The Rittenhouse Verdict

[Ray9]

The page is turning. The verdict is the beginning of a return to common sense. The result is huge for the real America!

Just saw on the news BLM out there dissing the trial. Screw those racists. Funny, most of them had rings in their nose like good little Democrat Marxists.

Hubert’s girlfriend (ring in nose) was crying about the personal loss. Anthony Huber did end up dead after all. She can feel the pain. It seems raw even now. Of course we feel sad for her. But just because the former girlfriend or wife of a dead rioter mourns his death doesn’t mean that the justice system engaged in any “fuckery” as she so eloquently said it.

Perhaps, the law enforcement needs to act like actual law enforcement.
No more of the defund the police. Maybe then there wouldn't be a need
for what happened.

Plus the judicial system needs to get tough with rioters, no more of this shit where a person is released the next day to go rioting and burning that night. If there's no deterrence then no one should be surprised when the same shit happens night after night. And besides the LE, the governor needs to do his/her damn job and call in the NG troops to restore law and order. How the people at the local and state level can stand back and do nothing is inconceivable to me. There's gotta be tougher laws with stiffer penalties that have to be enforced, otherwise sooner or later things are going to really get out of hand somewhere.

If anyone has anything to answer for it's the prosecution. They scuttled their case in the worst way. They pissed off the judge, they lied. They did not play by the rules and did nothing to hide it. The defense put Rittenhouse on the stand and animated him as a human being that got in over his head. The prosecution tried to run its case the same way the Washington Post and the New York times run their newspapers. People are sick of it.

but what are the ramifications? More people with more guns.

We can only hope that's true.

I hate it, but I understand it

The Wisconsin Lt Gov just gave antifa/blm the green light to burn it down!

What a clown.

The disappointing verdict is sure to embolden militant people who seek to take the law into their own hands. It also could increase and complicate self-defense claims if more people carry -- and use -- firearms in the streets. That's a scary prospect.

But further violence in response to the verdict won't help anyone. Our civil society must remain calm -- in Kenosha, in Madison and across the country.

Rittenhouse is no hero, as some of his defenders pretend. He behaved like a vigilante and didn't deserve to walk free, given his recklessness. Yet the law, unfortunately, skews in favor of shooters who claim self-defense. That needs to change.

"If Rittenhouse was justified in his actions, how does that apply if two people openly carry guns and point them at each other? Whose self-defense claim takes priority?"

Let them protest. AS LONG as they remain peaceful. They get out of hand, they need to be arrested.

At least.

The jury got it right—finding Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges. The fact that charges were brought before any serious investigation is evidence that the government was motivated by politics, which itself should be considered criminal.

Defending one's own life is not "militancy." It's "personal responsibility."

Is shooting people who are attacking you “taking the law into your own hands”?

Why didn't the police end that along with the NG. The politicians caused this not Kyle.

Violent protests should be ended from the onset. Not after whole neighborhoods are on fire.

Hubert was himself engaged in 'fuckery' so there is that......

Try this topic again, keep it civil, and within the board rules, and guidelines, and it can remain upstairs.
The first one didn't go so well.

The Rittenhouse verdict is in and "Not Guilty" on all charges.

KENOSHA, Wis., Nov 19 (Reuters) - A jury acquitted teenager Kyle Rittenhouse on Friday of murder in the fatal shooting of two men during racial justice protests in a decision thatignited fierce debate about gun rights and the boundaries of self defense in the United States.

The jury found Rittenhouse, 18, not guilty on all charges: two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide for wounding a third man, and two counts of recklessly endangering safety in protests marred by arson, rioting and looting on Aug. 25, 2020 in Kenosha, Wisconsin.


Rittenhouse broke down sobbing after the verdict and collapsed to the floor before being helped back into his chair.

Amid a heavy law enforcement presence, several dozen protesters lined the steps outside the courthouse after the verdict was read, some carrying placards in support of Rittenhouse and others expressing disappointment.

I believe this was a fair verdict, and also another example of what happens when prosecutors bow to media and political pressure and try a case that has no business being tried. A waste of taxpayer money and a pathetic display of the leftist hate-based agenda.

 

[Dayton3]

Does this verdict encourage vigilantism? Are we going to see more people carrying guns at places of violence and riots

Isn't that where a gun SHOULD be carried?

 

[toobfreak]

All I can say is, there was some actual justice served in this courtroom.

Naw. Justice went out the door with the prosecution taking this kid to court and trying to hang him. He is out attorney's fees, and much much more, not to mention sleep and nerves.

The innocent verdict merely limited further damage and starts the second phase now where the real battle begins with a world of woke SJWs who all think that real justice is up to THEM when things don't go as they wanted.

Hubert was himself engaged in 'fuckery' so there is that......

Fair point!

 

[Leo123]

The idiot goes Scott free, there is no justice in America anymore.

So a judge, a trial and a jury equals no justice to you? Are you an American? Frankly, most the BLM rioters seen destroying property, starting fires in Kenosha that night got off Scott free for the most part. They should ALL be hunted down, arrested and jailed.

"If Rittenhouse was justified in his actions, how does that apply if two people openly carry guns and point them at each other? Whose self-defense claim takes priority?"

That’s a rhetorical question that’s irrelevant to the Rittenhouse incident.
