Rittenkiller

Kyle only shot people who were directly attacking him. You are vile, slanderous slime.

I agree, after a fashion. Despite everything I think he showed up to do what he thought was right and to defend a business. Based on video footage he and the group managed that.

I say he put himself in a dangerous situation and his negligence lead to the deaths. I think the reckless endangerment, reckless homicide, and possession of a dangerous weapon should stick.

He was engaged in vigilantism (dictionary definition) and carrying a firearm illegally. Had he stayed with his group and not wandered off, things probably would have been fine.

I think the judgement will depend on:
1. How big a deal is it that he wasn't legally allowed to have that gun?

2. How did he get separated from the group?

3. Is there a legal expectation that he shouldn't have fled the scene after shooting Rosenbaum?
At the point where he had shot someone and was fleeing, I'm not sure you can argue that pursuit wasn't justified.

4. Can the case be made that Huber and Grosskreutz were just trying to stop him from feeing or were they trying to do harm. I would argue Grosskreutz didn't fire on him.

5. Why didn't he turn himself in to the police on the spot? He gets zero credit from me for turning himself in the next day - he was already identified on social media.

"Fled the scene"?? He was being pursued by a mob of violent extremists.
I can argue that the idiots "pursuing" Kyle were the anagonists in this scenario.
If you claim that Kyle was a "vigilante" for protecting businesses agianst looting the cops were ignoring, then I can claim that the three losers shot were also engaged in "vigilantism" when they "pursued" him.

Kykle didn't "fled the scene" he was running to the cops, who basically ignored him, looking for help. They ignored him.

He will be exonerated.

Vigilante - a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.

I guess you could call them vigilantes, but I would argue they weren't a self appointed group. Unlike Kyle and company who came for the purpose, they were reacting in the moment.

The cops ignored him - He killed someone and then ran away - I don't know that he knew where cops were to run towards. Maybe yes, maybe no. The initial fleeing was likely justified. I won't second guess his decision to remove himself in the moment.

But he called his friend, not 911

He didn't turn himself into police when he had the opportunity. Maybe he tried to and the cops weren't listening. But it didn't look like an earnest attempt in the video. I bet they will call the cop he waved down the street during the trial. I wonder what Kyle said to him. Did he say someone is hurt, someone is chasing me, I just shot someone...I wonder if we'll find out.

He didn't drive to the nearest police station.

He only turned himself in after it was all over social media. Maybe he would have turned himself in anyway, but I don't think that looks good for him.

I've never shot anyone, so I don't know what was in his head. And I will admit he has points in his favor. One of the guys he aimed at sopped advancing and backed away and he didn't fire.

I really do think he didn't intend any harm, but he also came armed to do a job he wasn't trained or mature enough for. Someone practicing medicine without a medical license is responsible for the harm they cause (example). I don't think he deserves life in jail, but he doesn't deserve no charges either. I really don't know which way this is going to go...I suspect he'll get off, or just get the endangering someone else charge.

They weren't "self-appointed". They were invited by the local community businesses, since the local cops weren't doing THEIR job.

Nonsense.
He excercised very good control. He didn't shoot indiscrimenantly, he only fired at those who actually attacked him first, and his aim was spot-on, even though he was under extreme stress and out-numbered. Not too bad for a seventeen year-old.
And it isn't illegal for him to be in possesion of that weapon.

He handled himself pretty well as far as weapon control goes.

And when I saw the video of the group he was with calmly guarding the gas station, not antagonizing or anything, I honestly concluded they were there doing a good thing. I support BLM, not rioters or people destroying businesses.

My issues are the decisions that led him there. He was walking around acting like he was trained, when he wasn't. Anyone with training wouldn't have been separated from the rest of the group like he was. But I'm not on the jury. I'm just sharing my thoughts.

Its definitely against the law for a 17 year old to have a gun open carry in Wisconsin. His attorney has said he plans to argue that the law is unconstitutional under the 2nd amendment.. good luck with that.

Apparently he had some training.

Lemmee ask you this...would you have been happy if KR were killed by that mob?

No. Absolutely not.

But I reject the implication that those were the only two options. Maybe in the moment, but he made some bad decisions to get to that moment. I'm fairly certain the two he killed are the only two people to die at any of the Wisconsin protests.

Of the 25 people confirmed to have died at the protests, 2 of them were killed by Kyle Rittenhouse. That makes him responsible for 8% of the deaths associated with the protests.

Aww, I triggered people quicker than Kyle Rittenkiller did as he gunned them down... i mean treated their injuries

Sure thing. So where are his EMT gear? Other than his widdle pwastic gloves. Did you go see JFK Jr? Cause you're f**king gulliable.

He'll be a good little school shooter some day.

Yup. Because he'll be set free. The moment the judge said "The people he shot can't be referred to as victims. Instead they'll be called rioters" he was set free by a morally corrupt judge.

The judge clearly is "unbiased". In fact, they weren't even brought to a court. You know how i know? F**KING RITTENKILLER GUNNED THEM DOWN LIKE A COWARD.

Yep. The fix is in.

He will be aquitted.

A picture out of context is just any story you want to tell.

So many blocked comments... good thing I have several other captions for this wonderful picture of young Kyler Rittenkiller. I'll be triggering you crybabies for days! Y'all come back tomorrow!

If not for outright lies, you'd have nothing to say at all.
Funny how you think defending scumbag arsonists, looters and pedophiles trying to kill Kyle is taking the moral high ground.
