    This trial is crazy. That fucking judge seems to be a Rittenhouse cheerleader.

    Hopefully, at least, this will convince police departments that he's not "alpha" enough to be a cop.

    Of course he's full of shit: 

    "Outside school, Rittenhouse participated in cadet programs with both the Antioch Fire Department and the Grayslake Police Department, according to department newsletters. The police initiative offers participants from ages 14 to 21 “the opportunity to explore a career in law enforcement” through ride-alongs with officers on patrol and firearms training, according to since-deleted pages on its website."

    There seems to be a pretty direct line from 'police training' to 'oops I murdered someone'

    It's like nobody here has ever taken a gun out into the streets of a town... out of their own state... during a contentious social uprising/protest... just minding their own business... not looking for trouble and had to kill someone before...damn elites.

    Yes.  I think he wanted to shoot people.

    I know this.  Because he shot people.

    If he didn't want to shoot people.  Then he wouldn't have.

    It's that simple.

    When I carried concealed it was never so I can shoot people...

    I would venture to guess that he brought it for protection yes, and to hopefully scare people.

    Why people think that guns are bought with the intentions of killing people is like saying all liberals hate guns... Oh wait...
  • I'm giving the kid the benefit of the doubt.  he should get nailed for transferring a firearm though.

    The bottom line is that if he doesn't transport a firearm into another State to provide "assistance" to law enforcement during a protest, none of this happens. He behaved recklessly and dangerously and deserves the punishment that will hopefully come from it.

    Because that’s what “responsible” gun owners do with their guns, scare and intimidate people. Seems reasonable. And why not?

    If you really believe that people don’t buy guns for the intention of killing people then I don’t know what planet you’re living on.

    Is this where I'm supposed to show the people that bought them that didn't want to shoot people?

    Painting everyone with one brush.  I expected more from you.
  • The bottom line is that if he doesn't transport a firearm into another State to provide "assistance" to law enforcement during a protest, none of this happens. He behaved recklessly and dangerously and deserves the punishment that will hopefully come from it.
    Go one step further to the bottom line and if the police would have shut down the protestors then none of this would have happened in the first place...

    It was the police's responsibility to handle. Even if they were not effective, he and others like him didn't have that responsibility and shouldn't have been there.

    Did you purposefully enter into confrontational situations just to test that your intentions were pure?  As a former gun owner and hunter, I would never take a gun into hostile territory looking to provoke others and expect that I should be free from harm in such a situation.

    Scare people in what way, that he might use deadly force against them.  Seems reasonable, go to a town that isnt in your state with a firearm to scare people that are protesting against something you don't agree with.  Sure I'm sure the thought of actually using the gun never in 1000 years crossed his mind. Cmon Man!

    I don't disagree with that.

    Again, none of it happens if police are allowed to do their jobs.

    It's a shitty catch 22.  It doesn't have a right answer that will appease everyone.

    I don't see that the police weren't allowed to do their jobs, more or less that they were overwhelmed.  The lengths that would have to be gone to to get crowds that large into shape would be very authoritarian.

    Jeezus man.  You think that the kid really wanted to shoot people?

    You purchase a gun hoping never to have to use it, people don't buy them hoping to...
    It's like nobody here has ever taken a gun out into the streets of a town... out of their own state... during a contentious social uprising/protest... just minding their own business... not looking for trouble and had to kill someone before...damn elites.
    I would venture to guess that he brought it for protection yes, and to hopefully scare people.

    Why people think that guns are bought with the intentions of killing people is like saying all liberals hate guns... Oh wait...
    Scare people in what way, that he might use deadly force against them.  Seems reasonable, go to a town that isnt in your state with a firearm to scare people that are protesting against something you don't agree with.  Sure I'm sure the thought of actually using the gun never in 1000 years crossed his mind. Cmon Man!
    Intimidation would be my first thought, but that is just me.  You see a security guard you think twice about stealing I would imagine?

    If he did intend on harming someone then he got his wish and I can guarantee it is not how he thought it would end.
