Gilliam stated, “When he had his weapon and he was confronted by these imminent threats of loss of life or serious bodily injury, he engaged in a proper manner to eliminate the threat. You didn’t see him out there hammering people down, mowing people down. It’s when the threat got too close and it posed an imminent threat … he took action.”
Rittenhouse’s control of his firearm was “amazing,” Gilliam emphasized. “[He] held his weapon properly … kept his weapon in his hands when he was getting beat [and] when he was running. He wasn’t sweeping people. He didn’t drop his gun, He held onto it and maintained positive control the whole time with his finger off the trigger.”
Leftist riots would have been prevented had thousands of Americans followed Rittenhouse’s example to defend the peace, Gilliam held.
“He was going to help out a neighborhood that he knew was going to be targeted by violent thugs that burned places down and destroyed businesses and lives,” he observed. “He went there to support those people. If 10,000 people had gone there and done that, none of that stuff would have happened.”
He added, “I commend him even more because he had the guts to go there at 17 years old, and go there and try to help people, take care and save their community. He didn’t do anything wrong.”
Videos of Rittenhouse shooting his attackers revealed “great weapon-handling skills,” Gilliam concluded. Rittenhouse “did not engage targets that were not presenting an imminent threat of loss of life or serious bodily injury

He corrected Tucker on it during the interview.
I found it interesting.

I’m sure he’s had range time, and safety training,unlike some of the gang bangers who fire 100 shots and maybe hit one person by chance, normally an innocent bystander or child sleeping in their bed.
I was most impressed with the shot that disintegrated Grosskreutz’ tricep, if he indeed was trying to neutralize his weapon arm. But in retrospect I think a center mass shot like the one to Huber would have stopped the attack equally well and reduced future appearances on the witness stand still trying to hurt him. Ah well, lessons learned…
As for low life, Democrat, Traitors, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer...they all are throwaway garbage material. I only hope I see Biden and others sued for every penny they have, human, scum & vermin, that they are!!!

Perfectly stated, and anyone not able to see them for the trash that they are is a blithering IDIOT or an anti-American traitor or both!
I find Kyle’s resemblance to Audie Murphy amazing. Murphy won the Congressional Medal of Honor at age 19.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Audie_Murphy.jpg
Whatever he decides to do, I hope he will be safe. He’s a nice young guy.

I hope he’s being tutored on a daily basis to watch his back every moment of the day and night, because there’s probably many nut cases out there who would attempt to take his life simply for the notoriety and the adulation of the ‘rats and the criminal news media.
More of a perfect storm between the 3 Stooges f’ing up — particularly when Lefty failed to retreat — and Kyle keeping his cool.
He’s not going to be happy just sitting back. I would love to see him be a billionaire but I also want him to find life fulfilling work as well.
Given the current command structure no way would I recommend a young person volunteer to serve.
He was turned down by the Navy and the USMC. Life was amazing.
“He would do well at Grove City College. Conservative. Military kids.”
One of my oldest son’s good friends went there. Admission is tough as it is a high-demand school. Not only do the students get a great education, the school does not accept any Federal money, so tuition is actually reasonable. Great school.
I totally get your point. If he waits until Trump is back in WH he’d be OK. I’d like to see a Republican Congress pass laws that forbid things like the vaccine mandate and I’d love to see Trump do the republican version of Obama’s housecleaning.
Watching the video, it was like divine intervention. It is a wonder no innocent bystander was injured.
No innocent bystander was injured due to his level of skill. Not a wonder.
Second time I’ve heard of it. Back in 2003 during the invasion of Iraq, one of the members of the transportation company that made a wrong turn and were captured supposedly used his forward assist when his M16 jammed from the dust and dirt.
I’m not sure I would have. I usually assume the firearm is in battery and am surprised when it clicks because it won’t fire out of battery.
He would definitely not be able to pass the Seal BUD/S training without a lot of PT. But he could be a corpsman for a Marine company.
Nice post brother… well said.
