Kyle Rittenhouse says he is destroying the AR-15 rifle he used in Kenosha and doesn't want anything to do with it

[Coyote]

Kyle Rittenhouse said he intends to destroy the AR-15 rifle he used in Kenosha.

During an appearance on the conservative podcast "The Charlie Kirk Show," on November 30, Rittenhouse, 18, said that the firearm is "being destroyed right now."

"We don't want anything to do with that," Rittenhouse told podcast host Kirk.

Rittenhouse was previously on trial for fatally shooting Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injuring Gaige Grosskreutz, during the August 25 Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year. He was acquitted of five felony charges, including first-degree intentional homicide.

Students at the university called this week for Rittenhouse to be removed from online classes, calling him a "high-profile right-wing fascist icon."

The gun didn't shoot those people.

Do you think it wise to destroy the gun?

My opinion of Rittenhouse goes up With this.

 

[Coyote]

No, Kyle pulled the trigger. in a case of self defense.




Certainly.

It's a reminder of the worst day of his life.

a reminder he obviously doesn't want.

I don’t think he ever thought about the reality of killing.

And while one side is feting him and calling him a “hero” and the other side is damning him and calling him a “murderer”…he is probably struggling to come to terms with his actions.

He wants to be a nurse…and he no longer wants the gun. That says a lot don’t you think?

I really really hope he gets to be a nurse. Screw all the politicos trying to use him.

 

[Coyote]

There will be ignorant and hateful leftists to remind him the rest of his life.

And ignorant hateful rightists trying to use him.

 

[daveman]

And ignorant hateful rightists trying to use him.

At least the conservatives won't be threatening his life.

 

[Coyote]

At least the conservatives won't be threatening his life.

No, they’ll just be quietly destroying it.

 

[daveman]

No, they’ll just be quietly destroying it.

Not really.

 

[M14 Shooter]

I don’t think he ever thought about the reality of killing.

Most people don;t when they are defensing themselves from a an existential threat.

 

[M14 Shooter]

And ignorant hateful rightists trying to use him.

Did you take offense to the hateful leftists trying to do the same?

 

[Flash]

And ignorant hateful rightists trying to use him.

Just like you asshole Leftest dickheads tried to destroy him.

 

[Rigby5]

That weapon saved his life.

I don't think so.
Did you see anyone else at risk?
Kyle was the only one with rifle.
And no one aimed or tried to use any weapon on him at all.

 

[Bleipriester]

He doesn’t need to destroy it. I’ll gladly take it off his hands.

He might change his mind...

 

[Bleipriester]

I don't think so.
Did you see anyone else at risk?
Kyle was the only one with rifle.
And no one aimed or tried to use any weapon on him at all.

One approached with a gun in his hand. Rittenhouse shot his arm.
After all he has mental problems now, another sign that he never intended to unlawfully use his rifle but to safeguard the area against rioters and looters.

You mean except for the violent, deranged, child rapist who stated earlier in the night that he was going to kill kyle and his friends if he caught them alone, then, when kyle was alone, chased him and grabbed for his rifle.......

You mean except for that guy....right?

I don't think so.

I should just forgett that one attacker had a gun and one tried to smash his head in with a skateboard?
No.

The arm Kyle shot was pointing up in the air at the time.
You can tell by the bullet path.
And you can tell he most certainly intended to unlawfully be in possession of the rifle, because he knew it was illegal for him to be in possession of it without an adult supervising.
That is why he had a friend hide the rifle at the friend's parent's house.

That was not sufficient justification for pulling the trigger.
Since Kyle bringing the rifle was lethal intimidation, then any threats by others in retaliation, are not an escalation or the initiation of a lethal threat by others.
It was all Kyle's fault.

There were tons of alternatives Kyle could and should have done.
First of all, if the intent was to defend property, then he should have stayed at that property.
In which case he would not have been alone.
He also had the option of firing a warning shot, but failed to do so.
Close enough for a grab, means Kyle could easily have shot an arm or leg.
You do not do that at long range because it is too difficult and unreliable, but you DO shoot an arm or let when only 4' apart or less.
It is easy and reliable at that close range.
And Kyle fired 5 shots at the first person, when clearly he should never have aimed at them at all.
That many shots is to ensure a kill only, and can have no other possible intent.

No.

A skate board is NOT a lethal weapon and does not justify a lethal response.
The guy with the gun was pointing it up and was in full official MedTech uniform, including hat.

Where did you get the idea that a skateboard is not a lethal weapon.
