Is it normal to you to see a "party" burning down American towns, murdering and beating people?
You're putting words into my mouth.
I never said nor implied that.
Here's how I initially reacted on Page 1 of this thread:
Kyle Rittenhouse to go free!!!
Its a clear cut case of Self Defense. He was being pursued by a gunman who fired the first shot, Kyle gonna walk, FACT!bastardfactory.net
I don't know if he was really acting in self defense.Rittenhouse chose to be in a place where he shouldn't have been, plus he was in illegal possession of a firearm.So he's got a couple of strikes against him.However, I don't have much sympathy for at least one of his victims - that guy RosenbloomHe seemed like a real shit disturber/professional protester. who looked for fights wherever he went.And he finally met his match.Don't know about the other guy Rittenhouse shot tho....so contrary to what you would like to believe I never endorsed anyone or defended anyone on either side.
And that's still my position.
As I'm not familiar with all the nuances of Wisconsin Criminal Law, I'd have to read the judgement and the laws.
Another factor to consider, not every judge thinks alike nor would allow or disallow the motions which Judge Schroeder did.
It could have had a completely different outome had there been a different judge.
Joe you talking about "sides" and politics in a situation where violent people descended on a town to burn it, brutalize locals(beating up old men) and loot.
The state sat back and allowed it.
So residents needed to go out armed to protect their community.
A psycho targeted one and attacked him. He shot. Then the mob attacked.
The entire incident is on film. Even the Feds had it.
Kyle went to turn himself in. Now normally....when someone turns themselves in after killing in self defense, they dont arrest.
They do an investigation. If its found to be self defense.....there are no charges. No trial.
If it looks shadey? They use evidence they have and bring forth reasonable charges that fit the evidence
In THIS case....an investigation wasnt even DONE. Within days.....unreasonable charges with no evidence were made by a predatory, opportunist prosecutor. He saw a political opportunity.
