@@dudemountain6689 You really didn't take time to learn the facts of this case, that's evident. The police should have stopped the rioters, but they didn't. It was proven in court he had the right to LEGALLY be there with a legal firearm and attempt to protect his relatives property. When someone (a convicted felon) attacks you and idiotically tries to grab your gun from you and you defend yourself and shoot them, or someone hits you in the head twice with a weapon (the skateboard) and you defend yourself and shoot them, or when someone (with no right to carry a concealed weapon in any case) ADMITS in court he pointed his illegal gun at Rittenhouse first, before Rittenhouse shot him (that was his testimony during the trial and the prosecution’s video confirmed all of this) then Rittenhouse had the right to defend himself. I believe Kyle had good intensions of going to the riots (not peaceful demonstration by “protestors” as the moronic media would have us believe) to protect his grandparent's gas station. But I also believe he erred in going to the riot with a weapon. Whatever his intent, that is clearly what he should not have done. But legally he had the right to do it. Look at the videos of the Rodney King riots in LA (like Kenosha, not a peaceful protest but a riot) and the ONLY businesses black, white and ethnic, not looted and burnt to the ground were those being protected by Koreans standing outside and on the roofs, protecting their property and their future with AK-47’s. The prosecution in this case was more than inept, but in the end the jury was correct in their decision. Let's understand what happened that night: pro·test/prōˌtest/ a statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something ri·ot/ˈrīət a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd. These rioters simply wanted to loot and burn cars and buildings. If you want a peaceful protest rally, don't invite violent rioters. Here’s Wikipedia assessment of the damage the rioters did. [City property valued at $2 million was destroyed by rioters, including garbage trucks, street lights and traffic signals.[5] Kenosha's mayor requested $30 million in aid from the state to cover the extensive damage.[68] Damage to private property could be as high as $50 million, according to estimates from the Kenosha Area Business Alliance. This includes the 100-year-old Danish Brotherhood Lodge which was burned down when 40 buildings were destroyed and an additional 100 buildings damaged.] On October 2, 2020, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released photos and videos of suspected arsonists, offering up to $5,000 reward for each person identified.]

He though he was invincible with that thing and felt like he should play Sheriff. He got himself into something that was way too big for him. When you’re openly carrying a rifle the way he did in the middle of a very heated situation surrounded by aggressors, there will be shots fired which is just completely irresponsible. All that while being 4 years away from legally buying a beer. That’s the impression I get from the footage I’ve seen.

[@froog7488]

You seen confident in your statement so there's no point to contradicting it, though i would like for you to notice that law enforcment was attempting to enforce the curfew onto the protest demonstrators, while somehow failing to enforce it on the so called "militia." On top of this, we have video evidence of law enforcment showing their gratitude to the "militia." This leads me to believe that the people at fault for the shooting are Rittenhouse's parental gaurdians, and the law enforcment that failed to difuse the situation. I do believe that minors should never be tried as adults, therefore Kyle Rittenhouse should recieve the punishment that a child would for the crime he commited, though I believe that the officers in charge should recieve seviour punishments, along with the parental gaurdians, who allowed their child to posses a firearm, and drove him to Kenosha. Finally, she video evidence we have that shows the police expressing grattitude toward the "Militia" shows further evidence that law enforcment took part in misconduct during the proceeding of January 25th. The fact is that a police offiicer's job is to keep peace amongst civillians, not encourage violence amongst them.

No. It was a collective of opinions from bystanders, militia & protestors that the media couldn't have coax in any way. All those interviewed, with the exception of the sheriff, experienced first hand, tensions escalating & leading up to the gunfire, lived through the hellish 10 or so minutes & I'm sure the aftermath was upsetting for them too. Seeing how the police didn't react to the situation until the next day. No one can fake those emotions regardless how much time has passed. Imo all of them gave genuine account of that day even Hubert's gf didn't sugar-coat it. She said he went running after the gunman & she knew he shouldn't have & tried to stop him. She had no intentions of skewing public opinion. No one can give a candid recall better than those who lived through it and the video shows Rittenhouse getting attacked & NONE of the interviewees said he wasn't. So where's the lie?? Rather the sheriff lied multiple times about the interaction btn the police & armed civilians & Ryan Balsh & the video exposed that.

you don't chase and try to attack someone who is carrying a weapon that can "vaporize" big chunks of you. even if you think you are doing the right thing... he was acquitted on all counts as he should have been. every single time he pulled the trigger he was defending himself against an attacker.

Those people got shot because they attacked a guy with a gun.

[@Jagonath]

The only real "villain" I can see in this video is the guy who fired the first shot. Until that point, it was just people screaming and yelling, like any protest. Firing bullets in the air because you see a guy, with a rifle, who hasn't fired a shot, who is currently running away, is pure insanity.

[@Douken]

Yep. That sole guy started everything. It scared Rittenhouse who was being chased and now just heard a gun shot behind him, turns around and there's a guy lounging over him. What else would have happened? That guy should have not shot anything. It was dangerous and extremely stupid.

Schools there have had to switch back to mask policies because kids and staff were getting COVID. 200 in one school and the same at other schools. The School Board reinstated masks had to be worn inside the building. There was an uproar by non-maskers in the parking lot yelling threats. Masks were worn about a month? worn until last week. Mask policy is now at the choice of the individuals. I live in Florida where it's a mess. Money and time being spent on lawyers of both sides. Sadly, one side is the schools who really don't have enough money anyway. Counties ordered masks and other policies during most of Covid ignoring the Governor. Our businesses reopened and life returned to our streets. The Governor was furious so he wrote a new law: During a pandemic or statewide emergency only the GOVERNOR and his staff will make the decisions for counties and the state. He's trying to take money from the Public School Budget when a school mandates masks. It's in the Courts. Talk about take over and control all the elected and appointed officials everywhere in the State. He's made all Covid data taken at hospitals and county health be sent to his office. There it's lowered and not reported nationally. 🙁

[@mahande88]

@@LillianArch You're a liar. I live in Florida too and you are a liar. The entire argument here has been about mandates. No one, including DeSantis, is saying don't wear a mask, we are saying that you should have the freedom to wear one if you want to and don't if you don't want to. Simple as that. The counties having their school board paychecks cut are ones that issued mask mandates despite a lawful executive order telling them not to. The same goes for the vaccine. If your mask or vaccine protects you, why do I need one for your protection? If your mask or vaccine doesn't work, why should I submit to something that doesn't work?
