On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people who attacked him, during the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, killing two, in claimed self-defense. There is no question he was attacked. It is all on video. As of this writing, the jury is in deliberations. We should know the results soon.
One result was reached before the jury was given their final instructions. The weapons possession charge against Kyle Rittenhouse was dismissed by Judge Schroeder. This author has written the charge should never have been made. There were reasons to keep the charge. It served several political purposes.
Dominick Black started dating Kyle’s sister, McKenzie, in 2020. Kyle and Dominick grew close. They called each other brother.
In May of 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse, his close friend Dominick Black, Kyle’s sister, McKenzie, who was dating Dominick, and a couple of other people traveled to Dominick’s family acreage in northern Wisconsin, near Ladysmith. The family has a 13-acre property with an old gravel pit used as a gun range.
About May 1, 2020, Dominick Black purchased a gun with money provided by Kyle. The agreement was that Dominick would retain legal and physical possession of the rifle until Kyle reached the age of 18. Then Dominick would transfer legal and physical possession of the rifle to Kyle. One of the reasons Kyle wanted an AR15 type rifle was because Dominick had purchased his own AR15 type rifle 2-3 months earlier. Kyle would turn 18 eight months later.

Sad to say it doesn’t look good for Kyle. I heard the jury is deadlocked half and half which tells me they are being pressured by the Marxist domestic enemies to convict.
Has anyone said anything yet why a convicted felon was in possession of a handgun at the riots?
If he is because of mob rule this will have repercussions for us all in protecting ourselves and our families from the murdering looting burning mob army of the deep state rats and GOP and a means to confiscate our guns
I’m getting my rioters mixed up, thank you.
It was clear and should have been never before the jury. It was prejudicial for them to believe going in Kyle was not allowed legally to carry the gun. That’s a big deal.
Judge didn’t want to make an actual decision. Kyle’s lawyers didn’t press him. Everything should have stopped until that issue was sorted out. He could take it on emergency appeal. Million dollar defense. Fifty sent job performance.
This is the globalist communist agenda. Make all their political enemies weak at the hands of their street thugs they use to terrorize.
If this isn’t justified self defense then Wisconsin is is done me with the 2nd amendment.
This is about “big bad guns” and ending the 2A. Just having a gun is provocation and you have no right to defend yourself.
All the hundreds of hours of high res drone footage. Where are the charges against the rioters and arsonists?
They’re charging Black with straw purchase.
Why isn’t anyone talking about that? This clearly wasn’t an illegal straw purchase
My understanding is that he was at the time of the riot and they’ve exsponged his record since.

Black is not charged with a straw purchase, because it wasn't an illegal "straw purchase".
They charged him with a Wisconsin statute, which the misinterpreted.
It is all in the article.
You may be referring to the fact the Prosecutors dismissed a failure to take a breathalyzer and DUI charges a couple of days before the trial.
Myself and others here at FR have stated the same, but a poster here at FR has recently stated that a felony conviction had been expunged. This is the first time I had seen that statement.
Any input on that?
Ha - should have read the entire thread before posting!
Bet you an ice cream bar there were MORE THAN ONE FELON ARMED at that riot....
ONE or two Convictions???
Dig deeper, FRiend.
Another thread this Am listed his behavior-—and it wasn’t pretty.
Sorry-—The one with the long lost of bad behavior was “Jump-Kick Man”.
How is the judicial system even going to function in the future? It will be near impossible to find 12 objective people at random anywhere and not have one or more woke bots living an alternate reality.
Virtually every jury will be hung.
