Kyle Rittenhouse a hero? (update - not guilty on all charges)

[AUDub]

What's not to like? A chickenhawk (aren't they all?) country music singer who shills for those who dig false patriotism? I mean, I can listen to Toby all day long while I'm driving my 4x4, looking for lib'ruls to blow black coal from my exhaust pipes.

"Hear that subtle mandolin?"

 

[crimsonaudio]

It's not the only offense involved, either. It's right there in question "21.a" in bold. Lie, and you've also made a false statement on a federal form, a separate offense...

Yup, lying on a 4473 is pretty stupid, LOL.

I understand the defense had put him on the witness list, which means they don't necessarily have to call him. IN view of the 4473 problem, I wonder if they really will...

The BATFE will get him regardless. They don't take kindly to people lying to them.

My bad - Black, the friend, testified first. He's already been charged, two counts of providing a weapon to an illegal person leading to death. He hopes that his testifying will lead to leniency, although I don't understand that reasoning. Putting that kid out on the street armed was equivalent to throwing an armed IED out on the street. I noticed a couple of the shots of him show his finger through the trigger guard. He said once along the way that he wished he had a pistol instead. The victims could have used that too. Might have survived...

My quick take is that Rittenhouse goes free of most of the charges. There are a few that may stick, but none of the ones that will assign fault for 2 people losing their lives.

Whats disappointing is that this is yet another thing that is amounting to a cultural battle line that everyday Americans are getting into shouting matches over whether this guy is guilty or the circumstances are likely to end in him avoiding jail time for murder. You can think he’s a murderer all day long, but browbeating someone else into agreeing isn’t doing anything but isolating potential partners on other issues. It almost feels as if we are to the point where unless I agree with everything on one side or the other, I’m voted out of the tribe.

While all of that is disappointing, it is going to be the results of this trial that will show the truly despicable behavior. Rittenhouse will become a poster boy for the right, a figure head for gun rights, and held up as an example of how American principles stood up to woke socialist culture. He deserves none of those things, yet this whole poopshow is amounting to a touchdown dance for Republicans where the appearance of winning is far more important than actually doing the right thing.

Indeed - this shouldn't be political but it will be used for political gain.

Sad state we're in.

Any chance he could get the max sentence in a felony illegal weapons charge? This is the whole reason for mail fraud claims.

Unless I missed it the only firearm charge is the misdemeanor for someone under age 18 open carrying a rifle.

Kenosha Police Officer Brittany Bray:
"Are you familiar with AR-15s?"
"Yes."
"How are you familiar?"
"I own them. I've shot them. I've trained with them."

So now we are worried about who the nation makes poster boys?

 

[chanson78]

Proud boys sounds awfully similar to poster boys so I understand how it’s possible to confuse the two.

 

[B1GTide]

So now we are worried about who the nation makes poster boys?

What nation? We are no longer a nation. A significant percentage of our population does not even recognize our sitting president as such.

As much as I despised Trump when he was president, never once did I pretend that he was illegitimate or even consider supporting a coup.

I haven’t followed this mess as closely as most…I think I heard that the shooter’s mother drove him across a state line to get him there in the first place. i just wonder if that’s true, and he was bringing his rifle…what was his mother thinking?

”Honey, did you pack enough extra ammo?“

Maybe he got the gun after he got there, I’m not sure.

he carried the gun with him. he went looking for trouble and found it, but because we have very weird self defense laws and the prosecutor seems like an idiot, he will likely walk.

I’ve seen the mother on tv crying in the courtroom over her son’s awful situation. But my understanding is she took him there in the first place.
