Rittenhouse ordered to stand trial

[JoeB131]

Its a marginally better idea to drop the child off with a gun, rather than without one.

Had the Rittenhouse boy not been armed, he would have undoubtably been killed and most likely molested by the pervert that he whacked.

Better for someone to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.

So now he's going to spend the next 20 years being molested by perverts in jail.

 

[Shelzin]

And several posters on this very board have publicly called for Rump to PARDON this piece of shit.

So conservatives clamoring to defend homicidal maniacs now. We live in interesting times.

No reason to pardon him... He shouldn't go to jail. He'll get hit for a couple lesser crimes... But...

If found guilty of his crimes he should certainly to go prison.

Depends on which crimes he's found guilty of. He is guilty of at least one.

That far too many on the right perceive Rittenhouse as some sort of ‘hero’ is a symptom of the disease that is conservativism.

*shrugs* I don't see him as a hero. Nor do I see him as someone who ... Well... You know the rest.

Looks like Kyle is going to stand trial for his alleged crimes:

Kyle Rittenhouse, teen charged with killings at Jacob Blake protest, ordered to stand trial

Kyle Rittenhouse — the 17-year-old charged with killing two people during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after the shooting of Jacob Blake — will stand trial on charges of felony homicide and other crimes, a court commissioner ruled Thursday.
During a preliminary hearing at Kenosha County Circuit Court, which was held via video link, commissioner Loren Keating ruled that there was enough evidence to send Rittenhouse to trial over the Aug. 25 killings of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26.
Rittenhouse also faces charges of possession of a dangerous weapon while under the age of 18 and felony attempted homicide for injuring a third man, Gaige Grosskreutz.
Lawyers for Rittenhouse argued that the teen, who has been praised by right-wing commentators and viewed sympathetically by the Trump administration, had acted in self-defense when he opened fire.
But Keating said those arguments were issues for trial — not a preliminary hearing. The teen’s lawyers also asked Keating to dismiss two charges, including possession of a dangerous weapon, but the commissioner declined, saying that was also an issue for trial.
Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, was released on $2 million bond last month, money mostly raised by conservatives through a legal defense fund.

And in related news..the 19yo who posed as a straw buyer for Kyle's gun has been charged:

19-year-old charged with illegally supplying gun to Kyle Rittenhouse

The friend of Rittenhouse, 17, purchased the gun later used to allegedly fatally shoot two men in Kenosha, Wisconsin, prosecutors say.

www.nbcnews.com

Charges have been filed against a 19-year-old man who prosecutors allege purchased and supplied the gun used by 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse in the fatal shootings of two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Dominick Black, of Kenosha, faces two felony counts of intentionally giving a dangerous weapon to a minor, causing death, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kenosha County Circuit Court. If he's found guilty, he faces up to 6 years in prison per count.
According to the criminal complaint, Black enlisted the help of Rittenhouse in guarding the Kenosha car dealership Car Source from property damage and looting. The complaint stated Black “volunteered to go out after curfew” and “asked Mr. Rittenhouse to join him.”

In interviews, the owner of Car Source has denied requesting help from either Black or Rittenhouse in protecting his dealership during the protests.

On his facebook page he had posted, "I'm just trying to be famous". Looks like Pop & Fresh is going to get his wish.

Is it a crime to want to be famous now? Rittenhouse did nothing wrong---he shot 3 convicted felons who were attacking him. He is to be commended not attacked for his actions. Turn Rittenhouse loose, lock up the corrupt DA maliciously prosecuting.

Actually, we need to lock him up as a warning to others... otherwise, we'll have people shooting each other in the streets because they "might" be threatening.

 

[Turtlesoup]

Hmm. The democrats bail out race rioters. Fact. People that burned down cities and race riots. Trump haters did this. The democrats constantly push this anti cop anti white narrative. Is this what the democrats think democracy has come to? Pandering to the lowest common denominator? Apparently.

Poor Kyle is just another victim of circumstances

He's the victim of a corrupt dem district attorney...........

Yeah, so was Manson.

To dumb to understand the difference of a convicted felon (Manson) ordering the murder of innocent people and of an innocent teen trying to help save Kenosha from being burned down shooting CONVICTED FELONS who were trying to murder him?

He will be fine.....the DA overcharged.....no way he gets convicted on those charges.....

Look forward to him running for Senate in 2022

We need to lock up what will be a good man rittenhouse for killing convicted felons to keep other people from what ? Killing other convicted felons?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

I would love to be on the jury, I'd find Kyle to be as innocent as a newborn babe.

Clear case of self defense. The so-called "victim" here was a child molester and Kyle was a child.

So why would a parent cross state lines with their child with a weapon to where there is civil unrest?

Who knows? A lot of people have been taking their kids to the Riots of 2020 since they started with the assassination of George Floyd. This wasn't the first by any stretch of the imagination, the parents probably thought it was appropriate.

I remember when I was a kid and riots were scheduled after MLK got clipped. I asked my dad if we could go, and he said "hell no".

What idiot parent would drop their child off with a gun in the middle of civil unrest.

Its a marginally better idea to drop the child off with a gun, rather than without one.

Had the Rittenhouse boy not been armed, he would have undoubtably been killed and most likely molested by the pervert that he whacked.

Better for someone to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.

Why would you drop him off at all?

Im not sure why you would be so hostile towards him. Sure he shouldnt have had a gun and he was young and out of his depth, but the videos speak for themselves. He was being chased down and attacked by some really bad guys with really bad intentions. The first dude threw a friggin molotov cocktail at him before he ever fired a shot. I mean, COME ON! He ran! He tried extremely hard to get away from that deranged Molotov cocktail throwing attacker. You see it in the video. He also ran from the next set of gun wielding attackers as hard as he could, but they caught him. What was he supposed to do?

He chose to run every single time until the absolute last second. He didnt want to shoot anyone, but they left him no choice. If we dont have a right to self defense, what kind of country do we live in?

Uhh...no..the victim threw a plastic bag..and missed. No Molotov cocktail. His chasers pulled their guns..at least one of them, anyway because Kyle had his gun out, his finger on the trigger. Had Kyle been at home..where he should have been....nothing would have happened. He put himself in that dangerous situation...poured gasoline on the fire..ran when it got too crazy--and opened fire blindly.

The first shot was fired behind Kyle by one of the rioters. That was captured on video. The assholes attacked Kyle because he had the temerity to extinguish one of their arson fires.

Don't want to get killed, don't set fires.

I really don't think so. The way he allegedly whacked the Chomos in Kenosha, I don't think they will even think of showing their face much less causing any shit for Rittenhouse in the joint- even if he was convicted ( a very improbable situation IMHO)

Yeah, YOUR hero's were the pieces of shit. Convicted child rapist. Convicted spousal rapist and torturer, and a convicted burglar, vs a kid who worked as a lifeguard.

You fuckers are going to lose.

Badly

"You fuckers are going to lose." Who are the fuckers and what are they losing?

Rittenhouse had no way to know about the prior convictions of those he shot that I'm aware of, so that doesn't seem all that relevant. The fact that Rittenhouse was attacked and tried to flee before the shootings seems like a much more important consideration.

It says a lot that you assholes care more about child rapists than a juvenile lifeguard who was PROVABLY rendering 1st aid to victims of the rioting from both sides.

It Al's is remarkable that EVERY person he shot, was a convicted violent felon.

Every single one. So, either the majority of your people are scumbags, or Kyle is the most unlucky person in the world.

WTF are you talking about? Did you think you were responding to someone else?

Who are 'my' people? What is it you think my post said?

Rittenhouse does not get to shoot people because they have been convicted of crimes in the past. I pointed out that that information isn't particularly relevant. The fact that Rittenhouse appeared to be attacked before he fired a shot, the fact that he appeared to be fleeing before falling and being attacked again, those things are far more relevant. Those are the things that I expect will keep him from being convicted on most of the charges.
