    No. The mob intimidated him, as they intended.

    He's not a big tough guy. He's a young man who exercised poor judgment but was acquitted. The campus mob found courage in their numbers to intimidate a young man alone.

    XM214 Microgun is handheld. Its somewhat bulky to carry, but it can be carried on person.

    I believe the poster was referring to the rate of fire when talking about AR15. These microguns can have 500 round belts.

    The Las Vegas shooter fired over 1000 rounds, although I think he had multiple rifles, so the overheating would not have been an issue.

    There is also XM556 Microgun: "The XM556 is 5.56mm caliber, externally-powered Gatling-type machine gun capable of an extremely high cyclic rate, of 4000 to 8000 rounds per minute."
    https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/Empty_Shell_XM556

    You can put that on your X-Mas wish list to Santa.

    Gosh... they used their intimidation to bully him. I thought progressive folks were against bullying.... Maybe Kyle should claim he's transgender or something... What a hoot that would be.

    So the weak, mewling young man who put himself out there and took a question ran off the stage.

    He doesn't need to be treated like the holy cow. He put himself (maybe foolishly) on a stage in front of a crowd and apparently he was totally unprepared to field the questions. The topic was "The second amendment and the lies of Black Lives Matter”, so the topic alone (suggesting BLM lies) invites a challenge, and he folded. It is what it is.

    Isn't that the standard y'all used to defend Biden because it wasn't ok to criticize someone who "stuttered"... and that was bullying? Y'all need to get on the same page at some point.

    So, are you suggesting that BLM lying isn't true?

    Many of the people who participated in lynchings also believed they were dealing with an active criminal.

    He wasn’t attending a protest, he was helping the community protect property from the mobs while protecting himself. They were trying to KILL him. You don’t try to hit someone in the head with a skateboard unless you’re trying to severely hurt injure or kill someone.

    You’re still sort of justifying what these people did. They were NOT there for a good reason. They were trying to destroy the place. They weren’t protestors:) Kyle as naive as he was was trying to help his community. Those guys were scumbags.

    It was to me. To me, there were two parts to it. The first before KR shot anyone and he was moving around parking lots in the crowd. This is where the first person was shot. My personal belief is that there was an unrelated gunshot just prior to KR entering a parking lot and he got spooked and fired, killing the first person. Then other protesters thought KR was an active shooter and persued him, which led to them being shot. There was some video of the first one, but it was dark and hard to decipher. It was one of those close calls either way. I thought he committed negligent homicide, but that is only my opinion. He was defending himself at the end, the most watched video, and I also can see why the prosecution couldn't get a conviction.
    As to the OP, I think it's a little disgusting that he is trying to cash in on the event by being a paid spokesman (for what?) because he is ill equipped to be a speaker for any cause other than don't do stupid $@#%.

    Who had an illegal weapon, and had no business being there, acting some like vigilante. The sheriff made it clear that he does not relish any support from citizen vigilantes.

    that is not supported by the facts. He was in fear of imminent bodily harm and justifiably shot the first of three.

    Rosenbaum was one of the ringleaders of the riots. He was on video earlier in the day, being extremely aggressive and angry, saying he wasn't afraid to die. He was a mentally ill child molester who had just been released from being committed to a mental health institution. He started a fire, and some of the people Rittenhouse was with asked him to take a fire extinguisher and put out the fire. He said he was afraid and asked for someone to go with him. They told him someone was already there or would meet him there, but they needed him to bring the fire extinguisher. So he left, but he was alone. He put out the fire, and Rosenbaum became enraged that Rittenhouse put out his fire and attacked. Rittenhouse retreated. He was running through a car lot and ended up hitting somewhat of a dead-end.

    He turned around and Rosenbaum had closed the distance. There was an eyewitness standing right next to Rosenbaum when he was shot. And he was not aligned with Rittenhouse's politics. He testified that Rosenbaum was trying to take Rittenhouse's firearm from him in the attack. The medical examiner report showed that there were burns on Rosenbaum's fingers, indicating his hand was effectively already on the barrel, and the trajectory of the shot showed he was leaning forward in an aggressive stance. Rittenhouse was unquestionably legally allowed to defend himself in that situation.
