This short documentary breaks down the series of events that led up to Kyle Rittenhouse having to defend himself from a violent mob:

This case is important because it may impact American's rights to self-defense.

From the "About" page of #FightBack:

...The left has spied on, harassed, and smeared President Trump and his officials with illegal actions and fake news. The Trump Russia conspiracy theories were based on lies and hysteria in response we fight back to protect individual rights by supporting lawsuits and other actions that address discrimination against conservatives...

Hard pass on them having any sort of un-biased legal opinion on those shootings.

I like it when people don't even attempt to make a valid argument based on another person's argument, instead opting to go immediately to ad hominem attacks.

It let's you know the character of the people you are dealing with.

Why is it every time a person places themselves in a situation they shouldn't be in and could easily avoid with a weapon they shouldn't have or need they are suddenly claiming self defense?

The about page statement is stating facts.
What about it do you disagree with?

I'm not wasting my time looking for unbiased information from Rittenhouse's defense team. Sorry, not sorry.

If that offends your delicate sensibilities, you'll just have to manage to make it through.

Doesn't matter -- if anybody thinks it is a good, wise thing for a young boy who is untrained to be used as a vigilante to try and keep law and order.....they need their freak'n head examined.

He should never have put himself in that position.
His mother should never have allowed him to put himself in that situation.

It is beyond sad.

You have the right to self defense when someone else attacks you.....even if you "shouldn't have been in that neighborhood" or "shouldn't have been wearing that sexy dress".

That's just how self defense works.

The point is that you are intentionally ignorant as to what was argued and you embarrass yourself by attempting to attack what you admit you are ignorant of.

I'm not offended by it, I just pointed out that ignorant ad hominem attacks are indicative of the character of those making them.

Like I said, you'll have to find the intestinal fortitude to make it through, somehow. I'm sure you can do it.

I have no desire to give their YouTube channel another view hit.

Kyle was trying to avoid the situation but was attacked and chased by a violent leftist mob, and was thus forced to defend himself.

I should also add that no one has the right to trash a neighborhood and riot in the streets.
This is something Biden supporters need to grasp.
