How can ANY sane person watch this video and think Rittenhouse did anything wrong?

 

 

 

 

Totally. Shouldn't serve a single day.

If someone is pointing a weapon at me, there is nothing " innocent " about my skateboard, 2x4 or anything else at hand. That is a lethal situation and you are on your own.

Right.  And since the guy was pointing a pistol at Kyle when he got shot... pretty much self defense.  Even Ray Charles can see that.

You have a different understanding of the facts. 

Thank you.  I appreciate you acknowledging my superior intellectual grasp of the situation.

So what are your facts?

And if the liberal idiots that run these cities had done their job, and protected the property and life of it's taxpayers none of this would have happened. The Natl Guard should have been there 1st day

I was accused of making things up, #fakenews, in short, I was called a liar.

I am pointing out that my understanding of the facts varies from others in this forum.

 

Just because I don't consume a steady diet of junk food Breitbart, fox news, rush limbaugh does not make me a fabricator of truth.

 

This is a pattern here, if someone disagrees with the reactionary mindset that dominates this forum, they are labeled "head in the sand", " #fakenews or crazy.

I just went back and reviewed the thread.  Other than being called out for 4/5 of your statements being incorrect, no one called you a liar.  If you say stuff that is wrong, you have to be able to take it when people point out your wrongness.  Would you rather walk around all day being wrong, and no one telling you?  Would you prefer to walk around all day with a booger on your nose, or would you rather someone told you?

 

The only thing I can see that he did wrong is perhaps having the rifle at his age without adult supervision.  (Which I think is stupid, as military members are allowed to have a more dangerous weapon than his at 17, but that's something else entirely.  I owned and used my first rifle at the age of seven.  By eight, I was hunting by myself with it.)

 

I read originally that he transported the weapon across state lines (which is not a crime, BTW), but that was later clarified; he borrowed it from a friend in the state.

so you'd chase someone down and whack them with a skateboard, even if they were holding a rifle?

Here was your "understanding of the facts":

 

He exercised poor judgment in transporting a weapon across state lines

He didn't transport a weapon across state lines. This is wrong.

 

into a city where carrying at his age is against the law

People 16 years and older can open carry in WI. This is also false.

 

He got in over his head very quickly

This can slide because its entirely opinion, even though I agree he was, given being chased by a mob.

 

and did not alert authorities that he passed that he had been involved in a lethal shooting

Already demonstrated wrong by others in the thread. He called police. 

 

which indicates consciousness of guilt. The young man is not someone I want my kids emulating.

And your conclusion of guilt, along with character+moral denigration, was based completely on things that were wrong. Shocked.

 

How is it that the "junk" "consuming" Breitbart, FOX, etc. "people" can actually get their "understanding of facts" mostly right on this and you got it 100% wrong? You didn't get a single thing right there. Then you selectively made character attacks about Rittenhouse, solely, while ignoring the criminals he shot, and their actions leading to them being shot. The very things that would best constitute facts, you either got wrong, or ignored. I certainly am not perplexed as to why you got the reaction you did. This is what people expect from the left.

  For starters, the average sane person would probably reconcile the fact that the video was produced by his defense attorney, and then probably want something that comes from a more neutral source before arriving at any conclusion(s).

so if I agree with the video I am not sane?

The interesting thing is the news sources you cited are just as credible as NYT, WaPo, CNN and the alphabet networks.  All news is politically biased, there are just more Left Wing sources.

 

As to making things up, I guess that is up to you.  There are plenty of sources out there that have a plethora of information.  In the end it is what it is, the Left will have one narrative and the Right will have another.  Critical thinking will help one decide who was being aggressive, and who was defending themselves.  I know with all these BLM/Antifa rioters expecting that everyone should take their antics, well sometimes they cross the line, one of these days a diner these “peaceful” protestors are assaulting is going to respond with force.

Hard to say what someone might do given the fog of war, but given the perception that this kid was a threat, that the area was open with no shelter, that others might be endangered, I might be a sane choice.

 

If he was pointing a rifle at you, and you were unarmed, what would you do?

moving the lily pads around?  the rifle was pointed (and rightfully fired) AFTER the guy hit him with a skateboard.
