Kenosha riots- Kyle Rittenhouse
Anyone following this Rittenhouse trial? It's looking more and more like this should have never come to trial. Dude he shot just testified he pointed his gun at Kyle before Kyle shot him. LOL. The guy was a witness for the prosecution. LEWLZ!
Jeez, I feel bad Kyle has had to go through this kangaroo circus.

Sadly yes.

2 men were killed.. One of the men was in a horizontal position...
That's what can happen when folks threaten the life of an armed man. Self defense has long been a justifiable response to being attacked.

I hope they have a circus in prison for him as suggested

He wasn't a man! He was a delusional child with grandiose thoughts and aspirations in his head.
We as a society, do not need or require the likes of him "protecting us".
If nothing else comes of this, it will serve as notice to others who have the same or similar train of thought.......hopefully.
I read he had applied or something and wanted to be a Cadet Officer in the Police Dept. Things happen for a reason this kid was a loose cannon from the get go.

If someone, ANYONE would have stepped in to protect Reginald Denny from the vicious, life altering attack he suffered during the Rodney King riots, I would have celebrated their actions. Rittenhouse was in a position to prevent attacks in Kenosha like the one suffered by Robert Cobb, and should be commended for it. Ball bat, pistol, dreaded AR15 or grandpa's old 03 Springfield, matters little. He was prepared to protect himself, and others.
Bottom line: Two violent thugs will not terrorize another city's inhabitants EVER, and one will think hard before doing it again.

That in the real world is a vigilante

Again he should have left the policing to the Police. They didn't ask him for help and nobody in town did.

Yep. It's kind of odd to see folks on this forum come down in support of the antifa and black lives matter terrorists but, it is what it is.

The police weren't stopping the burning and the beatings. If you were in danger and the police were unable or unwilling to protect you, I'd hope for someone like Kyle to step in on your behalf. Would you call it "vigilante justice" then?

I show no support for either. But I will stand and say bluntly he killed two people for no reason. Now how many other folks in town was carrying a AR15 out looking for a confrontation? He sure found it and bit off more than he could chew

The fact Kyle was standing up against folks and ultimately ended up defending his own life from those that spit on and want to defund the police makes some of the alliances here rather curious.

No excuse to kill . IN your own words.. standing up...in other words fighting...

And all of a sudden after the killings... How many other commando's want to come forward saying they were there and yes your Honor I want to kill some folks too because they riot

He is no Hero you are trying to make him out to be. He is a Zero . Hurting firearm owners all over the USA. Now what are you going to do when the anti gun folks have enough ammo and finally say... Well you know that kenosha incident with the AR15 is enough... Lets make them register them or just plain take them away..

Nothing hurts gun rights more than folks within the gun community who are willing to denigrate those that defend themselves with a gun.
Yep he was standing up... but not until he was in defense of his own life. He was there offering medical aid prior to being attacked. Defending your own life with a gun is something all gun owners should be capable of doing. It appears he did it quite well. Some of the dirt bag attackers are dead and folks here are upset about that. Quite telling.

So, he was there to protect the property of others AND offer medical aid?
There's some ocean beachfront property here in AZ. that I can hook you up with for cheap.. 😋
Check it out for yourself.
Tracking the Suspect in the Fatal Kenosha Shootings (Published 2020)
Footage appears to show a teenager shooting three people during protests in Wisconsin. We tracked his movements that night."Mr. Rittenhouse says that he’s there to protect the business. He calls it his job, although there is no indication that he was asked to guard the site.
Later, he claims to another videographer that he was pepper sprayed by someone in a nearby crowd while protecting property.
In most of the footage The Times has reviewed from before the shootings, Mr. Rittenhouse is around this area. He also offers medical assistance to protesters.
About 15 minutes before the first shooting, police officers drive past Mr. Rittenhouse, and the other armed civilians who claim to be protecting the dealership, and offer water out of appreciation.
Mr. Rittenhouse walks up to a police vehicle carrying his rifle and talks with the officers.
He eventually leaves the dealership and is barred by the police from returning. Six minutes later footage shows Mr. Rittenhouse being chased by an unknown group of people into the parking lot of another dealership several blocks away."

If more peoplestood up for theirselves then we wouldn't be in the mess we are in! I hate he is in this situation, but he was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT correct in his actions. Some of you act like he just walked out there and shot people. He acted in SELF DEFENSE, watch the video....no need to listen to some medical experts OPINION! ITS ALL ON VIDEO. If he was not attacked, then he would not have shot anybody. Heck, he tried to run and they chased him down to continue to try and murder him!

And to the ones who says he doesn't have enough experience or training............how many INNOCENT people did he shoot?! Seems to me that he had EXCELLENT gun handling skills!

Wouldn't have been attacked if he wasn't there. He made that decision and then the decision to kill.

Even the Police didn't kill anyone.

So, if I understand you correctly, you won't defend your own life?

No, he will. Him and the other don't believe anybody else should be able to...

What was the purpose of him going there?

To make your logic (sic) work, you have to believe that the attacks upon him were justified.
They were not.
Rittenhouse was not the aggressor in any of the three instances where he fire his weapon.
In retrospect, it was not a good idea to be there, but carrying a weapon does not provide legal justification for anyone to assault you.

The BLM supporters here believe the attacks on Kyle were justified... because he was there.
