He's 17 years old and running around like some kind of vigilante. Judge jury and executioner - self righteously so. Is that the really the kind of innocence you're defending in America?
This is what people have been saying about US gun culture from the start. If you hand out guns like they're sweets (or candy for Americans) you just end up raising the stakes and having idiots deciding life and death on a whim. If the idiotic population in the US didn't have a gun, there would be disagreements, fights, people would end up beat up, potentially in hospital. But they wouldn't be dead at the end of it, for the most part. And now those people will never come back. And now those families have been devestated.
Was he defending himself? Sure, probably. TBH, they're all as bad as each other. He's a fucking idiot for being there in the first place.
In US Property and self righteous black and white ideology > Human life.
Seriously, fuck the USA and all that is happening there. How fucking tragic that we have to see these scenes play out and how little regard is there for human life.
Shame on you all for defending the kind of sickness that is happening all across the news.
And shame on you for making light of this, question asker.
Do they differentiate between murder and manslaughter? Or like some lesser charge? I think the kid is an absolute cunt for inserting himself into the situation, he clearly just wanted to go out there and find an excuse to go buckwild, so I donât think that should be encouraged or have a precedent set for that to go unpunished. And a 17 year old definitely shouldnât have an assault rifle. But at the same time, after you move past how weâve arrived at the situation, the situation then takes place, and if the other people involved had a pistol and skateboard and a Molotov cocktail, I mean... what are you going to do? Everybody involved is responsible for putting themselves in that situation, and I donât feel like any of them are good or sane people from the sound of it. So itâs all a wash to me. If he was the one who ended up killed, Iâd be like âand thatâs what happens when you show up to a riot with gunâ, so thatâs my answer for the other guys that got bucked. I just wish people knuckled up and went one on one, and didnât fuck with all the weaponry. Keep it low stakes while still getting your aggression out.
He will be acquitted on all charges. Except maybe the minor in possession of a weapon which he'll get a plea deal on as a minor and it will be wiped off his record the day he walks out of court.
He was justified in all 3 shootings.
Not if he was being attacked and forced to defend himself

Here's how I see it:
He never should have been in Kenosha and he never should have been in possession of a firearm while there. He was underage and regardless of his intentions of protecting businesses/vigilantism, he was breaking the law by being there with a rifle and underage. A class A misdemeanor. What is evidenced is that he was attacked on multiple occasions and acted in self defense. The homicide charges will not stick and the rule of "Felony Murder" does not apply.
He will only be charged with a Class A misdemeanor at the most.
Seeing as how rioters, arsonists, assaulters and vandals are not even being booked and before being let free, this will be an interesting case to follow.
His shooting was INCREDIBLE. He was surrounded by a whole crowd of people rushing at him and he ONLY shot the ones who actually attacked him, he actually got knocked over onto his back and had a guy tangled up with him, CLEARED A JAM from that position, and sat up to shoot the final attacker right in the arm.
I'll tell you what else, the news media isn't reporting on this but it's a fact, just make of it what you will: he shot the pedophile in the dick. He shot the wifebeater and rapist in the heart. And he shot the burglar in the arm.
It's like Jesus really was guiding his bullets. Crazy shit, man. "Be sure your sin will find you out."
Those who started arsons should get the death penalty, for sedition and insurrection. Kyle should be allowed to go home, and lead a normal life. Get adults to do their jobs, and arrest the mayors / governors / what-have-you that are issuing stand down orders! Charge them with sedition, convict, and execute immediately!
If it weren't for Evers trying to virtue signal over the exosome, then there wouldn't be a million pedophiles running loose and attacking kids at riots. Wisconsin's governor needs to be held accountable.
The Left has successfully followed the "How to" hand book of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister. We, as a country, have been seeing the results of their efforts for the past 4 to 6 years. The Left have instilled a cult like loyalty in their followers. Any criticism of their agenda is obviously a false and must be silenced as quickly as possible.
Protesters would NEVER attack anyone. When some are killed it was obviously murder, despite whatever witnesses, video, and forensics may reveal.
To those of us indoctrinated, we see businesses burning and people getting attacked. When that happens next is only natural. People start to resist by protect their businesses and their lives.
In the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, he was attacked and used his weapon to defend his life. He will very likely will be "No Billed" by a Grand Jury.
Same issues as with the George Floyd video.
1. Whole video wasn't shown up front
2. Many are rushing to conclusions
I need to see the whole video.
Were they bothering him?
Were they on his property?
Or was he just trying to play vigilante? (which he should not be doing because it isn't his job)
This could have been prevented. People are increasingly paranoid that any protest will lead to a riot and there has been property damaged and at risk of damage. That being said, I can only say he is fully justified if in fact the property he was on was in fact in danger. Also, he likely isn't even the direct property owner, so if anything, his parents should have handled it, not him.
They chased him, threatenend jim, threw bottles and bricks at him, he just ran away. Then after someone in the crowd fired a shot, he had to fear for his life and had every right to defend himself.
Those rioters grew up in a world, where they never had to experience any consequences for their actions. I assume, they were really surprised, that threatening the life of an armed person could end bad for them.
Yes. Regardless of what unfolded, he was looking for a confrontation. He brought a gun he knew he wasn't supposed to have to a crowd of people who, for good reason, are upset and frankly afraid of white people with guns, and was hoping for them to give him a reason to shoot them. Even if he didn't shoot first, even if he didn't attack, he was looking for a reason to shoot them, which is actually legally a good enough reason to be convicted of murder.
Nope. Self defense. He was about to be attacked and being attacked when he shot. If he was there to kill someone he would have shot the person who pepper sprayed him early in the night and after that incident, on film he specially said he didnât fight back because their attack couldnât have been lethal.
Nope. Everything he did was in self defense. I saw the entire video. I also donated to his defense fund.
If anything, he could be charged with illegal possession of a firearm.
He should be charged, and a jury can decide whether he's guilty. There might be a self-defence justification for the shootings, but I see no reason why he should not get the maximum possible sentence for illegal possession of a firearm. If he hadn't been carrying it, those two people wouldn't have died.
He was being chased by a mob. If he didn't shot they would of taken his AR from him and used it on him. This was self defense, he was in fear for his life. He even rendered aid after and when he that he needs medical he ran to the police to turn himself in and have medical called so they could respond.

Considering this is the same D. A. that is still working to sentence a 15 year old girl to prison for killing her pimp in self defense, yes he absolutely should go to prison forever.
From what I saw he defended himself the real question. Is where the hell was his back up and why the hell did someone let their 17 year old son go out in the middle of that shit
Nope. Justifiable homicide to defend oneself is just that - justifiable.
what a fucking crazy video
looks like real life GTA V
No he should not. But if he doesn't they're going to burn down some cities yelling For Justice it's almost mob rule at this point.
No.
Free free to charge him for carrying a gun and running across statelines but not murder. Completely self-defence.
Better kill than be killed. Right?
In any case, that's self defense and how it's supposed to be dealt with.
It's a tough time right now... There are a lot of tough calls the police has to make... But everyone should be treated fairly in the process. As fair as possible
Give him the keys to the city. A brave courageous young man, took out three communists, imagine what would happen if we let out the thoroughbreds.
