Editorial: Law officers' actions on night of Rittenhouse shootings need to be investigated
Lake Geneva Regional News ^ | Nov 26 2020

Posted on 11/26/2020 2:22:38 PM PST by Jacob Kell

Kyle Rittenhouse faces two charges of first-degree intentional homicide and a count of attempted homicide. Now the judicial process can begin here.

But there are questions that go beyond whether Rittenhouse is guilty of killing two people on Aug. 26, a night of unrest in Downtown Kenosha following the shooting of a black man by a Kenosha police officer.

Those questions pertain to the actions, or inaction, by law enforcement officers that night.

That was Kyle’s town.

The people he shot were outsiders there to have “room to destroy.”

We need a few thousand more Kyle Rittenhousers.

What is it with law enforcement that they can just look the other way and stop enforcing laws? These were little people out there who are subject to the laws of the land. They were not politicians or elites.

Where were the cops when the SHTF?

We have millions.
I think any of us, put into that situation, would do the same thing. What worries me, is that I might not be able to stop after just two of the lefty, commie, socialist, marxist, rioter, looter, anti-American bussed-in scumbags.

Yet the felon who had his arm shredded has not been arrested for firearm possession.

Unfortunately he wasn’t a felon and had a permit, which is why he hasn’t been arrested.

He was, however, attempting to shoot Mr. Rittenhouse when Mr. Rittenhouse shot him.

Not exactly Kyle’s town. He lived in Illinois.

Do you ever tire of being an empty-headed fakestream presstitute parrot?

It was the closest town to where he lived. It's where he worked and spent his time. There is no border crossing between Illinois and Wisconsin. People are free to go between both states at will.

Evidently you weren't aware of that?

I agree. Total mayhem, and nothing. He defends himself and
they were there in literally 30 seconds.

Equal protection under the law? Ha!

It was more Kyle Rittenhouse’s town than a lot of people causing the trouble.

That's what he claims. Has it been proven?

I seem to remember that he did have a felony on his record. ... or at least that was his record reported shortly after the time of the shooting. Nevertheless, the movies indicate that Mr. Rittenhouse acted in self defense. Mr. “Lefty” had aimed the illegal pistol at Mr. Rittenhouse just before he was shot. He actually tried to trick Mr. Rittenhouse into lowering his rifle before he was going to shoot him.

The police were holding the line, two blocks away.

But he did not live there.

That’s the only point I was saying.

If you want to make a hero out of the kid, have at it. I honestly don’t care. But let’s keep the “hero” stories accurate. That’s all.

He did what keyboard warriors like many on the Internet and on this very forum won’t do, are too cowardly to do, or too lazy to do...to go out and stand against these people burning, looting, and committing violence.

He was out wiping graffiti off a wall earlier in the day. That’s a 17 year old acting like a man.

Were that there were more people like him, we wouldn’t be in this fix. So I give him credit where it is due instead of giving him an attitude like yours. You say you “honestly don’t care”.

Maybe you should start caring.
