Rittenhouse found not guilty on all charges

It is our way. The jury gets to decide. We may not agree but it is not our responsibility.
The jury has spoken.

The jury ruled according to the law, which was what they were required to do. The problem isn't the jury; the problem is the laws and that it's perfectly legal for any ordinary citizen, of any intelligence or moral standing as long as they don't have a criminal record, to walk around with an AR-15 strapped around their chest. And they're allowed to do that in a chaotic area to boot with the encouragement and enthusiastic support of the police!

Rittenhouse will also almost certainly pursue media anti-defamation lawsuits. Corporate media have deeper pockets -- just ask Nick Sandmann, whom CNN made $250 million richer.

No way CNN agreed to pay him 250 million, no way. The settlement amount was not disclosed, but it is legally unrealistic for them to pay him 1/4 of a billion $'s.

Agreed, he went there deliberately with a gun (that he was not legally allowed to have) looking for trouble. Wonder if he will get away with it the next time he kills someone.

Correction: he was legally allowed to have that weapon as was clarified by law during the trial. Rather presumptuous of you to say he will kill again. This is what is wrong with the world.

Rittenhouse was the killer with the semi-auto. Rittenhouse was the murderer. Rittenhouse had no business being there but to start trouble and try out his new toy. Rittenhouse caused the interaction which left two people dead. Rittenhouse is a friend and follower of the Proud Boys, another violent mob of vigilantes who prey on those participating in BLM protests.

BLM protests have proven to be violent due to their methods.

BLM protests have also been proven to be violent due to other certain groups who travel to them from out of state. You can refer to the groups involved in that peaceful protest viewed by the world on January 6, 2021. I won't say any more or provide any links because it would violate the no politics rule on this forum.

Those January 6th "protesters" were trying to subvert our Constitution and our democracy. The BLM protesters were trying to stop police brutality.
 
I'll have to disagree that the US isn't still a desirable country to visit for those from other countries, but we do have quite a few major issues we need to sort out. The Kyle Rittenhouse situation put a spotlight on some of our laws that need to be amended. If I didn't watch the news I would be blissful but ignorant. We do have a great quality of life here.

Canada is a wonderful country without much of the rudeness and divisiveness we experience here in the US. I've visited many times and look forward to doing so again in the near future!

I agree. I have spent some time in Canada too, beautiful country, wildlife and nice people. The US is still a desirable country to visit, we just have to rein in the gun nutters, too many shootings of late. I'm not anti-gun, I'm anti-gun nutter.

All along they kept saying he was there to protect a business he worked at. The others were there to do damage or riot & loot businesses.
If I would have been in his shoes I would have done the exact same thing. We need more people like Rittenhouse to stand up & take America back like it use to be. Where there were NO riots or destructions.

Rittenhouse lied when he said he worked at that business. He did not, as was testified to by people who DID work there.
 
I got this somewhere and find it interesting: facts not opinion


I have watched the whole Rittenhouse Trial.
I didn't know that Kyle put out a dumpster fire that was being rolled down to a gas station to blow up, with people all around.
I didn't know that the Police were told to stand down as businesses were destroyed.
I didn't know that Kyles Dad, Grandma and Friends all lived in Kenosha, 20 minutes from where he resided with his Mom part time in Illinois.
I didn't know that Joseph Rosenbaum knocked him down twice and then attempted to kick him with lethal force to the head. I didn't know that Huber had hit him in the head 2x with a skateboard.
I didn't know Gaige Grosskreutz, a felon in possession of firearm, aimed his gun at Kyle first, as he admitted on the stand.
I also didn't know that in the State of Wisconsin, it is legal for Kyle to have a gun, even at 17 (which was why the gun charge was dismissed).
I didn't know that Kyle did not cross state lines with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. The rightful gun owner did, as he was legally permitted to do.
I also didn't realize that Rosenbaum was a 5 time convicted child rapist and that Huber was a 2 time convicted woman beater. I didn't know that Grosskreutz was a convicted Burglar with an assault on his record also.
IF THE MEDIA DID THEIR JOB... EVERYONE would have known this!
 
This post is not directed at anyone. It is just my thoughts. There seems to be a lot if misinformation going around about the actions and trial of Mr. Rittenhouse. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but misinformation can cause a lot of hate and discontent. Not to mention injury and death.

The savages are responding accordingly. One day, someone will have the guts to do something about this. Not protests, but outright rioting and thuggery.

That's a great way to stop police brutality, by setting fires and looting stores.

Now wonder the US has become a country that very few want to visit, when children can buy guns. Thank goodness we are Canadians!

More US bashing, just what this "friendly" forum needs!

FWIW, when we lived in WA state, we once made a day trip to Vancouver, BC. The traffic was horrible, drivers were as bad as anything I've seen in NY or Chicago, and we tried to get on a bus and ask the driver a question, and he snapped at us very rudely. We were astonished, as none of this fit our previous perceptions of Canadians.

We never returned to Vancouver after that, though we did visit other parts of Canada often, and found the people very nice. (Most of the people in the US are very nice also). Canada has its shootings also, BTW. Just read the news. It's so easy to sling nasty generalizations around. None of them hold up when given a moment's thought.

I do agree with you that it's much too easy for children to get their hands on guns. But how about toning down the hatred of this country? In spite of having lots of room for improvement, most people find it a wonderful place to live, or visit.
