Kyle Rittenhouse: Vigilante White Men

[Anonymous]

Rittenhouse is a hero. Just my opinion, of course, but one that I suspect is shared by multiple members of the jury.

If Rittenhouse was a 17 year old girl who was chased into a car lot by a convicted serial rapist who literally just was released from a mental institution and ended up shooting the serial rapist would any of you seriously be arguing that the 17 year old girl should be on trial for murder? Would you also say stuff like “the girl didn’t even know he was a convicted serial rapist” as a rationale for putting the girl on trial for murder? Would some of you go even further and wish the girl was locked up forever and have prison justice and abuse dealt out to her for killing a convicted serial rapist?

Lets assume all the facts are the same. She has an AR 15, Rosenbaum looks the same but has a different criminal past, protest is the same, etc.

You hypo beggars belief -- no 17 year old girl would put herself in the situation that Rittenhouse put himself in. Rittenhouse's response was not proportional to the threat. He could have and I would expect the girl in the virtually inconceivable hypo you propose to turn around, aim the gun at Rittenhouse, walk backwards toward other people, and call for help. I don't think he should be locked up forever, and I definitely don't wish prison justice on anyone. Rittenhouse didn't know that Rosenbaum had committed vile crimes. My sense of justice would be that he gets the full sentence on count 6 (9 mos) and 5-7 years for manslaughter.

He was not charged with manslaughter, can’t convict on a non charge.

I acknowledge this. The jury will be given a lesser charge instruction on the second killing. Clearly count 6 stands as is.

I’ll never understand how it’s fair to change the charge when you realize you can’t win the case as it is.

I actually share your feelings on this point, but it is where we are in this case.

I think the idea is that if they lose this trial they would charge him with other charges anyway and he would have a second trial. They did ask Rittenhouse if he would consent to other charges being included in this trial and he said he did. Personally I would of said no and made them have a second trial if they were so inclined.

That is an unpopular view on this website.

The arsonist BLM rioters and looters are the heroes to the democrats and socialists who frequent DCUMAD.

Kyle was trying to stop the arson of random businesses in Kenosha; the destruction of used car lots in Kenosha, the burning of apartment buildings and churches at the hands of BLM arsonists.

He was opposed to the rioters who ultimately murdered 19 people in the name of rioting for BLM (who now threaten to burn down NYC).

Beyond this one case, it is fair to ask:

- who are your heroes?

You have a very strange definition of hero. This child was poorly raised and will probably spend some time in jail before he's 20 due to some very bad decisions on his part as well as anyone who guided him. Anyone who supported him after the fact continued to give him poor guidance. He is not a hero. He killed two people. Not in self defense, not as a licensed LEO or member of the military. Just some idiot who thought it was a good idea to go into a bad situation and make it worse. Very sad story all around.

Please tell us more about these LEO licenses you mentioned.

Where can I buy one? You sound well-informed.

Ah, here’s the person who posted that violent, vulgar, sociopathic post yesterday.

And apparently loves mob rule. I think this cements my thinking that some of the posters on this thread are indeed Antifa.

+1 Lawless imbeciles……a bunch of emasculated losers.

You trumpers are the emasculated losers. Running around with military high-action weapons slaughtering people at a protest for justice.

Running around slaughtering people? This is why you can’t be taken seriously. You make up wild sh!t to prove some ridiculous point. This isn’t even close to what happened.

Agree to disagree. If you think there's any chance he spends even a night in jail, you haven't been watching the same trial I have.

Omg there was a verdict already? How did I miss that?

NP, I certainly wouldn't call him a hero.

He used some very bad judgement and doesn't come across as a great guy in any general sense, but he was trying to stop arsonists who were burning down local businesses. So while he used bad judgement I will at least give him credit for using bad judgement in pursuit of a worthy cause, which is more than can be said of any of the rioters/arsonists.

It is more than a little disturbing how many people on DCUM remain ignorant of the specifics of what happened and/or want to see Rittenhouse go to jail not because of what he did, but who he is and how they perceive his politics.

[Anonymous]

He illegally obtained and possessed an AR. That is more than bad judgment. You want 17 year olds with illegal obtained firearms roaming the streets of the DMV at night?

[Anonymous]

Shooting people in self defense isn’t heroic; it’s just self preservation. Taking to the streets with an AR-15 isn’t particularly heroic either. Most of us would feel pretty safe openly carrying an AR-15 and 30 rounds if we were willing to use them. Do you think he’s heroic because the people he killed had violent criminal histories? He didn’t know that and that’s not why he shot them and that’s no legal justification for shooting them on that on day anyway. Maybe you think he’s heroic for patrolling the streets in the name of self appointed security, even though he was underage, had no training or experience for the job, couldn’t legally carry the gun to the riot, and was violating the curfew in effect. Most of us do not feel safer when a teenage boy who isn’t particularly bright roams the streets during a riot with an AR-15.

His cleaning graffiti, handing out water and offering people bandaids was great. Not sure that rises to the level of “heroic.”

Even if he killed people in self-defense, there is not one heroic thing he did. He’s still a dumbass kid who showed up armed, acted recklessly, and got himself in over his head because he was a reckless dumbass kid.

He put his life on the line to maintain law and order in a situation where the local authorities were too afraid to do their jobs.

Oh jeez. He did not do that.
