I just got this email from Gun Owners Of America. Glad they are speaking out and providing support. Makes me proud to be a member.





Springfield, VA – Gun Owners of America (GOA) Senior Vice President Erich Pratt released the following statement on Kyle Rittenhouse’s citizen-involved shooting:

“Based upon publicly available video evidence, it appears that Kyle Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense. And despite fake news media reports, it is clear that Kyle was not firing indiscriminately into a crowd.

“GOA has reached out to Rittenhouse’s attorneys and the Lake County Public Defender’s office, and we have our own attorneys and use of force experts looking into this case, too. In the meantime, we demand fair treatment from the media, because up till now, their coverage has been horrific. With no evidence, they have labeled Kyle as a racist and a vigilante, but that just indicates how the media elites view all gun owners.

“More to the point, the media has given more favorable coverage to rioters and looters over the past several months than to gun owners who appear to be protecting their lives from violent attackers. The media excuses the violent torching of American cities as ‘mostly peaceful’ protests. And they now minimize the hatefulness of Kyle’s attackers, calling them mere ‘protesters.’

“But if Leftists want to question why Kyle Rittenhouse was in Kenosha, then they should begin by asking that question to the ‘protesters’ who have criminal records and who have come from out of town to terrorize business owners.

“The bottom line is this: every human being has a God-given right to protect themselves. And when a person’s life is under attack, the Constitution protects their ability to use firearms without ‘infringement’ in the defense of that life.”

They need to put they fund raising away and let Wood do his job without any interference from the GOA.


Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Are you referring to stress eating? If so, I can relate. I did some stress eating this year and gained about 15 lbs most of which did go to my waist. We should all strive to keep ourselves in "fighting shape" so we are best able to fight the fight if necessary. Never letting a crisis "go to waist" is some pretty good advice.

A 2A rights group publicly supporting a gun owner being unlawfully prosecuted in a politicized case, offering to help pay for his defense in a case that could eventually effect every one of us is a bad thing? You seem to be consistently on the wrong side of a lot of issues.

But it's okay to donate to BLM.

And it's okay to donate to Saint Floyd's GoFundMe..?

Right?

We go to support those that value and support our freedom and rights, and get condemned?

GFY.

He is a freaking Idiot. I am sure the great NRA will be along any minute to save the day. They'll just do it quietly so it will be a secret.

There's a whole lot more that goes into defendant a felony than a lawyer that's willing to work for free. There are going to be costs for expert witnesses, investigators, subpoenas, etc. Wood may be willing to work for free but is he going to front a hundred grand out of pocket to cover all of that? It looks like GOA is willing to do that for the kid.
