I think it's important we really drive the point home: Kyle Rittenhouse is not only innocent, he is an actual hero. He stepped up when the police gave up on the citizenry without a fight.

I saw a couple comments saying, "Oh He's nOT GuilTY, bUt iT WAs stiLL sTUPid of hiM to bE thERE!" No. You are retarded if you believe that.

Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty
Black people outraged! https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/11/19/kyle-rittenhouse-found-not-guilty-on-all-charges

Rittenhouse’s lawyers argued he had a right to carry the semi-automatic rifle he brought to the demonstration and had acted in self-defence after being attacked.

But civil rights and anti-racism groups in the US denounced Friday’s verdict as a “travesty”.

“Rittenhouse’s trial highlights an urgent need for reform for both police and the criminal legal system. The system is broken, and it desperately needs to be fixed,” Shaadie Ali, interim executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Wisconsin, said in a statement.

    It doesn't seem like promoting so much as commentary about the incident, and of course that wasn't ruled murder. It's hard to want those guys Rittenhouse shot to have lived, they were bad hombres.

    I saw a relevant comment on twitter: If you are in shock over the verdict, get better news sources.

    [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

    The bigger question is: if you don't want a law against reckless endangerment that leads to homicide, do you really want armed teenagers walking around shooting anyone who gets close to them? Perhaps this law?: reckless endangerment that leads to homicide is legal IF you kill people who aren't likable.

    [–]jet199 5 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 4 fun -  (2 children)

    do you really want armed teenagers walking around shooting anyone who gets close to them?

    What's this got to do with the Rittenhouse case?

    The dead guy literally told the kid he'd kill him if he saw him on his own.

    It wasn't anything like just getting closer to him. There was a legitimate threat.

    Again with the fantasy scenarios.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    So - an unarmed, obviously crazy person tells you that he'd kill you if he saw you on your own - and this justifies putting 4 bullets in him immediately? If you want people to shoot at you because you've said something threatening, then - by all means - appeal to lawyers to change the law, clarifying that anyone who annoys a person with a gun should be shot.

    [–]Noam_Chomsky 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

    reckless endangerment that leads to homicide is legal IF you kill people who aren't likable the key witness admits during cross examination that the defendant was acting in self defense.

    You know that this is cherry picking

    It is apparent to anyone who reads your comments that you are willfully misinformed.

    The prosecuting attorney literally facepalmed himself after his witness told the court it was self defense.

    He admitted it was self defense. It's in the public record.

    Subjectively omitting the relevant factual info is cherry picking.

    The jurors were not allowed to know the attacker's criminal records, it wasn't a factor in the trial, just a comforting note for all us viewers at home.

    if you don't want a law against reckless endangerment that leads to homicide

    You must be talking about something else, because this was ruled self-defense.

    [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    It's an acquittal (the jury didn't say it's self-defense; they ruled that the prosecutors did not provide sufficient proof for a guilty verdict).

    [–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    He was found innocent of homicide and reckless endangerment. It wasn't accidental. That leaves self-defense.

    I understand people not liking the laws, but I think it was really obvious Rittenhouse shouldn't have been charged in the first place, and after he was, that there was only one correct conclusion, which the jury reached.

    More importantly than Rittenhouse though, one side of the media acted poorly. The liberal outrage was manufactured. They led people like you down a bad path for their own agenda and gain. That's abhorrent.

    Funny how do many of them are throwing the prosecutor under the bus. While the prosecution was incompetent and malicious, it’s not like this was an easy case. Maybe these people should think more about why the prosecution had such a difficult case to argue?

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    It was a difficult case to argue. If the prosecution could not prove for the Rosenbaum homicide case that there was indeed 'reckless endangerment that led to homicide', then they would have failed with the other charges.

    When watching the trial, one noticed that the prosecutors made various mistakes, and that the judge was potentiall biased, and that much of the trial really unprofessional. It was not a proper trial, and the prosecutor's team were a very big part of the reason for the shitshow. That said, the defense team wasn't much better. The jury was distracted by a lot of unprofessional behaviour. The reason it took them so long to decide on the case is because there was substeantial evidence against Rittenhouse.

    Thanks for the links. I am reading good arguments on those Reddit pages. Seems you're the one having a meltdown. None of the posts I see are about or by incels or white people. Your ALL CAPS are rather dramatic in this case. One general trend in those Reddit comments is that: many are now under the impression that they and other kids can now take ARs into crowds of people and murder anyone who throws a sandwich. Thank about that for a minute. The prosecution and judge obviously fucked up.

    It's literally just a fair description.

    No need to take it personally.

    You need to have an argument why Rittenhouse broke the law.

    Not just "my weebo mates are crying, circle jerking and coming up with mad fantasy scenarios which are completely unfalsifyable rather than addressing the actual facts of the case because admitting they might be wrong or have been lied to hurts their feelz too much."

    [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    You need to have an argument why Rittenhouse broke the law.

    And you need to have an argument regarding his supposedly legal actions. I replied to your 2nd Amendment comment a moment ago. Here below is a law he broke, which I copy from one of my other responses:

    You cannot accuse someone of breaking a law if there is no evidence that the person broke the law. And you cannot hold a trial without sufficient evidence that a law was broken. Let's pick "reckless endangerment" and the multiple shots that killed Rosenbaum (one of which in the back). One can shoot in if one's life is in danger, but - after - Rittenhouse shot Rosenbaum in the hand, did he have to keep shooting Rosenbaum? There are of course laws against reckless endangerment that result in homicide. Rittenhouse broke at least one of them. If the prosecution could not effectively clarify the way in which that law was broken, and if the jury was not convinced of the arguments (as they weren't), then Rittenhouse had to walk, even if he technically broke that law.

    [–]jet199 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    In think your mistake is that you are assuming Rittenhouse was there for a fight.

    He wasn't.

    He was there to put out fires and give first aid and the gun was just for self defence.

    Before he was attacked he put out a dumpster on fire which was being rolled towards a petrol station.

    That's why he was there.

    I think it was completely fair for him to assume that if he was in a situation with people who try to blow up petrol stations his life would be threatened at some point and being openly armed would stop that.

    Unfortunately he didn't count on a paedo with a death wish being there.

    Often attackers don't stop once shot. A shot to the hand doesn't mean a man who told you he would kill you it's going to stop trying to kill you. You are making these assumptions that simply don't play out in real life.

    And you still haven't given your argument why he was guilty of anything.

    You just try to muddy the waters.

    I am in favor of defending myself and my principles from people initiating the use of force ( like indoctrination, coercion, threats and violence ) to subvert my culture and my nation.

    It is called defending the Western Civilization and Culture.

    That's why the principle of "peace through strength" exists.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    Yes - everyone has the right to defend themselves

    No - protecting your principles is not the same as protecting yourself

    No - there is no law that allows people to determine what they consider to be their own culture and then to defend that culture

    Yes - there is a US constitutional 2nd Amendment for a WELL REGULATED MILITIA to help protect one's nation

    No - there is no law that allows people to determine what they consider to be "western civilization and culture" and then to defend that "western civilization and culture" ("civilizations" and cultures are always in transition)

    Peace through strength can apply to one's right to defend one's self and others, or it can apply to the US military industrial complex and over 100 significant military interventions in the US's brief 200 year history

    My main point here is that there is a significant, legal difference between a 'well regulated militia' and vigilantism, whereby the latter is illegal, and can result in anarchy and your own death. It's mob rule.

    [–]The_Mad_Pirate 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    Should I remind you that the progressives classify ANY self-assembled citizen militia ( like the one that repelled the domestic terrorist in Kenosha ) as a "White Supremacist Far Right Terrorists" ? The 2A was meant to provide citizens a way to fight against those who were went on destroying and undermining the US constitution and the principles over it was founded, be it an EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL threat. I would say that the 2A did a pretty damn good job on Kenosha that night.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    Mad Pirate - Rittenhouse was not part of a "well regulated militia," as we know, and thus the 2A doesn't support what he did. He was acting as a vigilante, which is what Madison wanted to protect Americans against: against mob violence from vigilantes, as well as monb violence from the 'Federal' government. He and many like him were balancing the approaches of the constitusion by regulating against extremes, favoring instead a regulated populace, militia, and federal government, as well as 3 major branches of government, and a democratic party system. No one wants a Rittenhouse in their neighborhood, walking up to people with ARs and creating dangerious situations were it's likely to lead to murder.

    [–]The_Mad_Pirate 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    So the guys that disrespect the founding fathers so much that they call them "slave traders" and who think that the US Constitution is so worthless that is has to be reinterpreted by "modern culture" as a "living constitution" suddenly know better than the Founding Fathers themselves what is the spirit of the 2nd Amendment ? ( which is by itself ironic, since the Founding Fathers already established what the spirit of "militia part" of the 2nd amendment in the federalist papers, more specifically Federalist 29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_No._29 ). It is obvious that the National Guard did not acted as it should have in Kenosha or nothing of this sort would have had happened, therefore it was up to the citizens to defend themselves from the domestic terrorists burning down their city. That's what Kyle and other did and they were on their right to do so. In that sense, groups like "The 3 percencenters" or "Patriot Prayer" who is well known train regularly fill the void left by the inaction of the National Guard ( when for example, Democrat governors fail to activate them in fear of upsetting the Progressive Status Quo ). Again, they are perfectly in their right to do so. Besides, when country kill commies, it becomes a better country.

    #KillAllMarxists

    And hell, even congressmen are saying nothing would have happened if the National Guard had acted ... https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/11/20/gop-rep-steil-rittenhouse-incident-wouldnt-have-happened-if-there-was-adequate-law-enforcement-presence/ As I said, in those cases, citizen militias become essential to defend the traditions and the soul of a country as it was founded.
