Join the military at 17 and be sent to a combat zone overseas.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Ruining the rest of his life?

He was doing what the ball-ess people of Kenosha refused to do. Small business owners get that name due to the small sized testicle they posses.

You assume we have functional Courts.

I have seen precious little evidence of this in recent years.

Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old suspected of fatally shooting at least two people and injuring another

Unfortunately, it appears that young grasshopper (17, underage) was in unlawful possession of a weapon, and in the act of committing a crime when he used said weapon to shoot people.

WI Stat § 948.60 (2013 through Act 380), Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.

939.48 Self-defense and defense of others.

As he is from Illinois, and was arrested in Illinois, it is likely he unlawfully transported the firearm across state lines.

From usconcealledcarry:

Yes. Federal law prohibits handgun sales by licensed dealers to persons under 21. Unlicensed dealers are prohibited only from selling handguns to persons under 18. Although Wisconsin state law imposes a minimum age of 18 for possessing long guns, there is no minimum age for handgun possession.

Right, wrong? I don’t know.

I believe that where he lives. It’s only a 30 minute drive as Kenosha is right on the border.

I suppose the Federal law would preempt a Wisconsin law, or lack of one. The usconcealledcarry site doesn’t make that clear.

Yep. Zimmerman was charged too. We all know how that worked out.

Zimmerman might be free but he is a ruined man, a pariah in the eyes of society.

They sure can rapidly deploy when a Leftist gets taken down.

Citizens are on their own when kicked unconscious or killed
by the Left.

Riot, loot, burn businesses to the ground, knock defenders
to the ground and unconscious,... we’ll be right there to
help when you need us.

Sorry, but this really angers me.

“It’s not like he was there to defend Grandpop’s hardware store or Uncle Bob’s car dealership.”

I have aunts, uncles, relatives that live in other nearby states. Whats the problem?

Well, that scum won’t be throwing bricks with that arm for a while. Too bad the shot wasn’t about a foot to his left.

Can confirm. Join the military at 16 on a one year DEP program. Hit MCRD San Diego at 6 months and 3 days after my 17th birthday. So yes the Marine’s absolutely will send a 17yo to combat.

"At 17 was he legally able to carry such a weapon as he had?"

Many states allow youngsters to carry long-guns but not pistols.

You’ll get no argument from me.

It’s pretty clear isn’t it.

Someone will probably have to issue some street justice to
that person they are letting go. Incredible...

I’m glad to see that you admit he was there with no support. A fundamental error that anyone with rudimentary training would not have committed. Would you agree then the boy had no business being there as he was in way over his head? That’s what stands out to me in these videos. A wannabe who bite off far more then he could chew.
