Kyle Rittenhouse, out on bail, flashed white power signs at a bar, prosecutors say

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1254250

The United States is about to fall due to this massive IQ drop, just like it was observed with Roman Empire, and when it happens humanity will enter Medieval Period 2.0.

If displaying a universal OK sign with your hand in a bar can lead to racism charges then we are all totally screwed. This world is going to hell.

 

MSM is desperate!

 

Well speaking of IQ drops, Rittenhouse shouldn't be out in bars while awaiting trial for capital crimes. I know one lawyer dropped him, and if he has another, I doubt he would condone his behavior.

 

We are already totally screwed when celebrities and regular alt-right contribute money to temporarily let this idiot punk out.

But Kyle the Klown might as well enjoy his freedom while he has it.... you don't get beer in prison..... (I don't think)

I wonder if his mommy will go with him when she pays to get him laid too?

 

Good grief this kid defended himself against an attacker with a pistol. I understand not agreeing with him and that you feel he should have stood back and let the wacko lefty mobs burn the city. I don't understand why any American wants another American to give up his basic rights, are you so arrogant that you believe only your political enemies have to give up their Rights?

 

Gosh.... and you supported the MFF... LOL

 

Sure.. of course, who didn't support the MFF?? It was in all the papers and he/she/it deserved all the support I could give .. them

???????

 

Looks like he is showing his true colors. But, but, he just wanted to help cops to protect property.... Out of the goodness of his heart... Right. I am sure the jury members are taking notice.

 

The “kid” purposely crossed state lines to enflame an already bad situation. I fully support self defense but it is no longer self defense when 1) you are not defending yourself or your property or 2) you purposely place yourself into a position so that you can injure or kill others and 3) breaking laws in order to do the above.

Such a strange set of “rights” some believe we have. If this was an AntiFa member walking into a crowd of trumpets waving a firearm around until they respond just to kill them I would wager your response would be different.

 

He was defending himself from people who seemed intent on harming him. Every person he shot was either in the very act of attacking him or positioning themselves to attack him.

 

"positioning themselves to attack him"?

This has got to be the lamest excuse for murder yet!

 

As in, charging at him or in the act of bringing a firearm to bear. I'm confident he'll be acquitted, just like any cop would have been had they shot someone charging at them, or someone bringing a firearm around to point it at them.

 

Speaking of showing their true colors, what should be done about her?

 

I can agree with this however he purposefully places himself in the position to provoke these attacks. Had he been protecting his store, property or home you could make the case of self defense even if he inserted himself but that isn’t the case.

 

Was she around members of a white supremacy group when she did this? Consuming alcohol while under age after making bail.

The sign itself isn’t racial — it is also meant to signal one is “ok” during scuba diving — but intent is relevant and this could absolutely be used to show that intent to the jury.

 

First off, merely being present in a public location isn't "provocation". It doesn't remotely justify the attacks on him, and Kyle doesn't forfeit his right to self defense once he leaves his home state. I think you'll find, much like George Zimmerman, plenty of people will opine that what he did was foolish (traveling to Kenosha / getting out of his truck), but that ultimately his shootings were justified self defense.

 

Intent is irrelevant for the most common of gestures.

COnsumiung alcohol underage does not make an OK sign racist. Being in the general same area as white supremacists does not make it aq racist gesture. If they want to make an issue of his driking under age on bail they will brobably succeed. If they try this long debunked HORSESHIT about a white power sign they will appear desperate weak and stupid

 

Why not? What other legal stuff should he not do? Is there a list somewhere of legal stuff people can't do?

 

What white supremacy group was he around? The Proud Boys certainly don't qualify. Ocasio-Cortez should be charged with a hate crime for that.

 

Not only is making the OK a big nothing, but so what if it is a race related symbol? Is making the OK sign somehow different than painting blm on buildings? Or how about Geriatric Joe's racist nominee who thinks blacks are superior? Just because this guy can't hang out with certain people does not prevent him from having a life.

 

"The sign itself isn't radical"

Glad you agree that this OK nonsense is just that, nonsense.

 

I heard walking or breathing while white, is racist too? Democrat leaders have stated countless times jogging while black gets you killed by random white guys. And entertainers and athletes claim sleeping while black gets you killed too =)

 

That defense might fly when in your own gated community. What this little murderer did was very much much more akin to picking a fight with someone and then shooting them when they try to defend themself. (Which is what happened in Florida, but the major plaintiff there was dead so it couldn't be proven, at least by the incompetent and racist prosecutor)

He drove several hundred miles to "defend" property that wasn't his and where he didn't know the actual owner. He saw a chance to kill some blacks and took it. Fry the little ****.

 

Seriously, you can't understand why a person on trial for capital crimes shouldn't be out in bars. This deliberate naivety is a waste of time and bandwidth !!!

 

Well, it would be racist if he drank milk, did math, played chess, took a high school exit exam, watched Mary Poppins or listened to Kate Smith, just ask any lefty on this board.
