Right, literally all the sources, including the New York Times, has said shots were fired by someone else first. And the bald dude was trying to attack the kid. It's on video.

What? LOL


If it was clearly self defense shooting, they would NOT have indicted him on felony charges!


There are numerous examples of this in the past, just look at any of them, in cases where its self defense, NO CHARGES ARE EVER FILED against the person.


The fact that he was charged with felonies, means a grand jury has looked at the incident and determined Rittenhouse committed crimes.

All Kyle has to do is gather up his private donations, hire a really expensive lawyer, and point holes in the prosecution.

I'd love to, as long as you have a link to this, or are you repeating another rumor?

He has one of the best defense lawyers already. He is almost assured of an innocent verdict if it ever even gets that far. The DAs case is non existent.

They have to sort out all the evidence first, this should be obvious. You already have him convicted by a grand jury in only a few days time, for Christ's sake. Wow.

Or me, I am not a democrat ........ but I also take a dim view of actions without discipline.

OF COURSE, fortunately for anyone, I'm not jury material; I know too much.
