What do you think of the Rittenhouse case?

I think it went exactly as it should.
@PrivateHell I have a question for you, then. 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?

@Babylon It is inaccurate to say others had no weapons. A skateboard whacked against someone's head is definitely a weapon...just not the normal.
"Rittenhouse was shortly back on video running from protestors and fell. While Rittenhouse was on the ground, Huber hit Rittenhouse in the head with what appeared to be a skateboard, at which point Rittenhouse shot and killed Huber. Grosskreutz was then seen approaching Rittenhouse with a handgun, and Rittenhouse shot and injured him."
@Babylon first of all, there are serious holes in your interpretation, which are not your fault. You are clearly going by what the media has told (and not told) you. So please do not take this as i am trying to argue or cause trouble, because i am not. Just a discussion.

Now, as to Rittenhouse's "legal obligation" to be there... in America none is required. But, he works in Kenosha, his parents live there (along with aunts and uncles), and at least two of the "protesters" involved had less of a reason to be there (no ties at all) than he did.

He did not illegally carry a gun over state lines, that was established in the trial, and dropped as part of the illegal firearms charges.

Rittenhouse only pointed his weapon and fired after being repeatedly struck by at least two of the men (one attempted to kick him in the head) and having a pistol pointed at him and fired, missing him.

Two of the men killed were convicted felons, one a child rapist and the other a wife beater. While the guy with the gun was a felon in illegal posession of a gun himself.

Rittenhouse actually saved lives by being there, when he stopped and extinguished a dumpster fire that was being rolled to a gas station to blow it up.

The media has lied and hid facts from the start as they always do. All of this i have said is on record thanks to the trial. Justice was indeed served and the media should be sued into oblivion.
@SW-User when you say this:
[quote]It is inaccurate to say others had no weapons[/quote]
Did you read somewhere in my response that others had no weapons?

Or are you responding to someone else?

@Babylon For some reason, I cannot reply to a comment you made that shows maps and you have commented that Rittenhouse shot people with no weapons...if I am correct.
What I wish to make clear is that even a fist or a foot can be a weapon. I also want to say that if anyone were to try to take my gun away, I'd feel obligated to stop the fool.
@SW-User I think you need to reread what I wrote carefully if you're talking about that response. Also, replying to it directly will help me understand which comment you're replying to

@Babylon I just said I can't reply to it. There is no "reply" space for me to click on. It's really odd.

@SW-User oh, my bad. I completely understand. I think you may be blocked by the commenter, then 😅
Regardless, if you read that response carefully, you'll see that Rittenhouse clearly shoots unarmed men and one armed man. I mention that explicitly if you read it

@RogueLoner That's confusing. I am replying to all other comments Babylon makes.

@Babylon I need to leave for work. I will stick with the thought I don't believe Kyle shot anyone who wasn't attempting to harm him in some way...
SW-User
@RogueLoner So? I don't care what the fool has to say. I should still be able to comment to Babylon's comment.
Does that work the same if it's someone I blocked?

@SW-User I hope your work goes well. Something to think about it when talking about responsibility with firearms and when to shoot, Rittenhouse was approached by a man who was also armed and came right up to him with a gun and was talking to him and wanted to disarm him without shooting Rittenhouse at point blank range. Rittenhouse ends up shooting him, too.

I heard a user here claim that what was said was a threat but I don't think the guy trying to disarm him was trying to harm him at all

@Babylon If anyone came up to me and tried to take my gun, my bow, my child, my money... I'm not going to let it happen without a fight. Stupidest thing a person can do is try to drag a person's weapon out of their arms and I don't believe for a second that guy was just being helpful.

@RogueLoner Well.... I guess that means I have to make my own topics so I can comment on things completely!! 🤣🤣🤣 Just too funny! lol
