Kyle Rittenhouse goes to trial

[Hispida]

I'd have agreed with the death penalty if this had been the crime in question.

This is a joke. I should not have to clarify that, but, apparently, y'all advocate death too much.

I would long since have been put to death if it were a crime.... Hopefully with Thanksgiving near the riots in Portland do not get worse.

at the current moment i am wearing sandals, sweatpants, and a hoodie with no shirt in 40 degree weather after showering. get on my level.

No one rushed to help the guy with the gun? Huh.

We're pondering a lot of ifs when the situation turned out as safely for Rittenhouse as it probably could have given he was assaulted by a man who had threatened to kill multiple people that night. PTSD is better than taking a serious beating from a larger ex-felon and a riled up mob - which likely would still lead to PTSD.

Why do we imagine that a mob would have been beating Rittenhouse, had he not had a gun?

Have there been many instances of people other than the police harming medics at the BLM protests?

There's been a history of people who were uninvolved or not perceived to being involved on the "proper side" being beaten at protests, yes.

Hell, the other medic, Gaige Grosskreutz, was illegally carrying a concealed handgun for the exact same reason.

I’m currently sitting on the back porch wondering what this cold weather that everyone keeps talking about is. I’ll probably jump into the pool later as it’s supposed to get to 80°

Regarding the trial? Is this how it went down?

This is just an interview with Rittenhouse. It barely discusses the trial at all.

I do agree with him that there was prosecutorial misconduct, and do think he's innocent under the law given the facts of what happened. He still made some really bad decisions, but that's not illegal.

Child rapists aren't really representatives of the entire "BLM movement" generally. To whatever degree you can even act like BLM is a unified group/movement and not just a commonly adopte slogan by disparate racial advocacy groups.

Rittenhouse, by the way, says it has nothing to do with "BLM commies."

Rosembaum wasn't a protester, iirc neither was Huber or Grosskreutz.

Correct. My understanding is that they weren't really there for ideological reasons much, but rather were just shitbags that saw chaos and wanted some.

More or less.

For the record, Rittenhouse also apparently supports the BLM movement. He said as much on Tucker's show.

Yup! I believe I noted that.

And I honestly believe he was being genuine. There was really no other motivation for dropping that one honestly.

He had more to gain by just... not, honestly.

to be fair, they beat him despite the gun.

Generally speaking assaulting someone who is visibly armed is not really in your self interest.

For all the talk about "why was Kyle even there?" and "where was his common sense approaching the crowd like that?" I have yet to hear someone ask the question "Why were these people engaging in a riot and assaulting a guy who was strapped?"

I made the mistake of looking at the comments of that article. Don’t look at them if you value your brain cells.

Well, the rioters aren't noted for being that bright.

Naturally, otherwise they wouldn't be rioters
