Guess if convict based on moral interpretation rather than legal interpretation that gives a whole load of other problems. The kid deserves to be punished. You cannot take an AR into an open street, where there is trouble and not think this is a bad idea. He wanted to hurt people that night, no question. Why do it otherwise. But we don't deal in what ifs or thought's that occur to people. We deal with the actual actions and legal interpretation of those actions.
But how do you deal with it if technically is legal?

I don't believe for a second that he felt his life was in danger. Fucking scum. Yeah. He went there with the specific intent of engineering a situation where he could use his rifle. If that isn't intent, I don't know what is. |

Obviously it's impossible to know. But personally I think "stupid teenager wants to look tough, does stupid thing by joining volatile situation, completely panics and ends up getting people killed" is as likely an explanation as him literally going to hunt people down.
Even the "he tried to engineer a situation in which he could claim self-defence" theory is giving him far more credit (and intelligence) than he deserves.
Obviously "teenager is fucking moron" is not an excuse, but to me it's a likelier explanation.

It's just the whole thing behind it, the owning of the libs, the cheering of an underage vigilante as a patriot and a hero, the optics of another white guy being giving a slap on the wrists and using that alpha male stance of going in with an AR rifle to a zone where he was not required and believing himself above and in tandem with the law and having an outcome which confirms all of his beliefs. All of it is fucking despicable and we all know despite the talk of being under threat and self defense and the interpretation of the law, if this was a black kid the outcome would have been massively different. Well said. It's a systemic issue in the US that's been brought out in the daylight. Of course the white power people will lionize the little shit, he's an illustration of everything they want. Unequal rights. The videos where he walks past the police after having killed people, where he walks up to them for protection. It's so scary. |

I kinda think "teen does something stupid" is pretty far removed from "teen organises to have assault rifle available while travelling to riots from out of state and then proceeds to kill people with it".
He may not be the cleverest person in the world but I can't believe he didn't consciously contemplate something like this happening.

He's going to be super special guest star on Tucker Carlson on Monday night to kick off his media career, so we'll no doubt find out then what motivated this brave young man to go out and defend his freedoms (to kill people).

Yes, I suspect this is all going to prove particularly lucrative for young Mr Rittenhouse. Jolly good world, we've got here. Jolly good.

It's not about a teen being stupid, or a teen being malicious. It's about the American system doing what it's designed to do.
This is Murica.
I'm not looking forward to the next election.

Guilty or not, celebrating in the way the conservatives are is a bit disgusting given people are still dead because of his stupidity.
It would be one thing celebrating some perceived miscarriage of justice but what they’re doing isn’t even that.

Looking forward to the Fox Thanksgiving charity campaign, to provide assault rifles and ammo to any white teenagers who tragically can't afford their own.

I think if you look around at humanity and ask 'Do we deserve another 4 years of Donald Trump?', the answer is a resounding 'Yes!'.
America certainly does.

I mean, it'd be a lot funnier if the US didn't have so many nuclear weapons. And most of them are based on states which are pretty red, so when the US implodes, which seems to be the current course it's one, presumably we're going to see an awful lot of nuclear warheads in states which will be controlled by insane evangelist psychopaths with apocalyptic religious beliefs. |

Ubisoft may sue you, that's the plot of Far Cry 7 (or did they already do that with 5? Never played it). |

Yep. And if Mel Gibson gets hold of any, Britain and Israel had better start building the mattress forts. |

I like the mentality that a president with the most slender majority who is trying to pass what he can is somehow a worse option than one who utterly failed to pass anything when he had a good majority on the senate
