Kyle Rittenhouse: Teen's homicide trial for Kenosha shootings opens with jury selection

[BlueGin]

Wrong.
No sane person brings a rifle to a protest, much less then goes alone into the other side.
He clearly deliberately was trying to provoke exactly what happened.
So then he has responsibility for all the consequences.

The protest in Kenosha was valid over a bad cop shooting.
So then Rittenhouse was the bad guy from the start.
Anti democracy, pro elitist police violating the law.

You mean violent riot.

 

[Correll]

Bringing a gun to a protest shows an intent of deliberate murder.
The only reason for any leniency is that he may have been too young to know better, so I am not sure he should have the whole rest of his life ruined?

Nope. He brought it, to deter aggression from the mob.

Unfortunately the police refused to let him rejoin his group, so he was a lone target for the mob to attack.

 

[Rigby5]

It was not a protest, it was a riot. He brought the rifle to protect property.


He was alone, because the police did not let him rejoin his group.


Rittenhouse was obviously the good guy, which is why you bad guys are hostile to him.

The police had any potential for riot under control, and Rittenhouse was not a local with any property to protect.
Nor was he doing anything to protect property, which would have meant staying with others to form defensive perimeters.
He was instead going up to individuals and challenging them.
The police and counter demonstrators most certainly did let people join them, and Rittenhouse immediately did run to the police after he started shooting.

It was not Rittenhouse's city, property, or interests.
He did not even know which side was in the right.
Nor is a rifle the right way to express political beliefs.
What if all the demonstrators or rioters had been carrying rifles?
The police would have had to shoot them.
Anyone carrying a rifle had to be shot.
No one can be allowed to carry a rifle in a demonstration or riot, (except the individual property owners, on their own property).

 

[Rigby5]

You mean violent riot.

Doesn't matter if demonstration or riot.
Anyone who is not on their own property, and is carrying a rifle, should be shot.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Anyone who is not on their own property, and is carrying a rifle, should be shot.

Good to see you advocate the murder of people you do not approve of.

 

[maybelooking]

Defense cross..........the witness says he believes Kyles attackers were going to take his gun from him!!!!!!!!

 

[Rigby5]

Nope. He brought it, to deter aggression from the mob.

Unfortunately the police refused to let him rejoin his group, so he was a lone target for the mob to attack.

Nope, he brought it illegally, in order to increase aggression towards those he did not like.
The police did not refuse to let him rejoin his group.
That is clear because after he shot, he ran towards the police and counter demonstrators.
He knew where they were and they were not turning anyone away.

 

[Rigby5]

Good to see you advocate the murder of people you do not approve of.

No, but to deliberately carry a rifle into a heated emotional exchange, is totally and completely unacceptable.
No sane and rational person would ever do that.
If the police see people in the riot carrying rifles, they would be forced to shoot out of self defense.
They could not wait to be shot at first.
Same with the demonstrators/rioters.
They can not and do not have to wait for someone to start murdering them.
They would have to pre-emptively shoot anyone carrying a rifle.

 

[Rigby5]

"Active shooters" don't run away from their targets.

You are a liar.

Yes they do, when they realize they just murdered someone and they realize they need to pretend there was a reason for doing that and they have to pretend they were frightened.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Defense cross..........the witness says he believes Kyles attackers were going to take his gun from him!!!!!!!!

And therefore justifying Kyle shooting them in self-defense.

 

[Rigby5]

And therefore justifying Kyle shooting them in self-defense.

Wrong.
He brought the gun, he was the one frightening and intimidating people.
You can't claim self defense when you deliberately caused all the risk by causing risks to others.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Wrong.

Then you lied.
Because if you actually meant what you said, then you advocate the murdfer of people you don't approve of.
Did you lie or do you advocate murder?

 

[DudleySmith]

lol these commie ****** trolls never realize how stupid their lying is; they're far too dependent on their troll farms for their 'info'.

 

[theHawk]

You have no evidence about the backgrounds of them and least of all communists. You're big mouth is belching hatred and ignorance.

A hero? You've got a weird perception of heroism. But basically, you love him because you are a racist right wing redneck nut case who hates everything you perceive to be lefties. A really well grounded grip on life. Classic ignorant Republican.

LOL the guy that got his arm blown off is a self avowed communist, and was wearing a Satanic cult symbol bandana on his neck.

What protests cause over 11M in damage to innocent people?

Give it up goober

Wrong.
I advocate the murder of anyone provocatively bringing a rifle to a demonstration/riot that has not already resulted in gunshot deaths.

 

[westwall]

I never disagreed. I said the crowd reacted to what they perceived. Like the skateboard guy. He thought he was defending the crowd from an active shooter.

A laughable assertion.

Bringing a gun to a protest shows an intent of deliberate murder.

No, it shows that you value your life. Funny how you aren't bleating about the rioters who were armed, no doubt your logic would be "but they have to be able to defend themselves from the property owners trying to save their lives and livlihoods!"

**** off nazi prick.

 

[westwall]

Then you lied.

Well, he is a fascist troll, so he is a firm supporter for murdering those he doesn't like.

 

[Rigby5]

Rittenhouse killed 2 and shot a third, so clearly the constant that is then responsible is Rittenhouse, not anyone else.
Obviously anyone bringing a rifle to an event like a demonstration/riot, is a immediate threat to life, who then can and should be killed.
