    This guy traveled a distance from his home to Kinosha, Wisconsin armed to the teeth. He shot two men dead with an assault rifle and wounded one In August 2020. Today a judge decided he was innocent and acted in self defence. Another disgusting verdict. The National Guards have been on standby in the city for nearly a week. That should have been an indication on how things would go.

    This is the most unconvincing breakdown I have ever saw. Wee *.

    America, where justice depends on the colour of your skin.

    You just know he’ll sue now and get a big payday out of it

    I'm actually surprised he got away with that, seemed an open and shut case. Just when you think things will change we are back to square 1

    It would have been disgusting if he had been found guilty. Clear as day it was self defence. The mob chased him and were attacking him. One had a gun. Lucky there weren't more shot. One of them killed was an utter scum bag paedo as well so he did the world a favour.

    Media will always try and turn everything into a race war.

    I get that it's not advisable to go to a riot and run around with an AR-15. But it is America and it is legal. Its also legal to use it to defend yourself if you are being chased. One of the victims also admitted on the stand that Kyle only started shooting after a gun was cocked and aimed and him.

    Prosecution was a joke as well. The guy got his law degree on wish.

    One of the guys killed was a paedo so silver lining.

    Didn't realise him carrying that gun around in the first place was legal. What a country.

    Can see why he got away with it now.

    Aye mate, thank * we don't have guns here.

    The guy was walking towards a riot with a AR-15 (stupid). He was asking if anyone needed medical assistance and then got chased by people trying to take his gun off of him. One of them pointed a gun and him, and he killed two of them.

    Here is the full video, kind of hard to make out exactly, but you get the jist.

    After seeing that I think the decision was right.

    craziness there is that it’s legal to walk around with a gun like that

    I mean a lot of this scattershot verdicts are being said by people who haven't watched the footage or the testimony provided..

    Cut and dry self defense. First shooting, the individual in question chased Rittenhouse, attempted to corner him with the intent of taking his rifle, then obviously at the last moment shots were fired.

    Second individual got shot after hitting Rittenhouse over the head with a skateboard and again trying to take Rittenhouse's rifle as he was attempting to run away and turn himself in.

    Third who wasn't killed, but injured.. drew a Glock while Rittenhouse was on the ground.

    I mean I don't condone Rittenhouse at all.. but on the basis of American law, it's self defense... If the first individual, a convicted paedophile, amongst other crimes, didn't take it upon himself to chase and try to forcibly take the rifle from Rittenhouse.. this wouldn't have happened.

    I haven't seen much of the actual court case but
    Why was Rittenhouse outside with a gun in the first place?

    His claim it was to protect himself while he provided first aid to anyone in need of it, and put out fires during the riots (he had a fire extinguisher with him)... when he first encountered the crowd the testimony states that he shouted "friendly, friendly".. but the first individual took affront to his presence.

    Yep , if that law wasn't there he wouldn't have been in the situation to begin with.

    Self defence seems like an odd claim when he willingly drove over state lines to wander about with a gun during riots.
    What kind of medical help was this wee * going to give anyway?

    I really don't know much about the whole case but I watched the video footage of it all.
    A bit unclear what happened with the first individual but the other two that got shot looked fair game no? They chased him down and one had a handgun.

    The motives as to why he was there in the first place is a different story.
