What do you think of the Rittenhouse case?

@HoraceGreenley should he be held accountable at all for anything that occurred that night?

@Babylon No...as far as I can tell he did not break the law. Defending yourself is not illegal.

@HoraceGreenley I have some thoughts that are rather interesting about this situation that occurred, with respect to Rittenhouse and his group's motivation and presence.

[quote]Rittenhouse left his hometown, took a gun, loaded it with ammo, and then traveled to a city at a specific time to meet protesters against police violence. Rittenhouse broke the same curfew of the area as the protesters. Rittenhouse had no property, business, or legal obligation to be present. Do you think that things went exactly as they should, knowing this?[/quote]

@Babylon Exercising bad judgement is not a crime. Being stupid is not a crime.

Just because you don't like what he did doesn't make him a criminal.

@HoraceGreenley that's great but I didn't ask you that. These actions are clearly intentional (as stupid as they may be). I just want to know if you think Rittenhouse should be held accountable for his decisions?

@Babylon most of that was proven in court incorrect

@Babylon He was held accountable and acquitted. He legally defended himself. Case closed

@MasterLee okay. Which of the following is wrong?

- Rittenhouse left his hometown (or area if that's more accurate)
- He took a gun with him intentionally
- He loaded his weapon with ammo
- He traveled to Kenosha at that specific time in preparation for the protesters he is against
- Rittenhouse was breaking curfew
- Rittenhouse had no property, business, or legal obligation to be present

@MasterLee you had 30 minutes to tell me just [u]one[/u]. You said [b]most [/b]of these were proven incorrect...

@HoraceGreenley I see where you're coming from. Do you think he was rightfully and righteously acquitted?

@Babylon

[quote]- Rittenhouse left his hometown (or area if that's more accurate)[/quote]

Not a crime.

[quote]- He took a gun with him intentionally[/quote]

False. He acquired it in Wisconsin

[quote]- He loaded his weapon with ammo[/quote]

Weapons are of little use unloaded. Not a crime.

[quote]- He traveled to Kenosha at that specific time in preparation for the protesters he is against[/quote]

Partially true. He went to help cleabup and armed himself in case the rioters were a danger to himself. Again, not a crime.

[quote]- Rittenhouse was breaking curfew[/quote]

What were the rioters doing? Having tea?

[quote]- Rittenhouse had no property, business, or legal obligation to be present[/quote]

Describes 90% of who was there.

@Babylon I have a life and I am not required to respond nor in your time frame.

@Babylon Righteous

@MasterLee I'm surprised you just ended up agreeing with quite literally everything. I guess I'm done unless there is anything you would like for me to address

@HoraceGreenley thank you for your input. Feel free to explain how it was righteous, unless you want to just say that the jury defines righteousness

@Babylon other than he is clearly not guilty of murder

@MasterLee I don't think he murdered anyone. It isn't even to the level of homicide either, taking Rittenhouse's stance

@Babylon ok he defended himself totally within the laws of the state of Wisconsin.
