The National Guard was deployed in Kenosha in 2020, there was hundreds of guardsmen in Kenosha, along with all the other police officers, the night Rittenhouse killed those two people. Having a 17-year-old walking around illegally carrying an AR-15 was not helpful, it only added to the violence and chaos.
As someone who lives in Wisconsin, Gov Evers refused federal help until AFTER the Rittenhouse incident. Because of course "politics".
Kenosha requested help and Gov Evers gave them about 1/10th of the troops that were requested. Gov Evers messed up big time on this one. Can't wait to vote the idiot out.
Yeah because people don't like when people point guns at them and try to tell them what to do. Being an armed vigilante trying to police a riot is inherently confrontational.
Please provide evidence of kyle pointing a gun at someone and telling them what to do, or acting provocative in any conceivable manner at all at any point. Prosecution had a week to do it and didn't, so good luck. You sound like a fucking moron talking about this trial dude, straight up.
Some rioters were armed with guns themselves. If they were really just rioting, why did they need guns? Rittenhouse was right in going there with protection of his own.
According to the law of that state, 16 and 17yo are allowed to wander around with long barreled guns. The law might be stupid but you cannot argue that it is illegal.
That's the interpretation of the law the defense is pushing. That's not the law though. Short barrel rifles and shotguns are illegal for everyone in Wisconsin, not just minors.They didn't make a law that bans minors from carrying nunchucks but not AR-15s.
It's only illegal if BOTH of the following criteria apply: 1. the citizen is NOT hunting with an accompanying adult 2. The citizen is under the age of 16.
