    The law said that Kyle was within the law in WI. The jury delivered their verdict based on that law. He was acquitted. I also mentioned that he's likely the now beneficiary of several pointed legal cases for defamation from those who prejudge his guilt, and attacked him in the live media. Presidential candidates as well. Cant wait to see those who publicly defamed Kyle get held accountable for their crimes.

    He's been charged with murder for more than a year.

    He's just lucky he came off as a choirboy who lived with his mama and sister.

    I'd like to know why he was charged.

    Don't know that he came across as a "choirboy" he seems like a very intelligent nice young person. And yes he was 17 when it occurred so he was living with his family. Don't know if an ethics complaint can be filed because of the original charging. I can imagine his attorney's will pursue all angles.

    The kid had a rough time. Standing accused of murder for more than a year has to be a terrible experience.
    Some people would rather do without the drama.

    Anyone who doesn't have a really good lawyer, or has a few in their past, could end up convicted of murder for defending themselves. What good is this...

    ... if you can't defend yourself with running a serious risk of going to jail?
    You don't see something wrong?

    Yes but that is not the question, the question is there anything legally that can be done about it.

    In this piece the 'correct' outcome seems to have an ideological component:

    Media dishonesty is at the heart of this question.
    The Cynical Weaponization of 'White Supremacist' Label

    Glenn Greenwald, Substack

    "Within hours of the August 25, 2020, shootings in Kenosha, Wisconsin — not days, but hours — it was decreed as unquestioned fact in mainstream political and media circles that the shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, was a "white supremacist.” Over the next fifteen months, up to and including his acquittal by a jury of his peers on all charges, this label was applied to him more times than one can count by corporate media outlets as though it were proven fact. Indeed, that Rittenhouse was a "white supremacist” was deemed so unquestionably true that questioning it was cast as evidence of one's own racist inclinations (defending a white supremacist).

    Yet all along, there was never any substantial evidence, let alone convincing proof, that it was true. This fact is, or at least should be, an extraordinary, even scandalous, event: a 17-year-old was widely vilified as being a white supremacist by a union of national media and major politicians despite there being no evidence to support the accusation. Yet it took his acquittal by a jury who heard all the evidence and testimony for parts of the corporate press to finally summon the courage to point out that what had been Gospel about Rittenhouse for the last fifteen months was, in fact, utterly baseless. . . . "

    Not long after killing two people (whether the law allowed it or not) at a protest of a black man being shot, there's a smiling Kyle posing with members of the Proud Boys......while using white nationalist symbols. Then, clean-up in aisle 5, he plays the gullible rube card. Sophisticated enough for crocodile tears on the witness stand but absent remorse in the bar. Hmmmmmmmm.
    To claim there was no evidence of white nationalist sympathies, at the least, is classic Greenwald in full self-righteous form. It's as much of a distortion of truth as he says Kyle was a victim of.

    Greenwald is way ahead of you.
    ". . . Those who continue to condemn Rittenhouse as a white supremacist — including the author of The Post op-ed published four days after the paper concluded the accusation was baseless — typically point to his appearance at a bar in January, 2021, for a photo alongside members of the Proud Boys in which he was photographed making the “okay” sign. That once-common gesture, according to USA Today, “has become a symbol used by white supremacists.” Rittenhouse insists that the appearance was arranged by his right-wing attorneys Lin Wood and John Pierce — whom he quickly fired and accused of exploiting him for fund-raising purposes — and that he had no idea that the people with whom he was posing for a photo were Proud Boys members ("I thought they were just a bunch of, like, construction dudes based on how they looked”), nor had he ever heard that the “OK” sign was a symbol of "white power.”

    Rittenhouse's denial about this once-benign gesture seems shocking to people who spend all their days drowning in highly politicized Twitter discourse — where such a claim is treated as common knowledge — but is completely believable for the vast majority of Americans who do not. In fact, the whole point of the adolescent 4chan hoax was to convert one of the most common and benign gestures into a symbol of white power so that anyone making it would be suspect. As The New York Times recounted, the gesture has long been “used for several purposes in sign languages, and in yoga as a symbol to demonstrate inner perfection. It figures in an innocuous made-you-look game. Most of all, it has been commonly used for generations to signal 'O.K.,’ or all is well.”. . . ."

    Face it--you have to get the right people in power. You should learn from the Trump debacle that who you put forward for your guy makes a difference.

    Politically speaking that applies to any office and everyone who has ever served, look at the guy we got now and his VP.

    Legally speaking the prosecutor in the Arbrey case is facing legal sanctions for NOT prosecuting. I have not heard that Rittenhouse's attorney's have file a complaint with the Superior Court, which is where I believe they would have to go, concerning the prosecutor here.

    You've been had. The "OK" hand sign is not, was not, and almost certainly never will be a "white nationalist symbol", rather it seems it was a completely made-up hoax to get suckers like you (and whoever else out there who might believe such an absurd idea in the first place) to make claims that are patently untrue. And it worked, as here we are in 2021 and you and other hardcore leftists, the kind of which would accuse people like Rittenhouse of being a "white supremacist" with no evidence whatsoever, are still being suckered it.

    Congrats!! Now, other than this hoax, do you have even a single reason to continue with your unproven accusation?

    If you never hold the mean political folks to task and sue them for the damages they cause, politicians never learn the lesson that sometimes, its just better to not say something. Same for media. The defamation suits are going to be epic.

    With the "not guilty" verdicts in hand he will be a daunting legal opponent.
