    People are just trying to portray him as a victim, of......unfair booing, or questions or whatever. God knows why he agreed to put himself in that situation, but he did, and maybe learned a lesson. Even today he is still very young, and have no experience in handling situations like that, so he bolted. The organizers were RW, so maybe he assumed it was a friendly crowd, but he was wrong. Big deal. In the future he should be better prepared, or just turn down the invitations.

    I see people are trying to re-kindle the discussion about the events in 2020 Kenosha, but that topic pretty much defines the phrase "beating a dead horse"

    are you pretending that you didn't have negative thoughts about Rittenhouse before this video surfaced?

    It wasn't all on tape, the first person he shot was very unclear on exactly what happened, the other people were chasing what they believed was an active shooter.
    This whole incident was a lot muddier than most realize.

    If it was muddy, then it might explain why the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond any reasonable doubt.

    I will answer my own question

    btw you cannot fire 700 rounds in a minute with ANY handheld firearm-not even a fully automatic one

    I get that you aren't interested in keeping the narrative that citizens can defend themselves from the woke mobs. It clearly erodes the effectiveness of sending said violent mobs out there to terrorize folks. Perhaps these conversations will preclude future violent mobs from believing that they can kill folks with impunity.

    He's a young man who exercised poor judgment but was properly found not guilty in a fair trial.
    The campus mob who silenced him were no different in psychology from the racists who used to lynch Black men.

    Tell us you've never seen a firearm in real life without saying you've never seen a firearm in real life... Someone is watching too many movies...

    Yes. The "question" was incitement in disguise.

    LOL, those who make claims like an AR 15 can fire 700 rounds in a minute (which would require over 25 or so 30 round magazines or SEVEN beta C drum rigs), is obviously someone who has no clue about firearms or heat build up

    is that something that a civilian can carry let alone own? and you know damn well that an AR 15 cannot fire 700 rounds in a minute nor can a normal M16 rifle

    did you miss my part about HAND HELD?

    Even if he had an unlimited drum and magical physics, there's no way he could physically pull the trigger 12 times per second.

    true. I held the record for pin shooting at one point and I wasn't even half that fast

    they heard the shots, they saw a man running with an AR, they in their minds connected the dots, and tried to play wannabe hero, this is why most don't try to be heroes - and also why most do not carry ar-15's to a protest

    Incite in disguise.

    That seems wholly invented to cover for the stupidity and cowardice of Kyle Rittenhouse.

    It's easy to pick on an individual when you have a mob at your back. It's also easy to be an enemy of open discussion when that mob shares your views.
