I hope EVERYONE on F16, no matter how conservative or how strongly they feel about the Second Amendment, would counsel their teenage children to not behave as he did that night.

Counsel teenage children to not defend themselves from grievous bodily injury?

I don' have teenage children, but I'd counsel EVERYONE that if you're being chased by people who are trying to bash your skull in with a skateboard (or anything else), and you have a gun, ****ing shoot them.

---

No, not walk into a war zone openly displaying a long gun. Mother****er should have stayed home that night.

---

War zone? Who was breaking the law and making it a war zone? No libs, you don't "own the streets" when you throw your tantrums.

---

OK, mostly peaceful protest. I stand corrected.

---

My obvious point is that you're singling out a 17 yr old and not the hundreds of adults that were out burning and looting that night. Not the adults that chased down a 17 year old trying to run away from their mostly peaceful but fiery protest/riot.

---

And I think, or thought, most parents would simply not want their 17-year-old child to even be there. Clearly I thought wrong.

Yes, I wouldn't want my child anywhere near a BLM riot. Teenagers make very bad decisions all the time. But his lack of judgement wasn't so he could get high or commit crimes like all the adults that night. He was there to protect property.

Honestly you should have just said F16 parents should tell their 17-year-olds to not even be at things like that instead of "would counsel their teenage children to not behave as he did that night." You make it sound like he was in the wrong and he wasn't. I agree with why even be there, but he did not behave poorly that night. He tried to avoid violence until his life was in danger. I would hope my teen would react that way in a life-threatening situation, even if he did put himself in position to be in a life-threatening situation.

Rittenhouse had every damn right to be there that night. He broke no laws. "He shouldn't have been there" is the ultimate "I'm mad about this but I have no argument" comment. Everything would have been fine if a pedo Democrat hadn't attacked him.

Community members asked for people to help defend there property, and 17 yeas old is old enough to carry a rifle/fight. Of course parents dont want there kids in danger, but the world does not always allow us to live in safety and comfort.

What happened is exactly what should happen

He should have been there, if we wont defend out community when the police are told to stand down who will?

lol, everybody has crazy family...even heros.

I can think of at least three adults that "shouldn't have been there" that night. They went out to cause mayhem and destroy property. On top of that, they chased down and attacked a 17 yr old with a rifle. Talk about bad decision making.

So no clue what all that is supposed to be about and don't care. He was correctly found Not Guilty but he was a dumbass for being there in the first place. I don't wish him ill and I hope he finds a direction in life. Sounds like he is floundering though.

---

Yup. It should bother anyone that he tried to catapult himself into fame from that incident and trial.

He had his day in court and was found not guilty. Respect the verdict. But anyone who uses an otherwise tragic incident and trial to grift and become a celebrity is a POS. Take the W and go home and live your life.

---

I'd give him a little more grace than that.

First off, he is still young and was thrown into a situation way beyond what you could expect him to handle and he wasn't prepared. I have a 20 year old son who is very mature for his age but he's still a knucklehead half the time and I can't imagine what he would be like going through all of this.

Second, in many things he didn't have a choice. He couldn't slink away into oblivion because many forces were not going to let that happen. So he decided to go on offense. Can't really blame him for that as I don't know that he had a lot of great options. How he handled that specifically is valid but it's a fantasy to think he could just go "live his life" after all of this.

So apparently a A film crew for Tucker Carlson and Fox Nation followed him around during his trial for material to eventually produce a documentary, against the advice of his attorneys? He has announced a video game 'Kyle Rittenhouse's Turkey Shoot', has done the guest appearance tour on all the conservative media talk shows, and his likeness is being used to sell T-Shirts and other souvenirs?

This kid's life unlikely to end well. The machine is going to chew him up and spit him out.

I have to say, having a film crew following you around during your murder trial, to possibly cash in later on a documentary…that is a first. Not sure I have heard that one before.

---

I think that's the real story here. From the beginning his original attorneys were trying to pimp him out and make him a cause. The family fired them.

After the acquittal, his attorney told him to keep a low profile and learn to say No. instead went on a media tour and tried to be a 2nd amendment advocate. He got sucked in by the machine that was using him and that will quickly write him off. In an interview his sister said he has a female handler they think is a really bad influence. It's an old story been happening to young people since the beginning and then he'll hit rock bottom and realize family cares more about you than some random podcast host or outsider.

I think he might already be get written off. He has a new book and isn't appearing at Turning Point USA conference to promote.

GTFO! Every Democrat, including Biden called this kid a white supremacist and murderer even after the truth (video) came out. Dems kept lying for a year until finally the trial put all those lies to bed. He was almost the victim of leftist mob "justice" during that farce of a trial. The Left can't be honest with their moron base and they tried to put Rittenhouse in jail for life on what was so clearly self-defense. Rittenhouse deserves to spike the football and "grift" for the rest of his life.

The only thing Rittenhouse should be grateful for is all the video evidence that night. That pos DA would've gotten all the witnesses to properly lie to get a conviction otherwise.

I might do the same if I was in the same crosshairs as Rittenhouse. Every media outlet portrayed him as a white supremacist vigilante. Did you guys forget President Biden saying the same? The Left not only tried to smear him but also put him in jail for life. I don't blame him at all for trying to cash in.

The Left decided to persecute and prosecute him out of hatred and pandering to people too emotional and stupid to grasp the obvious self-defense aspect of this case.

Most parents probably didn't want these 17 year olds here either:

Without the video, Kyle would have gone to prison most likely. Binger, from the DA's office did some very unethical things, including trying to get a witness to change their story. Judge Schroeder was not that great either as he let Binger get away with far too much.

Ever since the video of him punching that girl game out I figured he had some big character flaws. He definitely seems like the type that chases fame and that's probably why he went that night.

None of that negates the fact that he violated no laws in the incident, and rightfully defended himself.

He's probably a ****tty dude though, so I never invested anything in him beyond not wanting him to be wrongfully convicted.

Risking bodily harm to protect the property of others is 100% virtuous and honorable.

If someday he turns out to be serial killer, that won't undo the good he did that day.

Just saw that video. Looks like several people including a couple of young women involved in a melee. It didn't seem like Rittenhouse started it. This isn't some Ray Rice type of thing.

No, just shows the type of trash he is that he would have hit her regardless.

The girls started the fight and were throwing punches. They got what they deserved.

No message

People just hate Rittnehouse because of the narative that was false. They will never acknloedge the truth about how he was railroaded by an over zealous DA (not Binger, his boss Gravely) to go after a white kid during the BLM crap.

* Binger's boss, Gravely was prosecuting the Zachariah Anderson case. No body. Guy is still listed as missing. ZERO DNA evidence even connecting Anderson to the missing guys home where the blood was found. No DNA evidence in Anderson's vehicles. Nothing connected him to the missing guy other than his Baby Momma was one of many women the missing guy was banging during the same time period. Gravely had his prosecution witnesses so prepared he was mouthing the words they were saying as they were saying them. Judge Schroeder from Rittenhouse fame, presided over this trial as well. He botched it big time.

The tragic part is the destroyed small businesses that the police failed to protect, but the shooting was not tragic, it was needed.

Because like many here I was addicted to his trial and was looking into buying his book. Sometimes I replay the trial as background noise when I'm doing something. The reviews led me to those tweets and surprised me.

You watch reruns of a trial. Are you ****ting me?

I stream live trials if it's an interesting case.

But I wouldn't ever rewatch a trial.

Parts of a trial I will. Watching great lawyering is always instructive in one way or another.

Still not guilty. Also has been thru a helluva a lot psychologically and surely needs help. Instead he's getting "family" and "friends" attacking him. People still trying to get their pound of flesh.

Dude was rightly acquitted. He also demonstrated extremely poor judgement and am not surprised he's dumb as a rock. I'm glad he avoided the unjust criminal charges and I hope he leads a meaningful life from here on but that seems unlikely.

Indeed. The brilliance of Darrel Brooks is unmatched.

Most of the idiots that were accusing Rittenhouse of being some white supremist thought he shot 3 black dudes until the trial started. That's how misinformed the leftist public was on that story

It's been pretty clear from the beginning he's a dumbass who ended up in a bad situation in part due to that fact. It's no surprise his life is floundering since. That doesn't change the fact that he was correctly found not guilty and the people he shot were far worse humans than he is.
