In a country where you are allowed to carry guns? Yeah alright
He WASNT allowed to hold that gun, he was only 17
Even more heroic, I’d be running the other way
That’s not what I said. Nor even remotely close to what I said.
Thanks for your contribution
American gun laws are screwed up (coming from someone who has been considering getting one but not wanting one for over a year).
The Media is messed up massively.
The narratives and misinformation broadcasted over this case is remarkable.
Since Brexit, then Trump everything is polarized.
No Grey areas, little nuance just a line in the sand and a pitched battle.
Intersectionality is screwing us all.
Pleasure. Hopefully, it enabled you to realise how stupid yours was.
Sure thing
This really highlights how the media and politics mess with people's perception of things.
Three people confronted him.

What’s mad is people think it’s fine that he shot these because it’s the law rather than that the law is ****ed up.
Who would want to live somewhere where wandering into a protest with a loaded gun is seen as normal rather than confrontational.
It's very multifaceted.
He was portrayed to be a monster and guilty as **** by one set of media.
A Hero that deserves cannonization by another.
In the meantime people make their minds up really by Echo chamber (My Brother In Law is still livid about the verdict).
The Morality, again....Polarized.
The Third guy he shot also had a gun even though it wasn't an AR, pointed at him.
We could argue this all night, I know he was found guilty by an elected jury and some bizarre loop holes in Gun laws which were clearly written for hunting but allows any kid to run around and shoot an assault rifle which makes it hard to argue against.
The most f**ked up thing about this whole incident is that this little prick being brainwashed by the right wing media to thinking that he needed to go and play militia in an area of unrest - and now he is seen in the eyes of the law as satisfactory
You cannot argue this sets a terrifying precedent. That anyone can turn up to an incendiary protest anywhere in America fully armed, with a privileged notion of “order” then play judge jury and executioner without facing any consequences.
agreed I can’t believe people don’t think this sets a dangerous precedent. Carry and gun and provoke someone into attacking you. Free kill.
Beyond all that though the situation and the law is ****ed. Any other country on Earth walking into a protest with a rifle on your back would be seen as the lunacy and provocation it is.
But not only is the law in the US a dystopian nightmare but politicians then use a little psychopath as a point scorer and people are stupid and biased enough to lap it up.
The 3rd guy pointed a gun at him because he’d ****ing shot someone ffs, how can he be a monster and deserve to be killed while the other kid gets off completely. ****ed up country, ****ed up gun laws and ****ed up politicians being idolised by idiots.
Of course it is.
As is going in as a protester with a gun.
Joe Biden called Rittenhouse a White Supremacist apparently.
There are photos of him with the proud boys doing that daft white power sign.
But Biden would have been better off keeping quiet just stirs up the lunatic fringe on the other side hero worshiping a 16 year old psychopath. Just completely depressing I can’t imagine being the sort of **** to hero worship someone like that.
Are they a White Supremacist group?
Honest question as I do not know anything about them apart from they opposed Antfa.
If he did that then that was stupid, talk about stirring the pot.
It's a mess Mate.
Most politicians are clowns.
Yes and it’s quite clear where you get your news. Oppose Antifa ffs
Knows the in and outs of why Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent but knows “nothing” about the proud boys. Talk about the mask slipping.
I understand the idea 'that taking a rifle to a protest is looking for trouble'. But the reality is that hundreds of thousands of Americans did that over the summer. There were numerous protests with black panthers, white supremacist militias and local militias all in attendance.
If you decide that just being there with a rifle means he should go down, then there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of others who need to be in prison with him.
I’m saying the law is wrong, it’s ****ing nuts.
That law allowed him to kill 3 people and get no punishment at all for it. It’s nuts.
Taking a rifle to a protest is looking for trouble, nothing will convince me otherwise.
I agree, there's no way that allowing armed militias with military grade weapons to roam the streets is a good idea.
My only issue is when I see the comments from people arguing that he should go down , as taking a rifle was provocation. Without acknowledging that there were hundreds of thousands of others acting in an equally provocative way.
Unfortunately , Rittenhouse isn't the only pathetic little man who likes to wander the streets armed like a soldier
If I lived in the US, I'd be worried about going anywhere with a crowd. You just don't know what's round the corner.
I'm sure the chances of getting into a scrape with an automatic are tiny, but still...
