Interviews With Alleged Kenosha Shooter Kyle Rittenhouse
RedState ^ | August 26, 2020 | Nick Arama

There’s a lot of attention to the shooting of multiple people last night in Kenosha.

Police have arrested 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse and charged him with murder.

Liberals are already off to the races, calling him a “white supremacist” murderer and of course, always blaming President Donald Trump. Of course there is nothing to support this, his background simply suggests he was supportive of the police.

But if you look at the video, there are likely going to be big problems with legally trying to make that stick.

While all the facts are not yet clear, enough facts have come out to suggest that he may have been protecting himself, the question may be was his response a legally proportionate response to the attacks on him.

If you look at the video progression of what happened that we have available, the first video shows Rittenhouse allegedly running into a service station, being chased and attacked, with something being thrown something at him. That first shooting happens, he calls someone, possibly 911 while the Daily Caller’s Richie McGinness tries to give medical aid to the guy who was shot, taking off his shirt to use to staunch the bleeding in his head.

Gun wielding....

“Child Kills Registered ....gun wielding....Sex Offender Who chased Him On The Street.”

The medi has an agenda, and they are not going to need facts.

I'm not trying to be combative......I'm just saying it really depends (type of round etc), and we won't know until there is an autopsy.

We had a guy get shot in the head with a 7.62x39. The bullet didn't fully penetrate the skull, but skipped up and into his kevlar, and then rode the curvature of his skull and out the back. Crazy things happen.

Anyhow, shipmate - I never made it to OEF; spent it all in OIF.

Semper.

Well you have the experience and have seen things no man should ever have to see. I’ve shot at paper and have seen Youtube videos. Yeah, probably best to see what the autopsy reveals.

We didn’t really have an equivalent to Semper Fi in the navy when I was in... maybe “Anchors Aweigh” or “Drink to the foam?” I dunno. I’ll just say oorah in response.

He was also charged with two counts of reckless endangerment, and with possessing a dangerous weapon as a minor

Looks as if the tuff guy that got his arm half blown off opened his smart mouth.

Said he should have shot Kyle. Now that’ll really help thing out in a court room...HA! I can just see his smart ass on the stand trying to explain that one out.

They’ll drop the charges after making a big stink about it all. Or, they’ll try to negotiate the charges down. Eff em, take it to trial. Then Kyle should sue the livin hell out of the city and state.

From what I have seen of the deceased and injured, they were all useful idiots with long records ranging from pedophilia and assault.

It doesn't say... Shall not be infringed, unless you cross State lines. It doesn't say Shall not be infringed, but only if you are over some arbitrary age. It doesn't say Shall not be infringed, but only as long as some petty jackass doesn't get their knickers in a twist over it.

It also doesn't say "but not if you're a felon convicted of murder" or "but not if you're standing in the front row of where the President is about to give a speech" either.

Are we clear?

Yes. You think a six year old has the right to carry a loaded gun to his kindergarten class because the Second Amendment doesn't list that as an exception.

Yes. An armed playground is a polite playground.

Not sure about your emotionally stunted BS... But I started teaching my kids home safety relatively early. Knives are sharp, fire burns, look both ways before crossing the street, etc...

Also, felons used to get their full Rights restored after their sentences were served. The further we've gotten from that, the most recidivism we've seen.

Execute the murders, pedo's, and rapists... Give the rest a chance to change their lives around.

Well, it’s great that you trust your 6 year old with carrying a loaded firearm to kindergarten because he/she is so well-trained. You just better hope that every other 6 year old exercising their constitutional right to carry to kindergarten is equally well-trained in firearms, and disciplined in their use.

You can continue with your idiot line of reasoning and carrying water for the anti-gun left, or... You can just grow up and join the rest of the adults in the room.

Exactly what is idiotic? You made the argument that because the Constitution doesn't contain an age limitation, any "arbitrary" age limit on carrying weapons is unconstitutional. I'm simply pointing out the absurdity of your point.

Better it gets pointing out by another conservative in a conservative forum, than some lefty hangs you out to dry in front of some swing voters when it matters.

Saying that the Second Amendment is limited to adults is something with which a great many gun owners would agree.

It's only absurd in your mind. It used to be that grade school kids would go plinking after school with .22's...

Do you REALLY think we're better off with your arbitrary age restrictions? That children are not longer taught to respect and use these types of tools? Even the Founders advocated that children be taught firearms basics.

“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
- Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788

If so, you really don't have anything more of value to add to the discussion.
