The Rittenhouse shootings were the next logical step of violent riots, combined with government leaders who allow them to occur. What happens when the right to riot collides with the natural rights or life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Or more specifically, the right to life, i.e., the right to self defense?
It may be a new normal in 2020, but we build courthouses for a reason: to sort out the facts, and apply the law. The difficult part is to ensure a fair trial without the media poisoning the potential jury pool with misinformation, and misnomers, such as “armed vigilante,” “assault rifle,” “peaceful protestors,” and so on, and to let the true facts fall where they may. In the end, our Founders demanded, and ensured, that we have the right to a jury of our peers for a very good reason. That’s the only thing standing in between an individual in this position, and a lifetime of being locked away in a cage.
The facts can be sorted out. There are multiple videos of the incident. There will be many pictures and screenshots, and slow motion, or frame by frame versions of the incidents. Easier to determine is, what sort of laws will be applied here?
He was not a Wisconsin resident, he was underage to own or possess a firearm in Wisconsin and he also violated a curfew for all people. From the Illinois-Wisconsin state line to the Kenosha-Racine county border also from Interstate 94 to Lake Michigan.
The first person he shot was on video provoking saying shoot me wanting a fight really bad
The rifle wasn’t transported over state lines.
If he’s being charged as an adult then they shouldn’t be able to charge him with an underage in possession of weapon. That’s not even logical and the courts really shouldn’t allow it. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Kyle Rittenhouse is absolutely innocent and showed restraint well beyond his years and control of his firearm that most people will never be able to do. That young man is a good American who went there to help the local business people and was even giving medical assistance to rioters or anyone in need. He shouldn’t of ever been charged. Thankfully it’s all on video and the truth will set him free. His mother is extremely proud of her son and she should be!
What will happen is they will keep him locked up ,his bale is set so high he probably will stay in jail to make him take a plea deal. That's the way our system works unless you are rich.
Kyle showed more restraint than many policemen I've seen, and he is clearly capable of handling the weapon. The lesson of the strap.
I am from Wisconsin, I was under the impression we have the castle doctrine, except in the case of a public servant (no-knock), or in the event that the property owner is engaging in criminal activity. However, you may not be protected in the case of a bystander being injured.
Edit:spelling
It is legal for all adults unless they are prohibited from possession of . Furthermore, minors that are 16 years of age or older can openly carry long , provided they are not considered "short-barreled rifles" or "short-barreled shotguns" and are not otherwise prohibited from possession of . I googled wisconsin gun laws.
More honest people need to Arm themselves and defend themselves with deadly force. If they did this communist shit would end fast!
Oh Well…
Arnt you part of the militia at 17? Thats a right. Funny how none of the criminals got charged, typical tyrannical gov
BTW, John, do you have a regular time you air "Freedom is Scary"?

The video paused around 9:52.
Areas run by Democrats are always lawless.
