Sounds like oodles of white privilege to me there, amirite?

Same situation but the kid is black and he would be dead or life in prison, so yes.

Sure I agree. Does not mean that is right and does not mean you do another wrong and put this kid in prison. You don't wrong others because others are being wronged.

I don't think this is true but don't need to argue it because it's also besides the point. Yesterday, a jury decided not to send an innocent person to prison. That's good news. If there are other cases where innocent people are being sent to prison for righteous self-defense, we should focus on those and help get those people out of prison. That's constructive rather than destructive.

In rural parts of the country, millions of teenagers hunt both as a hobby and as a way to help feed their families. An AR-15 is just another long rifle, which is why there wasn’t anything illegal about Rittenhouse possessing it. It’s a common fact of life in many rural areas.

Long rifles aren’t really a significant part of gun violence. They make up about 3% of murder weapons.

Why can't they? When I was a kid in Virginia and not that far out from DC, kids brought their rifles to school so they could hunt on the way home. Kept them in the principal's office. This middle school and high school.

When? In the 19th century?

1970s and early 1980s.

Heck I think everybody should carry a gun now and anytime somebody bumps into you you can kill them. Claim self-defense because you fear for your life. Jorge, school shooters now have a defense if anybody tries to take away their gun. This is America baby. /s

No remorse whatsoever, no self-awareness. He is going to kill again, bank on it.

Even when presented with facts, you choose to ignore them and paint your own narrative.

NP. I don’t want to get into the merits of this verdict, I think this case was rightfully won on the technicalities of the law and the performance of the defense and prosecution.

I am curious whether it’s acceptable to you that a 17 year old can legally carry an army style weapon, travel to an area of unrest and confront other violent individuals? To me that’s a breakdown of the social fabric, like Clockwork Orange come to life.

DP. I don't think it is okay. But, it was legal. However, it is clear that Rittenhouse was attacked. It was self-defense. Should he have been there? No. Should the pthers have been there? No. Should they have attacked Rittenhouse? I think the answer is pretty clear.

The big mistake (I posted this earlier) was Jacob Blake pulling a knife and the media cover up of that fact.

I don't think Kyle should have been there. But, it seems odd to me that people have no concerns about the people he shot doing exactly the same thing (traveling to Kenosha with guns during a riot/protest). I don't think it can be okay for them and not okay for Kyle.

He was there at the request of a business along with a bunch of others with ARs because the businesses realized the police were not going to step in to protect their businesses. (I guess this weekend we should just let the businesses burn when police and fire do not respond?)

It’s not the place of civilians to protect things (i.e. “property”) via the employing of deadly violence. Those who own the things have insurance. Furthermore, society has decided that is the role of police. Are you arguing for defunding the police in favor of armed vigilantes?
If the kid had just minded his own business he would not be a national pariah.

Unclear what you mean by employ. Every reasonable citizen of this country will soon own firearms to protect their homes. If an angry mob tries to set fire to my home or business while I’m in it, they might reasonably expect that I am going to employ my firearm. (Don’t try this in DC, you will be arrested.)

KR is not a pariah. The media and Biden are pariahs.

Screen-shotted this post because it is prima facia evidence of your premeditation to commit murder if someone ever protests at your home.

If you ever do murder someone I’m giving this screen grab to the police.

NP You will get laughed out of the station. The person specifically said if faced with bodily harm. Setting fire to an occupied (or unoccupied) dwelling is arson. People get charged with murder when they commit arson and someone dies.

Sure.

A couple of problems with your plan though:

1. Can you really claim self defense? Like was there a riot going on around you?
2. Are there witnesses that will help your case like one of the people you shot?
3. Is there a lot of video of the incident that clearly shows you under attack?
4. Are you a meek kid being attacked by larger, rougher appearing people?

If you have those four your plan will work. Otherwise you are in trouble.

1. There was no automatic weapon.
2. Crossing state lines is not a crime and something millions of people do daily.
3. You have no idea of the future. None.

An AR15 can fire 30 rounds of ammunition! If that’s not an automatic weapon then I don’t know WTF is!!!!!

Automatic- multiple bullets come out of the gun on one trigger pull until you let go.
Semi- automatic- one bullet per trigger pull even if you don't release. The next bullet will be ready for the next trigger pull, but it won't come out of the gun until you pull the trigger.
AR-15 is semi- automatic as are most modern guns.

So there is essentially no difference whatsoever between the two.

Got it.

Therefore he had an automatic weapon.


Think you. We’re done here.

And I bet you and your buddies did that to try to intimidate and black children yiu came across on way to school from trying to attend your school as was their constitutional right after Brown v Board of Ed

And you hid behind some old hunting practice from the 1800’s

Kyle Rittenhouse lied that he was an EMT and entered a riot with a semi automatic strapped to him - a 17 year old with triggered PTSD - feeling like he finally has sanction to vent his pent up rage

He is a very disturbed 18 year old , with no education , a chaotic and abusive upbringing and - at age 17 - he has already murdered 2 strangers

He did so under cover of a riot - with impunity - then walked away right past the police . He shows no remorse

He is a sociopath and he will re- offend

Fine. By outlawing long rifles we can reduce murders by 3%. That’s more than 10,000+ lives saved every year by my math based on the current stats. You’ve sold me! Good job!

Ban all long rifles. Done!

You did not watch the trial, did you?

And, if you want the definition of sociopath, you might look up Rosenbaum.

Good luck with that.
And, as a former teacher, I request you show YOUR math because your numbers are WAAAAYYYYY off.
