Kyle Rittenhouse won’t be charged for gun offense in Illinois: prosecutors

Do you believe that makes him criminally guilty? Do you believe the Koreans defending their stores during the L.A. riots were criminally guilty?

 

I’m hoping that he learned a valuable lesson. I don’t think he is a lunatic, but he appears to have a desire to be hero.

 

The Koreans were defending their own property while physically on their own property. That’s a dumb analogy.

I think there is an appropriate criminal charge for his actions. I would need to discuss what that would be with a rational
and informed adult.

 

Thus, leaving you out of the conversation, eh?
Given WI law, how is it you do not see Rittenhouse's actions as self-defense?

 

I'm 100% sure it's relevant to the discussion. The one person in this equation who came there for a positive reason was Kyle. He showed up and cleaned graffiti, volunteered to protect peoples' business from looters and rioters, and was attacked by felons. The other three were two felons and a thief who showed up to burn property and attack people. Which they did, which is illegal, and they have no right to do these activities.

We know exactly who was there for the right reasons.

 

Woooooshhh!

 

I think the knuckle heads that tried to take his rifle away and clock with a skate board are the ones who used poor judgement. Smart people runaway from a guy with a gun.

 

More that one person used poor judgement.

 

If one picks a fight, they can’t then claim self defense when it goes sideways.

 

Admit it, if they hadn't tried to take his gun away the two would still be alive and the other knuckle head wouldn't have been wounded.

 

Rittenhouse and a friend armed themselves on Tuesday and made their way to a mechanic shop whose owner had put out a call for protection, according to a statement from John Pierce, an attorney representing Rittenhouse. In the attorney’s description of events, Rittenhouse had tried to offer medical help to injured people before he was “accosted by multiple rioters,” leading him to open fire.

Obviously it leaves you out of that discussion.

I would need to discuss the appropriate charge with an informed adult who doesn’t rely on emotions.

I’m inclined to think a negligent homicide or other assault related charge would be appropriate. I’d like to see someone with expertise on the law chime in on this. I know that won’t happen here though.

 

He had no business inserting himself into the fiasco. He was an untrained and inexperienced teenager inserting himself into a law enforcement operation.

They went looking for trouble and they found it. Untrained teenagers should be discouraged from doing dumb things like that. That’s usually what parents are for.

 

Considering none of Kyle's attackers have claimed self defense as far as I know, your point is irrelevant.

 

How was my point irrelevant? You’re making no sense. You’re just being contrary for the sake of being contrary.

 

What do you mean? The people who started the fight with Kyle never claimed self defense after attacking him.

 

What does that have to do with my view that he exercised poor judgement by inserting himself into the chaotic and violent situation which was non of his business?

 

Do you think he demonstrated sound judgement by leaving his home in Illinois and engaging the rioters?

 

"If one picks a fight, they can’t then claim self defense when it goes sideways"

Your words. His attackers never claimed self defense.

 

Do you have video of him engaging the rioters before they attacked or are you just assuming he did?

 

I am amused how many people take the side of the criminals who are looting.

 

Do you to believe you have the right to defend anyone’s property but your own? What gave the rioters the right to set things on fire, may I ask?

 

I believe people have the right to make poor decisions. However, those poor decisions often have equally poor consequences. Before one acts, think about what those consequences can be.

 

One of the actions he took was defending property just as the Koreans did. What criminal action do you believe Kyle took?

 

A court needs to determine guilt or innocence Not people on a message board.
