If Rittenhouse wins, AMERICA wins.

Both are tragedies. Did anyone protest the arrest of David Dorn's killers? Did anyone come to their defense? No.

As far as the "convicted felons" pictured, the charges aren't accurate for Huber at least, he had a use of a dangerous weapon charge, not illegal weapon and wasn't a convicted felon.

Really though, past crimes don't matter unless they are relevant to the case at hand.

A pedophile is dead. The world is a better place.

Rosenbaum? Maybe. He seemed unstable....

But none of that has anything to do with whether Kyle is guilty. It's just a distraction, which is why the otherwise defense friendly judge didn't allow that information.

No. But if a person has a history of violence, then a person's claim of self defense is far more credible. Past behavior is usually a fair indicator.

If any of the past behavior correlated, then that is fair. The closest would be assault and battery for Huber, which I assume is referring to him threatening his grandmother and brother and choking his brother when he was 18. Not exactly a great character reference, but it doesn't really correlate to any action that night.

They all have something in common . . . all three assaulted Kyle Rittenhouse. And Rittenhouse did what we all have the right to do under the second amendment . . . defend himself from the assault.

I agree, but I still think he deserves the reckless endangerment charges. The prosecution has argued that it was a war zone and so dangerous that Kyle should have been in fear for his life, but he went into that area without backup. When he took on the role of law enforcement or militia he needed to also adhere to a higher standard. A well regulated militia would have partnered him with someone more seasoned, especially given that they one of his fellows stated he was under-equipped and under-experience.

Honestly, I'm not going to hate on the jury if they let him off, because it would be a tough call.

"The prosecution has argued that it was a war zone and so dangerous that Kyle should have been in fear for his life, but he went into that area without backup."

This is why I'm not a leftist (modern liberal) and instead I'm a Conservative. Because I don't think like that. I think rationally and I understand the Constitution the way it was intended.

If Kyle is acquitted of all charges and so are the McMichael's (Arbury), I think things are going to get bad.

Despite radicalizing factions and a narrative of extremism on both the left and right - nobody tried to assassinate Chauvin. There were no plots to kill Trump or Biden for that matter, or at least none that made the news. We mostly work within the system. Even the race riots and Jan 6 weren't as bad as they could have been - people have been killed, but it could have been much worse.

If it goes that way, then it's seemingly self defense to be the shooter whether you shoot the people chasing you, or you shoot the person you chased when they fight back.

the message becomes that the left is bringing skateboards to gun fights. I worry that it wouldn't take a very large number of people reaching that conclusion before not people shit first. Then it becomes an arms race.

It needs to be shown that there is a difference between defending yourself and your property and forming a militia to do it. I actually think that group did good work that night. But a well regulated militia would have identified that there were threats issued and told members not to wander.

Based on your opinion, I'm assuming?

No, my comment is based on reality. If you think all this shit happening around us is normal you're not too smart. Maybe it's utopia for you, but that just proves my point.
