Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old suspected of fatally shooting at least two people and injuring another during protests in Kenosha over the shooting of Jacob Blake, has been arrested, according to local media reports.
Rittenhouse, 17, was arrested in Illinois and has been reportedly charged with first-degree intentional homicide.
Hopefully his family will quickly set up a GO FUND ME campaign for this RIGHTEOUS YOUNG MAN! The ‘RATS know he’ll be found not guilty, they just want to devastate him financially!
He can argue that if he's charged with illegal possession, but if he is I'd say that charge is the least of his worries.
I've see the long range video of the shooting at the car dealership and I have doubts that this Kyle kid was the shooter. There looked like a third person in close proximity when the shot is heard and the person drops. Also, unless he was hit by a ricochet, I can't imagine a .223 causing the wound seen on the man's head in the video and that he would still be moving as the camera approached close to him. Time will tell.
I was saying last night there should be about five million
of us outside that courthouse letting the powers that be
know that we aren’t going to be taking this sitting down.
The first humvee asks the kid directly over speaker if people are hurt/shot.
In the first video, the kid didn’t run from the scene. He is seen trying make a call on his phone. Likely to 911. He didn’t start to run from the first scene until rioters started to threaten him. Also in the first video it opens with him running away from rioters already at that point. So we don’t know what happened before then?
What authorities? I was unaware they were living under martial law in Kenosa.
Oh, so that makes it right.
Good.
When are YOU driving to another state to “get some?”
You aren’t. Because you are not stupid.
17 is a grown man down here in Texas. At 6 months past my 17th birthday I was standing tall and looking good on the yellow foot prints at MCRD San Diego. I had been living on my own for a year having graduated high school at 16 and moved out shortly after.
Yes, new videos of the different angles at the auto garage show the liquid throwing thug continued to chase and threaten the gunman so he shot him in the head. All 3 shootings are clear self-defense. The only argument can be that the shooter is allegedly from Illinois, not Wisconsin and shouldn’t have even been in the state and not carrying a firearm. If so that is probably a big problem for him. Won’t be 1st Degree Murder, but he will face assault charges, maybe even 2nd degree murder. One thing to protect YOUR property and lives, another to travel out of state to administer “justice”. Root cause of all this is anarchy and the dems own it. But Conservatives have to be smarter in how to confront it.
Do you have any background on this case? I saw the video where about 15 people were chasing him (What kind of a moron tries to run down a guy with an AR-15?). Those in pursuit are yelling “Get him, he shot someone.” Did he kill someone before he was chased? If so, was it self-defense? Thanks.
After he shot the first guy he actually circles around the parked car and back to the “victim”. He took out his phone and apparently made a call. If he called 911 that will probably help his defense. Once it becomes apparent that the crowd is going to come after him, he starts running away which leads to the other two shootings. He actually holds back shooting the third guy (who has a pistol himself) who hesitates and looks like he is going to retreat but then makes a really dumb decision and tries to advance on the young man on the ground who then literally “wings” him.
Thanks for calling me on it.
I wouldn’t have realized what I had done.
I would have brought a semi-auto pistol with me instead of
a rifle.
Of course if someone at range wants to give you trouble, it
could be problematic. Perhaps two guns would be better
than one. A rife is too hard to swing around in a crowd.
Of course you don’t want to be in a closed in crowd.
Clearing the area is easy enough though, as the kid revealed.
If you don’t have a twitter account, you should get one....you should see the nonsense that is being posted about this....Kyle is actually trending on twitter and there’s only a few who are defending him, the rest are blm/antifa supporters cheering over the arrest of this ‘white supremacist’
I keep saying it but the police MUST START botching the arrests of these self defenders by screwing up the paperwork/procedures/evidence handling etc.....
simply make it impossible for a conviction.
heck, if they are releasing looters and rioters for nothing, the police might as well screw the gutless prosecutors and lawyers with unconvictable cases to work with
According to Blackstone’s commentaries on English Law (the basis of American law) the right of self-defense is the most fundamental of all rights.
If LG is the 17 year old I fear he has a problem. I'm not aware of any state where a "warning shot" alone couldn't bring a charge. In the air rather than ground, worse. And he was "addressing" a broken window, probably not his car, not a rape or assault. Not a lawyer, but I suspect that's all the prosecutor needs to prove provocation. With provocation there's no self defense defense.
So he was with the militia earlier. Been trying to verify that. So how did he wind up being chased to the car lot all alone? He got lost somewhere.
agreed.
