So far it seems he was not legally permitted to open carry outside his state of residence. and Wisconsin law does not permit shooting someone to protect property.
His heart may be in the right place, but he certainly ain't the brightest, so probably a great candidate for a Gov job somewhere.
He wasn't shooting to "protect property". He was shooting to protect himself. What he was doing (legally) prior the point he was attacked and fired in self defense does not matter. He was conducting himself in a legal manner, then was TWICE pursued by those attempting to do great bodily harm to him. Maybe being there wasn't "smart". But it was (at least as we can discern now) noble, and certainly legal. This is still America (for now). People are free to go where ever the fugg they want to engage in legal activities. Cleaning graphiti, providing services as a result of a technical skill (paramedic), and standing watch over property are all legal activities. What if he responded to Louisiana to assist with hurricane recovery efforts? And in the process of assisting with those efforts, was attacked, and needed to defend himself. Would that change anything? It shouldn't. The fact he crossed a state, county, or city line shouldn't weigh into this.

The fact that he was charged will keep the spotlight on this much longer than it would have otherwise. Especially with the legal firepower that looks to be helping.

And here's the incident the left was waiting for to have a "gun control" issue in the news to inflame that group, prior to the election.
Still waiting for the "gay" and "hispanic" issues, should be any day now.

The socialists are already saying that he's a white supremacists and a drug addict. I don't believe either. They will spin this any which way their ministers of propaganda decide...

The spin... https://thehill.com/homenews/news/5...t-attended-trump-rally-in-january-reportKyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois teen charged with fatally shooting two people at a Black Lives Matter protest Tuesday night in Kenosha, Wis., appears to have attended one of President Trump’s campaign rallies in January.
A TikTok video on an account that appears to belong to Rittenhouse shows the teen standing in the front row of a Trump rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 30, BuzzFeed News first reported.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

I didn't see evidence of that in the videos I saw. There seemed to be no wounds on him except the head. The people that gathered around him couldn't figure out where he'd been shot either, because his shirt was off and tangled around his face. It had been used as a sort of hat as he ran at Rittenhouse before the shooting. The only obvious wound was in his head, and he looked like someone with a traumatic brain injury. He wasn't dead, but he wasn't responsive either. I could be wrong, but that isn't what I saw, and though there were others firing guns around there, it looked and sounded to me like Rittenhouse fired four times.

And I'd love to be shown that I'm wrong. Put your seat belt on because you'll be going for a ride. Volunteering to clean graffiti from public building. Not only is this kid going to walk he will receive a large settlement...

According to the article posted from the New York Times, in addition to the rounds fired by Rittenhouse from his rifle, there were at least 16 other shots fired. Kinda makes one wonder who were the other shooters?? Some one (or ones) were certainly capping off other rounds and where did they go?? Were they addressed "To Whom It May Concern?" L.W.

The situation: Wacko communist with his shirt over his head is throwing stuff at you and chasing you (apparently also swinging a brick in a pillowcase or something like that). You're running away. You get blocked by a bunch of parked cars. You hear gunshots. You turn around and see the madman almost on top of you and reaching for your gun. What do you do?
Damn right, pow, pow, pow.

LOL I didn't say he fired to protect property. But reports are he was there with his weapon with the aim of protecting property.
.. What he was doing (legally) prior the point he was attacked and fired in self defense does not matter.
Its not just about what he was doing legally, Was he breaking the lawful cerfew like the other offenders? Was he as an 17 yo Illinois resident legally carrying his weapon in Wisconsin? Open carry and concealed carry is legal for those who are minimum 18 years age.

My God you're stupid. so when I go back to Wisconsin to grouse hunt I need a permit for my ugartechea sxs? Rittenhouse comes from a single mom household, dropped out of school and failed to qualify for the armed forces... He was breaking the 8pm cerfew, whilst carrying from out of state His fakebook page is all about putting LE on a pedestal, with 'blue lives matter'.. .the Trump campaign has released statement distancing itself from supporting his actions and applauded LE in their swift action to arrest him. So far it seems he was not legally permitted to open carry outside his state of residence. and Wisconsin law does not permit shooting someone to protect property.
His heart may be in the right place, but he certainly ain't the brightest, so probably a great candidate for a Gov job somewhere.

Its not about you - it's about a 17 yo and what the law of Wisconsin does/doesn't permit for minors.

So when does the felon with his forearm half blown off get charged with attempted murder, Restricted person in possession of a firearm, etc.? Oh that’s right, he won’t be because the Dems are in league with these people.
Also, what are the odds of the thee people shot all being felons? I’ll bet the overall makeup of the rioters are ex-cons!
Yours in Liberty,

He was not a resident of Kenosha. He resides in Illinois. He traveled to Kenosha looking for trouble and he found it.
I have no trouble with the moment of the shooting and him defending himself. But I'd predict that because he sought trouble by arming himself and going to a known trouble spot, prosecutors will try to imprison him for life. And I'd predict that prison for life is in his future.
He didn't live very far away. Just across the state line, and maybe 30 miles from Kenosha, I believe. If it turns out that he had close family in Kenosha it may make a difference for him. Or maybe not...
Just like those "colored folks" that wanted to eat at a different restaurant or sit in a different seat on the bus. They shoulda stayed in their own neighborhoods and ate at their own restaurants. Nobody ever said they shouldn't eat. Right? Our ancestors should have picked their own godddamm cotton and left the Africans in Africa.

I just saw on AOL news that people and relatives of the two dead felons are saying they were sweet gentle people who would not hurt a fly. That crap would gag a maggot. What total mitigate political bovine excrement. Are people rally that stupid? The dead were the "good guys"? We truly are in a bizzarro world. Paul B.

Colonial America was a business venture, and top executives in England made the call to import black slaves to increase the profit margin. Only later did Americans start thinking of themselves as a nation distinct from these business concerns. By then, the black slaves were already here.
