I'm elated by the verdict. Kyle behaved like a model citizen. If only more people were willing to selflessly help others.
He went there to help, not harm. He was in legal possession of a firearm as a precaution, similar to why many people carry concealed firearms. He helped to remove graffiti early that day. At night, he went to the protestors and offered medical assistance to anyone who needed it. When a maniac started a dumpster fire with the intention of pushing it into a gas station, Kyle put it out. And that's what precipitated the violence against him.
Did he start firing into the crowd? No. Did he have any malevolence in his heart? No. He only fired when confronted by an immanent threat to his life. And even then, he did so with remarkable restraint. What would a cop have done in a similar situation?
The Kenosha city leadership encouraged and abetted the destruction of their own town. It's not surprising that they tried to crucify Kyle for defending himself against malevolent terrorists when he had no other choice. In the videos, it was clear that he made every attempt to flee and avoid violence.
Considering the behavior of the prosecution, I hope the city is forced to pay Kyle's legal fees. I am also looking forward to the upcoming defamation lawsuits against Fascibuch and mainstream media outlets. I think Biden should be sued, as well.
I'm not only relieved for Kyle, but a victory by the prosecution in this case would have been a blow to the right to self defense.
In our Bill of Rights, "The People" are considered to be the fall-back militia. If law enforcement fails, as was the case in Kenosha, The People have the legal right and duty to defend human life and property against attack by criminals. It's up to the courts to determine if the defensive measures are justified. In the Rittenhouse case, justice was served.
What's odd is that fact that the guy who pulled an illegal firearm and pointed it at Kyle hasn't been charged. That illustrates the obvious bias of the city leadership and prosecution.
It’s a good outcome. He’s a good kid that was acting in good faith. He could have been hung on a technically over age of open carry, but likely wouldn’t have served anymore jail time anyway if that had occurred. He was already maliciously prosecuted and locked up for two months with outrageous bail because he’s a White male. Max time he could have served for his infraction was 1 year, and the judge would have likely knocked that down to probation at sentencing due to time served and the circumstances of the case. Him walking away with a clean record ensure his life will not be negatively impacted from a legal standpoint due to the utter incompetence of Wisconsin government. It also draws a firm line in the sand ensuring the right to self defense and the right to bear arms as set out in the constitution so that it is not easily eroded by the communist tyrants that are bringing war on our country. It’s one more hill taken. Sadly Kyle will have to deal with PTSD from hear on out. He had to stand up for what was right, when his elected leaders would not... I hope he takes Gaetz up on his offer. He'd be welcome here in Florida.
Well, it was clear self-defenese. However I find he brought himself in this self-defense situation that were avoidable for someone with more mature mind. There were other armed guys who defended businesses, somehow they avoided any confrontation with those guys who sought for troubles. He appeared as the weakest one and Rossenbaum picked him as easy victim. I guess if on Rittenhouse place stood a 2m armed man with killer glimpse, Rossebaum wouldn't attack him and this situation wouldn't escalate.
Now, if Rittenhouse lawyers are smart, they will sue all media outlets who slandered Rittenhouse before the verdict was spoken. I guess there are millions to make
Absolutely elated that he was found NOT GULITY! All he did was defend himself against a group of thugs burning stores and buildings, burning car lots and stealing from stores.
In my book not enough were killed!
Lastly anyone so stupid as to lunge at another person holding a loaded gun is looking to get shot!

Good that stuff worked out... was a little anxious after Chauvin.
And what's bad is that it was even in question to begin with... just goes to show half our country is scum, on the side of the three vile felons and rioters rather than a 17 year old who defended himself.
I haven't monitored the case, since the shutdown and looting of Kenosha took from me what was one of few psychological pressure valves; I'm too damn pissed at everyone involved to evaluate the situation fairly, and I know it.
However, what seems uncontested is that, at age 17, he took a gun and left, unescorted, from his house in Illinois. This means that either the court thinks he TELEPORTED to the Wisconsin border, or that he went there specifically to HUNT rioters. Unquestionably a far more minor detail than the whole "shooting people" part, but ignoring that is setting a dangerous precedent.
For your consideration
I, in his shoes in the same moment, would've likely done the same thing. Lord knows I've come real close a few times.
I rather 100 go free, than potentially have 1 innocent be considered guilty.
On the murder charges, fair enough if the jury believe it was self-defence - but he is far from an innocent victim here. I think he was a dumb kid who messed up, and I don't think he's a threat to re-offend. However, letting him get off without any kind of punishment (in fact, I'm sure he'll profit considerably through compensation and media appearances, etc) sends out completely the wrong message, actively encouraging vigilantism.
Only the beginning. The creeps who launched a flaming dumpster at the gas pumps of the station his grandparents manage? Those guys should get the death penalty! Bombing gas stations, especially to influence an election, is the epitome of domestic terrorism! Especially when it's committed by unjustifiably released convicts at behest of a mayor and governor who want to influence an election in their own party's favor! That's the classic definition of terrorism! Evers needs to hang!
A person doesn't go to a protest with an AR-15 unless he is expecting trouble. So he should have just stayed home. I hear the guys he shot were far from being outstanding citizens and were probably there to cause trouble. So you have 6 of one or a half dozen of another. Everyone should have stayed home in my opinion.
My whole thing with this idiotic kid is why the heck do you travel over state lines with a weapon that, mind you isn’t even his, and go out trying to into a riot “defending businesses.” This kid who wasn’t even near the building he said he was protecting waving around a weapon at people like a lunatic expects people not to react to him. Plus what parent lets a minor travel over state boarder to defend a riot? That endangering a child’s life. He should have been charged, him and his mother.
He'll be back in court before long.
That fucker has got "perp" written all over him. He wants to train as a "nurse" apparently. (Despite lying about being a EMT) He'll probably go onto kill kids or geriatrics in hospitals and claim this event was what "caused" it.
Well? He IS innocent!! Why should someone be jailed over self-defense?
Not even "recklessly endangering safety". I think all the people crowing about it today would have had a different opinion if the people surrounded by nutcases with tiki torches at Charlottesville had opened fire when they were genuinely afraid for their lives.
I'm moderately pleased with the result, given the facts.
I DID think, though, that either there was going to be a hung jury, or that the jury would cite him for a minor charge of some kind and give him some time in the clink to think.
Based on Wisconsin state law he is not guilty apparently. The things I'm upset about regarding Rittenhouse is for things he wasn't on trial for. I also have an issue with some of those state laws in Wisconsin regarding killing someone in self defense. To be fair those things are a separate argument and not your question.
Relieved. The opposite would have made me feel disgusted of the US more than I already am.
Guilty: he shot and killed two unarmed people. It wasn’t self defense. When he was walking down the street, he didn’t seem like he was scared or worried someone would hurt him. The man that survived the shooting should be recognized as a hero because if I remember correctly he was with media and was unarmed
I said over the TV Happy Thanksgiving Kyle and Merry Christmas. Kid looked scared crapless, hope everything goes well. Now we have to watch these looney tune rioters.
Glad to hear it. He was there to offer aid to anyone hurt, deter rioters, was threatened and attacked on multiple accounts, and militias or militia-like groups are entirely reasonable under those circumstances.
As someone who constantly dwells on self-defense and how our society discourages it in many respects, it was amazing that this happened.
I think its bs why tf would a 17 go a whole city away with a rifle to kill people. He said a person had a gun sure he had the right to shoot for his safety but what about the unarmed people he shoot and or killed? You can't truly call it self defense of they're are not using any deadly weapons. The fake cry was extremely bad
I’m ecstatic. Huge win for defending oneself. This verdict came from jurors in a leftist state and even they saw the truth
