    As clearly stated, and quoted...I PERSONALLY think the kid was justified in shooting those people. And followed that statement with....that's my opinion. Never once did I say the kid was innocent of anything. I don't make the determination of whether someone is innocent or not, the courts do. I said hopefully the murder stuff is dropped. I never stated in a factual sense that the murder stuff would be dropped or that the kid was innocent of murder or manslaughter or anything else.

    The only part of that post that I stated anything as a fact was the act of him openly carrying an AR-15 being illegal. That is a fact based on the law as written.

    I believe that it will be charged as Murder.

    With lesser included charges and (most likely, at some point) the offer of a plea bargain

    Exactly.

    There are a lot of questions left to be answered as this case winds it's way through the system.

    True.

    That FACT is beyond dispute.

    Is anyone claiming that Kyle knew this guy was a Pedo?

    Incorrect, I am right and no matter how much caps you use, the reality is he is absolutely allowed to carry in that war zone in order to protect himself.

    No matter how much that bothers you, you are wrong.

    Deal with it.

    Nope, I’m simply pointing out the truth of the matter regardless of how people choose to “feel” about it.

    Truth must be based in an objective reality. That reality would include the law, which so far indicates you're wrong. If anything, you're making a feelings based claim.

    No but I think this is one of those cases where there general public will likely give less of a damn about the death of this guy now though.

    I could care less when a Pedo, or a (real) Communist, or an adult Russian dies just make it a legal death.

    Incorrect, I am making claims based on the objective truth. Your refusal to do the research is not my fault.

    Um right, the one guy that survived has outright admitted that he was attempting to murder the kid. He created the tweet shown below. When you admit that your intent was to kill the shooter, it makes it real damn hard to argue against self-defense.... I would argue that it makes it impossible.

    Rittenhouse's lawyer is going to have a ball tearing that guy apart on the stand if dares to try and testify against Kyle.

    Yes but it also gives ammunition to the prosecution in a case like this so it is a valid point to bring up.

    One of those sticky situations in the courtroom to where "You killed two people while doing something that was definitely illegal. If you weren't doing the illegal thing in the first place then you would not have been in the situation to where you needed to defend yourself with your illegally brandished weapon and kill two people and wound a third".

    The kid might be screwed honestly. I hope not but it basically boils down to the fact that he was illegally carrying a weapon in a situation that required himself to defend himself and shoot 3 people. And he wasn't even from that town. It would be one thing if this happened in his home town and he was at his family business or at home or something and the rioters showed up. But from what it sounds like he chose to take an AR-15 that he is not legally allowed to carry across state lines into a neighboring city to defending something against the rioters there.

    I'm no lawyer by any means but I feel like that is going to be a hard sell unless there was some justifiable legitimate reason why he decided to do that as in he had family there he was trying to help or something.

    You have been PROVEN WRONG.In Multiple Threads (by multiple members).

    Everybody Knows That (and Everybody sees that).

    Obviously, it is futile (on my part) to engage you further.

    I can't "debate" someone claiming that statements comparable to "Up is Down", "Night is Day", and "Black is White" constitute "objective reality".

    Feel free to take that last word.

    Everyone Knows that you have been Proven WRONG.

    Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old militia member who has been arrested and is facing a homicide charge in the matter, was not old enough to legally carry the assault-style rifle he had, according to statutes, which say anyone under 18 who "goes armed" with any deadly weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor

    Carry on and have a nice day. :handshake:

    I see that your post was esoteric and philosophical but you believe it was factual. Ok we can leave that neither you nor I will change each other's mind. Your pst was neither right nor wrong in my opinion. Fact based?

    Oh I thought there had been some new development. Lets see what the police find as they investigate their fellow domestic terrorists

    Incorrect, I have not once been proven wrong.

    The objectively reality is this kid is innocent, and was totally and inarguably allowed to have the gun in that war zone and to defend himself against these BLM and antifa terrorists.

    He did a great job showing restraint but used deadly force exactly when he needed to. The 2 who are dead, are dead because of their own terrorist acts.

    It is not my job to prove this to you, as it is on everyone to do their own research. I will not do it for you.

    If someone was shooting at me my intent would be to kill them also.
