Unfortunately, only if you have something like Youtube TV or something you pay for that gives you cable.

But it should be on Foxnews.com later tonight or tomorrow.

He killed two people. That is undeniable.

So what's your point? He killed two people so he should be found guilty irregardless of the circumstances?

He had every legal right to be there. If you don't like that fact, be upset with the laws and not him.

Are you not upset with the guy who actually couldn't legally possess a firearm and chased him down?

Were the people who he defended himself against some sort of upstanding citizens or heros to you?

I dont get it

Nah, fuck that. He crossed state lines.

He actually didn't cross state lines with the firearm. The firearm was already in Wisconsin.

There's so many misconceptions and falsehoods about the case coming from people who never really followed the trial.

Except for the fact that Rittenhouse was 17 and therefore could not legally possess a firearm. I don't have an issue with the self defense part, but I do think it's weird they also threw that charge out too.

He actually could legally possess the firearm. Which is why it was thrown out

You aren't protesting in the middle of the night, during a curfew. Burning cars...

Also, funny enough. Mr. One bicep actually traveled further to get to Kenosha then Rittenhouse.

"Mr. One bicep" is a major work of art, for sure. He assaulted his grandmother, sold stolen Playstations, broke the windows of his ex's place, and was a drunk driver. And chased Rittenhouse down and pointed an illegal weapon at him.

But Rittenhouse is the one who should be blamed? It's all a joke. Even this CE poll shows most people agree with the outcome.

He was there exercising his civil right to protest.

Rittenhouse also had a legal right to be there and a right to legally open carry. If you disagree with that, you should be more upset about the laws than someone exercising their right to be there and having to defend themselves while running away.

Objectively speaking, yes. The video shows enough of what's going on to say his claim is validated.

Now do I think he isn't to blame? Hell no. He knew what he was trying to accomplish and he did it. The fact he can get away with it is just convenience.

But as far as a juror weighing on a matter of beyond reasonable doubt? It's not and you have to do what you're called to do.

You honestly think he went there expecting to kill people? You think his sole purpose for going there was to hopefully kill someone and get away with it?

He showed incredible restraint, in my opinion, during the times he was being chased. He never pointed his weapon or fired upon anyone who wasn't an imminent threat. He never pointed his weapon at people, which was evidenced in the trial. He never instigated or taunted anyone. He never called people names even though he was being called names.

Is the app a requirement to start their car? Or is there another alternative?

That's pretty scary tbh. Imagine if there was an emergency situation with your family and you had to get to them, or had to get to a hospital, or any emergency, really.... and you can't start your car because it's electric and controlled by some app?

I will avoid ever buying an electric car. Only unless the travel range drastically increases and the charge time would be about the same time as it takes to fill up your tank. I travel a lot on the highways and couldn't imagine doing my travels in an electric car with the current technologies.

I don't think he (or anyone) deserves life in prison either. I just wished there had been some prison time, because that's the system we have and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people in prison right now who also exercised their right to self-defense, but the judges weren't as forgiving.

Everyone did act stupidly, but since two of them are dead now I can't expect either of them to face legal charges. Gaige Grosskreutz also committed a crime, but he didn't kill anyone so I'm not expecting the same level of scrutiny.

How much is some prison time and for what? What exactly is the reason you think he should serve some time? Because he went there in the first place? Most of what the prosecutors charged were pretty hefty sentences. The ones that were less sort of piggybacked off of the larger charges and really wouldn't make much sense to charge them for one but not the other.

If you think it should be illegal for someone to bring a firearm to a protest or gathering of people, you should be upset with the laws in place and blame them. Don't hope someone gets prison when he was legally allowed to be there and possess the weapon.

@ThanksUglyGod

In the previous topic that reached 500, you replied to someone saying, "I didn't say it was illegal. I just think it's dumb to go to a riot because something like this could happen."

I think it's kind of dumb to go there, too. It's not something I would have done. But the fact is that he did go there and he did have the legal right to do so. Just because someone makes a bad decision doesn't mean they deserve to spend the rest of their life in prison (which is what a few of the charges would have resulted in, given that they were mandatory life sentences).

The fact is, decisions were made from all sides and he ended up getting attacked and had to defend himself. Why do you think he should be found guilty? I just can't wrap my mind around that. Why did the first attacker attack Rittenhause in the first place? Was that a dumb thing to do? Why did the second attacker chase him down and hit him with a skateboard? Was that a dumb thing to do? Why did the third person bring a gun illegally and pull it out and point it at him? Was that a dumb thing to do?

There were other people that also shouldn't have been there that night, doing things that were actually illegal.

This means you can cross state lines with a gun you don't own and kill anyone you want as long as you claim self-defense.

I'm sure there will be consequences of this verdict.

If you were paying attention to the trial, the gun was already in Wisconsin. Kyle did not travel with the gun.

Claim self defense??? It was self defense. Watch below:

Why not? Did someone not kill someone else?

Odd take to decide what people should and shouldn't get angry about.

Not to say people aren't upset over death occurring. But clearly the anger today is about the outcome of the verdict, not whether someone died.

If we use your logic, the president would have tweeted the same thing tonight if Rittenhouse was found guilty. Which, we know he wouldn't have tweeted the same thing.

Innocent people die violent deaths all the time. No magical aura of protection was visited upon him because he was "innocent".

I don't think you're understanding the question as I'm asking it.

I'm not asking from a standpoint of ethics or justice. I'm asking "why wasn't Kyle Rittenhouse killed that night?"

What I believe you're trying to insinuate is that even black people who are armed and acting peacefully at an event would be gunned down by police. Is that right? That is simply not the case. There are several examples where armed black people have attended rallies.

Rittenhouse wasn't killed that night because he had a legal right to be there and open carry. He wasn't killed because he wasn't acting in an aggressive manner. And ultimately, he wasn't killed because he defended himself against people attacking him.

You guys are foolish to think this shouldn't have gone to trial. Regardless of how the trial was conducted and regardless of the verdict.

Why? The video evidence was pretty obvious he was defending himself. If the prosecution wanted to get him on curfew charges or something, they should have just charged him with that.

I think people who watched the trial and paid attention should be happy with this outcome.

The main takeaway here should be how dirty the prosecution acted. Whether it was maliciously or just plain incompetence, they opened themselves up to 2 motions for mistrials because what they did was that fucked up.

With respect to the gun charge, the second the prosecution was asked to measure the barrel, they dropped the issue. They knew the change wasn't gonna hold but went it with anyway and hoped no one would notice.

I implore people to at least watch the prosecution's closing argument and their rebuttal to the defense. It's full of lies and outright moronic shit like "everybody takes a beating sometimes, right?"

These are the tactics used to fuck anybody and everybody and we saw it happen live. Nobody should be mad that shit was thwarted and the jury made the right choice.

I know people keep saying the judge was biased, which he was not, but the prosecution never had anything irrespective of that. Not to mention that the court is supposed to be biased towards the defendant due to the state having unlimited resources.

Anyway, people should not be sad this happened, and those on the right should not be happy like some war was won. Rittenhouse is not a hero. It was a fucked up situation and he got out alive. He's still a fucking idiot for getting involved in the first place.

Good take. But I would disagree people on the right shouldn't be happy. The prosecution brought charges only from a partisan lens. He should have never been charged. It would set a dangerous precedent for self defense in America if he was found guilty

Who said life in prison?

Not guilty on any and all charges l? Not gunna fly with me.

I think all the charges concerning the killing of the people who attacked him all had mandatory life sentences, given what the prosecution charged him with.

I'm not sure about the other charges, but they didn't really carry much, if any, prison time

*edit: there were some other charges in there that did carry longer prison sentences, but it does seem they were connected to self defense and piggybacked off of the main charges carrying life sentences

Hope that prick enjoys being the next OJ Simpson. He won't be getting an easy life or a moment's rest like everyone thinks that he will.

He will most likely be haunted everywhere that he goes & will most likely have to go into hiding to avoid being beaten up, or worse. No sane employer will hire him, given that he's now searchable on Google. No sane individual will want to be associated with him or will want to be his friend. No sane girl or woman will ever date him, especially given the video that he had beaten up a girl. And not to mention that he will be fighting in civil courts in which he'll most likely be sued.

His reputation is tarnished & he'll will be infamous forever. He will have a very harsh life ahead of him.

Hopefully he'll be able to sue for millions. The prosecution should have never brought charges.

I didnt see too many black people in the "The Jews will not replace us" hate march, but if you could find them, sure.

And yes, I think someone who shows up to a protest with a weapon with the intent to "defend" Something that isn't theirs should be found guilty.

You should advocate for changing the laws first, I think. If it was illegal for him to be there and openly carry, we would probably be looking at a different outcome.

You want to send someone away for life for doing something they were legally allowed to do?

I will say it was bad judgement on his part. Not something I would personally do. But life in prison for defending yourself? Not gunna fly with me

The right would be screaming that it was those hateful bastard's right to protest against the removal of their heritage, that "thug" should never have been there with a weapon.

I guess the three people who would have hypothetically attacked this person would have been the same color as him, too?

Do you think this hypothetical person should be found guilty?

You made the comment earlier ITT that she said something along the lines of "I guess I was too mean to you".

Maybe she felt bad she vocalized your "issue" to you and was upset thinking that you maybe took what she said as her not enjoying the activity.

I'd probably just take it easy and not mention anything in text and wait until the next time you two hang out. Then I'd maybe bring up that you were curious as to why she abruptly left that night, seeming upset and reiterate your statements to her that night wasn't regarding anything she had said in the past... listen to what she says... and take it from there.
