Imagine after he killed dozens of people if he'd lived being introduced in court as a "victim"?

#validationofignorestatus

If a woman is being raped and manages to kick the rapist and he falls backwards and hits his head and dies. Who is the "victim"???

Except for the fact that he was carrying a med kit and treating wounded people. All part of his nefarious plan, eh?

Except he doesn't need a pretense to be there.

Well, that would be too evil. And take too much thought.

Rittenhouse wasn't a licensed medic, but he did have training. He did all the Junior medic and fireman stuff kids his age do there. One o those boyscouts, I guess.

If he wanted a pretense to be there he should have just lit garbage bins on fire.

.... and he gave his bullet proof vest to someone else. He did so because he was going there to treat people.

litterally Annandale_Man, the EVIDENCE doesnt care about your theories. The FACTS IN EVIDENCE clearly demonstrate that Kyle INTENDED to treat people who were hurt. He didnt care if they were protesters, rioters, or people there to protect private property.

Perhaps it's too difficult to see from where you are, but those rioting, destroying property, looting are not good citizens pushed to their limit by a tyrannical govt or social oppression....They are THIEVES capitalizing on the weakness of Woke authorities and their own strength in numbers.

My comment earlier was a use of humor to expresss a serious point, but that can be lost on those who splash about in the shallow end of the pool of intellectual analysis.

This could be a classic overreach by the prosecution trying to make a name for themselves from a high profile case. Still, its early and you just never know until the jury reads the verdict.

Regardless of the result, i don't expect any riots outside of the rioting complaints from main stream media. Don Lemon will loose his **** but who really cares..
Wait... what?

As to Don Lemon... I could't agree more.

Why was Kyle Rittenhouse alone? Wouldn't it have been reasonable for him to stay with a group of his peers? This is one of the reasons I think he's a child & should've stayed home.

Didn't this guy Kyle take a black rifle to a riot? What did he expect to happen?

I agree though, I wouldn't have been there.
He has the poor judgement of a child.

Deciding to protect property by shooting a person is reckless endangerment.
