"That language is a bit ironic, the guy who was shot and lived will now always be known as the “one armed dude”"

Or "Lefty".

I think they said he is being held in a juvenile detention facility in IL

Proverbs 18:17: "He who pleads his cause first seems right; until another comes and questions him."

Just like with Nick Sandmann, the media crucified this until the truth comes out. I hope he sues their shorts off just like Nick did.

Great post. Thank you.

I feel completely energized after reading his lawyer’s statement.

4chan thinks they have tracked down the other shooter. They are archiving everything and sending it to Kyle’s atty.

“He was doing the job the cops wouldn’t do.”

Yes, it took a single, lone young patriot to step into the void left by a criminal-supporting governor and mayor, and police who obeyed when ordered to not do their duty to protect the civil rights and safety of the people. I’ve been waiting to see who would rise to the occasion to take out the trash. Adults stood by and watched their monuments being torn down, cities looted and put to the torch and the laws flaunted. The “men” of America were cowardly, passive sheep. Kyle has changed that now, and he has become a hero, a brave male Joan of Arc, whose bravery will be followed by that of others. I predict that Kyle will be remembered and praised long after this embarrassing time for our country’s manhood has passed.

Well, this is finally the first time I’ve seen an explanation of how he got separated from his unit.

Often, sh*t happens. Truckers take a wrong turn into a mob area, and get beat up. A road can end up in a dead end, with an attacker blocking your retreat. Etc. This brave boy handled the situation extremely well considering overwhelming odds against him. I expect a movie will be made chronicling his ordeal, culminating in being declared innocent in court.

I want to see the Democrats try to make heroes of the dead.

Do you suppose they'll put up a statue in the public square, to replace one of the ones that had been torn down?

The "white supremacy" these miscreants claim to oppose only means protection of life and property.

There was an article from ABC trying to make the three assailants heroes. The article said that the 1st punk, 36 years old, “threw a plastic bag at Kyle and attempted to take the weapon from him. Yeh, sure, ... threw what we are to believe was a harmless plastic bag toward a guy holding a gun...Crappy reporting as usual.

Oh, and then that 26 year old skateboarder ... ABC reports...”According to court records, [punk #2] had a skateboard in his right hand and used it to ‘make contact’ with Rittenhouse’s left shoulder as they struggled for control of the gun.” Yeh, right “make contact” ....

And the 3rd punk, the “medic” with a hand gun that he approached [Kyle] after punk #2 was shot. No one asked why does a “medic” wears black at a nighttime protest, and why would a “medic” with nothing but “peaceful intentions” carries a loaded handgun.

None of the 3 punk commies appear to be from Kenosha. One of them will be called to testify, and it won’t be a good day for him when cross examination occurs. Those two facts (black garbed medic and gun) plus more ... like his membership in Antifa and riot history will become part of the case.

OUTSTANDING! I hope the attorneys are archiving ALL the online stuff. It WILL begin to be “disappeared”.

He’s a minor, not sure he’ll be bail eligible. In CA minors aren’t eligible for bail, don’t know about IL. Usually minors who commit infractions that aren’t considered dangerous are released to the custody of their parents.Obviously, with the ridiculous murder one charge, he’d be considered dangerous.

Amen. His pluses outweighed his minuses a thousand to one.

That guy needs to be convicted for his crimes that night and bankrupted. I can think of other names for him that are unfit to print here.

Yes, ... the blood of the deceased and injured punk mercenaries not from Kenosha is on the hands of the mayor and governor. Had they done their jobs, enforced the law and made a show of force ... none of this would have happened. These two politicians are despicable.

That being said, the system has to work its process now. I have no doubt there will be a trial. Hopefully this kid will be acquitted.

I’d like to know if he had a registered gun, and does he have conceal carry in WI? Of course the DA won’t go there because it will further undermine his case.

Come on, guys. Look at the videos. That attacker did NOT “get his arm shot off” or “his upper arm blown off.” It was just a large-cavity soft tissue wound— the part of the skin and muscle, mostly biceps, just above the inner crook of the arm (front part of elbow joint area), that is, the distal biceps area just proximal to the antecubital fossa. There appeared to be no fracture at all of the arm bone (humerous) or elbow joint at all—the entire right upper extremity had normal appearing structural integrity (no weird angles, no floppiness, no abnormal bending, no exposed bone), and he was still gripping and had control of his handgun. That’s just a very typical soft tissue wound from a high velocity round at an angle in and almost immediately out of soft tissue only. There still could be a fracture of the humerus, but if so, it was salvageable.
