What really happened with those Kenosha shootings; Here's a point-by-point chronology so far as is known and thus far, the radical left rioters do not look good

Violence broke out late Tuesday night during a spat of BLM infighting in Kenosha, WI, leaving one critically wounded and two dead after a small band of armed men carrying rifles and wearing symbols affiliated with the Libertarian Party found themselves the target of a violent mob.

The multiracial libertarian group had been initially supportive of the BLM rioters, immersing themselves in the crowd and clenching their fists while repeating various phrases associated with the movement. “As long as you f*** with the government and not with each other, we are with you. No lives can matter until black lives matter!” one of the men said, the Libertarian Party’s porcupine symbol emblazoned on his shirt. The group then proceeded to march down the road, stopping at a boarded up gas station and milling about as protestors marched by.

The crowds swelled as the night went on, becoming more confident and aggressive. A band of rioters went into the gas station parking lot to harass the armed libertarians, enraged that they would not be able to loot and vandalize as they pleased. One white rioter walked right up to the armed men and proceeded to taunt them, calling them the n-word. “Shoot me n***a! Shoot me n***a! Bust on me n***a fo’ real!”

The situation escalated, and that is exactly what happened.

We’ll see if he can get a fair trial in that jurisdiction. Just because he’s in the right doesn’t mean it was prudent to put himself in harm’s way.

America and its younger generation is in dire need of new Christian conversion.

It seems many are looking to believe in something, but are pursuing all kinds of false, violent, materialist, worldly ideologies.

The things Grant did get right are that Kyle and his comrades were not there to oppose the legitimate BLM protestors, they aren't white supremacists, and his actions were entirely consistent with self defense.

I think WI has laws against people under 17 open carrying.

Here is what the government of Wisconsin says about the topic:

Persons under age 18 may not possess firearms for non-hunting purposes unless accompanied by an adult, except that persons ages 14–17 who have completed Hunter Education can possess legal shotguns and rifles without being accompanied by an adult.
Source

If one of the other people who spent the evening with Rittenhouse was an adult, then nothing about Rittenhouse's possession of a rifle was illegal. If Rittenhouse took the Wisconsin hunter education course the same thing is true.

The young man shouldn’t have been there but I think he was justified in shooting his assailants.

I’ve repeatedly seen Klantifa types using skateboards as weapons. What the hell is it with these morons and skateboards? They don’t make for very good weapons.

In this case the thug with the skateboard was a convicted felon who was not allowed to own or bear arms. So was the one who was shot in the arm and is clearly pictured holding a gun. That is itself is a felony. He needs to be arrested and charged for it - in addition to assault with a deadly weapon for his attack on Rittenhouse.

The guy that got shot in the arm had a long list of domestic assaults and had his pistol illegally.

You could say he was...disarmed.

100% chance in the wake of his acquittal we will see more riots, just like with the acquittal of the officers in Minneapolis.

What happened is simple.

If this was in fact a law and order country then the police would have handled the problems and citizens would not have felt compelled to step in and protect businesses.

What happened in Kenosha is a direct result of independence on the behave of the government. The blood is on their hands.

This is slightly off topic but why was he alone? They went after him because he had been separated from the herd.

He was with his buddies at the gas station. He never should have left on his own.

In that situation, always move in a group, at the very least in twos, never by yourself.

The reason they use the skateboard is because they can carry and not be accused of carrying a weapon.

I read or heard somewhere that Rittenhouse lives in another state and traveled there...?
