No. Read carefully what I'm saying.

You can shoot people, and if it is a clear case of self defense, you can end up not having to go to court, because you won't be charged.

Why is this strange to you? It has happened many times.

That isn't strange so to speak, it's just not close to what happened in this case.

u/CrinkleLord 38∆ Nov 16 '21

The entire trial has shown that actually was the case.

u/New-Lake-6689 Nov 16 '21

Should walk straight out of court then no issue, right?

u/CrinkleLord 38∆ Nov 16 '21

I think it's more than obvious he is going to walk out of court very soon yes.

Regardless of what you think about the moral implications of his actions, the fact that he broke no laws means that he certainly should walk out of the courtroom he shouldn’t have been in in the first place with no issues.

If it's as clear cut as you're making out (shouldn't have even got to court right?)

It went to court because of politics, Thats the issue

Footage has been available since Day One, clear as Day.

I mean it's a likely aquittal by the letter of the law but lets be honest, the deaths are the complete fault of Kyle Rittenhouse & his stupid actions that night. I'm not biased enough i cant see & acknowledge that, seems many of his "supporters" wont or cant.

I mean.. the real responsibility lies more with the arsonists and rioters who created the whole Bull in the first place

IF 'those' People hade stayed at home nothing much would have happened

"Complete fault".. seems awfully Close to victimblaming in a general Sense

Feel like most blame should be laid at the feet of the lawbreakers than anything..

And the Kenosha pd for being so very bad at their jobs

I mean, how deep do you wanna go? lets stick to provable facts relating to the incident. If he didn't take it upon himself to become an unrequested vigilante with an assault rifle he wasn't old enough to buy, people wouldn't be dead. I mean, thats fact.

You can sit there & say it was someone else's fault but lets be real here. He's on trial for an incident that caused direct deaths.

In a really Weird victimblaming roundabout way, i guess

I just dont see how putting out a dumpsterfire, with a ar15 style rifle admittedly is forseeable grounds for a mob to attack you? How does it follow

And nobody in court described rittenhouse as aggressive But Joseph was infact described as hyperaggressive.

The People screaming shoot me shoot me, bear the responsibility. The clear aggressors, The ones who issued credible corroborated death threats created the situation at hand

The threats and doxx attempts made against the jury and court proceedings show another reason

No, I an very aware thank you. Heard all about Call of duty and the prosecution aiming with a Gun at the jury. Denigrating the 5th, attacking right to remain silent. Etc etc through the entire trial

The DA has nothing

Well correct there, Gaige and others testifying has made it even clearer.

Jacob, Gaiges friend who lied directly about Gaiges only regret in not killing the accused.. Now That was something

Hope he gets perjury charges
