Kyle Rittenhouse | Now crowdfunding LOLsuits against Whoopi Goldberg, LeBron James, and The Young Turks

That sets a pretty terrible precedent. I think i'd emigrate if i was living in america, I probably would have a long time ago tbh but this alone would be enough for me to bail out.
 
Just curious, but do you fear for the citizens of Kenosha from rioters?
Sure. But more so the former.

I just cant imagine an analogous situation in the UK where a guy decides to go into a crowd/riot in his best call of duty cosplaying fantasy vigilante mode, looking like an active shooter and a similar verdict being reached with people dead.

I mean i get the acquittal on the legal grounds, sort of, as presented but not morally, and worries for its implications for left wing protestors there from far right militia types who will be emboldened by this
 
He still killed 2 people, I dunno. I find it weird that you can just get off the hook free after killing 2 people

Alright. I fear for both sides as well
 
Am I right in understanding he wasnt legally permitted to carry the AR-15? Isnt there some repercussions for firing a weapon like that without a licence?

hows it looking for future civil suits etc? Or are we all just consigned to him being on fox/carpool karoke now?
 
@Drainy found guilty on all counts by the caf court but Rittenhouse cleared.
 
What's the atmosphere like amongst the crowd/protestors/supports outside? I fear there will be shootings in the wake of this.
 
Yep. Lived on the Eastern Shore for a little while when I was younger. I’ve been all over the great state of Maryland, and I know for a fact that @Drainy wouldn’t be considered a redneck by anyone
Neck mentality knows no latitude or longitude.

Not necessarily calling you one, but one can encapsulate said mentality in Greenland.

Left wing protesters just need to smarter. Surely the lesson here is if someone points a gun at you just shoot them.
 
Going to be interesting times here in WI. Add this to the GOP attempting to take over the voting commissions and the capitol will be awash in protests.

It's a way of thinking and has nothing to do with demographics. They can be found everywhere. They just hide under their fancy jobs and fancy clothes but deep down inside they are what they are.
 
A victory for special forces cosplayers everywhere, well, everywhere in the US at least.
 
He went there with the intent to kill. That's the bottomline.

But that intent cannot be proven, as the evidence shown, for this particular event(s), it was self defense. He was attacked, threatened, and harassed. The evidence and testimony is there.

Going into it, yes, the possibility of death at his hands was real. How he possessed his weapons in the first place and all that, it's highly questionable and illegal.
 
Judging by what I've read/seen in the last few days, this outcome makes sense. It's not surprising at all, imo. Leaving aside ideology and fear that this might become a precedence, it seems more justifiable than to sentence him guilty.
 
A travesty but at leat the state of Wisconsin has saved the city of Kenosha, Kenosha county and their local police force(s) from having to pay out $20 million in damages.
 
Fashist police state does fashist police state things.
 
did you see something everybody else missed? There was absolutely no indication of that. It’s dangerous to just make shit up about a person.

Yeah she saw an armed guy getting into a situation he knew he was not welcomed and his presence would cause hostility. Then you see how he behaved with his buddies, with the whole let's stir shit up mentality, and you put 2 and 2 together, it's not that hard.

And you two are also missing my point. I’m defending @Drainy and saying that he is nowhere near the definition of “redneck”
