Two people lost their lives; regardless on why they were there because a person with extremely poor judgement decided it was smart to go down to a riot with a gun.

A gun illegally purchased for him by a friend, because why? Oh right, he wasn't old enough to legally own a firearm.

No matter the verdict, the country will continue to be polarized and this just adds fuel to the fire.  The jury has spoken, I'll respect their verdict.  I hope everyone can.

Case wasn't handled very well by the prosecution and the judge seemed a bit strange. I'm sure he will be back in court again.

[hagjohn]

Sad thing is that he will be paraded around as a hero by the so-called christian party who has grown more violent every passing year and believes in "pro-life" and "5th commandment" for killing 2 men and getting away with it.

The prosecutor's actions were a dumpster fire. He needs to go.

 

The judge seemed pretty normal for the Midwest; faced with repeated nonsense by said prosecutor, MSNBC, the video quality issue, and other BS he brought down Lucifer's Hammer. 

 

We have a bunch of him in MI and they aren't all "white"; Black, White, Middle Eastern, Asian, liberal or conservative - you don't screw with 'em.

You do know everyone involved in this case was white, right?

On at least one police form it states Rittenhouse is Hispanic.

 

The guys he shot were all white, and Rosenblum was on lifetime probation after 11 charges of diddling little boys in Arizona. Bad guy.

But the statement was he brought the AR with him. Your post agrees with my statement that this was patently false, so thanks 👍👍 😉

Guy went looking for trouble, found it, got too hot for him, and killed two people for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Moral of the story: It's okay to do things like this... apparently.

That's similar to saying "that woman shouldn't have worn that short skirt to the bar, she knew there'd be drunk men looking for possible trouble. She deserved to be raped."

Well no.. Women don't go out, looking to be raped.

No. It's not. At all. 

[wakjak]

Anyone who says he didn't go there looking to cause trouble... I'm selling a bridge... you can hide under it.

The United States is a really broken country isn't it? People should be asking themselves why citizens need to be wandering around town with semi automatic rifles in the first place. 

 

Looting and violence in the name of peaceful protest is wrong, but that is what law enforcement (or the National Guard if things truly get out of hand) is for, but no lets leave it to kids to deal out justice through the barrel of a gun. Rittenhouse is legally not allowed to drink alcohol because he is not considered adult enough in the eyes of the law, but it's cool with owning and using deadly force with a automatic weapon? Okayy.

The US is the last bastion of freedom. The US falls, the ENTIRE world falls.

 

We are a nation of laws, not emotions. The founders all had been living under the crown of the UK or other various monarchies back in the day.

They knew, how oppressive monarchies could be. centralized power, they knew was bad. So they established a form of government whereby a "bottom-up" approach. The town or city

has the vast majority of power as opposed to the federal government. So despite everything else, our Constitution is LIMITATION on the federal governments power period.

 

As to walking around with guns, in order to own an Automatic firearm, you need a Federal Firearm licence for that. Sorry to say, even in the days of this nations beginning, everybody owned military grade weapons too.

This was a a very tough trial to judge.  I honestly thought that there would be a mistrial, just on bias alone. 

 

Kyle should not have put himself in that position, nor do I feel it's "self defence" when your the one with a gun and the others aren't . 

But it's also very easy to argue that the protesters put themselves in a bad situation as well . 

I still believe there should be at least some form of punishment on Kyle

 

That twisted Wisconsin law is what got Kyle free,  on the whole thing of a short barrel rifle

I thought it was headed to a mistrial when the prosecutor tried to use excluded evidence. Then he really lit a dumpster fire 🙄

One of them had an illegally carried Glock, presumably a 9mm but .40's are also popular in the region.

 

As far as "weapon" in the legal sense, most anything can be if it's used that way. A skateboard used as a melee weapon is definitely deadly.

He met the legal standards, so no. We're a nation of laws, not feelings.

There's a fine line between a short-barreled rifle and a long barreled pistol and some weapons cut right to the edge.

 

Given open carry requires no concealed weapon permit in WI (and many other states including MI)... 

 

Jury makeup (randomly picked by lot),

 

7 women

5 men

1 person of color

 

Verdict: 12-0.
