    As I said too many times now, people who attack others who are armed are idiots.

    Rittenhouse is wearing a funny looking EMT uniform !!!!

    Traveling out of state, armed and self deputizing himself is the farthest thing from honest civic duty. I'd like to see how you would treat armed strangers in your neighborhood !!!!!

    So with all due respect. Doesn't Kyle shoulder a lot of the responsibility for taking the weapon to the protest. At a minimum he is guilty of incitement in the crime. Yes, there is video of them chasing him, but what happened before that, that caused them to chase him ? Did Kyle point the weapon at them, did he use verbal threats ? There is a lot that is unknown at this point, but the police, and the prosecutor believes that their is evidence to warrant the First Degree Intentional Homicide. The carries a heavy burdon of proof on the prosecutor.

    Something happened before the video starts that warranted the prosecutor to file that way.

    Accept that isn-t what happened. It's what you're asserting. You're speaking on his behalf and accusing him of guilt and murder.

    Indeed- and as such, there's no reason for you to appear on my screen.

    How strange, I don't see Kyle or the gentleman next to him throwing molotovs, destroying property, slamming anyone's head with a skateboard, or being an ***. He's also not a thief or pedo.

    Not any more than anyone else who legally carries a firearm for self-defense.
    Not under WI law.
    Irrelevant - WI is a 'duty to retreat' state, and so no matter what someone does, you have no right to chase him down and inflict bodily harm.
    If I punch you and run away, only for you to subsequently chase me down and punch me, you are guilty of assault.
    Neither the prosecutor nor the police did any investigation on this other than watch whatever videos the media happen to be playing -- no witnesses were questions, etc. They charged him to prevent further violence in Kenosha, and nothing more.
    Specifically, they have to prove Rittenhouse did NOT act in self-defense
    Regardless of what happened before Rittenhouse was chased and assaulted, the people who chased him had no right to do so.= - and my chasing him they allow Rittenhouse to use force in self-defense.

    No I am not !!!!!

    Like I said 100 times, try going into an unknown neighborhood, armed, see how you get treated. Saying Rittenhouse was doing nothing wrong is beyond the most idiotic of excuses !!!!!

    What he did, carry the weapon, is not wrong or illegal. But destroying property and people IS both wrong and illegal.

    Yes, you are. As long as you're putting forth your own assertions for Kyle and acting like they're facts then you are going to get called out on for accusing him of murder and for saying he was looking for trouble. The truth is you want a double standard when it comes to the things you say. You want to say what you want about Kyle regardlesd of the facts but you get upset when people call you put. Good luck with that.

    So he deserved what happened because of the clothes he was wearing?

    Yeah, he registered as a Democrat.

    What happened is clear and is documented.

    In every instance where he shot someone, he was trying to run away.

    Notice how they have no problem with the convicted felons who got shot burning down the city and carrying guns.

    And if the guy holding the hand gun put the gun on the ground he most likely would not have been shot. Instead he kept it in his hand when he raised them. According to you the guy with the hand gun had every right to be there, but not the guy with the rifle. Sounds like hypocrisy on your part.

    Sounds like you haven't read anything I posted with clarity !!!!

    Was the man with the hand gun from the neighborhood, how many times do I need to make that point.

    Go ahead and ignore me. But if you can spout your own assertions as if they're facts then so can we. When you say he went there looking for trouble then you are saying he is guilty. And if that "effing" bothers you then quit trying to apply seperate standards for yourself and those in discussion.

    I believe you're being unduly confident of this. There certainly hasn't been any evidence presented thus far that Kyle did anything inappropriate to "incite" the child molester to chase him. Prosecutors regularly bow to political pressure and over-charge cases. Why do you not believe that could be the case here? Perhaps the prosecutor wanted to appease the mob so they didn't destroy more of Kenosha.

    As long as you continue to push your assertions then so will other people about the things you say. You don't get to get it both ways. You can either admit you have no real idea about Kyle's intentions that night, or you can continue to make the claims you have been and deal with the consequence of people doing the same with you. That's how this works.

    So, you are only allowed to carry a weapon in certain places now?
