BLM and Antifa are stockpiling their torches for the post-verdict riots.
Soros is busing illegals into urban areas to participate in the chaos.
re: “What’s Really on Trial in the Rittenhouse Case?”
Self defense.
Change my mind.
Whether the state media can fabricate a story and convict someone one it.
A lot of people thought they were actually black.
The 2nd amendment.
The right to bear arms.
Change my mind.
Western civilization.
IMO..thought is that the prosecution knows they have lost. So they have switched to defending the rioters.
The persecution does not rest. Self defense may soon be the default position for everybody. On trial or not, it shall be our last line of defense.
When seconds count, a call to 911 may become an endless exercise in futility, as there shall be no police to respond, given the current assault on historic means of keeping order.
I hope this trial encourages many more people to escape the progressive / propaganda media bubble
The failure of “progressivism” is becoming obvious to some people.
From what I have seen the shootings were self defense and he should be acquitted.
What bothers me here is the failure of parenting which allowed the 17 year old to be in harms way. Why did Rittenhouse’s parents allow a 17 year old to cross state lines with a rifle to a town to become involved in a riot? As a parent I would not allow a minor to leave the house at night with a rifle to go to a city where violence was occurring in the streets. The 17 year old, male or female, would have stayed at home and the gun would have been under lock and key. Why would any parent allow a minor child to become involved in dangerous street violence?
He was young , inexperienced and one would assume untrained but he only fired when he absolutely had to - when he was microseconds away from death himself.
I can easily see why the Left chose to go after him: they want to conduct their criminal actions without the fear of armed folks stopping them. Our Right to Bear Arms got in their way.
I agree. Self defense vis-a-vis owning a firearm.... Right to keep and bear arms....
Bingo.
The 2nd amendment.
The right to bear arms.
Change my mind.
The truth is not eligible for editing.
and all of the rioters were from Kenosha? Doubt it.
You apparently have not been paying much attention to many of the details of the case.
If you go back and try to understand Kyle Rittenhouse and his life and motives, etc., you might have the answers to some of your questions.
I seem to recall that he crossed state lines without a rifle. The rifle was already in state at a friend's or relative's house, where he picked it up.
