I'd argue he had more spine than most of the grown men in Kenosha who allowed their city to be burned down by extremists. He had more of a right to be there than the rioters who were committing crimes. I suspect some people are upset their misguided idea of being able to chase down and attack people after starting a riot has just been shattered by reality.
I think you should try your luck
That isn't how the laws are written. If you have a problem with it and would like to change them, start with local legislatures. Maybe you can nullify the second amendment if you try hard enough. Until then, don't think you have a ticket to attack people because you don't agree with their politics.
I give him six months
At 17 yo he was scared and trying to gtfo after he finally realized what was going on.
Your suggestion is people are going to target a white man for defending himself against other white people? You are not a rational person. In six months, Mr. Rittenhouse will be balls deep in litigation against those who besmirched his character and wrongfully labeled him a white supremacist. Pucker up MSNBC.
Not to mention as he was flinging bullets with no knowledge or concern for bystanders
Not what I said but if it does happen hopefully Ted Nugent and a couple Congressmen men who are also fascist go down too
He was incredibly accurate. Very good trigger discipline under that type of pressure. This is going to be the prototypical incident shown to people in self-defense training in regards to what to do when an angry mob has you in their sights. The only people he hit were those wishing to do him harm.
He was playing Fortnite
Yeah great aim, good boi.
Straw purchases, minor in possession, not even knowing what hollow points are, lying about credentials, and playing superhero security guard....are all okay now. Hell, it's celebrated by millions. He was being stupid, but now that he's free, all that shit's gone out the window.
He was defending himself from an angry mob. I will say it again: if you were in that situation with a crown of angry Trump supporters chasing you down I would hope you'd do the same thing to preserve your life.
Kyle and his dim witted mommy will be facing civil suits, I imagine. The Rittenhouses may lose their double wide.
