    Not true. The Koreans defended their own property while occupying their own property. They did not go to the trouble, the trouble came to them.

    Try a more appropriate analogy. That one was flawed.

    I guess I have to repeat myself. I believe he should or could be charged with negligent Homicide or some other assault stemming from negligence. I think murder is a step too far.

    Guilt or innocence for what crime? What crime do you believe he may have committed?

    Does the law make a distinction between defending your property and defending someone else's?

    The law will determine whether his actions were justified of not. The law will determine whether or not his actions were negligent and created the incident.

    I’d disagree with your assessment because at a minimum he was performing volunteer work when cleaning graffiti off of a school. So I’d say reality is he was. It will all come out at his trial.

    But your argument appears to be that Kyle was negligent because he was defending someone else's property from those bent upon evil. Does the law make the distinction that you are trying to make?

    I think there’s reason to charge him and have his conduct judged by a jury. He had no dog in the fight. He didn’t belong there.

    Actually I think his parents should also be held to answer for their lack of control over their teenage son.

    You already have made a determination.

    I could change my mind if evidence to the contrary comes forth. Based upon the current evidence this appears to be a political trial to mollify the evil mob. So I take it you are abandoning your argument that the reason Kyle is guilty and the Koreans are innocent is because of whose property they were defending.

    Ah! You -are- ignorant of Wisconsin's self-defense law and the facts of the case at hand.
    That explains everything.

    As you speak from abject ignorance of the law and the facts at hand, your "inclination" is simply an expression of said ignorance.

    Some here keep justifying this kid’s actions by continuing to say that he had the “right” to be there. Do these same people think that one can’t commit an unlawful act while exercising a right? Do they believe a right can’t be abused?

    Rights come with responsibility. That isn’t a liberal idea. It’s one of the principles the country was founded upon.

    Their's photographic evidence of him cleaning graffiti earlier in the day. It's also been posted in this thread already. So you're either being dishonest about proven facts or you're willfully ignoring evidence that you dislike and choosing to remain ignorant on the topic.

    And others keep condemning his actions of protecting himself saying he brought it on his self as if that simple possibility negates any right to self defense.

    Rittenhouse was invited by a resident business to help protect the business from rioters. So yes, he had every right as a concerned citizen to accept the invitation. And at the time he was providing medical assistance he was attacked by a group of rioters. So tell me, why are you defending the rioters? It would be very easy to check out the claim by simply asking the business owner which I'm sure Ritterhouse's lawyers did.

    Rittenhouse and a friend armed themselves on Tuesday and made their way to a mechanic shop whose owner had put out a call for protection.

    I conceal and carry ALL! the time right now and wear a MAGA hat. If some Peaceful Rioter wants to assault me for exercising my right to SUPPORT! the American President, they'll pay a mighty serious penalty for their stupidity. Kyle Rittenhouse had EXACTLY the same rights to be out on the streets that evening and exercised his RIGHT! to protect himself against some Rioting Thugs who thought they could attack people with impunity and get away with it. Two of them are pushing up Daisies and the other won't be entering any Arm Wrestling competitions anytime soon. Kyle Rittenhouse should be awarded a Medal for Bravery by Donald Trump after he's re-elected

    There will never be anything as funny as a pedo yelling "shoot me n***a" while winding up to throw a molotov at someone and getting a round to the dome. I would pay-per-view that every day, as well as the reaction from his girlfriend (who is more worried about him rioting than raping 5 boys).

    If you were being chased by an ugly mob and one of them fired a gun perhaps you might understand.

    I wouldn’t have needlessly inserted myself into a violent situation which was none of my business.

    It's already been proven that Kyle was helping clean grafitti and giving first aid to those who needed it. He wasn't involved in a violent situation until they became violent with him.

    Perhaps he's a better man than you; cleaning schools, administering first-aid, protecting businesses.

    By definition, the exercise of a right is not, and cannot be, an unlawful act - unless said laws violate the protections of the right afforded to it by the state/federal constitution.
    You cannot show this to be the case here.
