Re: Rittenhouse Not Guilty!!!!
I agree with all of the above, however I question why Rittenhouse was there roaming the streets with an AR rifle.
Legally or not I believe he was looking for trouble and unfortunately for everyone including himself he found it. |

Re: Rittenhouse Not Guilty!!!!
He had roots and kin in that town. He wanted to protect that dealership.I don't call that roaming the streets. The trouble sought out him. The felonious punks who were illegally carrying were the ones looking for trouble. Hand guns vs. AR 15? Glad two of them were removed from the gene pool.

Re: Rittenhouse Not Guilty!!!!
PoltiFact;
The gun Rittenhouse used in the shootings was provided by his friend, 20-year-old Dominick Black of Racine, Wis., after Rittenhouse arrived in Kenosha, according to a criminal complaint. According to the complaint: Black bought the rifle for Rittenhouse in May 2020, using money from Rittenhouse, and they agreed the rifle would be stored at Black’s stepfather’s house in Kenosha. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, was too young to legally buy the gun in Wisconsin. At Rittenhouse’s trial, Black testified that he bought the rifle for Rittenhouse and that they shot target practice together in a rural area. On the day of the shootings, Black testified, Black invited Rittenhouse to join him at the Kenosha protest to protect a car dealership. Before they went to the protest, Black testified that they went together to the home of Black’s stepfather to get Rittenhouse’s gun. Last edited by Frank Castros; 01-25-2022 at 02:59 PM. |

Re: Rittenhouse Not Guilty!!!!
Vigilantism comes with consequences.
If my property or loved ones are jeopardized and I didn't believe the legal authorities would immediately act on my behalf I probably would take matters in my own hands. But it would not be a premediated reaction. |

Re: Rittenhouse Not Guilty!!!!
ActualFact;
It was decided at the trial that the AR that Rittenhouse was carrying was legal and he could legally carry it. The two handguns that were involved whether they were legal or not could not legally have been in the possession of convicted felons. Which they were.

Re: Rittenhouse Not Guilty!!!!
He was protecting a family business! He didn't go looking for trouble, it came looking for him!

Billy,
It is a family business but not Rittenhouse's family. Frank |

Re: Rittenhouse Not Guilty!!!!
Does it make sense for a 17 year old to openly carry a AR-15 that he doesn't own on a public street? Especially during a highly emotional and destructive protest.

Re: Rittenhouse Not Guilty!!!!
I am guessing that you dont agree with the verdict. Sometimes that happens. He was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. End of story. Move on.
