He got overwhelmed. He found out that having a gun made no difference and nobody was afraid of him ( the police already know this). I think this shocked him and he ran just like a typical kid would do in a war zone. That picture of him sitting on the ground with his gun is all anyone needs to see. He should not have been there. Not charging him with a crime is all our country needs. It will lead to having chaos in our city streets. Hundreds of people like him and the men in the Aubrey case will roam the streets with long guns keeping order.
He was sitting there because:
1. He was running away from those attacking him but he was caught up with, attacked, and he fell
2. Although he wanted to stand, once on the ground, he was repeatedly attacked
3. The few seconds which would have taken him to stand if he really tried to could have meant death for him given Gaige Grosskreutz had a firearm and wanted to kill him
But you're right on one thing.
Everyone needs to see the picture of him sitting with the rifle. For a minor, Kyle exhibited self-control and marksmanship not often seen even among experienced shooters. And he took down two criminals while maiming a third. This is a message Antifa and BLM rioters (you know, those who caused $2bn in damage last year) need to see - they think no one will ever shoot back.
They're fortunate Kyle's been one of the few if not the only who has done so.
Isn't it ironic that left wings poster boys; Treyvon Martin ,George Floyd , and one of the men killed by Rittenhouse are vilified by the pro-gun right and its always these pudgy, bullied, drop outs, military rejects, and women beaters who become poster boys for the pro- gun rights. It reminds me a bit of the Roman Coliseum games.
You mean TRAYVON.
Not sure about ironic but irrelevant, yes. If you can't or won't add anything of value, why are you posting?
Gaige Grosskreutz just admitted Kyle Rittenhouse shot him AFTER the former had his pistol drawn and pointed at the latter. Does this constitute an instance of self-defense or of attempted homicide?
If the former, then why is he even on trial?
If the latter, then what would have been needed for Kyle to have a legitimate self-defense claim here - with a hostile actor with a pistol pointed at him from 3 feet away?
He'll be just like Zimmerman. He'll spend the rest of his life pimping the killing because no one will hire him. Some freedom.
Well, Kyle will have to be careful because ignorant and unthinking people - leftists - will think he got away with murder and will want revenge.
But you're wrong on one thing. Kyle has MASSIVE support, and he will be welcomed by many. What that will look like post-acquittal remains to be seen, but if his life is hard after an acquittal, it'll be because of leftists who riot when verdicts aren't what they want.
The guy with the pistol, who at first put his hands up, then lunged for Kyle after he saw that he lowered his rifle???
