Thank you

[@GoldenGraham25]

Thank you to every veteran who shed blood to defend our country; especially the Black vets who came home to suffer just as worse in their own land smh. Thank you for your bravery, courage and strength.

[@donaldolsen9571]

I Liked the story on the Blacks participation in U.S. defense, in all aspects. Many black and indian and other ethnic groups, were heroes without ever receiving recognition , publicly or receiving medals. I wish it weren't so! Many have, as I, seen some of the many documentaries on this subject. Many as I are very grateful and proud for these brave "unsung" heroes, and all who took part in our struggles against tyrrany, oppression, and wars.

So to concluded We can carry a. 🔫 Gun to a protest. What age can a protesters carry a 🔫 Gun to a protest. ? ? ?

[@blacksmoke3113]

There were MANY armed people silly person. Like josh ziminski who shot at kyle first. Did you know that the trial has proven kyle was actually helping people? The prosecution cant deny that he had provided aid to MANY protestors. He wasn't there to stop the protest or to be against the protest. He was ambushed by ziminski and Rosenbaum while he was about to put out a fire. And that is the ONLY thing that he was doing. Putting out fires. A bigger question is why some of the protestors are allowed to be destructive and violent? If it had been a peaceful protest NOBODY would feel like they should be armed or defend businesses that the defense proved were in communication with rittenhouse AND gave him and two others a ride to another car lot his father (who wasnt there because he doesnt speak English)owned which white protestors tried to burn down. They were defending a minority owned business from white protestors

[@mdouglaswray]

Rittenhouse is going to walk. The judge has obviously made up his mind.

[@donaldolsen9571]

The facts, you mean!!!

[@blacksmoke3113]

It has nothing to do with the judge. Are you watching the trial? Did you watch pretrial motions and hearings? If so, can you demonstrate HOW, or WHAT he did to make him biased?

[@rolandthethompsongunner64]

Your tears are delicious cupcake.

[@rolandthethompsongunner64]

The prosecution obviously didn’t want to win this case because it’s similar to the Zimmerman Martin case in Florida. They went for murder one instead of 2 nd degree negligent homicide. Both Zimmerman and Rittenhouse committed second degree murder.

[@blacksmoke3113]

@@rolandthethompsongunner64 self defense cant me considered murder, and his actions didn't rise to culpability for the consequences. I.e. he never provoked ziminski and Rosenbaum into ambushing and attacking him, pointing a gun in his face, chasing him when he chose to flee instead of fight, and it was ziminski who shot first behind Rosenbaum. Did you even watch the trial?

The school story is no surprise.

[@mojomike362]

Well the police charged him....that means nothing more than the cops did there jobs. This does not mean there is evidence that it happened. This means she can now gather evidence and take it to court. The school found no evidence and felt like this is false aligations and punished the girl (very softly I must add) for trying to ruin this guy's life. So as of now with no evidence. Everything has been done properly.

Rittenhouse's actions inappropriate in my opinion You walk around with a rifle like that what do you think is going to happen?? I'm not at liberty to say if his actions were appropriate but he never should have been out there! That's what police and military are for!!!

What is happening with American/english today? The T's have become silent.. f.example Ri-enhouse, many totay mske the "short "T" silent. It is all over medie. Just saying. BTW Ritenhouse is effectivley proven, in self defense. Truly sad for the deceased. Though I'm sure Kyle would be dead today if he was unnarmed.

[@terrierqueen4091]

Uh..."Physician, heal thyself" leaps to mind here. "f.example"? "medie"? WTF?

[@doloresreynolds8145]

The first times that I noticed the nonexistent ‘T’ was in LA ‘Valley Girls and Jersey Girls. I always wondered if the reason they cannot form the ‘T’ sound correctly is due to nose jobs…. BTW, I believe that Rittenhouse has already convicted himself with his testimony. There is no way he will get off scot-free. He only needed to defend himself because he was acting aggressively, which he was doing because he had a gun in his possession. He premeditated by securing an illegal weapon, he drove illegally with no license across state lines with said illegally obtained weapon with the hopes of having an excuse to use his weapon, and gain approval from other white nationalists (which he apparently did, since he was partying with the Proud Boys upon being released on his own recognizance). His attitude prior to being on trial shows that he learned nothing from this situation whatsoever. Sad.

He did not approach he did not threaten he did not point his rifle at anyone until these attacks and threats started... He is illegally out there in illegal possession of a firearm those should be charges charged also the man who bought the gun for him and allowed him to have possession of it

[@taylorbug9]

They have high quality drone footage of the first person he shot and it's clear from the footage that that person was not touching him at all. And there is zero proof to suggest he was ever going to lay a single finger on kyle. He was there in another state with a gun he had no business having, there is video footage of him before this happened wishing he had a gun on him so he could shoot some shoplifters. He says "I wish I had my AR with me I would empty the clip into them" about a random car full of people that he is sitting across the street from and has no actual proof that they committed a crime. There is video of him assaulting a teenage girl from his high school, after words were exchanged. He literally has a history of violence, and a documented history of wanting to shoot people over property. Just because he didn't go around the whole night being an active shooter doesn't mean that he didn't go there with ill intent, doesn't mean that he didn't murder those people in Cold blood. All it means is that he's not dumb enough to wander around shooting people he knew he could get away with it if he just played the self-defense card he waited for an opportunity saw a man running in the same direction as him and opened fire. He shoots that man in the chest before the man is even within a couple feet of him everyone on that street is running in the same direction that Kyle is they are all running towards the same thing he is not being chased there are many people running towards the same thing. He sees a guy running behind him turns around and kills him. When people start chasing him for that he kills another person. And when people continue to chase him for now being an active shooter situation he shoots another person. He is 110% guilty of two murders and aggravated assault with a weapon. He is also guilty of being out with a gun where and when he shouldn't have one. His mom is guilty of driving him out there and leaving them there and that friend of his is guilty of buying him the gun. No ifs ands or buts about it they have shown the footage and it speaks clearly.

[@jackparker8686]

@@taylorbug9 true he just needs one Valid incident of murder or manslaughter... If the people were running in the same direction and not after him... He turns and shoot someone he thought was... That's an accident... He would have ordinarily had the right to shoot someone that was chasing him that close up on him while catching him suddenly.. maybe makes sense how the guy sort of lifted his hands when he turned and pointed rifle at him as if to say whoa whoa whoa not me.. and kept running in that direction.. assuming he would not be just around that corner but smoking it down the trail as he was doing..... kind of stumbled into him. It was very dark there.

[@jackparker8686]

@@taylorbug9 the somewhat extraneous discussion of his ethos is relatively irrelevant here... He was in one instance maybe having a paranoid psychotic scenario except when he was actually clearly being assaulted by gang of individuals...

If someone acting irate all night proceeds to threatens you with death and within hours of those threats is without provocation in a aggressive charging motion towards you, I'd believe there's grounds to call kyles actions self defense. Or did he just want to give kyle a hug and as such made threats to him and later chased him down and cornered him 🤔

This reminds me, in a way, of the George Zimmerman vs. Trayvon Martin case. Though Trayvon was just minding his business, not at some public protest, there was somebody, "vigilante", that took it upon themselves to play "law enforcement" ultimately resulting in the needless & unfortunate death of someone else. It's just incredible how the in"justice" system, in this country, is setup to allow a blatant aggressor to be able to claim self-defense as a reasonable defense.

Unfortunately that's slightly unconstitutional. Property destruction and rioting isnt. If people could maybe just NOT destroy their communities then other people might not feel like they should do the right thing and prevent wrong from occurring. By the way, does that mean that Josh ziminsky, the person who shot first behind rittenhouse, and gage gross, who had a firearm as well, are actually the primary aggressors since they initiated and were armed?

When you are seventeen, you are not legally allowed to own a semi-automatic long gun, at least in Illinois (where Kyle lives). He had no good reason to drive illegally (he has no drivers license) to another state in order to participate in an obviously confrontational demonstration. If he intentionally put himself in harms way, can his actions really be considered self defense? Or just an excuse to shoot someone with his big gun?
