Kyle Rittenhouse should be awarded a congressional medal...

[Otis Mayfield]

It was very brave of Kyle to say he supported BLM

 

[LuckyDuck]

Was he shot in the back or not? Get over it.

He fired at Rosenbaum four times, the last shot struck him at an angle that showed Rosenbaum was at an extreme angle consistent with his lunging position, thus it hit struck the back, but Rosenbaum was in a forward motion towards Rittenhouse.
My, my, my, such defense of a child molester....it makes one wonder where your sexual preferences lie.

 

[Stann]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has advanced such legislation and I shall be raising hell with my congress critter if he doesn't co-sponsor it.

Kyle Rittenhouse is one of those unique Americans that stands up against insanity, criminals and walks into chaos in order to establish order.

Now you want to glorify irresponsibility; I don't think so that would be a travesty, further compounding the travesty of justice that just occurred with him.

They don't give awards for being young and dumb and getting into crap where you should have stayed home and having to shoot your way out of it.

Right, as long as they don't get in his way.

 

[JGalt]

Rittenhouse has no cause of action. And if he tries, he can be sued by the families of the victims, who can pull an O.J. in a civil trial.

You're dreaming. How did any of those lawsuits work against George Zimmerman?

Personally, I hope Kyle puts his AR up for auction. I'd love to see how much he gets for that. Just like Zimmerman did with his pistol.

Killing is the only way to stop someone who's trying to kill you.

Thanks for acknowledging the legitimacy of the Ashli Babbit shooting. All the occupants of the gallery were at risk of death or injury from the crazy woman entering through the barricade they just breeched.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I can hardly wait for his porno film.

In which case, it's a good thing he just turned 18.

 

[Dragonlady]

then he can sell his art like hunter

Hunter Biden hasn't killed anyone, nor has he done anyone harm but himself. Why do you hate him so? He's not a part of government? At least he's trying to scam people in a way that going to harm anyone. Nobody is being forced to buy his art, and I seriously doubt anyone is buying his art.

Is it because you can't find anything to attack his father over? He's not a crook, like Trump. Attacking Biden because his kid has a drug problem is a real loser move, FuckBoi. But then so is voting for Trump.

Hater's got hate, and losers gotta lose. If all you have is attacks on a man's family, you're a real piece of shit.

 

[Red Storm Rising]

KYLE RITTENHOUSE IS FREE!!! FUCK JOE BIDEN!!!.

Sorry. I had to quote your signature.

For this we give Thanks.

So Kyle knew he had a record as a child molester?

 

[Blaine Sweeter]

Seventeen-year-old boys are walking testosterone explosions looking for excitement and sex. They do really stupid things. When I was seventeen my friends and I did a lot of stupid things because we were stupid kids with no world experience.
Nowadays stupid seventeen year old boys still do stupid things, they just do them with guns now. Thank the NRA for this kind of shit.

[Red Storm Rising]

Same roid rage pervert who voted against awarding the Congressional Medal to the Capitol cops who protected her ass on Jan 6th.

Those filthy fake union losers they call capitol cops murdered an innocent unarmed girl that day and the socialist democrats covered it up. Take your faux outrage and shove it up your ***

 

[Doc7505]

Well of course not, he wasn't serving in the military in a foreign theater of war, or even in an insurgency against a foreign enemy on US Territory.

I'd still give the kid a medal for stepping in 2 1/2 piles of shit while putting out a dumpster fire and then having to tolerate some bed wetting sociopath lawyers trying to imprison him for it.


.

Yes, I agree. The 'Medal of Freedom' would certainly be appropriate in this for "taking out the garbage".

And little Kyle used up his lifetime’s allotment of stupidity with his little stunt.

Hopefully, he learned something.

He won the first place award against an unruly murderous crown of rabid anarchists, some of whom were armed.

There is no "second place award."

 

[WTH_Progs?]

Check the following out flashing on Facebook. Wow, the "legal" person who wrote it doesn't even offer their name. It's so full of holes & strictly a piece of left propaganda. Never mind the details are made up, I think my favorite part is when the "author" starts off with you can't claim self-defense if you're packing an illegal weapon............COUGH!................So right off the bat I knew it's a lie. I'll bet if left news gets hold of it they'll sing its praises.

From a military legal worker:
I'm seeing a lot of ignorance and misinformation flying around about what happened in Kenosha, and I'm going to set the record straight from a professional legal position... as well as from a former military position. I'm going to explain some things from a more technical angle derived from my many years as a paralegal and from my experience working in federal criminal justice and prosecution.

Legally, if you are in the process of a commission of a crime, it negates your ability to claim self defense if you kill someone. As in, it can't even be entered as your official defense in court. It is similar to getting rear-ended at a red light through zero fault of your own, but you were driving without a license or insurance. It automatically makes you at fault because you weren't even legally allowed to be driving.
That 17 year old in Kenosha had committed two crimes and was not even legally allowed to open carry the rifle he used to shoot three people. This means that he legally cannot claim self defense.

Another key discussion is the Castle Doctrine. Some of you may be vaguely familiar with it, as it is what allows you to use deadly force when someone comes into your house unlawfully, etc. But there are some finer points most people don't realize that you generally have to do some formal legal studies to know.

First, as soon as someone sets foot inside the threshold of your home uninvited that you believe intends to commit a crime, you can legally use deadly force and it is immediately considered self defense, even if they haven't made any violent threats or actions towards harming you.
This is because in every instance outside your home, you are required to retreat and extricate yourself from a dangerous situation if possible. It is a legal mandate, not a suggestion. Your home is considered the final retreat point, and legally you should be safe in your "Castle." There is nowhere else to retreat to, etc. This is why you are able to immediately use deadly force.

However, it is NOT to protect your property, it is for protecting your LIFE. And once the burglar, for instance, has left your home... the threat to your life is considered neutralized, and deadly force is no longer authorized. So if a burglar runs out the door and down the street with your TV, you are no longer allowed to shoot after them because they are not threatening your life. You call the police, you file a claim with your insurance, and you get a new TV. If you shoot a burglar in the back down the street, you can and should be charged with murder.
While you are out in PUBLIC, this means a lot of things obviously. It means that there is far more scrutiny and boxes that must be checked in order to claim self defense. You must be in IMMINENT danger of losing life and limb. Getting into an argument and feeling scared of being punched by an unarmed person? Not likely to be a situation where deadly force is authorized. You MUST retreat.

If someone shoots at you or pulls a knife on you in the street, that is deadly force and can be met with deadly force. But if the person is unarmed, you cannot shoot them because you're afraid of a little scuffle. That is why Rittenhouse illegally shot the first protester, and it is one of the many reasons it cannot be considered self defense. The man threw a plastic bag with trash in it at him AND MISSED, and Rittenhouse shot him. He chased his victim and instigated a fight by brandishing and flagging people with his rifle, because he is an untrained idiot with a gun. The protester was not a threat, and even if he was, all he had to do was retreat back to the police line. He rushed at protesters with a gun drawn to pick a fight, and people are acting as if he were just there to keep the peace.

He fired INTO A CROWD, and it's a miracle he didn't hit more people. More people that hadn't thrown a plastic bag. More people that were just trying to protest police brutality, which is a real issue in this country.

And then when he did finally run away, some more protesters attempted to subdue him after he had already murdered someone, he tripped, and shot two people trying to stop him from shooting others.

The fact that the police didn't arrest him and take him into custody right then and there, even if they suspected it could be self defense, is a grave issue with that police department.

I could further dissect this situation, but for now I'm going to end with people passing around misinformation about the victims being "criminals so they deserved it."

First, there are no actual records of Jacob Blake or the people shot by Rittenhouse being in the official sex offender's registry. None of them raped a 14 year old girl years ago, that is complete fabrication being purposely spread by right wing extremist sites in order to try and justify the shootings.

Jacob Blake was indeed awaiting trial for sexual assault and trespassing, and did have a warrant for his arrest. It was not assault on a child, because that is a different charge with a different title. On the charging document, it would literally say that it was against a child. From what is publicly known, he allegedly broke into an ex girlfriend's house and allegedly assaulted HER, but he is innocent until proven guilty, and still deserves his day in court. He could truly be innocent.

Rittenhouse's victims do not appear to have had any record, and even if they did, he couldn't have known that at the time. You cannot insist a shoot was justified AFTER the fact because "that person was a criminal." Criminals have rights too, whether you like it or not, and it is enshrined in the very documents that built our country. If you don't like the constitution and bill of rights, I don't know what to tell you.

This is also not MY OPINION, this is literally how the criminal justice system and our laws work. I hold a degree in paralegal studies and served 8 years as an Army paralegal. I've worked for the criminal division in the Chicago US Attorney's Office, and currently work in federal law enforcement. This is what I do for a living, and I am not pulling this out of my ass, and my knowlege is a culmination of working in the field and being passionate about justice for 16 years. I'd be happy to send you sources and opines and case law and statutes if you need it. I did not get this from "mainstream media," and I am not brainwashed by the left. I'm an independent progressive.

May he face justice for what he did, and may we find a way to get on common ground before more fuses to this powder keg are lit.
This has been my Ted Talk.

If Babbit had been armed with an AR, things might have been different.

Fitst it is unlikely Rittenhouse will ever get the gun back. Right how when released as evidence in the Wisconsin trial, it will be subpoenaed in the "straw purchase" case in Illinois.
And if convicted of making a straw purchase, the firearm becomes criminal contraband and is destroyed.
