Go have a look at that website in the first link you gave, https://www.givesendgo.com/GUCZ

Any email or names? No. Just someone “claiming” to be “Friends of the Rittenhouse Family” and located in Atlanta GA which is pretty far from WI. givesendgo doesn’t seem to give any assurances as far as where the money goes and they don’t check anyone out. In their FAQs, they say to make sure you’re familiar with the funding campaign you’re donating to.

I would hold off on donating to fightback.law aka Lin Wood until we know that his team is actually representing Kyle. They probably are or will but simply haven’t gotten there yet.

You should do a little more homework and further evaluate both sites and Wood's statements. But like you say, whatever...

“misdemeanor charge for possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor.”

Since they are charging him as an adult, this shouldn’t apply right? They declared him an adult, can they charge him as a minor?

That is a funny, and good, point.

[lepton]

If they’re charging him as an adult, then he should be able to argue that adults are allowed to possess weapons and therefore that charge is moot.

---

And there’s also the argument that as events unfolded, he clearly needed a firearm, and so it was appropriate to have one.

Just came across the video below. This lawyer with the NRA seems to share your opinion regarding the law:

Presume or assume they all are. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a gun, even a skateboard can be used as a weapon.

I believe that Kyle did have a certificate and training in the use of firearms.

Also note: "a white teen", not the more proper "a White teen". Where is their copy editor? Asleep?

“He faces five felony charges, including first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide, and a misdemeanor charge for possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor.”

They forgot jaywalking and littering. This is an old trick of prosecutors - throw everything but the kitchen sink at the defendant, then offer him a plea bargain to a lesser charge - then crow that they made another conviction.

Then when they run for Governor on a hard-on-crime ticket, they proudly point to their record.

After this week, I will never use my skateboard as a weapon if the other guy has a firearm.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Unless you can use your skateboard faster than he can pull the trigger.

Even with my pumped up kicks, I can’t run faster than the bullet

Nice!
