Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty

Defence : “your honour the prosecution talked over the limit allowed “

judge:”they could have get away with murder as I wasn’t timing them “

humour From a very sick country 😂😂

And fair play to him. Why shouldn't he cash in?

An 'armed teenager being a thing' is a cause for concern and hand wringing but armed mobs of violent looters are not a concern?

One lead to the other, if the cowardly police and politicians hadn't decided to let Kenosha burn for political expediency then perhaps 'armed teenagers' on it's streets would not be a thing.

Why would they shoot someone that's already dead? That makes zero sense.

After seeing the evidence and his total lack of remorse ,I've not a lot of sympathy ,the people who brought him to kenosha bare a part of responsibility ,and then came the lies of being an EMT ,and being paid to guard the car lot ,he was attacked with a rock ,he was attacked with a baseball bat and had his head nearly taken off with a skateboard ,

He was hit with a skateboard because people reacted to him shooting rosenbaum ,he told people it wasn't him ,

He told everyone (likely advised) he lunged at his gun ,not Rittenhouse but rittenhouses gun ,so he could kill him ,the drone footage shows rosenbaum going towards him but with several feet between them,he fires the first shoot and Rosenbaum hit the deck and was shot on the ground ,the last shot to his back ,

To me it show Rittenhouse in a different light callous even .

The only time I've seen him emotional was in the witness box and not a tear in eyes while looking at the judge to get him out of there ,

It was a series of events (unfortunate)? that snowballed into the situation we have now

Except the weapons charges were tossed, only one person was there with an illegal weapon and he lost a bicep.

There is no whataboutery and there is no 'two wrongs', unless you think a town abandoned to anarchy that chooses to defend itself is somehow wrong. Armed thugs arrived to burn the place down and the athorities tasked with protecting it LET THEM, You would have to be mad to suggest that people there had no just right to defend themselves and should just submit to the mob and beg for mercy.

I’d prefer neither.

There is a video online of him punching a girl in the head several times.

I know the message board is anonymous and so it's not possible to actually lose face or anything like that.

Is there not even a part of you that wonders if maybe you have been duped by the mainstream narrative on this?

I think there is a similarity between the Covington MAGA kid and this case in that people have gone all in with the narrative before any proper examination of the case has taken place.

With Covington it was kind of absurd that this should even be discussed in Ireland at all because it basically boils down to some old guy approaching a group of kids banging a drum and the kids refusing to move out of his way while smirking. LOL. We have little scrotes here pushing people under trains and that somehow gets LESS coverage than some US schoolkid smirking at an old man.

This Rittenhouse thing seems like a pretty easy case to not get invested in. He's not a mass shooter in the same way as what happened in Las Vegas or the Pulse Nightclub or in the Columbine case decades ago. There is a reasonable argument that there could have been self-defense here and in all fairness it wasn't exactly upstanding members of society he killed and they were quite obviously going after him. So either some kid with a gun murdered 3 scumbags who were attacking him or he didn't murder them because it was self defense. It's not exactly a situation worth getting so worked up about.

Though I would say it does raise issues about how we see our communities and how far we would be willing to go to protect our communities. If protestors arrive at a place with the intent of causing damage and harm then those people are absolutely not doing anything for the community at all. So we, in Ireland, would expect the police to do their jobs if local kids were going around smashing up local businesses. What do we do when the police just don't bother doing anything? Sit tight and hope that the mob doesn't target us?
