They will say (And I am NOT agreeing with this) that the fact that he showed up at the “protest” with a firearm he had prior intent.

If he was not at a single point, “defending” his ground, he is screwed.

This is standard procedure in any homocide investigation. They cannot just let people walk away. There must be an investigation and a court appearance or jury trial- like it or not. It probably is wise not to be out on the streets when rioting is going on, and less wise to carry a long fire arm openly.

I agree with your take on it.

My concern is what transpired before that.

Had he fired his weapon prior to that? If not, good luck
getting any charge at all to stick.

Wisconson is an open carry state:

I think we all know what DA stands for in Wisconsin.

Dumb Ass...

They are not even charged with possession of fireworks, let alone major crimes.

Feds need to take charge of this mess. Interview their suspect and pursue his cooperation. Cooperative witness in a federal investigation. Hopefully the DOJ can step in to protect the rights of all citizens. If an Investigation finds he was the victim, use the DOJ to pursue charges against the violent attackers.

He’s going to need a team of super-lawyers because the Democrats will have such a team.

First degree is overreach.
He gets off.

He shouldn’t even be arrested.

They are already calling him a “white supreemist terrorist”. Totally predictable. Suddenly, law enforcement is able to do its job! Shazam!!

Sure were quick to nab this kid though..... strange that.

Not really, the kid lives in Antioch when is only a half hour drive from Kenosha. It's apparent that he went home then turned himself in..which was a smart thing to do.

"Steady. Get a good attorney and make your case. Justice should prevail."

No it won't.

I said this last night that the person who defends themselves from this mob will end up in prison or wrecked financially or both.

Even if you win in court against these malicious prosecutions, you still lose everything you have ever worked for and in most cases will never recover. On the other side of the coin NOTHING ever happens to the DAs bringing these malicious cases.

There is nothing more dangerous to our Republic than corrupt prosecutors who are untouchable. These horrible people guarantee we go full on $hithole banana republic.

We are in serious trouble.

Evidently Rittenhouse was part of a “Police Explorer” program in an Illinois town about 30 min from Kenosha.

And so it starts. As Mr. Lincoln said: “The War is forced upon us.” They will try to “Get” the shooter for the act of self defense—Once Trump is re-elected he can pardon him.

Well, two out of three isn’t too bad.

I’m thinking this guy may be thinking about a career choice
today.

>has been reportedly charged with first-degree intentional homicide

There’s a video of every attack against him, showing the aggressor attacking him and getting shot as a result. Each one involved deadly force (first guy with a molotov cocktail and a pipe, second guy with a skateboard, third guy had a pistol).
