Kyle walks free
Thoughts? I thought he would have at least gotten gun charges or disorderly conduct. Murder is a stretch for sure.

The gun charge was tossed by the judge because the statute was poorly written and basically didn’t apply unless it was an SBR (short barreled rifle, an atf classification). The prosecution didn’t dispute it because that is the way it’s written, even if weird.
On reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct I don’t really see how you could pop him for anything. He was there putting out fires and rendering medical aid during a riot, he was attacked by a psycho and a mob, and defended himself. There are way more people who should have been hit with disorderly conduct that night who weren’t. His restraint and shot placement with the weapon was legitimately incredible. Better than most cops. If you can behave nearly perfectly under an extremely tense set of circumstances and still be charged, you basically don’t have a right to defend yourself.
Huge victory for America IMO, anything else would have been blatantly unconstitutional. He was organized, controlled, and doing nothing but exercising his rights as an American when he was attacked. Hopefully this will influence more people to step up and suppress the rioting that police are failing to put down.
Your last point is the most significant part of this trial in my opinion. We won't see riots like we did last year again (except in places like Chicago, NYC, CA, etc.) because now people know the law will be on their side when these rioters turn violent. This trial was way bigger than Kyle. The right to self defense is what won today. America won today.
We have to trust that the jury came back with the correct verdict, but because of Kyle’s actions two people are dead that shouldn’t be.
It could be that the prosecutor screwed up by charging him with homicide rather than a lesser charge like manslaughter.
I have no opinion on whether the verdict is correct or not because I didn’t watch the trial. All I know is that the kid screwed up (at the very least) and two people died because of him.
No people died. Kyle only shot communists. Sorry your beloved pedophile arsonist and domestic abuser were sent to hell.
The world is a better place because of Kyle. He’s an absolute hero.
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
If you're a Christian, and most likely if you follow any other major religion, you believe in forgiveness and you believe in God's grace.
Honestly he killed a pedophile and a wife beater and disarmed (lol) a career criminal so thanks to Kyle's actions two people are dead and that should be.
Nobody should be dead. Those are the words of an immature, shelterecd child who's greatest loss in life has been of his pet dog of 13 years, Rover. Especially if you're a Christian (like most people on this forum) and you're saying this, you're really just a clown. Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, but that doesn't lessen the tragedy.
It was absolutely 100% the correct verdict, agree the whole thing is a tragedy though.
However, I'm certainly not shedding any tears over the deaths of Rosenbaum and Huber. Frankly they were both huge pieces of shit.
Dead that shouldnt be? They shouldnt be dead because they shouldnt have been out committing crimes and trying to assault a minor. That is why they shouldnt be dead.
But instead they chose to riot, burn, loot, destroy a city and then harm a kid. Fortunately he was armed. Out of all the scenarios that could have unfolded here - them dying was among the better outcomes
Well, Rosenbaum died doing what he loved...trying to touch a minor against his will
All you guys sound the same…angry and insulting. OP asked for an opinion and I gave it. I get it that you can’t get laid, but you need a release, maybe a hooker or something.
seethe harder
He killed a pedophile who raped multiple young boys and a felonious wife beater. Society will manage I'm sure.
Good chance Kyle becomes a billionaire after all of this. If you remember the MAGA hat kid from a few years ago he was awarded $250M just from the Washington Post. If he got that much from one publication for that I can only imagine how much Kyle will make.

What exactly would Kyle be able to sue on?
There were a TON of lies and he was fully acquitted of everything. I'd have to imagine that his case is much greater than the Covington kids case. The lies were more extreme, the evidence is much more clear, the consequences for Rittenhouse were greater, and we have a jury of his peers saying that he's innocent.
Multiple news organizations alleged that he openly fired into a crowd. They lied that he took the gun across state lines. They lied that he was illegally carrying.
If you actually read up on the KY kid, he got almost nothing. He sued for $250 million and they settled out of court, most likely for a “nuisance fee” of $50k. Fox News loves to say “he settled for $250 mil” in order to own the liberal media but he absolutely did not.

Justice has been served
Trayvon Floyd, you've been avenged.
Wow Drumpfy, your thread revealed that there are a bunch of angry sickos on this forum. I’m definitely getting my open carry license now and packing all the time…the US is nuts.
You came in with stupid, uninformed takes and you got shit on for it. If you can't back up your shit opinions with evidence, get the fuck out of here
we work in finance and people here have finance personalities.
MAGA why you mad bro?
Be gentle with him, he’s in real estate
What is this magical "open carry" license you speak of?
Don’t know what you mean. Open carry permit….maybe they don’t have those in your state.
An abomination of our country in the sleepy flyover state of Wisconsin.
Let's hope Floyd's nephew, Cortez Rice, makes good on his promise.
Trolling, uninformed, evil, or stupid? Which are you?
What I found truly astonishing was the complete lack of firearms knowledge exhibited by the prosecutors . . . I mean they must handle plenty of cases involving guns, how the fuck are you this ignorant lol.
“Hollow point bullets are designed to hit the animal they’re being shot at, let’s say a deer for example, and explode inside that body”
“All he had was a handgun, why would you think he is a threat? You have an AR-15. Can you help me understand that?”
“Guns are not handed, there's not a right or left handed gun.”
“He brought a gun to a fistfight, and too cowardly to use his own fists. He has to start shooting you.”
“You had a big scary black gun with super ultra powerful FULL METAL JACKET BULLETS blah blah blah blah blah”
And to cap it all of the prosecutor proceeds to violate every gun safety rule known to man lol WTF . . . guy gets handed the rifle, doesn’t check it, then proceeds to point it at the jury with his finger on the trigger! Un-fucking-real.
Justice was served, hope Antifa thinks twice before thinking that rioting & assaulting others is a viable strategy
dude this was such an obvious case of self-defense, you really have to either be a
a) commercial real estate employee
b) liberal white woman
or
c) pedophile
to disagree with the "fAcTs" as they say. Life in America is so easy and such a fucking joke at this point that all of its enemies are their own people. Baffling fucking ignorance, you people don't even understand your own Constitution.
Damn why you coming at me with #1.. All CRE guys i know are conservative and im in a super lib city
I think it's because of the VP in RE above who's taking the side of the prosecution and calling anyone who disagrees a MAGA person
Liberal white women...ain’t that the fucking truth. The most loathsome group in America, having it easier than just about any demo in the history of mankind, and they’ll still find a reason to bitch and abort their babies.
don't fall for the psy-op bro, pls fix your women though
Lol. Sb’d
Legal and "right" are not the same thing.
That he is innocent under the law doesn't make his actions morally valid. He had no business being in Kenosha and I feel that his actions are those of someone deliberately courting trouble.
Your correct that not guilty isn't the same as innocent, however his intent on being there was called into question in the trial. If he was specifically looking to gun down protestors then things would have panned out differently.
You understand that this was tried in court correct? The prosecution was unable to show that Rittenhouse came with the intent of gunning down protestors. He worked in Kenosha. His Dad lived in Kenosha. He was given the keys to protect a family friend's business, and was putting out fires. He even gave away the bullet proof jacket that he brought to another friend, assuming he wouldn't need it. The gun he was carrying was within his legal limits to carry.
I think the right needs to be careful not to promote this to a point where every other kid thinks they are going to take out the criminal down the street. Rittenhouse had a very specific set of circumstances that led to him being acquitted which may not occur for the next person fantasizing to be Rittenhouse 2.0. At the same time it's disappointing that your partisan bias is so strong that you are trying to sow doubt into a verdict using points that were addressed in the trial, and acting like those were not addressed.
I agree. Kyle Rittenhouse obviously has some issues and this will probably not be his only run in with the law. What sane human would travel to another state with an an AR 15 strapped to his body? The US's infatuation with guns is very disturbing.
This is a misleading comment. Rittenhouse's home in Antioch is less than 20 miles from Kenosha, where he worked and his dad lived. Rittenhouse crossing state lines in this case is about as significant as a VP taking the PATH from JC to Manhattan.
US turning into a 3rd world country
How excited everyone is to draw a line in the sand and take such a strong, opinionated stance on this case is the saddest part about the state of country. Common sense tells you that a bitch-ass, white 17-year kid touting an AR-15 in peak BLM riots is asking for trouble. The fact that two people died in the situation is sad and my heart goes out to their families. The media played the dichotomy of left vs right and pressurized this case over months and when the verdict dropped, there was a "winner" and a "loser". But in all reality, as a whole, this whole event is just another shitty look for the USA as a nation.
"My heart goes out to the psychotic child molestor and the domestic abuser". lol
You're a moron. Kyle sent evil people to hell while trying to protect his community. He's a hero. The embodiment of what it means to be a good American.
It wasn't his community.
And the same exact logic applies to the people he gunned down. They also were trying to protect their community from a police force which views black people as enemies and not people to be protected. They saw a person they didn't know, armed with a gun, and tried to protect their own from this armed invader (whch is literally what he was).
See how that works?
David French, one of the few remaining thoughtful and empathetic conservative commentators, put it best: The verdict is not a miscarriage of justice—but an acquittal does not make a foolish man a hero. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/11/kyle-rittenhouse-righ…
Truly bizarre and frightening how the conservative world has glorified this guy - you currently have the bottom feeders of the MAGA movement in Congress tripping over themselves about who can offer Kyle an internship first. Not because of his legal acumen, or his passion for conservative form of governing, but of course - because he killed a few libs.
Considering Gaetz past sexual allegations I have a feeling he's low on applicants as it is...
What's insane and disgusting is the fact that shitlibs lied for a year about this case. What's insane is that shitlibs lionized a group of thugs and criminals rioting, looting and burning while calling a kid defending himself an evil white supremacist (with zero evidence). Kyle is a hero. Others went there to destroy, he went there to protect his community. Violent shitlibs attacked him, and he put them in the grave for it.
Sorry your beloved pedophile got domed. Sorry your domestic abuser got blasted after hitting a fleeing child with a skateboard. And i'm sorry that your communist burglar got disarmed while trying to murder a kid with a handgun. You and the rest of your vile ilk hate him because he was a white kid. You didn't say shit about the rioters and looters, but the people defending their community were evil.
Shitlib reaction to this case should drive home the reality to conservatives and moderates of what they're dealing with. The left is unglued from reality. We aren't dealing with a polite disagreement on policy or moral foundations - the opposition is simply insane or evil.
Hopefully this strikes some fear into liberal rioters and criminals. There are people who WILL stand up against evil when called.
When law enforcement fails to protect private property, it’s reasonable to expect private citizens to step up.
What about when law enforcement fails to protect citizens? This is one of the most unbelievable ridiculous things I've ever heard. Law enforcement treats black people like second class citizens at best, and like ducks in a shooting gallery at worst, and offering violence to defend your rights is being a "thug" or a "looter". But driving across state lines with a gun to protect someone else's property from those people standing up for themselves is reasonable?
You cannot have this both ways. Especially when you consider that the actual law enforcement was telling people like Kyle Rittenhouse that the very reason they couldn't protect private property was because armed right wing militias were flooding into town, confusing the situation by looking for a chance to play Action Hero.
So was Grosskreutz a "good guy with a gun" too? Is that what he's trying to say?
Thoughts on this... Can't even believe what I'm reading...
A couple things that were not mentioned in media all year that came out in the trial:
Kyle's dad lives in Kenosha and he has other family there. Should he have been there? No he made a stupid choice, but it does change optics of why he went. Antioch where he is from is not far from Kenosha, less than 20 miles.
The mental health issues of Rosenbaum and the fact he was agitating others in the crowd earlier.
The third guy literally said on the stand that he was pointing his gun at Rittenhouse. Burden of proof was over at that point.
Glad the justice system ruled correctly despite the media/political pressure.
To all the people who say "he shouldn't have been there"...are we all supposed to stand down while rioters destroy our towns? He had family in Kenosha and lived a short drive away. Considering the police / national guard were too afraid of optics to reign the "protesters" in, its perfectly reasonable to expect private citizens to act to defend their homes.
That's exactly what the liberal position is. Criminals and thugs get to riot, loot and burn. Good people? You get to die, get beaten, have your stuff stolen.
Evil lost today. Shitlilbs - go fuck yourselves.
You can believe all three things
1. Kyle was an idiot for going there
2. Kyle shouldn’t have brought a gun
3. Kyle practiced self defense and innocent.
Libs still have to explain how exactly it is possible that if you open fire on a blm/antifa crowd (which they insist does not exist), you have a 100% chance to shoot a women beater, or a convinced pedophile, or another violent criminal.
How exactly is it possible that the people behind the ''racial reckoning'' tend to be the shittiest people on the planet?
Rosenbaum:
11 counts of child molestation, on 5 boys, including anal rape. How was this person free at all?
This thread is a huge reminder as to why I don’t discuss politics with my coworkers…It's extremely disheartening how much of an echo chamber this thread is.
It’s an echo chamber because there’s a clear answer lol
You either understand the facts of the case and think he was clearly not guilty or you don’t and should probably not mouth off about shit you don’t understand.
But please, give us your best shot at a well reasoned liberal take on this issue.
FUCK YEAH
Loud, obnoxious, trash-talking, arrogant American stereotype >>>>>> smug, lying, dishonest, delusional, entitled woke bugmen
This isn’t about Dems vs Republicans. If you physically attack a guy with AR then you should expect to possibly be taken out. A cop would take you out for a lot less and a lot sooner.
I saw a post circulating that said victim blaming here (the pedo and whatever the other guy was) is the same as finding a criminal record on people who died in 911 and saying it’s justified. To that I say, if you are a pedo then whether it’s 911 or not , you deserve to die and this was actually too nice of way for him to go.
edit: 911 example is not comparable as this was not a mass casualty event then searching for victims to blame, it was actually a takeout of very specific actors.
he went thru trial and was exonerated, case closed.
