I'm not an expert, though, so if you have additional information, please share.

I've shared this before, and nobody seems to want to address it.
seems to me he was hunting for leftist pedophile scum bags... and managed to bag 2 and wing another one.
I'm guessing the one he winged will have a hard time choking old lady's and former girl friends without that bicept, probably have a hard time with those felony burglary's too...

I think it will be more surprising if the DOJ doesn't charge Rittenhouse with civil rights violations or federal gun charges.

Yes, Kyle gave him the money, yes Black bought it, but what you and the WaPo failed to mention is:

A) They agreed Kyle could not 'own' the gun until he was 18, which means Black was the owner - it was in his name.

B) The rifle stayed at Black's house, locked in a gun safe, in his step-dad's room, that only his step-father had the key to, or in the safe in the garage which had a code that only his step-father knew. Kyle did not ever take it home, as it was not his.

C) Black never told Kyle that he couldn't take the rifle that night when they were heading down to protect the car businesses they were asked to protect, (they were not "looking for trouble").

D) Antioch is in WI, so no, Kyle did not "transport a rifle over 2-3 state lines". He didn't transport it over a single state line. He didn't "transport" anything because:

1 - the rifle was not legally his, it was legally Black's rifle
2 - he was not the owner nor driver of the car, Black was.

E) Yes, Black is in trouble for buying a rifle for Kyle's eventual ownership.

F) Kyle did not ask for the rifle for attacking rioters. He had asked for it 2 months earlier for hunting and target practice.

And the WaPo lied, Black did NOT say that Kyle would "throw a fit" if Black didn't get it.

Yes, I think his family has a good chance of winning a civil suit against Rittenhouse. Any crimes that person committed are completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters was whether Kyle was justified in killing him. As you may know, civil cases don’t have to meet the same criteria of “beyond a reasonable doubt “ that criminal cases do. See OJ Simpson.

From what I just heard on TV, the only reason the family might not sue is that Rittenhouse doesn’t have much money. They could win a $10 million judgment, but never collect.

Whose civil rights did he violate? And what federal gun laws did he violate? The Feds have no case here.

My head is hurting. As a AA man, I think I need to stay off Social Media. It’s like people ignore all the facts and just insert their own reality. This is my entire FB feed today:

“The system is t broken, it’s working the way they intended for it to work!”

“If he was black then it would have been guilty”

“This just shows how racist Amerikkka is!”

“What did y’all expect? This is Amerikkka!”

Plus about 1000 meme comparing this kid to some random black guy that the cops shot when he was unarmed.

My favorite one is tying this verdict to the Julio guy in Ok. Every black person thinks he’s innocent for some reason.


Anyway, i digress. Every piece of evidence points to self defense. It’s like people on Social Media leave out all the facts and make their deep thought post of the day.

Civil right violation on what ground? Defending himself? Are Grosskreutz, Huber, and Rosenbaum belong to certain protected group?

Federal gun charges? Go ahead and cite the federal gun law that Rittenhouse violated?

Same as it ever was. i.e.,
But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.
