Well one could argue both groups are at fault carrying guns.. 

 

But he is far from a domestic terrorist  

More like a vigilante.

 

I think manslaughter is the best outcome for this case. 

 

On the remote chance that the god you believe in is real,how would he view this guys actions taking into account part of your belief system is an order from said god,thou shalt not kill ?

the kid shouldn't have been there with a rifle, but after watching the video footage, i don't feel bad for the victims at all. everyone in this case was looking for trouble the way i see it. they got it.

Manslaughter sure. But first or 2nd degree murder not a chance. The people he shot were literally attempting to take his gun. And got close to doing it.

we'll see. There's so much fake crap and politicization around this that, hopefully, this takes its time and  they go through it all carefully and not base a decision on spin or doctored photos or video snippets that tell the story you want it to.

 

Kids a creep tho, it's his fault for showing up that way.

Sun Times had a good article about KR, personally i think he gets off murder or manslaughter charge.

Probably gets convicted of lesser gun charge.

This whole thing reminds me of play stupid games win stupid prizes saying.


https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2021/11/5/22765491/kyle-rittenhouse-jury-self-defense

this part of the article says it all:

 

Rittenhouse is such an idiot he never even suspected he was in over his head until it was too late.

 

In fact, until the moment he shot Joseph Rosenbaum, that August night probably felt like the greatest of Rittenhouse’s life as he played the hero, toting around his big gun and his first aid kit, pretending he was a “medic” who was only there to help — parroting the first responder motto: “If there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way.”

I would argue the people trying to disarm this piece of $#&% are the vigilantes.

the kid was running towards the police the moment he realized he killed the first guy. whether that was justified self-defense, i don't know, imo that's the most crucial part here, but they'll decide that in court.

 

but why would you want to disarm someone who's running towards the police? he was running past dozens of people, so it was clear he wasn't a threat to anyone, thus no need to play vigilante, but still, 3 or 4 guys started to chase him just the like first guy who got shot. nah man, at that point that had a lynching mob feel to me. kid would have been beaten to death for sure.

 

you're one of the better posters here, you always seem very rational and i tend to agree with you most of the times, but calling him a domestic terrorist just makes no sense to me.

Wannabe cop, savior and protector.

Also attacking a guy that has a long gun with a skateboard is a very bad idea.

So, think he will get in trouble for killing that first guy? 

A thrown plastic bag can't possibly be considered some sort of an assault that justifies self defense using deadly force.

We aren’t stupid. We know what you’re trying to do. 

Ok. I don't know what you mean but maybe I'll just stop posting in the thread. Seems too emotional for ppl. I thought it was just interesting from a legalistic standpoint.

 

I passionately loath donald trump and support gun control but I guess I'll get labeled a trumphead anyway

This will end up like the OJ trials.

Kyle will be found not guilty of shooting  and killing two people; but will serve time for illegally transporting that gun, that was not his, across state lines, while not being old enough to have possession of such a weapon.

 

OJ didn't go to jail for killing his ex and her new man, but rather for stealing his own shirts back.

 

 

Justice?

I think whatever the kids actions were when he got there, the big question is why show up like that in the 1st place. 

 

It should be a cautionary tale for any self-appointed police out there, and screams for gun training requirements in the US.

 

It shouldn't be a surprise that just because you can buy an ar-15 from Walmart that you can get yourself into trouble when you start playing cop with no training. 

 

And what the hell kind of parents arm a teenage boy like this? holy cow.

I wonder why the parents aren't being charged..... if you arm your kid and he goes out and kills someone there should be liability there. Maybe that will happen if creepo gets convicted.

If you don't believe there is any case at all here for self defense then you must not believe in any concept of self defense laws. But self defense laws do exist whether you like them or not.

 

Watch the video or listen to the prosecutions own witnesses. Not only can we see the first victim chase down, catch and lunch for the gun, according to the prosecutions own witness, Rosenbaum told Rittenhouse and his friend "If I see any of you alone, I will kill you"

Can you adjust your OP?

There was no molotov cocktail. It was a plastic bag. Read about the trial, nobody is saying it was on fire.

It seems he murdered someone for throwing a plastic bag at him. 

 

Here it is on the ground.

Thank you for telling me what I  must not believe; that saves me a lot of time! :picard:

that logic doesn't follow, at all. You can believe that the circumstances doesn't meet the standard of self-defence or what's reasonable. 

 

He knew he shouldn't have been armed in the first place. He knowingly walked into a volatile situation, illegally armed. He then went looking for trouble, on some sort of self-appointed mission.

 

So we'll see what the evidence and process really shows, but you can't make this statement about self defence.

Watch the video. Its not pictures that are doctored. Unless you think the video is doctored. Which there is zero evidence to suggest 1:44 in https://www.bitchute.com/video/G7CycBXQIt2U/
