Defending Kyle Rittenhouse w/ Robert Barnes: Kyle not Guilty of Minor in Possession

Robert Barnes and I discuss one of the more legally difficult aspects of Kyle Rittenhouse's charges: Was he illegally in possession of a firearm? Robert and I both argue no, and this video has the reasons why.

[@shadic1988]

If a minor gets assaulted by a predator and said minor kills said predator, it's still self defense

[@Snakedude4life]

But don’t you know? Those predators were part of the “right side of history” crowd, thus all of their sins (current, past and ongoing) are absolved.

[@seafah8426]

Militia is defined in law as males 17 to 44, How can it be illegal for a 17 year old tyo possess a firearm? Seems unconstitutional on its face.

[@flatebo1]

It is unconstitutional in the sense that any law which makes it impossible for an individual to fulfill a Constitutionally mandated duty - like militia service - is a violation of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause. As the militia is defined in federal law as males 17-45 and as militia members are required to supply their own firearms, any state law preventing a 17 year old from acquiring a weapon would functionally prevent that 17 year old from fulfilling his legal obligation.

[@eshootziscrs2868]

Can it be constitutional to make it unlawful for a person between 21-44 to have a weapon, constitutionally speaking? Apparently it can be unlawful. How? Make a law. Constitution or law, they are just words on paper. Clearly the words in the constitution do not mean what they say. Way too many places and circumstances where a weapon is unlawful. One has to wonder why those arbitrary numbers, 17, 44. Why not 45? Fundamental rights wouldn't seem to come with age, a community standard would though. Just read the law and see how confusing and twisted it is. A person can argue the law applies or doesn't apply. This would be a great precedent for those who want the law to apply and only a minor win for those who don't. Most read the law as not applicable. Guess we will see how a judge rules. Perhaps to your point, name a right that is protected in the constitution but is not or cannot be limited, restricted or even prohibited. Unless someone strictly enforces the constitution above a law, the law applies. Often even if the law doesn't apply it serves the purpose through procedure of creating the punishment without pesky due process needing to get in the way. Kyle could be acquitted on every charge but can you say he has not suffered harm, not been punished for his choices? How many months in jail? How many court introduced restrictions? How much public backlash? If they can't get you on substance they can often get you on procedure. No matter the outcome some people will disagree. The real injustice is in the writing of and application of the law. Unfortunately there are no consequences or remedies for that injustice. It seems since we've made prosecutions on behalf of the people the general rule, prosecutors have eagerly sought to represent the people as a class ( political party) and have declined to represent any individual rights. They might pretend to be representing a victim if it plays well to the emotions but when's the last time a prosecutor thought about the individual as being essential to the public interest? Seems like they mostly care less about the rights of every individual they claim to represent and more about getting a conviction at all cost as if that makes them a winner, a good administrator of justice. Laws make an otherwise lawful action unlawful. Laws limit, restrict or prohibit rights, they don't grant, provide or protect rights. Laws are not your friends, law enforcement are not your friends, government is not your friend. They are all necessary to a community, a society of cooperative order and peaceful coexistence. They are necessary because peace and order are always going to conflict with freedom and liberty. No matter how kind and magnanimous a ruler intends to rule, he still intends to rule. To enforce, to prosecute and to judge. Peaceful, reasonable people compromise rather that engage in conflict. Until at least there is nothing left to give, until they are compromised beyond tolerance. Those who want and demand always want and demand more. When one law doesn't serve to prevent we make two more. When more government leads to more harm we seek more government as the remedy. Always more, never enough. Says a lot about people who want to be in power and those who want more government. There will never be enough for either. Laws don't stop criminals they criminalize people who except for the law would be lawful citizens. Intentional and certain harm justified by prevent possible fantasy harm. The exchange of liberty for the illusion of security, we get neither. A truly successful criminal commits all their crimes in the name of the law. Just some thoughts

[@flatebo1]

@@eshootziscrs2868 We order levels of government, with lower levels of government being subordinate to higher levels of government. Thus any “laws” passed by a lower order of government which conflicts with laws passed by a higher level of government are overruled by laws passed by the higher level of government. The Constitution is the highest law of the land. Thus, any “laws” which conflict with the Constitution are not laws. They may be enforced in the mistaken belief that they are laws, it that belief remains mistaken - no matter how long it takes for that mistake to be rectified. I would further point out that laws which violate the rights of the individual are inherently unjust laws. Indeed, much like unconstitutional laws, they are not laws at all. For government can only possess such power and authority as we, the people, can grant to it. If we, the people, lack the just authority to limit the rights of an individual, we cannot grant to government the just authority to limit that individual’s rights on our behalf. For in doing so government does not exercise authority which government possesses qua government since, being a human created institution, government has no authority qua government. Just as I cannot grant to another person legitimate permission to murder on my behalf, neither can I grant to government legitimate permission to murder on my behalf. Likewise regarding the violation of any other right.

[@eshootziscrs2868]

@@flatebo1 Well said. The point I'd still say stands us that these are just words. Police can stop any and everyone for a license checkpoint or DUI checkpoint. The interpretors of the constitution, not you or me but the self ascribed translators, SCOTUS, have determined that these laws do not conflict with the constitution. So when you go on to say that laws are not laws even though they are fully enforced and have the same consequences you are speaking in theory contradicted by observable reality. What you believe sounds good, I take no exception. The reality is not the same in practice as the theory in thought. If these words you gave written were in fact true would we have laws that restrict or prohibit constitutionally protected rights? Do we have such laws? Is this not cognitive dissonance in practice? Btw, the oder of government is actually the opposite of what you suggest. The highest government would be federal. But the constitution gave only limited power to the federal and reserved all other powers to the many states and the people. Federal law may allow open carry with few restrictions. A city ordinance can prohibit open carry period. State laws legalize marijuana, federal law makes it unlawful. Do these conflict? Do they exist? DUI checkpoints were first challenged in a case out of Michigan, Sitz v MI. The SCOTUS determined that they were an insignificant violation that served a very necessary function of government interest and therefore constitutional. Even the Michigan Supreme Court disagreed but the state government, the governor and attorney general determined to fight that decision through the circuit court and up to SCOTUS. DUI checkpoints are constitutional everywhere in the country now. Except in ten states that have found they violate state constitutions including MI which amended it's state constitution to prevent them. Interesting that the state government fought so hard to violate the citizens rights, the highest determiner in the land gave them the authority but the citizens pushed back so hard that the legislature changed the constitution. What is said in words has no practical application in the way that what is done in action might have. Tell me the law is unconstitutional while they place the rope around your neck. The words do not protect you whether promising limitation, regulation or prevention. It's not what the words say as much as the actions taken justified by an interpretation of those words. Yes a law is moot and unenforceable when unconstitutional except that by the time the challenge is heard and decided the harm is done. Just like Reasonable Articulable Suspicion. It is completely at individual officer discretion. Maybe a judge will rule at some future date with deterrence toward the officer or whatever political pressure most sways them. But the time of decision has passed, the violation and harm have occurred. Elijah McClain is still dead and gee it's unfortunate that the officers misinterpreted RAS and got a bit excessive with their force but, maybe next time they will get it right. Better safe than sorry? How do you enforce your words in the face of reality? If I convince you that checkpoints for the most part and RAS in general are unconstitutional how do your words or ideas prevent the harm that is continuously occurring? If I agree that every word you've said is accurate and truthful, what does that do to prevent the violations? What actions do we need if we both agree on the idea. Which laws are you speaking to and what lines determine the demarcation between constitutional and unconstitutional? I personally do agree with what I comprehend from your words. I don't find a solution or suggestion in them just an idea of philosophical thought. Speak specifically to the law in question and point to the specifics of the challenge. This law exist, has existed and has been challenged. Now what? Is this a case that can be challenged up to SCOTUS? Very unlikely in my opinion. Will the courts in the current political and public culture determine the law unconstitutional at a state level? Unlikely. So even if we all agree will that change the fact that Kyle has sat in jail for months and still faces defending himself from these charges under penalty of conviction? Not a single bit unless public opinion creates sufficient political pressure to sway the court, the prosecutor and the media. I really like what you wrote and how you expressed it. I don't find that it addresses the issue but rather the theory behind the argument. You reaffirm my thoughts but address not one part of my comment. Not an insult or offense, but I'd really like to hear the specific arguments as to why it is unconstitutional or why it is allowed as a reasonable regulation on the constitution. Why does, shall not be infringed allow for some infringement but not others? Why do gun laws vary by state and municipality. Why are public government buildings among the most restrictive areas for possessing a weapon even though the constitution really only applies to government violating these rights? When does a property become essentially public for the purpose of the constitutional protections? Why are courts the place that denies individual rights by authority far more than any other place. You have no liberty, no free speech, often only a limited right to silence, no right to report, assemble or protest. No actual due process. And certainly no second amendment right. You can be physically removed from a court and placed in confinement simply because a judge doesn't like what you're wearing or your attitude. What redress do you have? Ask the judge to review themselves? Hope the prosecutor charges the judge? Maybe a higher court will punish.......uh huh. My point being ideas and ideals are very good things to share. Thoughts to offer for others consideration. But until those ideals are made into practical applications they are still just words of theory. As is the truth of recent events, it doesn't matter who votes so much as who counts the votes. It doesn't matter the words you write as much as the actions of those who interpret the words. I do greatly encourage you to stare those thoughts here and elsewhere. It is really a message that people should already understand but need to be reminded of as the foundation for their reasoning. We all need direction, something of an ideal as a goal. But please be careful that the ideal does not become ideological to the extent that the ideal overcomes the individual freedom. That according to Jordan Peterson might be the difference between oppression and advocacy. ( In my interpretation of his words) How can we force a prosecutor to charge a cop but prevent or punish a prosecutor who maliciously uses prosecution for political purpose? I'm not sure we can but I'm certain I don't want it to be possible. I no more want a mob dictating the application of justice than I want power to protect from justice. Nature has a way of balancing things out over time though it also never finds a perfect balance but always changes. We humans don't like that, we like control, predictability, stability and the illusion of security. There in my opinion is the real conflict that does, will and maybe needs to exist. Humanity vs nature/reality. What drives us to overcome nature is what will be our imminent downfall. That we are part of nature our only redeeming savior. Everything between is just riding the scales, seeking an ever changing balance. The balance between need and desire, selfishness and sympathy. Between humanity and nature. The Colorado river is a great example of human progression, advancement and struggle against nature. For all of our wisdom and planning our desires and greed have left us with even more problems than we started with. We've eliminated large natural lakes for farmland. Damned wild rivers to provide water and power. And still nature does what it wants. The farmlands are sinking and drying up. The rivers flooding or drying up. Control like knowledge is an illusion our egos cannot help but perceive as reality. Thank you for the well written reply.

An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception. Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive. Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur. "We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute. We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks. "We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air. They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn. The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison. The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouths, they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information. The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear. We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far. We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones. Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons. "They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them its for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things. When their teeth decay we will fill them with metals that will kill their mind and steal their future. When their ability to learn has been affected, we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other diseases for which we will create yet more medicine. We will render them docile and weak before us by our power. They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison. "We will focus their attention toward money and material goods so they many never connect with their inner self. We will distract them with fornication, external pleasures and games so they may never be one with the oneness of it all. Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say. If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives. We will use fear as our weapon. We will establish their governments and establish opposites within. We will own both sides. We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan. They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil. "Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure always, for it is the way. We will make them kill each other when it suits us. We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion. We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding themselves. We will foment animosity between them through our factions. When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule, or death, whichever suits us best. We will make them rip each other’s hearts apart and kill their own children. We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend. The hate will blind them totally, and never shall they see that from their conflicts we emerge as their rulers. They will be busy killing each other. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long as we see fit. "We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths. We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is accomplished. We will continue to make them live in fear and anger though images and sounds. We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this. The tools will be provided by their labor. We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors. "We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one. This they must never know! They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always think they are not equal. Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal. We will take over their land, resources and wealth to exercise total control over them. We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little freedom they will have. We willestablish a money system that will imprison them forever, keeping them and their children in debt. "When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a different story to the world for we shall own all the media. We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment in our favor. When they shall rise up against us we will crush them like insects, for they are less than that. They will be helpless to do anything for they will have no weapons. "We will recruit some of their own to carry out our plans, we will promise them eternal life, but eternal life they will never have for they are not of us. The recruits will be called “initiates” and will be indoctrinated to believe false rites of passage to higher realms. Members of these groups will think they are one with us never knowing the truth. They must never learn this truth for they will turn against us. For their work they will be rewarded with earthly things and great titles, but never will they become immortal and join us, never will they receive the light and travel the stars. They will never reach the higher realms, for the killing of their own kind will prevent passage to the realm of enlightenment. This they will never know. The truth will be hidden in their face, so close they will not be able to focus on it until its too late. Oh yes, so grand the illusion of freedom will be, that they will never know they are our slaves. "When all is in place, the reality we will have created for them will own them. This reality will be their prison. They will live in self-delusion. When our goal is accomplished a new era of domination will begin. Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established from time immemorial. "But if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY MUST NEVER KNOW. If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action. They must never, ever find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall have no place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are once the veil has fallen. Our actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down and no person shall give us shelter. "This is the secret covenant by which we shall live the rest of our present and future lives, for this reality will transcend many generations and life spans. This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from heaven to earth came." "This covenant must NEVER, EVER be known to exist. It must NEVER, EVER be written or spoken of for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 It wouldn't be the wrath of THE Creator, THE Creator contains no wrath.

Totally agree. Laws like these are quite common in states with large rural areas. In which forms of agricultural, forestry and recreational outdoor activities take place. The specific requirements of safety course. Is held strictly in ones ability to obtain a hunting license and engage in hunting. Nothing else. My state, even adults born after a certain date or cannot prove they've held an adult hunting license prior. Must show satisfactory completion of an Approved HUNTERS SAFETY course. To get a HUNTING license. Other hunting regulations apply only while engaged in the act of hunting. There are no laws restricting possession or legal use by a minor in that 16 to 17 years age bracket. Maybe even younger. They can target practice, dispatch critters attacking livestock, shoot intruders or defend themselves. They can carry, transport weapons. But have to be in plain sight, disabled, or under lock if concealed. During transportation. Truly hope this gets dismissed. And this trial doesn't turn out to be another lynch mob, freak show straight out of an old western, or Twilight Zone episode. Like some recent trials have been. And if these people put half the effort into controlling the riots, looting, arson etc. Or the gang shootings going on today. This probably never would have taken place. Also he did not run from police. Or try to hide anything unlike others. Who fled the scene as police arrived. And really don't want to hear the race card crap. Four men at least one being armed with a handgun attacked and assaulted another person. While being backed by a rioting mob. They lost. Now they want to convict him on a bogus violation by a minor. So they can try and convict him as an adult On other crimes. Does anyone else have a problem with this?
