'd like to know if he was manipulated intentionally via a Cambridge analytics type program.
Is this the type of thing Russia, China or some other entity would do do promote unrest?
