oh yeah, he is your hero right? i can buy self defense, but he never should have been there with a loaded AR to begin with, multiple laws broken here. his parents should be sitting in jail as well, they are responsible for his actions.

his poor decisions caused those deaths. Under no circumstance is it appropriate for a 17 year to wander the streets protecting businesses with a loaded rifle. It was utter stupidity on his part, but he was just a kid and any adults involved in this need to charged, including the officers that threw him water bottles.

But the rioters deciding to riot and try to kill anyone there to stop them, those aren’t the bad decisions we should focus on. The ones that created the whole situation.

The rioters only got pi$$ed when he tried to put out their arsonist fires. He should have let the fires burn. But of course if one of the rioters had burned to death in the fire, the Kenosha Fire Chief would be the one indicted for murder.
They reaped what they sowed!!

thats the 1st video of this particular view
heres my take. the 1st guy chasing him down: i'm not sure a self defense argument will fly. The reason is they are gonna have to make a case for being pursued, and turning and gunning the guy down. The gun went off and he thought the guy was shooting at him? But did he have a gun in hand?
the other guys attacking him, theres more of a case, for self defense. Although I heard/read that some of those guys thought there was an active shooter, acting without knowing specifics of what happened earlier
this is a sad case for all involved and goes to show why kids shouldn't be armed with assault weapons.

I disagree that it's all self defense, and I think a jury might too. That is in the sense that he feared for his life and needed to use lethal force. They will get their chance tho. Its more likely he heard a gunshot and panicked and pulled the trigger

You accuse people of going on feelings and not the law and in the same sentence gloss over the fact that the kid wasn't legally carrying that gun because your feelings make it seem okay to you since he was only a few months too young.

Which T3 and others want to summarily dismiss.
The fact that he was willingly breaking the law with an illegal firearm already eliminates much, if not all, of the self defense claim. He knew he was breaking the law and did it anyway to insert himself into a hostile and violent situation. He entered to be a combatant. You don't get to argue self defense when you do that.

When George Floyd was murdered by a police officer, people stated that "if he hasn't broken the law he wouldn't have died".
Amazingly, when a 17 year old illegally carrying a loaded weapon murders someone else, it's no big deal that he was breaking the law.

In Wisconsin you can protect yourself using lethal force if you are under the threat of great bodily harm. That doesn't count if you committing a crime of course. The only way he will get convicted is if the gun law makes it illegal to protect himself etc etc. Other than that possibility, there isnt a strong chance he will be convicted.

Sep 23, 2020, 12:05 PM

His very first act of recklessness was being where he was when he was holding a frigging gun.
Second act of recklessness was in approaching a crowd carrying a weapon he wasn't legally carrying.
He should not have been there.

but a medkit and a fire extinguisher. However, had he not been carrying a weapon he might be dead.
If you charged him with reckless homicide my defense would be evidence that he was retreating when he fired that weapon and feared for his life being that those attacking him had weapons including bats and guns.
I would charge him with carrying a weapon which wasn't legal and be almost assured of a conviction.

Then you're wrong, too. Doesn't matter about political party. You walk into a volatile situation willingly, armed to the teeth--illegaly--, you are looking to become a combatant. Thus, self defense is out the window.
That, and the Wisconsin laws don't support Rittenhouse in this situation.

I hope he gets off. You attack a guy with an AR15 you deserve to get shot. He should only be charged for the gun and nothing else. More than likely he will get off of the 1st degree homicide. I think he gets off the reckless homicide as well. Hung jury at worst.

88 said Rittenhouse would have wound up dead if he didn't have a gun? Why?
There were people of his mindset there who weren't armed, and they didn't get attacked or killed. Why not?

We don't know, but feel free to make up your own story.

Here's what we actually know: Rittenhouse was running away. He was chased down and cornered - then he shot. Then he ran away and was chased again, whereupon he fell, was viciously attacked, and fired the gun again. And yes, he appears to have been guilty of a misdemeanor, illegal possession of a firearm by a minor.

88 claimed he would have died. Yet, all the like-minded people out there didn't die. So no, the safe assumption is Rittenhouse would not have died without his gun.

The didn't put out fires started by Anfifa and BLM.

The initial confrontation started with Kyle putting out a fire which was started by the first guy Kyle shot. He pursued Kyle and cornered him up between a couple cars on the parking lot that were subjects of the BLM rage.
After putting that radical down Kyle ran toward police to report the incident when the BLM/antifa crowd knocked him down and attacked him with a skateboard and a pistol both of which are clearly seen in the frame shots from the video.
You ought to watch the video before further comment. It's all what you see not what you hear.

I've watched the videos many times. He deserves to go to prison.
1. He wouldn't have died without the gun. This is a false assumption on your part.
2. This is evidenced by the fact no one else died on his side.

Was in danger of great bodily harm though? That's all one needs a jury to believe in Wisconsin.

homicide by pointing out that he was trying to jump out of the car when it ran over the dead person so he wasn't really driving anymore.
His recklessness was in bringing an illegal firearm to a dangerous place and approaching a dangerous crowd carrying the gun. I'm pretty sure I'd get that conviction and I can only assume they don't have a similar charge where Kyle is being indicted. Of course, it could actually be a lesser included offense of what they did charge him with, so still available for a conviction later.

I said he was too young to be there holding and brandishing a firearm which was a reckless act that led to the death of two people.

if he had been there at all it would be stupid as hell, but he would not be guilty of reckless homicide without the gun. And not just because he shot someone - the act of carrying the gun around illegally is reckless.

And probably intentionally.
Nobody said he didn't have a right to be there.
The argument is that since he came from out of state, he willingly inserted himself into the conflict, and he armed himself illegally in doing so, he actively sought confrontation and thus cannot use self defense as an argument.
He wanted a fight.

What part of he has every right to be there as a US Citizen, especially on private property, do you not understand?
Nobody. Is. Arguing. He. Didn't. Have. That. Right.
He showed zero signs of provoking anyone. The other side is on video doing it repeatedly.
Eyewitness reports claim he was provoking. He armed himself and rushed up to the protest. He was looking for a confrontation.
You can not argue that because one side is breaking the law, you don’t have a right to be somewhere, especially when you have the owner’s permission and the rioters are trespassers.
That's not my argument. And wasn't on private property when he shot people. If he was 18, I would be arguing he had a right to be there with a gun. What he didn't have is a right to be there WITH a gun.
And right to be there or not, he went there to get confrontational. Self defense is gone.
You're straw manning hard.

No one said he didn't have a right. What we're saying is that if you willingly enter that situation armed like he was, you're looking for trouble and self defense is out the window.

You all keep talking about the AR and “armed like he was.” Would it have made a difference if he was carrying a .22 pistol? People seem to be extrapolating their hate for AR’s to this situation. The fact is it’s a legal weapon and apparently worked pretty well. The only issue here is his age and how that interacts with the self defense law.
No, it wouldn't have made difference. He's still illegally carrying a deadly weapon.
The fact it was an AR is irrelevant. The fact he chose to be there is irrelevant.
The fact that he's carrying an illegal firearm is relevant. The fact that he went out of his way to insert himself into the situation is relevant. The prosecutors will use these facts against him.
Also, he was illegally open carrying the gun. What if he picked the gun up and then shot those guys in self defense? Is a person under 18 ever permitted to use deadly force to save their own lives? Seems like they should have the same right to preserve their life as anyone else.
Not based on Wisconsin law, no. There isn't a stand your ground type of law. It would be a different scenario if he was at his home.
Using hypotheticals don't really work here. We know what he did.

It doesnt throw self defense out in any way. The only thing that might hurt his case is whether the fact that he was too young to carry the gun makes it illegal to defend himself. That will be his only hurdle. The guy won't be convicted otherwise.

Based on Wisconsin law, it doesn't help him at all. There's a reason they have slapped five felonies on him.
When there's a clear case of self defense and the law supports it, I promise, these things don't even go to trial.

And that very well may be so. We'll see. But it's doubtful he skirts all five felonies.
