Not exactly a school shooter situation but I can certainly see why the protesters were trying to disarm this man. Some may feel it's appropriate for a 17 year old to bring an AR-15 to a protest to enact vigilante justice. Many of us do not and this is the reason. So go ahead, prop up this killer as a hero.

Personally I think our country is completely F'ed when we allow, even celebrate, a 17 year old with an AR-15 acting as crowd control.
So you are basically taking the side of the rioters, looters and arsonists. According to you, people do not have the right, never mind duty, to defend private property nor protect their and other persons from mobs. Got it. At least we know where you stand...on the wrong side of history.

Please provide proof that the bag had nothing in it.

You're also overlooking that the person who had tossed that "empty" plastic bag had seemed to have physically attacked Kyle and allegedly continued to attack him even after he'd been shot a few times.
Obviously there was something heavy in that bag, because at 3:52 in this video, you can clearly see a rectangular object in the bag, and it falls very quickly to the ground. It looks like either a brick or one of those frozen water bottles. It's definitely NOT an empty bag.

Unlike a school shooter who intends to go kill a bunch of kids, Kyle Rittenhouse's intentions were completely opposite from harming others.
I read he came there to defend a car dealership that was being destroyed. Now there is still no world on the GROUP who heeded this vigilante call. Just might be some good ole boys watching too many movies, in either case people are dead and his life might be ruined for very bad decisions.

Breaking the law goes both ways.

Just like destruction of property is a crime, so is a minor open carrying in WI.

was not his property--- he jumped a state line to join a vigilante group. HE came with a purpose.

Whoever put that child at risk is guilty of gross negligence and is complicit in the deaths of those he killed.

That child was not required to be there.
He should have been sent home by the adults in charge of law and order in that community.

Somehow suggesting it is heroic to put a child in the middle of a violent situation is some sick spin.

We would not ever suit up our 17 year old boys and suggest they go to Afghanistan to defend the soldiers why would we expect that here in the USA.

Where have you been? The destructive mobs have been their first. Honest citizens would not need to be out doing law enforcement’s job if they were doing it themselves.

The reporter was only feet away from Kyle as he was being chased by Joseph Rosenbaum, the angry man who earlier had taunted Kyle to shoot him, and saw him throw something at Kyle and ultimately trap him between some parked cars. And when Rosenbaum attempted to take his rifle - Kyle shot him!

Clearly self-defense (as were the subsequent two shootings).

That kid can shoot. Here is my take on all of this. The kid still needs to go to prison and to be trialed as an adult not for the killings, but for taking weapons across state lines is a no no. Is their any liability for the parents in all of this? However the boy did have rights to self defense. He was chased and assaulted by Rosenbaum which than he shot in the head. Than he was chased and assualted by other BLM/Antifia supporters who cornered him like a cat. Huber hit him with a skateboared, Rittenhouse rolled and shot Huber in the chest in which he was killed instantly, than he shot the other dude in the elbow blowing it off. Their will be prison time for this kid. Will he be charged as a minor, or an adult. He should qualify for self defense. However this case is going to be very messy.

The person is probably a Democrat, from one of those cities like Portland or Seattle, where the people and their elected politicians are happy and content to allow 90+ days of riots, looting, burning and murder.

In the infamous words of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, answering a reporter's question concerning the lawless mobs destroying public and private property, ‘People will do what they do.’


No amount of lawlessness, destruction or death at the hands of the leftist thug Democrat voters, will ever be too much in the eyes of Democrat and the left-wing politicians, and apparently some people on this forum.

I feel bad for the boy- but he made a very bad decision that he must give account for. calling his bud after the first shots whats that about?
