    It seems to me that Rittenhouse got off because a jury factually determined that he acted in self defense. If the jury went the other way, he's guilty. His walking around carrying an assault weapon during a riot or something akin to a riot was perceived to be a threat by others. He killed the others.

    I'm guessing the kids book will get some coverage on Fox. He might even get an interview so he can cash in with the maga crowd.

    He left his house with a gun because he had a hard on to kill someone and saw a situation where he might get away with doing so. Lock him up.

    It's very likely that one or more right-wing organizations will help bail out Rittenhouse by purchasing a large order of his books and then either sell them at a discount or give them away not unlike what happened with Sarah Palin's book around a decade ago when her PAC bought a large number of her book, "Going Rogue".

    I don’t know the kid but I really doubt that he had hopes of shooting, let alone killing, someone. I think he is a nerd that found some sense of import by carrying his gun and wanted the adrenaline rush and BMOC feeling he thought he could get. Unfortunately for those he shot, he put himself in a situation that resulted in what has to be the biggest adrenaline drop he ever experienced in his life.

    He was captured a couple weeks before basically saying “Man, I wish I had my AR so I could shoot some people” - apparently in regards to witnessing some shoplifting activity at a CVS.

    Then he shows up at a riot and shoots some people with his a AR.

    I definitely think he went there with the expectation of shooting some people - whether BLM protesters or criminals. Probably not in that exact scenario where he blasts some junkie dude who was picking on him, then cowardly shooting two other totally random people who tried to stop him. I’m sure he was fancying himself as Charlies Bronson taking on gangs of killers or something.

    Too funny some unnamed person gave prosecutors a video showing a crime in progress and a voice they say sounds like Rittenhouse saying something about wishing he had his AR.

    Even if it was Rittenhouse does that make him guilty?

    Nope, just makes him a punk who has no business owning a firearm looking for trouble in SYG states.

    There was some org here that had booked a small back room at 1 of my fav watering holes & KR was to speak at that event. When the pub found out, they canned the event.

    I stand corrected. He did attend. @BossaGator you can change your like to dislike. They did condemn it after the fact.

    Um, employed, doing better than paycheck to paycheck, “doing what he likes.”

    What is it we are supposed to feel bad about?

    Why on earth would KR appear at a music festival that’s supporting veterans and first responders? He is not a musician, a veteran nor a first responder. First responders help people, they don’t kill them. So bizarre.

    The fact this dude is some kind of quasi celebrity making money off his name is just a sad indictment of where we are as a society.

    So is the fact that Trump is polling above 1% in the presidential race.
