It seems that there are some who see this 17 year old boy as more of a man than they are, so they feel the need to run him and his manlier-than-they-are actions down in order to try to make themselves feel better.

Do you feel it was his job to stop the city from burning?


Some would call it a community service . smile



Some would also call it a really bad idea that will haunt countless others for their lifetimes.



Some are thankful that other people have the balls enough to stand up for what they believe in. Kyle believed in protecting property, providing first aid and self-defense. Seems to me that things simmered down a bit after he took action. Happenstance I am sure. Nothing to do with citizens standing up for what they believe in.



Did the Wis governor not accept help from Trump the next day? ...............HMMMM maybe it was the Feds who quelled things.


Weird that the feds and the gov were compelled to help immediately after a young man with more balls than me stood up and did what he thought was right.

I thought Wis gov denied help at first, then the shooting and then he asked for fed help.

As opposed to a video game?


So you classify a small brief skirmish during
Civil disorder as combat?..



I merely stated the 17 year olds have been in combat forever.

But, since you wanna play word games, I would guess being surrounded by a violent, hostile mob, being charged by an individual with intent to disarm, being struck violently in the head by the edge of a hard wooden object and being charged by a guy with a Glock 19 might have elements of a combat-like experience.

Zulu wars maybe?

So Rittenhouse and yourself have never
experienced actual combat.

Better still birdie or yourself should cite the law
that refers to Rittenhouse having the status of
'combatant'.

He became a combatant when he was attacked.

Once you're attacked, you're either a combatant or a victim. Of course you can be both a combatant *and* a victim. But if you don't become a combatant when you're attacked you're definitely going to be a victim.

War involves opposing belligerent forces.
and if captured as a legal combatant one
becomes a POW... and if accused of some
wrong doing, faces a military tribunal.

Trying to pick at the meaning of the word "combat" (and they are simply wrong in this also) is a diversionary tactic, and shows how those using this tactic don't really have anything substantive. And when the first diversion is questioned, they give no answer.. only another diversion. They're just trying to sow confusion. Trying to trip people up. Trying to play "gotcha". And they really do think they are being clever. This is pure trolling. For some reason, it gives them pleasure. The world would be a better place if they all took up a different hobby.

Combat and combatant has specific meaning/
legal definition in the context Birdie referred to.

Bristoe and Stophel do nothing more than
make a train wreck of Birdies intial absurd
combat claim.

Starman, the 17 year old, though it wasn't smart to be there, was sick of the phussified democrat township politicians letting the commie insurgents run rampant. He showed more balls than most on this forum and ten ten times what you have and stood up for what was right. the one's to blame are not him . But the Mayer and city council for holding the police force back an letting the commies run amuck just to make Trump look bad and gain what they thought was momentum for the "new" democratic party. Which is now the socialist party, read communist. It was combat, and if you want to experience it first hand come to 7902 FM 1448, in Winnsboro, Texas and I'll introduce your sorry commie asss to it.

1911,

If you are all locked and loaded why are you not
out there engaging the commies on the streets
running riot?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I wouldn't let my minor children arm themselves and go unsupervised into a potentially dangerous situation, particularly so if they were acting as private citizens rather than as members of a legally constituted posse.
