This was just insane.

On Tuesday night two people were killed in the continued violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
It appears it is the same shooter.
There is video of the suspect shooting one rioter in the head.
Then the same suspect is chased down the street and attacked by the mob, getting beat by skateboards
Raw Story reported:
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, was charged Wednesday with first-degree intentional homicide in a shooting late Tuesday during a clash between protesters of police brutality and right-wing militia group members.
The militia members had gathered to protect a gas station from looters and vandals, and video shows police offer Rittenhouse water shortly before the shooting and thank him for being there.
It’s Kyle.

It’s not chicken out....it’s a job for the police.
People are dead and at least one life ruined....didn’t work out too well.

He should be charged with a weapons violation, under 18 w a firearm, and crossing state lines to riot.
To: Responsibility2nd
the kid did much better than 90% of police would in a similar situation. When you see the ENTIRE video evidence, it’s shocking how level headed he stayed the entire time.
To: Responsibility2nd
Interesting... leaving the scene? That might have been wise. Then again, could he have been identified?

Everybody now is waiting for the filth to pass him by.
Likeley it won’t work that way, even in a remote area such as where I live.
The big question here is whether the law will set out to support the resident who knows and lives by his castle law, and his right to stand his ground; or whether they will champion the oppressed and under-served savage.
Doing the right thing won’t be easy.
Many of us will be forced to make that choice

Yes. I will back off my claim the kid was totally in over his head.
He clearly had some weapons training. But...
One thing I see Antifa/BLM doing right is how they follow their Soros funded training. These bastards know how guerilla warfare works.
Kyle should have masked up. Should have gone camo. Should NOT have walked openly in the street inviting attacks.
Fire, retreat, regroup, reload, repeat.

This kid broke every rule of combat training. It seems as through there was not much of a plan.
When you go into a known hostile area, you better have a plan that consists of more than "The rioters can be there, and so can I".
What was the objective of being there? Someone suggested on a thread that he was helping to protect a relative's gas station.
If so, what was the OPORD?
Specifically how do you handle contact with a hostile force? Commo? Falling back to a safe position? What to do when you lose contact with your team? Cover? Concealment? Location of Rally Point? Anything?

The first victim was actually chasing Rittenhouse, and there is no reason that has been publicly stated. After the first person was shot, Rittenhouse makes a call. Then he is chased again before trying to turn himself in.
Because of his age, I don't think he should have been there. But having people protect businesses was necessary, and we don't know if they had come under attack.
A lot of unanswered questions at this point.

Thanks for letting me know.

“He should have stayed home. Now his life is ruined.”
The kid’s a big LEO supporter/enthusiast. He’ll certainly get to learn a lot more about the criminal justice system.
I think it’s a truism that those who go looking for trouble usually find it.

Not a wise move to put yourself into a situation where there’s likely to be violence. Don’t ever go looking for trouble. HOWEVER...
Once he was in the middle of things, he was clearly making every effort to disengage, but was hounded by violent criminals intent on causing him grave bodily injury. Even the first shoot, he was being chased by someone throwing something (I’ve heard molotov cocktail and I’ve heard brick in a plastic bag - either is a deadly weapon) while attempting to run away. Shouldn’t be hard for a jury to find him not guilty of any sort of murder or manslaughter charge.
Still not a smart move showing up in the first place. Particularly not at 17 when the state says it’s illegal to open carry until age 18.

Excellent points. See my post 50.
You outlined the needed operative much better than I did.
We need to realize. BLM/Antifa have had guerilla warfare training. Poor Kyle surely could have used some basic training as well.

He wasn’t “bussed in”. He was there to help defend a friends business. Maybe you see how those are different things.

Yep, good summary. His being 17 in another state really complicates this for him and his family. Righteous shoot as it seemed to be, he is going to go through Zimmerman hell for it.
