He won't be tried for murder 1. They didn't have enough time to collect evidence so they went maximum charge just in case. He'll end up getting probation, tops.
Let's talk about Kyle Rittenhouse
- Thread starter DaShuckster
- Start date
The kid had a med-pack on him and was recorded talking to a reporter earlier saying he was there to help protect people and property. He said he had the gun with him for self defense.
Good luck with murder 1 when there is video of all 3 victims attacking him first while he was trying to flee.

Not self defense when you shoot someone that points a gun at you, amirite guys? Dude gets half his arm blown off but still holding the .45 that he aimed at a 17 year old.
So, the moral of the story is don't bring a skateboard to a gunfight?
What do you think this 17 year old was expecting when he drove over from Illinois to play vigilante justice with his AR-15?
Apparently not to you guys. Even self defense is illegal is the liberal world view.
Watching Rambo play shoot 'em up might give you goosebumps on your living room sofa, but playing Rambo in real-life has real-life consequences.
Huh? After a big manhunt, didn't Rambo surrender at the end of First Blood and get sentenced to a maximum security prison?
That's the only one of the Rambo movies I saw. He must have turned into a hero after the little mistakes he made in Rambo 1.
It looked like the guy identified as this Kyle Rittenhouse tripped and fell to the street and began firing shots as he got up. Was he rushed??? It sure looked to me like everybody nearby this kid was running the hell away. That's self-defense?
You know, it's stunning how many times when this crap happens that we get: "he feared for his life, it was self-defense" when the shooter is White and "he was a bad dude," when the victim is Black.
This even happened to the Black jogger, Ahmaud Arbery who was gunned down by a couple White neighborhood vigilantes back last February. The perpetrators, the McMichaels father and son team, weren't even charged until a video of the incident was released. There were actually people who felt the victim's shoplifting arrest three years earlier should be considered in the McMichaels' defense.
It looked like he fired a shot (you can hear in the video). Then people tried to get the gun away from him. In this case both people were white, so it's difficult to determine who looked suspicious. *
People trying to take a AR-15 weapon away from a kid shooting it on the open street??!? Well, THAT would most certainly be self-defense!!!!
In the immortal words of Charlton Heston, "I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!!!"
You're delusional. Chasing him down the street, kicking him in the head, hitting him with a skateboard is not "running away". The one guy pointed a .45 at him from 2 feet away.
Imagine defending an openly racist moron who drove across state lines with the sole intention to shoot protestors.
Holy shit y'all are fuking delusional.
Holy shit y'all are fuking delusional.
Hitting with a skateboard really crossed the line.
Is it just me, or does it seem strange how often people involved in these shootings have a history of sexual assault or domestic abuse?
Well, I'll be damned. I guess killing those SOBs ain't so bad after all, huh?*
The kid was out there giving medical help to people on both sides of the protest. He was attacked by 2 people and it is on video. At that point he shot them, and the 3rd person he shot had a gun aimed at him. I guess he should have just laid there and let them beat the hell out of him with a skate board, and hoped the angry crowd didn't join in. Should he be charged? Possibly, Should he be charged with 1st degree murder? No way in the hell. Was he stupid for being there in the first place? Yes.
3 things you can count on in life:
Death, taxes, and goodknightfl being an absolute monster of a fuking inbred moron providing the undeniably stupidest takes imaginable.
It's just an observation. People who have a history of violence are almost always the people that get shot in these scenarios.
I watched a detailed account of Rittenhouse's deadly activities the night he killed two people and injured one.
The part of the video rundown that boggles the mind is that the police were a block from the shooting. When it was all over, Rittenhouse put his hands in the air and walked towards the police (with his AR-15 still slung over his shoulder) and with bystanders yelling out, "HE WAS THE SHOOTER!!!" -- and what happens?
Did the police circle with guns drawn? Did they call out to him to drop the gun and drop to the ground?
The same police force that shot a black man in the back seven times didn't do a damn thing to a 17 year old with an AR-15. The kid went back home to Illinois.

You're trying to use common sense and logic with republicans/red-hats..........just won't work. They'll just resort to name calling like UCF mikes and others.
You vote for them.Remember when rapists used to be bad. No more...shook loves them
He should have been detained. It'll be interesting to hear the reason why he wasn't.
2/3 of the Antifa and black lives matter rioters are white.
Rittenhouse defense:
"Kyle worked in Kenosha. Rifle was in Kenosha. He was at work that morning as a community lifeguard. Then stayed to clean up and only later was asked to help guard a business by a friend.
Statement by Rittenhouse’s legal team at Pierce Bainbridge, provided to the Gateway Pundit, they explain, among other things that “after Kyle finished his work that day as a community lifeguard in Kenosha, he wanted to help clean up some of the damage, so he and a friend went to the local public high school to remove graffiti by rioters.”
Additionally, the weapon Rittenhouse was using to protect himself and others never crossed state lines.
“Later in the day, they received information about a call for help from a local business owner, whose downtown Kenosha auto dealership was largely destroyed by mob violence,” the statement continues. “Business owner needed help to protect what he had left of his life’s work, including two nearby mechanic’s shops. Kyle and a friend armed themselves with rifles due to the deadly violence gripping Kenosha and many other American cities, and headed to the business premises. The weapons were in Wisconsin and never crossed state lines.”
When Rittenhouse arrived at the mechanics shop, he and others stood guard to prevent further destruction. Later that night, long after the 8 p.m. curfew had passed, the police began to disperse a group of rioters. His lawyer, John M. Pierce, explains that while dispersing the mob, they maneuvered a mass of individuals down the street towards the auto shops. Rittenhouse and the others were threatened and taunted, but he did not react. “His intent was not to incite violence, but simply to deter property damage and use his training to provide first aid to injured community members,” Pierce says.
After the situation seemed to be diffused, Rittenhouse became increasingly concerned about people who were injured at the gas station, so he went in that direction with his first aid kit. He helped those he could find who were injured, either by administering aid or directing them which way to go for help beyond what he could offer.
The statement says that by the final time that Rittenhouse returned to the gas station and “confirmed there were no more injured individuals who needed assistance, police had advanced their formation and blocked what would have been his path back to the mechanic’s shop. Kyle then complied with the police instructions not to go back there. Kyle returned to the gas station until he learned of a need to help protect the second mechanic’s shop further down the street where property destruction was imminent with no police were nearby.”
“As Kyle proceeded towards the second mechanic’s shop, he was accosted by multiple rioters who recognized that he had been attempting to protect a business the mob wanted to destroy. This outraged the rioters and created a mob now determined to hurt Kyle. They began chasing him down. Kyle attempted to get away, but he could not do so quickly enough. Upon the sound of a gunshot behind him, Kyle turned and was immediately faced with an attacker lunging towards him and reaching for his rifle. He reacted instantaneously and justifiably with his weapon to protect himself, firing and striking the attacker,” Pierce explains.
Additionally, Rittenhouse stopped to ensure care for his attacker, hardly sounds like someone who had went to the riot with intent to kill.
“Kyle stopped to ensure care for the wounded attacker but faced a growing mob gesturing towards him. He realized he needed to flee for his safety and his survival. Another attacker struck Kyle from behind as he fled down the street. Kyle turned as the mob pressed in on him and he fell to the ground,” his legal team says. “One attacker kicked Kyle on the ground while he was on the ground. Yet another bashed him over the head with a skateboard. Several rioters tried to disarm Kyle. In fear for his life and concerned the crowd would either continue to shoot at him or even use his own weapon against him, Kyle had no choice but to fire multiple rounds towards his immediate attackers, striking two, including one armed attacker. The rest of the mob began to disperse upon hearing the additional gunshots.”
Rittenhouse then attempted to turn himself in, but was told to keep moving. He went and turned himself in to his local police that evening.
“Kyle got up and continued down the street in the direction of police with his hands in the air. He attempted to contact multiple police officers, but they were more concerned with the wounded attackers. The police did not take Kyle into custody at that time, but instead they indicated he should keep moving,” the statement says. “He fully cooperated, both then and later that night when he turned himself in to the police in his hometown, Antioch, Illinois.”
The legal team says that “in a reactionary rush to appease the divisive, destructive forces currently roiling this country, prosecutors in Kenosha did not engage in any meaningful analysis of the facts, or any in-depth review of available video footage (some of which shows that a critical state’s witness was not even at the area where the shots were fired); this was not a serious investigation. Rather, after learning Kyle may have had conservative political viewpoints, they immediately saw him as a convenient target who they could use as a scapegoat to distract from the Jacob Blake shooting and the government’s abject failure to ensure basic law and order to citizens. Within 24-36 hours, he was charged with multiple homicide counts.”
Rittenhouse is now being represented by some of the best legal minds in the country at Pierce Bainbridge, with help from Nicholas Sandmann’s lawyer Lin Wood.
On Friday, his legal team obtained a several-week continuance of his extradition hearing to September 25th. The lawyers say that this is an attempt to slow the rush to assassinate his character and destroy his life.
“Kyle, his family, the team at Pierce Bainbridge and his other lawyers intend to fight these charges every step of the way, take the case to trial and win an acquittal on the grounds of self-defense before a jury of his peers,” the statement reads.
The legal fees and other costs of Kyle’s defense will be provided through donations to #FightBack Foundation Inc., a Texas 501(c)(4) foundation created by John Pierce and Lin Wood to protect law- abiding American citizens whose rights are being trampled on by state and local governments that are more concerned with appeasing mobs than protecting those rights.
“A 17-year old child should not have to take up arms in America to protect life and property. That is the job of state and local governments. However, those governments have failed, and law-abiding citizens have no choice but to protect their own communities as their forefathers did at Lexington and Concord in 1775,” Pierce said. “Kyle is not a racist or a white supremacist. He is a brave, patriotic, compassionate law-abiding American who loves his country and his community. He did nothing wrong. He defended himself, which is a fundamental right of all Americans given by God and protected by law. He is now in the crosshairs of institutional forces that are much more powerful than him. But he will stand up to them and fight not only for himself, but for all Americans and their beloved Constitution. We will never leave his side until he is victorious in that fight.”

Hmmm so weird to find that Shookster gives no shits about the Trump supporter who was murdered on the street in Portland last night by Biden terrorists.
You're projecting again.
you're like one of those creepy Indian dudes that stalks the social media of attractive women sending them nonstop messages trying to get their attention.
Specifically which democrat wants to "abolish the police" or are you just parroting talking points from Big T?
