Kyle Rittenhouse: Vigilante White Men

[Anonymous]

Governments need to assert a monopoly on violence - otherwise, they can't govern. Very limited exceptions are workable - for example, if you need to use physical force on someone else to avoid death or serious bodily injury to yourself or someone near you. But we need to get back to a duty to retreat where it's feasible -- because the government's ability to govern is more important than an individual citizen's ego.

This is a feature, not a bug, of the GOP adopting extreme readings of the 2nd Amendment. Aligns with their antigovernment messaging.

He with the most guns and money gets to run the country. The Constitution is toast.

How is this ok? Can prosecution use this to get the judge kicked off?

I think it has to do with the extra burden the Constitution imposes on the State in criminal prosecutions. In any event, do we really think that if (hypothetically) a jury wouldn't convict Mr. Rittenhouse for shooting individuals, that the jury would suddenly convict him for shooting victims?

No dear. Life doesn’t work that way.

I’m STILL the victim. I just chose NOT to be victimized. If I killed you because you were trying to harm me, that doesn’t mean you’re somehow magically transformed into righteousness just because you’re dead.

It just makes you a dead criminal assailant.


I’m still the victim.

The people Kyle Rittenhouse murdered were trying to rape him? That’s news to me.

They were trying to disarm Rittenhouse after he had been spotted brandishing/pointing the firearm at the crowd.

I think he will ultimately be convicted.

Me too. And if the state doesn't convict him the feds should step in. He crossed state lines to murder protestors.

There goes that ‘lying’ Daily Caller again.

How many videos and other information will the FBI continue to lose?

So if lawyers can’t use the word victim, how about people killed by Rittenhouse?

[Anonymous]

This was no protest, lie number one. Bad judgement in taking the gun, but he seems to be the victim here.

JFC use your head. The judge is correct. What would prejudice the jury would be to call them victims. That’s a central issue that the trial is trying to determine.

Looks like the prosecution helped Kyle:

Exactly. The video footage seems to show they weren't victims, quite the opposite BUT that needs to be determined after all the facts are presented. As you stated that's the central issue of this trial.

This is fairly common, and will help the prosecution if there’s an appeal. This judge does it with all of his cases.

It seems unfair that the defense gets to call them arsonists, rioters and looters, but the defense will create a lot of problems for themselves if they use those terms. I don’t particularly care if his counsel is stupid enough to walk into that trap.

Fellow rioter and assailant Gaige Grosskreutz was also a felon, but he was carrying a handgun. If you haven’t seen the series of images where Grosskreutz first approached Rittenhouse, who is down, with his hands raised before suddenly drawing his illegally-carried handgun on him.

From all the videos I've seen it's obvious it was self defense.

These were rioters who decided to attack someone with obvious consequences.

+1 Also if you are saying Kyle should not have been there...why don't you ask yourself why the rioters should not have been there?

Americans love protest, hates riots. You can see the caving of BLM since heavy amount of rioting and destruction.
