The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is over. He’s been found not guilty of all charges. He’s a free man. He’s a patriot. He’s a hero. And if you believe in the rule of law and the right to self-defense, this is a win. The national nightmare for this young man is over. He was the subject of political persecution, being charged for shooting two men and wounding another during the 2020 Kenosha riots. Two men, Joe Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber were trying to kill him. he shot them in self-defense. The video evidence clearly shows that. Gaige Grosskreutz, who survived, admitted to being shot once he approached Rittenhouse armed with a handgun. What’s worse are the lies that have emanated from this incident. They are many and outrageous. Miranda Devine on The New York Post picked the top ten. Once you read them, you can figure out why the Left’s reaction was…interesting. And by that, I mean totally based on fake news (via NY Post):

The central media narrative is that Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist whose mother drove him across state lines with an AR-15 to shoot Black Lives Matter protesters. All lies.

“A white, Trump-supporting, MAGA-loving Blue Lives Matter social media partisan, 17 years old, picks up a gun, drives from one state to another with the intent to shoot people,” was typical from John Heilemann, MSNBC’s national affairs analyst.

So, let’s go through 10 lies about Rittenhouse, debunked in court:

1. He killed two black BLM protesters. All three of the men he shot in self-defense during violent riots in Kenosha on Aug. 25 last year were white.

2. He crossed state lines. He lived 20 miles from Kenosha in Antioch, Ill., with his mother and sisters. But his father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousins and best friend live in Kenosha. He had a job as a lifeguard in Kenosha and worked a shift on Aug. 25 before helping clean graffiti left by rioters at a local school. There, he and his friend were invited to join other adults who had been asked by the owners of a used car lot in Kenosha to guard the property after 100 cars had been torched the previous night, when police abandoned the town to rioters. Kyle took his gun to protect himself, since the rioters were violent and armed, including, for instance, Antifa medic Gaige Grosskreutz, who lunged at him with a loaded Glock pointed at his head before he was shot in the arm.

3. Rittenhouse took an AR-15 across state lines. Esquire accused him of “terrorist tourism.” False. His rifle was kept in a safe at his best friend’s stepfather’s house in Kenosha.

4. The gun was illegal. Wrong. Under Wisconsin law, he was entitled to possess the AR-15 as a 17-year-old. The judge dismissed the gun charge, which the prosecution never should have brought.

There are six more lies Devine points out, one of which involves the lies about Rittenhouse wearing medical gloves to cover his fingerprints. Uh, he was administering first aid—also his face is visible. The first is the biggest lie that seems to have eaten away at the Left’s mind like cancer. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, delivered a scathing statement about the verdict that was a straight lie. First, the Kenosha protests were sparked by the officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake, who is still alive. Maloney said he was killed. It also was neck-deep in the insinuation that this was a racially motivated shooting, or at the very least that the victims were black. Rosenbaum and Huber are white dudes. And this was not a BLM protest. It was a riot.

The media and their allies appear to be really upset about the black rioters that Kyle Rittenhouse never shot.

“Why is a 17 year old asked to do this? Why are adults putting a juvenile in a dangerous situation?“

A legit question .
But that led me to an even bigger question.

Why is there no blame being laid at the feet of those who allowed this toxic mess and toxic environment to form ?

The left CREATED these riots and the violent environment and didn’t do anything to de escalate things.

They let the violence build and egged if on.
People like Rittenhouse were thrust in the middle of it and did the best they could .

The leftists that created this toxic mess SHOULD BE THE ONES HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

Many 17-Year-Olds have performed heroically in the past.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Murphy's older sister helped him to falsify documentation about his birthdate in order to meet the minimum-age requirement for enlisting in the military. 

 

Audie Leon Murphy (20 June 1925 – 28 May 1971) was an American soldier, actor, songwriter, and rancher. He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. He received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. Murphy received the Medal of Honor for valor that he demonstrated at the age of 19 for single-handedly holding off a company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in January 1945, then leading a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition.

“The leftists that created this toxic mess SHOULD BE THE ONES HELD ACCOUNTABLE.”

Agree

“I was 17 when I joined the Air Force.”

So was my father, with permission from his parents.

But has nothing to do with this situation.

“(a) A person commits endangering the life or health of a child when he or she knowingly: (1) causes or permits the life or health of a child under the age of 18 to be endangered; or (2) causes or permits a child to be placed in circumstances that endanger the child’s life or health.”

The owners of the car lot say they didn’t ask Kyle for his help. If he had been injured or killed, his parents could have brought charges against them and they would have had convince a jury that they didn’t.

“It is hard to tell age sometimes”

In a dangerous situation, it’s up to the adult to find out.
Ignorance is no excuse.

What about 17 year old BLM and Antifa thugs burning the city down - did THEY belong there? Were their parents responsible for anything?

“What about 17 year old BLM and Antifa thugs burning the city down - did THEY belong there? Were their parents responsible for anything?”

Of course. Especially if they weren’t the parents and were adult strangers enlisting minors to commit dangerous acts.

[SuperLuminal]

Thxs...

[Elsie]

...they would have had convince a jury that they didn’t.

I think that proof of GUILT is still required; thus:

The prosecutor would have to convince a jury that they DID.

[DoodleDawg]

Don’t they still have to try to sell cars in Kenosha?

Hard to do if facing perjury charges wouldn't you think?

Who am I going to believe Mr. Kyle Rittenhouse or a couple of foreign raghead brothers ?

Thinking...Thinking...

I’ll take American Patriots for $500 please, Alex. (Yeah I know he’s dead.)

[DoodleDawg]

Who am I going to believe Mr. Kyle Rittenhouse or a couple of foreign raghead brothers ?

And yet it was the 'foreign raghead brothers' whose property Rittenhouse said he was there to defend. Big mistake on his part, huh? Must not have known their ethnicity ahead of time.

[nuconvert]

Technically, yes. But I think a jury would be swayed in this case to put the reasonable doubt on Kyle’s side and find the owners guilty. I’m sure Kyle’s lawyer put the fear in them by suggesting that they could be charged.

Black Rifle Coffee threw the 2A and all firearms owners under the bus when they blindly sided with the MSM/BLM and proclaimed Rittenhouse guilty without a trial.
