Kyle is a great American hero.
No, he was a scared kid with a gun. He's not a "hero"...
A lot of people are scared when they go into battle for the first time. Doesn't mean they aren't heroes.
Well, being a combat Vet, I agree with you.
But Rittenhouse wasn't going into battle. He wanted to play "Army"...
He successfully guarded a business from rioters and when separated from his group by the police, and attacked by a mob, defended himself, killing two of them and wounding a third.
That sounds like a battle to me.
As a society we need more of that.
Well, regardless how you see it, I believe that young man is going to end up on the shit end of the stick. Given the fact that he traveled from another State and took possession of an illegal firearm, he'll likely be charged as an adult.
I got ten bucks that says this kid is fucked...
IN a sane world, the fact that he was attacked by a violent mob, and was obviously in real danger to his life and limb, would outweigh any other considerations and he would never have even been charged.
That he is even being charged, is an example of how sick we are, as a society.
So, ten bucks? Yea? Nay?
What the hell do you want to bet on asshole?
Go look at the videos. They are posted all over the internet.
The clearest case of self defense ever.
Kyle is a political prisoner.
Stop gurgling on your husband's balls and pay attention.
I believe Kyle Rittenhouse will either plea out or be convicted of a crime.
I'm not saying that I think it's right that he's found guilty of a crime, but I am saying that I believe that's exactly what's going to happen.
It's like when the Jets play... well, anyone. I don't want them to lose, but I know they're going to. Ergo, I would bet on whoever they're playing because, right now, the Jets couldn't beat our local high school team.
So, ten bucks? Yea or nay?
Do you want this kid to go to jail for the rest of his life?
It's not a question of whether or not I want him to. What I "want" is of absolutely no consequence.
I'm saying that I believe the kid will go to jail for the rest of his life, or at least for a good portion of it...
There is Law and there is Justice.
Do you think it would be a good thing for this kid to go to jail for a good portion of his life?
