Prosecutors Move For Mistrial As Jury Has Been Tainted By Clear Video Evidence Of Kyle Rittenhouse

This is what happens when an underaged gun nut goes into an angry crowd with an assault rifle and body armor. Gee, who could see it coming...
I thought it was what happens when a group of anarchists riot, trash, burn down neighborhoods and their victims defend themselves.
Was Rittenhouse's neighborhood trashed or burned down? I dont think anything happened to his house or his entire neighborhood and entire state away
His dad supposedly lives there.
We all, as adults, know that he was truly enjoying the rush of being a "Rambo"-type. He enjoyed the thrill of walking around with the rifle, open carry, and felt empowered to do "good" if needed by using his first-aid skills as an excuse for being there, while having his rifle with him so he could protect himself if SHTF.
Did he want STHF? Nope. When it did, did he do what was his legal right? Yes. And before anyone here goes off half-cocked about what his "legal right" may be, which is the ability to use deadly force if he felt his life was endangered, then ask yourself this...
Does the fact that he traveled out-of-state to engage in this dust-up seem suspicious? Yes. Does that then negate the fact that no matter where you are, you have a legal right to defend yourself in self-defense? No.
The guy is getting acquitted.
It is dicey here.... guy illegally crossed state lines with a a firearm and went into a violent situation. So before we get into anything he is guilty of a felony. You dont get to use a secondary act to justify a felony beforehand.
Second, he puts himself into a very dangerous situation carrying a large weapon. There is no evidence of what he did prior to being chased down or the guy swinging a skateboard at him. Why not? Those people are dead. So was he innocently standing around and get surrounded by people and fired to save his life? Cannot tell because the 2 guys are dead and we only have a video of him shooting the weapon.
His claims are conjecture, we don't believe what he says simply because he says it....then no one would ever go to jail.
he question is do you get to plead self defense in a situation you entered into illegally while commiting a felony and create a dangerous situation and then claim self defense when you kill 2 people....
Not as clear cut as you want to make it seem...since police and DAs don't want private citizens entering dangerous situations with guns and killing people and claiming self defense, this case sets a good or bad precedent.
Imagine I see a bunch of trumpets with red hats marching down town towards the capitol and claiming they will overthrow the government. I jump in front of them with an illegally carried firearm and pull my weapon and tell them to stand down. they run at me and throw shit at me so I gun them down..... is that what you want to be ok?
Before we go any further, I need clarification...
I haven't been watching the entire trial, only caught some bits of Kyle's defense as a witness. I recall him testifying that the rifle was stored at Dominick Black's house in Wisconsin on the day of the incident? So he did not transport the rifle across state lines? Clarify that bit for me?
I recall seeing videos of this when it was going down. Did the defense provide videos like this in the trial?
And there is another video, even more graphic, of when he shot the one guy in the head by the cars. I don't have the time to try to find that video, where that dude was taunting Rittenhouse, threatening to kill him, and chasing him into that alcove of cars where Kyle felt surrounded and could not escape.

Y'all will see here in this post and elsewhere a sudden interest in firearm violations. There is a reason for that? giggle. Other charges not lookin so good.
And while we are on the topic, as I asked yesterday how we lookin on a firearm charge against the guy who Rit shot- the one who lived. He tried to kill Rit with a handgun he had been carrying concealed- no permit. Keep me posted on how that case is coming along. OR NOT.
