Yes. Quality of character of the victim (s) is irrelevant, it’s the principle of the action. I won’t be holding any vigils for the dead guys, but it doesn’t make what the kid did right. And not for nothing... where the FUCK are Rittenhouse’s parents? You let your kid go to a riot in another state, and he owns an assault rifle? Parents Of The Year right there, JESUS🙄😒 One of the prime tenets of law & order is that citizens do NOT take matters into their own hands unless absolutely necessary and it’s left to supposedly trained law enforcement officers (who are fucking up left and right and is the whole reason we’re in this mess to start with, but that’s another story). That means literally bringing it to your doorstep. That does not include living out your angsty suburban dorky white kid’s Joker dreams. The three victims, while certainly not Boy Scouts... their cause was valid. Were they there to legitimately protest or stir shit up? Who knows... but a cop, for like the bajillionth time this year alone, shot an unarmed black guy, not once, but SEVEN times, simply for not obeying a command, and that is fucking ridiculous, no matter how you try to justify it. So while I don’t necessarily want to see civil unrest and maybe some of the unfortunate side effects from the less orderly members of the protesting faction, I totally understand WHY they’re out there, and honestly, to even challenge that cause kind of spotlights you as an asshole, that should be a no-brainer, but people just obviously don’t give much of a shit about black people and want to continue this false narrative that it’s all their fault. So Rittenhouse is probably an asshole, just for opposing this, and to show up and try to physically stop it? Well, now you’re a REAL asshole. People should absolutely be in the streets when this shit happens because the peaceful method hasn’t been working since you could see an alive MLK on a black & white TV. The disparity in the treatment of young black men —regardless of what anyone thinks of their behavior— by police, not just this year, but every year in our country’s post-Abolition period, is indisputably obvious and egregious. Lip service gets paid every time, and the problem was never the laws on the books, it’s the thoughts and perceptions in everyday people’s hearts and minds that’s the problem and needs to drastically change. But eventual you realize you’re spinning your wheels when you protest, and people have the fucking audacity to COUNTER-protest the cause? Holy fuck, I’d set shit on fire too, I’d be out of peaceful ideas to get the necessary attention.

He was a vigilante. When vigilantes kill people, they're murderers. he'll spend the majority of his life in prison for what he did.
"But what about the--"
No, it absolutely does not matter what anyone else did, kyle went with that Facebook group of vigilantes looking for a fight, he was just as wrong and should be just as severely punished as anyone would be if it went the other way. If one of the protesters had gotten mad and killed Kyle, they'd be a murderer too and id be saying the same fucking thing about them. So none of this "what about them/but they were wrong too" bullshit. Murder is murder and your going to jail for it.
If the protesters had come to his house and started throwing bricks at HIS windows, then he would acting in self defence and I would've done the same, but that's not what happened. He went looking for the fight. Period.
not at all

Americans are demoralized right now. Some people are suggesting that the goal of the riots, looting, anarchy and violence is to demoralize the American people. CNN and MSNBC either show the violence in a positive light or they intentionally don't report on it. Meanwhile the people who live locally know that the violence hasn't stopped and the destruction continues to intensify. They see the huge disparity between reality and the portrait that the media is portraying.
Anyone who dares to stand up for themselves, their community or their property is attacked by the media and the left. They are labelled as the problem. They are labelled as hate filled racists. Americans are waking up to this and they are fed up. They want this to end and they want to be able to defend themselves and their community
Its a shame that the left doesn't like when people defend themselves and their communities because they are the ones who architected this situation where people are left to decide whether to fight back or become second class citizens ruled by the threat of violence and intimidation.
The 2nd person he killed and the person he shot in the arm are easily both cases of self-defense, and thus morally (and to my knowledge, legally) justified, as the one who was killed was physically assaulting Kyle by stomping on him, and the one who was shot in the arm wasn't shot until he faked a surrender and then attempted to draw his weapon.
However, this all took place after Kyle already killed the 1st person. I don't believe we know exactly what happened during that exchange yet. But assuming Kyle's claims are true--that the 1st person he killed was attempting to enter the property he claimed to be defending, and he had the property owner's permission to defend the property--he was morally in the right, in my personal opinion.
That said, he will be charged with possessing an illegal firearm at the very least because he was underage, and he will also likely be charged for killing the 1st person because, to my knowledge, castle doctrine/stand-your-ground does not allow you to defend property that you yourself don't own with lethal force. But again, I think he is morally in the right because I don't believe in any gun control laws whatsoever, and I think castle doctrine/stand-your-ground should extend to someone who was "hired" to defend someone else's property, and I think verbal request should be enough to constitute a legal contract of employment.
Get that kid a fucking cape! Im sick of the media manipulating America's retarded population. That guy with his biceps blown off gets a photo on CNN where they cropped the glock in his hand out of the picture. Do they mention that he's not allowed to posess firearms? No. They actually did acknowledge that he's a pedophile, but said that his acts of heroism far outstrip any past wrongdoings. What. The. Fuck. The democrats are demonizing the police while worshipping violent and sexual criminals. But are the democrats brainwashed? Nawwww they're so fucking woke that they yell at black people who don't believe that they are opressed and try to convince them that they are. They attack people who say #SaveTheChildren and say that child trafficking is an exaggerated issue but believe that black people are being systematically killed by the government. They say that people who think the China Virus is a political hoax are conspiracy theorists and need to take off their tinfoil hats - meanwhile they ironically moan daily about Russia-gate as if there was ever any evidence to support it while they wear cloth masks alone in their cars to protect themselves from a virus. The left is often accused of having gone insane but the truth is they are just flat out stupid. Copy and pasted from another thread for your enjoyment
I can't see anything wrong with what he did. At all. Even being a minor who was carrying a weapon. Who cares that he was 17? Does that really matter? If he was black and defended himself against a bunch of racists trying to lynch him, would people want him thrown in jail for being a minor with a weapon? Absolutely not. Well, other racists who think he should have just let them kill him would, but I'd applaud him for doing the world a favor. If it had been a 17yo girl being chased down by a rapist, I'd applaud her (but rapists would see it as unfair and wasn't her locked up).
The only reason the folks who are calling for his head have a problem with what he did is because they're on the side of the criminals who were chasing him down. Him being 17 is just a circumstance.
It’s a clear case of self defense, but The BLM and ANTIFA try to spin everything because they are degenerate liars. You just have to beat them into the ground until they stop being assholes… None of them has a spine. They try to mob and kill innocent people 100 to 1 every day. When they have stand tall against an average man they get knocked the fuck out. Imagine if they had to fight some big boys…

Well for one he’s an idiot for being 17 with a gun, but he was justified in self defense.
In the state of which it happened possession of a firearm while underage is only a misdemeanor.
In the videos I’ve seen, he’s in the right. But he could have done better in getting away from the violence to avoid the groupthink crowd, which resulted in the second kill.
But in situations like this it’s best not to approach someone or try to harm someone with a weapon that could drop you in a second. The attackers had it coming.
I mean common sense right? Don’t bring a skateboard to a gun fight...
His name is Kyle Rittenhouse. I agree that he anticipated being assaulted. I agree that he drew the foul by walking down the middle of the street, armed. But if the "peaceful protesters" did not have to attack him, they would not have died. They could have just let him walk through, yelling at him, ridiculing him and insulting him and nothing would have happened. Both of the attackers who were killed had the choice to the last second to not attack and to walk away. This was self defense and there will be much more like it. Many more Antifa/BLM attackers are going to get themselves KYLED. Mark my words. We have been waiting for this day.
I think it says a lot that you can shoot three communists at random and hit a pedophile, a rapist, and a burglar. And all three of them happen to be Jewish, when Jews make up less than 2% of the population.
He has an easy self-defense case to make, but I have some questions in regards to the guy who filmed it all, because the cameraman's movement and tracking technique was more akin to a combat photographer than some random witness, which makes me wonder if someone was set up. However, while he will all but certainly get off on the grossly inflated "murder" charge, there's about a 0% chance he won't be punished on account of the weapon possession and possibly other relatively minor offenses.
I would also have some strong words to say to whoever is in charge of the pseudo-vigilante-EMT group he's part of for letting a 17yr old armed or otherwise work alone. That is atrociously poor leadership and a non-existent demonstration of common sense.
He is in the wrong u shouldn't run around killing people just because and that dosent matter with whoever they are i can't belive im saying this but let the pigs do their job and arrest the people like those who got shot for whatever they did instead of people killing em
Whoops... meant to vote c instead of d...
He could've stayed home and avoided all of this. I think you bring a gun to something like that it's because you want to shoot somebody deep down.
I don't feel bad for the deceased one bit, and I find it amusing that it exposes what kind of people "BLM protesters" are. Bunch of scum pretending to be some sort of revolutionaries.
Defending yourself against a violent angry and armed mob that is trying to murder you while also burning down and destroying peoples homes, businesses and lives is not and will never be wrong.
Here's a joke:
A pedophile, a wife beater, and a coward walk into an AR.
The media looks at them and says "That's disgusting, the man who killed those people is a monster".
Well, he was wrong at least once, one of them survived with only a bullet to the arm.
No, not at all. All charges should be dropped and the man who tried to kill him with his illegally obtained handgun who unfortunately survived should be charged with attempted first degree felony murder
Interesting how three randomly selected "peaceful protesters" all turned out to be criminal scum.
"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." - Those buttheads got what was coming to them. F*ck 'em!
Yes he was wrong because he murdered 2 people with an illegal weapon, but guess what? He’s not getting any form of punishment because he’s White.
He will get off because he should. Charging him was wrong but it keeps the rioters happy.
The fact that you felt the need to "ask" says a lot about you and your intended goal with posting such a rhetorical question.
