Kyle Rittenhouse: Vigilante White Men

[Anonymous]

So what this verdict is saying, is that anyone can take a firearm to a protest they disagree with, and if someone tries to disarm them, they can shoot with no impunity, yes?

Truth!

only if you're white

Yep. Totally. Minorities really aren’t flocking to CPAC.

Funny, one of my best friends there is retired CIA and black

I have a black friend! And my attorney is Jewish

There are lots of minorities at CPAC

Um, no. You are reading an awful lot into a verdict and glossing over a litany of facts.

To protect a car lot from these rioters who wanted to burn the cars. Because he interfered with that, they went after Rittenhouse and tried to kill him.

Was he under 18 at the time? Why was a minor carrying a semiautomatic rifle and why was he trying to protect the car lot? Did his family own it? That's crazy that a 17 yr old was there with a semiautomatic.

It’s legal in Wisconsin

If he didn’t have it he would be dead trying to protect the car lot from being destroyed

It is legal - in Wisconsin- to go Deer hunting with your Dad and Grandpa as long as they are agreeing to be responsible for the gun they loan you

It is NOT legal to go into a mob- with no adult supervision with an semi automatic weapon with 30 rounds in it strapped to you

By your logic, school shooters are also " just protecting themselves against bullies"

He was hit in the head with a cinder block, a skateboard, drop kicked in the face and had a gun pointed at his face. He was totally justified.

Now it's time for the real work. States need to get rid of open carry and ban concealed carry in public places. Or any physical threat will be used to justify gun violence.

Agree, and I am far from a Republican. The problem is much less the case of Kyle Rittenhouse and much more the laws that permit his activity. I get the outrage, but basically people are angry that a criminal trial can't countermand the terrible policy choices that are already on the books.

MSNBC has updated their headline. Curious what changed their mind.

The feds need to thoroughly investigate the judge and each member of the jury, diving deep into each person’s personal, professional, and financial conduct to see if there was possible collusion with the defense.

100% agree. An example needs to be made here.

It's not really legal anywhere to protect a business after curfew as a minor with a questionably legal gun. Not in Wisconsin. Not anywhere in the US.

Which is why no one has claimed that as a defense or rationale.

+1000.

Everyone: turn off MSNBC, turn off CNN.

They are not telling you the truth anymore.

CNN referred to Rittenhouse as a yahoo. Not a huge deal but it's biased, inflammatory, and unprofessional. Chris Cuomo.

It's an opinion show.

Yeah. And referring to teenagers who are from working class backgrounds as yahoos is unprofessional and indecent. All the more coming from a rich elite sanctimonious thug.

Is it more or less unprofessional than a POTUS who is a rich elite calling people names?

Great point. I'd say it's THE SAME.

you think a talking on a news network should be held to the same standards as a POTUS? Oh my. No wonder we got Trump.

Do you believe this in the best interest of justice?

I care more about setting a precedent against white supremacist vigilantism than I care about justice. Let’s focus on the bigger issue, mmm’k?

It is legal for a teen to carry a long barreled rifle. That was determined and the weapons charges were dismissed.

So, a 17 yr old who had no business being there with a semiautomatic rifle felt threatened and then shot three people? I mean, maybe it wasn't "murder" per se, but seems he has some culpability there.
