It wasn't his town?

To me when you start leaving your home with gun looking for a fight you're in the wrong, maybe not legally but still asking for trouble and going to get it like this guy's current situation in trial

It's the same as someone breaking into my truck in my driveway. Could I run out there and shoot them while they're digging in my console of truck? I suppose. Am I going to spend thousands of hours of my life dealing with it and possibly ending up in jail? Yeah, so there's no ****ing way I'm doing it.

He's no hero, not sure why he's getting the hero treatment on this forum and others. Just a dumb kid who put himself in a bad situation.

---

It's not the same. At all. Kyle didn't shoot anyone in defense of property. Kyle shot 3 scumbags who were attacking him, one of which pointed a pistol at him.

Rittenhouse wouldn't have needed to be there if the frigging politicians and law enforcement agencies did their jobs to protect life and property of their residents from the rioting and looting.

---

And if the media actually covered and described what was taking place.

It was the town he worked in. It was the town his friends lived in. Not sure what difference it makes, though.

You vote for illegal aliens to walk into this country uninhibited. It isn't their country.

I also believe that the group he was with was asked to be there by the owner of the 3 car lots they were protecting because he knew the local cops and mayor weren't going to do **** to protect property or lives and the day before an older man got his head caved in with a cinder block for trying to protect his store; so he had a hell of a lot better reason to "be there" than the three guys he shot who were there for nothing but mayhem and destruction.

So then why did Gage drive further than Kyle armed with a g20 glock?

There's no law stating "you can't leave your home town" at least not yet.

---

Grosskreuz probably wouldn't have even been prosecuted if he had killed Rittenhouse.

If you give an activist a protest...he will destroy property, loot, attack others, etc. They were looking for trouble and to cause panic.



You can't say "Kyle Rittenhouse Shouldn't Have Even Been There", but say it is ok for people from 4 states away to do whatever they please in Kenosha, WI.

If you agree with the concept of "the process is the penalty" it is clear that the very idea of self defense is what these Kenosha DA's are putting on trial.

They want (Leftist) riots to be able to proceed unhindered.

His father lives in Kenosha. He lives with his mother in Antioch, IL, roughly 30 minutes away (if you drive like a p***y). He has spent tons of time in Kenosha, even holding a job there. These are both his towns. LOL. NEXT.

Go get your next talking points from Rachel Maddow and build back better. We're waiting.

You should, bc you sound just like her.

Is she an NRA Life member too?

So you're a lifetime NRA member yet you post crap in clear disregard to a persons use of text book self defense? Sounds kind of idiotic.

I didn't say at any point what he did was illegal, just misguided and not worthy of the hero treatment.

Kick my teeth in, but we're not on opposite sides on this issue. I certainly believe in Gun rights and right to defend yourself, I just think this was poor judgment and use of those rights. I guess when the next riots happen in Dallas and Houston then F16 will be a little quieter with all you patriots going downtown to protect other people's property and dealing with the aftermath.

I just don't buy into the hero worship for bizarre figures (Trump, January 6 trespassers, that wacky white couple in St. Louis who stood outside their house with guns, rittenhouse), but I know that's popular here. Same goes for figures on the left for what it's worth and before someone says I worship them.

No, you just lie.

"It wasn't his town"

LOL

This is America. This isn't part of the argument. He can be where he wants. Just like any protester can. As long as it isn't infringing on private property.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero.

Calling someone a hero is not tantamount to hero worship.

I guess that "whacky White couple" was just supposed to lay back and enjoy whatever Antifa decided to do with them or their home?

I admire their fortitude. In the same situation I hope I can muster same.

His dad and other family lived in that town. Does that matter though? It is like a 20 minute drive away its not like he strapped a diaper on and drove across the country like that astronaut loon.

A 17 year old kid went to a town he had roots in which was on fire bc of rioting. He went to remove graffiti, put out fires, and help. He went to step n where his local government failed to protect the people that pay for it. That is the definition of a hero.

The white couple stood outside because a bunch of BLM thugs decided to go to the burns and act like idiots. Just wish someone at a NYC restaurant would have done the same to those loser protesters.

He didn't live there. He was a resident of Antioch where he lived with his mother. For example, I spent years of my life in another state with my grandparents during Christmas and 4-6 weeks every summer, it was never my town and I didn't live there.

That's hardly the sticking point, even if he lived in Kenosha full time I would say this was poor judgment.

Well you are definitely repeating a mainstream media talking point of someone's. Not sure who. But those who stay away from msm, tend to have a different perspective on many of these events.

Kyle Rittenhouse had every right to be there, whether you think it was stupid or not. I would have every right to be there coming from Leander, Texas. This part 100% doesn't matter legally, nor should be brought up by anyone again.

Whether or not he was looking for trouble and just wanted to shoot someone, or went there with good intentions, is pure speculation and unknown. Again, pure speculation on BOTH sides.

He was then attacked, felt his life was in danger, and defended himself as necessary.

Seems clear cut that it cannot be convicted for murder unless there are more, actual FACTS, presented to the jury we do not have. But I've been shocked by verdicts coerced by the public recently recently more and more.

This is silly...just take a step back and read the sh** you are saying. Multiple AWFUL analogies. I.e. comparing self defense to shooting a car burglar.

I realize the talking point is to give the false perception that he had to drive across multiple states, but it's literally a neighboring town. Closer than The Woodlands and Houston. He spent much of his life there. Who gives a F where he was an "official resident"?

This is just stupid...just leave.

This is where I'm at. I have all kinds of issues with his actions that night, and I seriously wonder how many people would want for one of their own children to do the same. But yes the only question is what impact any of that has on a self-defense argument, which is probably none.

The last time there was a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas a black BLM thug murdered several police officers.

I think this is a fair take. No, it has no bearing at all on his self defence argument, and I don't question his motives. But at the same time, if my 17-year-old son armed up and was headed for this **** show, he'd have to run me over to get to the road.

Should see his covid bull**** posts.

That has no bearing on a self-defense case so you need to just let it go. It's within the law to defend himself, with deadly force if he feels his life is being threatened.

There hasn't been any proof he was going around looking to shoot someone, either.

This is brutal...lol. dude keeps getting his teeth kicked in but doubles and triples down on stupidity.

When it is your block on fire you'll be hoping for a Rittenhouse.

Saying you support gun rights sounds weak when you state your line is drawn in s short circle around your personal self. The difference between you and a hero like Rittenhouse is that he went to defend and help others in his community in the face of madness while you claim you won't even defend your property in your driveway. That's what makes him a hero. He disregarded his own personal safety and wellbeing, including the possible legal ramifications of potentially having to use a firearm, in order to protect others. That is a selfless act.

On the other hand, I can only conclude that you are craven and selfish by what you said. Kyle is everything you are not, and I suspect that is one of the reasons you have the position you do.

He shouldn't have been there. He still has the right to defend himself.
