Cool, now that that's out of the way, we can avoid the moral arguments and instead use legally relevant arguments going forward. Right? Riiiiggghhhttt?

The thing is for torgo they are one and the same.

Do we have to break out the photos of him hanging out with Proud Boys? Or the recording he made of himself stating he wanted to kill protesters?

"But those facts don't align with the narrative I want to push, even though those facts are the reasons I admire and defend Rittenhouse to begin with... so I'll regurgitate back the term 'misinformation' improperly, as is my duty to always incorrectly project such terms as a right winger."

Sure, I'll explain for those that actually care about what the trial established. Not a single witness came forward to state he was threatening anybody nor did anybody claim that they felt threatened since tons of people had guns there and it's an open carry state. Most of the witnesses that were called, by the prosecution no less, testified that he was either walking around or providing aid to protestors.

Rittenhouse was attacked while off on his own bothering no one after hours of being there. His crime was putting out a trash can fire that Rosenblum had started near a gas station. Pretty normal thing to put out. Rosenbaum was a white guy just like him, who lived even further than Rittenhouse, had no connections to the area and was instructed by the doctor to go home immediately. Instead he decided to go downtown and start fires, trash things and threaten to kill people, all after a suicide attempt. It's clear he came looking to start shit and successfully did.

Even when Rosenbaum started chasing Rittenhouse, all Rittenhouse kept screaming was "friendly". He ran every time, when he could have shot Rosenbaum immediately instead of risking it by running and getting cornered. Even after, he only shot people attacking or trying to attack him. He could have just started shooting everybody coming at him if his intent was to just kill people.

It was pretty clear from the trial that this was an idiot trying to play first responder and not some fucking 17 year old master manipulator that was going around trying to help protestors, hoping someone would eventually chase and corner him, so he could play out some "murder fantasy". He could have easily played out his fantasy in much easier and way less riskier ways.

Linking a high school fight where he jumped in for his sister and him seeing shoplifters with guns and going "I'd shoot them" to his friend are way too long of reaches that would open up so much abuse and is the exact type of shit historically used to lock up minorities. Propensity evidence like that is always inadmissable in court, so it's not some conspiracy theory that it was inadmissable here too.

If he just showed up, immediately started shit and shot someone, it would be a different story. But he spent all day in Kenosha and hours in that protest area helping the protestors everybody claims he wanted to kill. The whole thing started because some crazy guy who wasn't even a protestor literally got mad his fire was put out.

Is Rittenhouse a piece of shit now, especially because of his social media presence and his affiliations to the right? Sure. One can see that and also look at the events of that night objectively.

Nobody in this topic is arguing that Rittenhouse isn't a shitty person, guy. You have demonstrated through this topic a juvenile inability to separate moral assessments from criminality, and seem to be ignorant of many fundamental and critical aspects to a functioning legal system.

Kyle Rittenhouse could be the reincarnation of Hitler and he would still be afforded the same rights and legal protections as anyone else. Those protections are codified in law, meaning we have statutes that specifically outline, in few uncertain terms, what those protections are, what their limits are, and the scenarios by which you lose those protections. If you are going to make a legalistic argument then your argument must pertain to those specific statutes and the superstructure that is common law. If you are going to make a moral argument then you can use whatever evidence you believe is convincing enough. What you cannot do is use a moral argument to reach a legalistic conclusion. That is just pure ignorance and utterly dangerous behavior--You would surely agree if your perceived moral opposition, let's say the GOP, tried to do the same. Let's say they tried to argue that it's immoral to get an abortion, and thus abortion access should be denied to everybody despite decades of legal precedence and obviously beneficial social policy. That would be a dumb way to approach the world, yes?

If you want to argue that Rittenhouse is a shitty person then go ahead. I legitimately don't think anyone in this topic would disagree. Actually, let's test that:

Does any participant in this topic think Rittenhouse is of even vaguely moral character? If yes, please respond!

Cool, now that that's out of the way, we can avoid the moral arguments and instead use legally relevant arguments going forward. Right? Riiiiggghhhttt?

you do know that legally, or, to make it clear, legalistically self defense doesnt apply if the person put him/herself at the risk, and/or provoked it, right?

Helping the protesters? You mean lying about being an EMT and trying to get in good with the cops before he went off with his rifle at the ready in order to harass and threaten the protesters he openly said he wanted to kill?

Yes, multiple witnesses testified he was helping protestors and is even on video doing it and giving an interview.

The trial established that he never harassed anybody or threatened any of them. It's like you didn't read any of my post and just repeating yourself.

Too easy... more ad hominem attacks.

Lol - of course I don't like Kyle Rittenhouse! - Am I supposed to like a white nationalist that ended up killing two people, and then went on to use his fame from the trial to do a "cancel culture" grift where he took money and threatened to sue people that criticized him?

The problem seems to be that you love this shitty rat that got away with murder because of a poor prosecution and a nakedly biased judge.

There is no evidence he antagonized any of the 3 people in question, in fact, we know that Rosenbaum had been antagonizing him for hours.

But if you have a good source to back up this claim such as AP or Reuters, feel free to post it, or if you already did so, direct me to the post.

Also: where are the precious Kyle defenders from earlier in the topic saying the people who got shot or confronted should have run away and told the cops?

If Rosenbaum were harassing Kyle for hours, and he is such a precious saintly lad, why didn't he go tell his police buddies?

Did Rittenhouse confront and antagonize Rosenbaum specifically and with immediacy to the point where Rosenbaum had a reasonable fear for his life?

If so, then that evidence should be available from the trial. Then, prior to the fatal shooting, did Rittenhouse not in good faith withdraw from the fight and give adequate notice thereof to his or her assailant? If not, then the evidence should be available from the trial.

(2) Provocation affects the privilege of self-defense as follows:
(a) A person who engages in unlawful conduct of a type likely to provoke others to attack him or her and thereby does provoke an attack is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense against such attack, except when the attack which ensues is of a type causing the person engaging in the unlawful conduct to reasonably believe that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. In such a case, the person engaging in the unlawful conduct is privileged to act in self-defense, but the person is not privileged to resort to the use of force intended or likely to cause death to the person's assailant unless the person reasonably believes he or she has exhausted every other reasonable means to escape from or otherwise avoid death or great bodily harm at the hands of his or her assailant.
(b) The privilege lost by provocation may be regained if the actor in good faith withdraws from the fight and gives adequate notice thereof to his or her assailant.

If you've met these two requirements as I described then you have a sound legal argument. Post the evidence from the trial and we can talk about it. Otherwise all you're doing is grandstanding and wanking about. Does that sound like hard work, and you won't do it because it takes a lot of effort? Yes, fucking obviously, law is difficult and complex. People who have engaged with this case on a level greater than "I'm looking for reasons why Rittenhouse should be in jail" are already abundantly aware of that. If you're not willing to put in this comparatively trivial amount of effort to prove your argument then you have only proven yourself to be a bad faith actor.

The court has set a legal precedent regarding the ruling. You can certainly make a counter-argument to the courts ruling, but you haven't. You just said "nuh uh! Look it up!" as if I haven't already looked it up and watched the arguments made (and ruled on) in court. Make an actual argument if you disagree. Don't spit out some condescending argument simplifying what is a complex set of guidelines and pretend like you've rebutted me. I've read the statutes. I was the person on this board explaining in painful details what the statutes meant to a board that wasn't willing to understand what I explained. Then the court verified my interpretation of the statutes through the trial. This wasn't some feat of genius on my part. The statutes are pretty clear and obvious for anyone with an understanding of the law. The prosecution had things they had to prove in order for the self-defense statute not to apply. They failed to do that, and the evidence introduced during the trial made it abundantly clear why. That is to say, the ground footage of the foot chase, drone footage of the foot chase, audio recordings of Kyle trying to deescalate the situation, and witness testimony of the situation.

This, "I'm a centrist liberal, but here is some right wing shit I'm going to constantly pump out" is the most boring kind of trolling that goes on these boards.

If you truly didn't want people to think you weren't some MAGA type pretending to be a liberal, you'd show, rather than constantly tell, your liberal-ness.
Im not even remotely a centrist liberal, I am drastically farther left in my beliefs than Democrats. But please, tell me what right wing beliefs you are under the impression I hold so that I can correct you and you wont have to do this bullshit any more.

This is an informed attribute. You can say you are to the left of Lenin. Who the fuck cares what you say, when demonstrably, what you choose to do on this board (And on 261) has been to stan for fascists, excuse their behavior, attack the left, ect. Who the fuck cares what you say about supporting Bernie when you were completely absent in any discussions on that on 261. The Bernie supporters know who was actually on their side, the posters there were pretty recognizable you aren't fooling anyone dude, and you aren't going to be able to rehabilitate your image, which was universally bad, on this board by just making up shit.

Lulzbro has a better record of "Being a leftist" than you, because at least he pretended to be one for a month or so before swerving to the hard right. You don't get to skip the part of even pretending by making claims that aren't backed up by any post you've actually made historically. .

Why do you guys constantly give off the impression that you're more interested in "sticking it" to MAGAts than the actual law?

The Rittenhouse trial isn't about Left Vs. Right. This upcoming civil trial isn't about Left vs. Right. Neither of these cases in any way, shape, or form prove your ideological belief correct.

The upcoming Trump cases will be a far more prominent indictment of the GOP specifically if he is convicted, assuming the evidence is as rock solid as we all assume. Even still, that is not going to be a "blow" to fundamental conservative ideals, just a set-back in their political momentum. We don't "win" by convicting Trump, or Kyle Rittenhouse for that matter.

Why do you guys constantly give off the impression that you're more interested in "sticking it" to MAGAts than the actual law?

The Rittenhouse trial isn't about Left Vs. Right. This upcoming civil trial isn't about Left vs. Right. Neither of these cases in any way, shape, or form prove your ideological belief correct.

The upcoming Trump cases will be a far more prominent indictment of the GOP specifically if he is convicted, assuming the evidence is as rock solid as we all assume. Even still, that is not going to be a "blow" to fundamental conservative ideals, just a set-back in their political momentum. We don't "win" by convicting Trump, or Kyle Rittenhouse for that matter.

because legally speaking, if you went around a feminist protest wearing a shirt saying make me a sandwich and brandishing a weapon at the feminists, and you had said I want to shoot some feminists and actually shot one youd be found guilty, as you should.

How did this spawn a second topic? He's not that noteworthy, people.
Though for some strange reason he gets interviews with Fox News and Tucker Carlson, he hangs out with Proud Boys, and totally not right wingers on message boards will spend days defending him where they suddenly care about the word of the law, despite him being some nobody

You can't just simplify a court case to reductionist analogy and claim that's a valid argument. You are removing crucial context for the court case. That's willful ignorance and if you cared at all about intellectual vigor you would be ashamed.

ya even as a lefty it's an open/shut case. you're allowed to open carry long guns there. you're allowed to use deadly force to defend yourself if being attacked after making an attempt to retreat. you're not allowed to attack people for no reason who are open carrying.

It's not about protecting Rittenhouse, it's about protecting the Law itself from people who would gladly use it to punish people they don't like. If you could cast aside the law because the accused is a white supremacist, then you don't care about the law. You care about punishing people. That is nearly as dangerous a mindset as any bigotry.

If you cannot grasp why someone would not want Rittenhouse to be punished because he meets the requirements specifically codified to recieve special legal protection, then I don't know what to tell you. Your reality is a fucking scary one.

One thing I've learned from all this is that people do not know what "brandishing" means and thinks it just means open carry.
