    Well, the college students who heckled him obviously disagree with your assessment, as do I.

    You go ahead and indulge in hero worship, but please stop attacking those of us who see Rittenhouse as a whiny little sissy.

    If that were true, that would make Rittenhouse even more of an idiot.

    The one linked earlier in this thread by @Soupnazi shows a crowd of about 15 or so people abruptly running away from Rittenhouse, not towards him.

    It matters not. The dumb little **** should not have been there, armed with that weapon. It was stupid, people are dead because of it, and he got away with it. He should be keeping his effing head down, not rubbing noses in it. Stupid.

    NO ONE should have been there. At least Kyle was trying to do good and help the community. He sort of did. People are dead? You know who the people are who are dead right? You want to vouch for them? True human filth. You understand that right?

    There are many other videos

    Those people are dead because of their OWN actions not because of him

    They attacked and tried to kill him

    No they do not

    They were asking about Charlie Kirk not the shooting

    It is nhot a matter of agreement either you recosnize facts or you lie

    No one called him a hero except you

    Which does not negate his right to self defense

    So you admit that you could seriously harm someone even kill them using a skateboard as a club.................thank you. Stop trying to marginalize it in the future.

    Yes. Opposition to free speech is more common among progressives. The correct response would have been not to attend the speech.

    So leave them alone until they kill someone ?

    So that begs the question: Why are you carrying a gun if all your going to do is wait until others are killed ?

    There are many videos of the events. While he was running to safety a mob was chasing him firing their guns, yelling threats, and hitting him. Multiple individuals attacked him. If you don't know what happened there's no reason to be "correcting" people with falsehoods. Additionally, you made a series of false statements about that night well before any video was posted.

    Does that go for the people who rioted outside the White House injuring over 60 law enforcement as they tried to breech the perimeter to enter it? Does that include the rioters who burned down, while trying to entrap the police, in the police station and federal buildings in Minneapolis during those BLM riots and insurrection? They are not our enemies but fellow Americans?

    The looting smashing and burning were RAMPANT the crowds doing it were HUGE and the burning down of the police station and federal offices even purposely trying to entrap those inside was part of their PROTEST. They were not fringe there nor in any of the many others cities in which BLM and Antifa engaged in their violence and insurrection.

    The specific event that transpired that caused the protest and riots was around the Jacob Blake. He alleged raped a woman and then broke into her home with a large knife, had an altercation with her, grabbed her car keys, and fled. He ignored police commands and tried to get in her car and drive away while her child was still in the backseat. While reaching into the car, still holding the knife police told him a million times to drop. They had previously tasered him multiple times to try to use non-lethal force, but they had no effect. They were forced to shoot in order to protect the child in the car and themselves from anything dangerous he was reaching in the car for. He survived.

    That is why they went out to burn, loot, and cause mayhem.

    That would have been illegal for Rittenhouse to do and is a false choice.

    Wasn't the guy asking the question exercising his freedom of speech?

    Lot of people like to talk about freedom of speech, but they don't seem to know what it means, although its quite simple.

    Congress shall make no law respecting freedom of speech.

    Congress shall make no law! You are free to ask questions during "questions and answers" event like the one in question. As a matter of fact, that's the whole idea. If you burst into tears and claim your freedom of speech was violated because you didn't have the answer, it only makes you look like a loser.

    Yes but with bad manners. He used his speech to prevent the speech of another. He should have stayed home. He deserves criticism for it, not legal consequences.

    Actually its the opposite. When you ask questions, you are encouraging the other party to speak.

    You didn't know? KR was not able to answer, so he ran. Why are you trying to paint him as some kind of victim?

    Is it against the law to engage in a activity that prevents someone else from exercising their constitutional rights?

    If you go to a concert can you grab a microphone and start singing and if you are not allowed claim that YOUR free speech was denied?

    If you go to a lecture does the 1st Amendment say you can stand up and start talking and even screaming at the person who was hire to give the lecture and for whom people paid tickets to hear? If the security stops you can you claim YOUR rights were violated?

    Can you walk into a courtroom and just start talking claim the 1st Amendment?

    Rittenhouse gave the Q&A in fact he says an extended one because the leftist their prevented him from his 1st Amendment right to give his talk. And even in the Q&A the leftist tried to shout it down.

    Are you asserting the leftist that were there were within their constitutional rights to try and shout down Rittenhouse and prevent the talk and the Q&A and even engage in the threatening behaviour they were engaged?
