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.

No evidence that he had racial or political motives from the interviews.
Lefties need racists and white supremacists everywhere to detract from their lies and failures.
Do you think Twitter will censor these lies?
Just heard a bit about this kid on a local Boston talk show.The host was basically saying that this was self defense...nothing resembling murder.
There has also been discussion that the first guy shot in the head was accidentally shot by one of the rioters with a small caliber pistol. There was no exit wound.
The .223 would have done a lot more damage.
The guy who he shot in the arm was pointing a glock at him.
“Your job is to protect your community, whether it’s on the other side of a border a couple miles away or not. Lines don’t matter, blood and friendships do. They are obviously going to try and vilify these guys because they aren’t the cowardly weasels the politicians and LEO administrators are in the affected areas.
“Get ready for the “Nitro Wagon” that’s obviously coming down a bumpy road. The communists don’t have a choice now. There is no way they will win the Presidential election without a Coup. To those who would say they’re gonna mind their own business till the fight comes to their front porch, keep this in mind. If all you’re going to protect is your front porch and not help with the defense of your community, there’s a good chance that no one from the community will show up to defend your porch when the Orcs arrive there.”

This kid and his family are going to need a lot of funds for legal representation. Anybody know of a collection point? GoFundMe and Fundly have taken down their pages.
Forget about him..I WANT TO KNOW, about the sons a “B”s he took care of.
Who the hell were they working for and all that. Every single one. Look at the age of these SOBs.
We know all about this young man who plugged them, but we dont know anything about them.
BTW, did we not hear that the one was yelling shoot N, shoot?
Does that make sense? Then, on that vid, was there not several rounds shot?
I agree it was self defense but is it legal for a 17 year old to carry an AR15 in WI
Deadly force should have been used by the authorities instead of this kid having to risk his life to protect property. In the old days looters would have been shot. Nowadays the looters are not just looting but attacking people because of their color and political beliefs. What this kid did was totally justified and maybe these commies will think twice before going full anarchy again. Just maybe.
Either way, if his parents let that kid go out there with that gun, they are jackasses.
Legally proportionate due to disparity of force. Kid was highly outnumbered.
I have a couple of friends from college who are leftists.
On their Facebook pages, everyone posting says it has been established that white supremacists are doing all this violence and pretending to be antifa or black lives matter.
He’s crazy to be giving an interview.
At close range, yeah. Big ol' chunk of head would be missing at the exit. Coroner/forensics will agree with you I'm betting.
