View Full Version : Rittenhouse was legally in possession of that rifle
Jim in CT 11-15-2021, 08:08 PM ok, on many TV stations, and God knows how many blogs,, and even among a few of you here, I was told that Rittenhouse wasn’t legally allowed to be holding that rifle.
It’s all bullsh*t. Wisconsin law explicitly states that he was legally allowed to be in possession of that rifle, at that time, at that age. There was no crime.
No one bothered to read Wisconsin state law before they concluded he broke the law.
The left ( democrats and the media) need to somehow figure out that they are turning big numbers of people off, pushing them to the right.
Also, we found that Rittenhouses father lives in Kinosha. All this talk about how he had no reason to care about was happening there. No one knew that until the last couple of days. because it doesn’t fit The Narrative.
it’s so unbelievably dishonest and misleading.
Every single person in the media who said he committed a crime by possessing that rifle, was lying. Flat out lying. And America knows it. And we know why they did it.
Will any of them apologize for it?

with all that evidence, who can argue with you.

Jim, do you think a minor should be able to open carry a high velocity weapon in any state?

the law says a 17 year old can have that rifle as long as it’s barrel was beyond a minimum length. his was.
no, for the 20th time i think what rittenhouse did was one of the dumber and more reckless things i’ve heard of. but it’s not against the law to be dumb and reckless.
he. didn’t. break. that. law.
i think it was dumb if him to be there with that rifle. dumb. but not illegal.
the way this was spun in the media, is unbelievable. now that the truth is seeing the light of the day, it’s one more thing to hold against the left.

Read the law, that’s not what it says. The judge is trying to get this kid off with nothing. I don’t think he should be in jail for life but he needs to own up to his incredibly reckless behavior.

post the law then spence, or give it a rest. i’m going by the judge. the judge got the prosecutor team to concede that the rifle was long enough such that it was legal. the prosecutor stated that.
we don’t put people in prison for doing things you don’t happen to like, unless he breaks a law. i don’t see a broken law.
the media lies help the right. an acquittal helps the riot. subsequent rioting will help the right.

When All The Media Narratives Collapse
In case after case, the US MSM just keeps getting it wrong.
Andrew Sullivan NOV 12
Trump was right, in the end, about the dodgy dossier; he was right about the duped FBI’s original overreach; and the mass media — Rachel Maddow chief among them — were wrong. And yet the dossier dominated the headlines for three years, and the “corrections” have a fraction of the audience of the errors. Maddow gets promoted. And the man who first published it, Ben Smith, was made the media columnist for the NYT.
Think of the other narratives the MSM pushed in recent years that have collapsed. They viciously defamed the Covington boys. They authoritatively told us that bounties had been placed on US soldiers in Afghanistan by Putin — and Trump’s denials only made them more certain. They told us that the lab-leak theory of Covid was a conspiracy theory with no evidence behind it at all. (The NYT actually had the story of the leak theory, by Donald McNeil, killed it, and then fired McNeil, their best Covid reporter, after some schoolgirls complained he wasn’t woke.) Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
The MSM took the ludicrous story of Jussie Smollett seriously because it fit their nutty “white supremacy” narrative. They told us that a woman was brutally gang-raped at UVA (invented), that the Pulse mass shooting was driven by homophobia (untrue) and that the Atlanta spa shooter was motivated by anti-Asian bias (no known evidence for that at all). For good measure, they followed up with story after story about white supremacists targeting Asian-Americans, in a new wave of “hate,” even as the assaults were disproportionately by African Americans and the mentally ill.
As Greenwald noted, the NYT “published an emotionally gut-wrenching but complete fiction that never had any evidence — that Officer Sicknick’s skull was savagely bashed in with a fire extinguisher by a pro-Trump mob until he died.” The media told us that an alleged transgender exposure in the Wi Spa in Los Angeles was an anti-trans hoax (also untrue). They told us that the emails recovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation. They did this just before an election and used that claim to stymie the story on social media. But they were not Russian disinformation. They were a valid if minor news story the media consciously kept from its audience for partisan purposes.
More recently, the MSM were telling us for months that inflation is a phantasm. We were told that the “2021 Inflation Scare is another in a series of false alarms going back several decades.” We were assured that “the numbers at least for now are on the side of those expecting the trend to subside and then stabilize at lower levels.” Any concern was “fearmongering politics.” And now we wake up to the highest inflation in 30 years, counter-balancing wage increases. Still, they tell us, all will be well.
We were told that vaccines would end the Covid pandemic. But they merely altered Covid to a manageable disease that you could still contract while vaccinated. We were told that the migrant surge at the border was just seasonal, and nothing out of the ordinary, even as 1.7 million migrants were illegally trying to get into the country in the last year. We were told that sending migrants back to their home countries was a wicked and unconscionable Trump tactic — even as the Biden administration swiftly copied it with Haitian immigrants — to much success. The cruelty is the point, eh?
We were — and still are! — being told by most of the media that critical race theory isn’t in high schools at all. Meanwhile, a tsunami of evidence is out there showing that it absolutely is — in every subject, and every class, as the central philosophy behind many states’ education policies.
We all get things wrong. What makes this more worrying is simply that all these false narratives just happen to favor the interests of the left and the Democratic party.

in which “poorly worded” means, Spence doesn’t like it.
it doesn’t matter if he likes it, the people of Wisconsin like it.
his best comeback is “well do you think a 17 year old kid should be acting like a Texas Ranger with an AR-15…”
The wisdom of what Rittenhouse did could not matter less in court. All that matters is the legality of what he did.
17 year-old boys typically aren’t in possession of a lot of wisdom. They can’t be, because wisdom is a function of experience.
His mother on the other hand, god almighty lady what were you thinking.
all the lefties here were fooled by the press. the press beat the drum endlessly that he possessed that gin illegally. i heard that 500 times since this began.
the press said he was a white supremacist. i assumed
he shot black people.
the press made it seem like he had no reason to want to protect Kenosha. I learned yesterday that his father lives there, it’s like his second home.
To the lefties here, would you like it if the press all got together to do this to your child?
Trump caught tons of heat for saying the press is the enemy of the people. Well, they were the enemy of the duke lacrosse team, of Darren Wilson, of Nick Samdman, and of Rittenhouse, for sure. The media lied about these people to push a political narrative. That’s a demonstrable pattern. That doesn’t bother the lefties here?
The press absolutely is the enemy of anyone that stands between them and promoting The Narrative.
The media lied, making it more likely these people would be vilified and sent to prison, to serve a political
narrative. That doesn’t bother you guys?
How many times do they get to be this wrong, before they start to lose credibility with you guys? Is there any limit?

wdmso 11-16-2021, 08:56 AM The judge removed the charge possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.
The charge is only a misdemeanor.. this doesn’t change the fact he shot 3 people 1 clearly unarmed who the kid of course claiming he said he was going to kill him , who can’t dispute it he’s dead ..
the other Armed man he shot who only exposed his weapon after The kid had already shot someone 4 times . Is conveniently denied his right to self defense ?
It’s just sad to see conservatives using this child as a proxy in their culture war
the ultimate, cheap, expendable, yet sophisticated human weapon.” They have no real sense of fear and, when indoctrinated
I watch a limited amount of the coverage the kid has no remorse beyond the 1st breakdown
But i did notice he would yawn without covering his mouth.. it showed to me how immature he is .

Rittenhouse didn’t point his gun at that guy, until after that guy pointed his gun at rittenhouse. rittenhouse wasn’t threatening that guy when that guy pointed his gun at rittenhouse. video showed this, the guy admitted on the stand that rittenhouse didn’t point his gun at him, until after he pointed his gun at rittenhouse.
it’s a really bad idea to let riots go without putting them down, especially if governors ignore the riots because they don’t want to be seen as hostile to the BLM/Antifa cause. these things happen when violent riots are allowed to continue.

Prosecutor should be brought up on charges and loose his license to practice law !
Judge should have thrown out the whole case when the witness admitted under oath he pointed his gun 1st and the prosecutor tried to get him to change his prior statement.
There will be riots no doubt but there’s not much left to burn during the “peaceful protest”
The only way the jury convicts is if BLM did their job scaring the #^&#^&#^&#^& out of them with their threats to burn their homes and kill their kids !

The judge didn’t find that the possession was legal. The defense found a contradictory statute buried in the books and successfully argued the charge should be dropped. The prosecution should have been prepared to appeal but they were not and the judge made the call literally minutes before closing arguments were set to begin. The law wasn’t clear and that usually favors the defense.

The kid thought the Ar 15 gave him the power of intimidation. Why else would a 17 year we walking around solo in that environment
Being Immature didn’t help.
And I am not saying this kid went with a plan to shoot 3 people

Jim has not ignored the evidence presented in the trial. Your opinions are not evidence.
According to Jim the kid is not responsible for his actions nothing he’s just a poor victim. And did nothing wrong..
Jim will probably correct your misrepresentation or lie or willful blindness or whatever it is, but, unless I'm as blind as you, I have not seen Jim say any of that.
Who should be seen as a law enforcement officer who has experience and trained in these situations
??
And was justified because he thought he was going to be killed or he thought they were going to take his gun and use it on Him .. Bla bla bla
The evidence presented in the trial backs up what he thought. Unlike your repeated bla bla bla opinionated comments.
Like I’ve said you start a fight and start losing . You cannot decide to suddenly claim self defense
What fight did he start? Is this more of your bla bla blaisms?
The kid thought the Ar 15 gave him the power of intimidation. Why else would a 17 year we walking around solo in that environment
Of course, there is no way, according to you, that he could have considered it was a means of protecting himself in a riotous situation. It could only mean, in your "why else" frame of opinionated bla blaismatic way of thinking that he wanted to walk around solo to intimidate.
Being Immature didn’t help.
True, but not a crime.
And I am not saying this kid went with a plan to shoot 3 people
That's a relief.
but he went with the mindset he was willing to use his weapon and show those s people what’s what ..
In the vast majority of times people carry a weapon they have a mindset of willingness to use it. That's what it's for.
Such a mindset is normal, not criminal.

Question: If Rittenhouse were at the Capitol on 1/6, would he have shot Babbitt?

If Babbitt chased you, and while you were down, she lifted a gun and pointed it at your head, would you shoot her?

If I saw an active shooter who had killed two people and I was armed and he was in front of me I would have shot Kyle.
That guy who had the guns mistake was he failed to pull the trigger.
It would have been self defense, the kid had already killed two other people.

I don’t think killing comes natural to most people. Had he shot Rittenhouse he would likely have been heralded as a hero for stopping suck a reckless teenager. So sad all around.

So in that case, the officer of the law should have assumed that the perp was unarmed.
But in Kyle’s case the unarmed guys who were “scaring” him were unarmed and he shot two of them.

So, without knowing why he was being chased, nor why he defended himself from the attackers, you would have shot him? Judge, jury, and executioner? From the prejudicial, biased, and often hateful comments you make, that's not surprising.
And, given all the facts revealed in this trial, you think you would have been exonerated as acting in self defense?

very sad all around. 100% correct.
and a textbook example of why it’s a horrible idea for local government ( and the feds) to allow these riots to continue until rioters run out of Molatov cocktails. When a governor decides that being seen as sympathetic to BLM is more important than keeping peace, he’s asking for this to happen.

Jim you can’t have if it both ways upset when one of your MAGA hero’s is shot
By a trained police officer who felt the threat was reasonable
But demand it reasonable that a child shoots a man 4 times who threw a empty trash bag at him ? Who injected himself into the chaos
We’re the people who chased down the jogger justified when he grab their gun . To claim self defense ..?
This Wild West mentality of conservatives seems only acceptable if the shooter support their ideas .. Kyle is just what Trump and his followers wanted to mobilize in Kenosha and in Portland..and across the United States all they got was a child until they lost the election then the rest decided to make an appearance
I have no dog in this fight the jury will decide .. and that’s that
I may agree or disagree with the verdict. But that’s how our system of justice works..

Nonsense, I respond to vileness after someone else engages in it.
"you get upset because your endless posts get push back"
Nonsense, I respond when you claim I said something I never came close to saying. You and Pete do it every day.
"I see the world as it is"
Seriously? You keep saying that Rittenhouse is my hero, and that I condone everything he did. "See the world as it is"? Wayne, you can't get through a single thread without completely lying about what it is that conservatives say.
You said maybe a month ago that Republicans are incapable of doing anything for other Americans. I believe that you sincerely believe that. And it's stupid, it's demonstrably false. The data show that there is very little difference in generosity between conservatives and liberals, and to the extent there is a difference, it suggests conservatives are more charitable, even though they have lower average incomes.
You see the world as CNN tells you it is. That's a far, far cry from seeing the world as it is.
We'd get along great if you could just respond to what I actually say, rather than accusing me of being a Trumplican who thinks Rittenhouse is a hero and all the other nonsensical craziness you claim that I say.
Sincerely, have a great day. Beautiful day today. Taking my golden for a long walk.

scottw 11-21-2021, 06:03 AM there they go throwing urine again...nice people
(CNN)Protests broke out around the country Friday after a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin, found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty in the shooting deaths of two people during protests there last year.
In New York, demonstrators shut down the Brooklyn Bridge, and in Portland, Oregon, they forced open a jail gate, prompting the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office to declare a riot.
"The crowd, which was described as hostile, launched urine, alcoholic beverages, water bottles and batteries at deputies during the event," the sheriff's office said in a press release early Saturday morning.
At around 7:30 pm Friday, members of a crowd dressed in black to obscure their identities spray-painted the Justice Center. People chanted “Rittenhouse is guilty!” and “Kyle is a terrorist!” to the accompaniment of drums.
the same people that have been terrorizing that city for over a year and a half chanting "Kyle is a terrorist"....this is precious

The thing is the jury was acting on a very narrow set of charges with very specific rules and the judge made it even more difficult for the prosecuting by not allowing evidence of the broader situation. Because he was acquitted of those 5 counts does not mean he is innocent. I'm curious what lesser charges might have been considered and not acted on.

he killed those people. there’s no argument to be made he broke a law. you are now to the left of chris cuomo, who is saying he didn’t break any laws as written.
you’re right, there’s a very narrow set of circumstances under which you can kill someone and not deserve prison. this was one of those times.
the way your side ( and every single person who ever spoke to you knows what side you’re on) handled this, is going to hurt them. and they absolutely deserve it. they deserve to suffer for what they did to this kid. he was 17. they tried to ruin his life, which was a small price to pay to help improve the chances of beating trump. and they will suffer. ratings will drop on the stations where you get indoctrinated, people
will donate to the gop, polling will
continue to look good for the gop.

since there is no liberal position of “peace through weakness”, that’s means that there’s not a single actual policy issue in which you disagree with liberalism.

“But an acquittal does not make a foolish man a hero. A political movement that turns a deadly and ineffective vigilante into a role model is a movement that is courting more violence and encouraging more young men to recklessly brandish weapons in dangerous places, and that will spill more blood in America’s streets.”

yes the entire gop is telling 17 year olds everywhere to charge into riots with ar-15s. that’s what we’re all saying.
and no prominent democrats did anything to support the violent rioters hat whole summer wayne?
you have no problem with riots that resulted in actual murders, god knows how many billions in property damage, with sometimes explicit encouragement from prominent democrats. chris cuomo said on national tv, “show me where it says protests have to be peaceful?”. ( hey dummy, it says exactly that in every criminal code ever written).
none of that concerns you at all.
most republicans aren’t celebrating what rittenhouse did ( defending it, isn’t celebrating it). what we are celebrating, is the relief we felt at knowing that our system of justice stood up to your sides baseless, horribly dishonest, liberal bloodlust aimed at a child.

any way, points a gun at your face from 5 feet away, and that’s not self defense? we have to have that conversation? seriously?
a guy who says “i’m going to kill you” and tries to wrestle your gun away from you, and you’ve done absolutely nothing to that guy, and that’s not a threat wayne?
what bothers me is the guy with the skateboard. he may have actually thought he was trying to subdue a murderer. his motives may have been decent. but when you look at it from rittenhouses perspective, it’s still clearly self defense.
that’s why riots are bad, and encouraging rioters for political gain, is also dangerous.

wdmso 11-22-2021, 11:06 AM yes the entire gop is telling 17 year olds everywhere to charge into riots with ar-15s. that’s what we’re all saying.
and no prominent democrats did anything to support the violent rioters hat whole summer wayne?
you have no problem with riots that resulted in actual murders, god knows how many billions in property damage, with sometimes explicit encouragement from prominent democrats. chris cuomo said on national tv, “show me where it says protests have to be peaceful?”. ( hey dummy, it says exactly that in every criminal code ever written).
none of that concerns you at all.
most republicans aren’t celebrating what rittenhouse did ( defending it, isn’t celebrating it). what we are celebrating, is the relief we felt at knowing that our system of justice stood up to your sides baseless, horribly dishonest, liberal bloodlust aimed at a child.

Keep convincing yourself their not celebrating
Gym Jordon I think it's a win for our country. Really
Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina told supporters in a video that “you have a right to defend yourself” and advised them to “be armed, be dangerous and be moral.”
Rittenhouse an instant conservative celebrity. His mother received a standing ovation at a Republican Party dinner last year in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, a month after the shooting.
His own attorney has criticised Republican lawmakers he has accused of trying to capitalise on his client and has called their behaviour “disgusting”.

so you’re best zinger comeback is:
“if the facts were different, I bet you wouldn’t like the outcome!”
i’m not saying there aren’t serious racial inequalities in the criminal
justice system ( and guess who advocated for criminal justice reform which blacks have been begging for, for decades? did obama
do it when his side controlled the legislature? or was it trump?).
the solution, isnt to
increase the wrongful convictions of whites.
this case never should have some to trial, like everything else that’s happened lately it’s completely blown up in the liberals faces. and your side hasn’t begun to pay yet. f this vehicular rampage is believed to be retaliation for Rittenhouse ( no evidence of that, but it’s a heck of a coincidence, and you don’t aim for people if you’re fleeing a prior crime scene) the rights reaction will be volcanic.

This party is disintegrating before our eyes. The nation sees gas prices, inflation, crime, open borders, liberals lying about a 17 year old kid in am attempt to literally ruin his life for political gain, liberals making EVERYTHING about race, liberal prosecutors giving $1,000 bail to a guy who ran over his girlfriend so he can subsequently kill 6 people including a child, the Afghanistan exit, democrats unable to do anything despite controlling the entire federal government, liberals more concerned about how we label "looting" than they are concerned with stopping it, liberals attacking police, liberals telling white kids they should feel guilty, liberals telling parents they aren't qualified to have a say in the education of their children, a liberal president with obvious dementia and a liberal vice president who is an obvious moron even by "Sweathog" standards.
If the woke progressives keep this up, we can get Sean Hannity elected mayor of San Francisco next year.
Who is advising the people who run this party? Aside from Bill Maher and James Carville, I don't think any of them see they have a problem. Clueless.

Cash bail is one of the bigger drivers of recividism, Sam gets arrested for a petty theft committed because he’s broke or nearly so. Can’t post bail, loses his job.
When he gets out he’s broke, homeless and jobless.
Wonder what his choices are?
Police get called for a welfare check, autistic person they are checking on freaks, untrained cops freak, someone ends up dead.
Defunding was an unfortunate choice of words, changing the role of police is supported by police.
For profit prisons have zero incentive to reduce recidivism, who’s going to reduce their customer base. We imprison far more people than other developed countries, is that because Americans are more likely to commit crimes?
But be very afraid, because someone has found an extreme example and presented it as the norm.

i don’t disagree that there’s a downside to cash bail, and that the downside effects poor people.
but there are other scenarios in addition to poor Sam there.
this guy in Wisconsin didn’t get $1,000 bail for petty theft. First, he ran over a woman with his truck. Second, he had an active warrant for him in Nevada for skipping bail
there in a sex crime.
that’s what angers americans. obviously setting bail isn’t an exact science, and obviously no one has a crystal ball.
but you’d have to be an idiot to give $1,000 bail
to this guy, in that situation. the optics could not be worse for democrats. the milwaukee states attorney is an avowed progressive, who is on record saying that people
he lets go will at some point kill someone else, but that doesn’t devalue the idea of leniency. boy oh boy was he right about that.
naturally you posted one scenario about a non violent guy. just stealing diapers and baby formula. Sam probably left an apology note too.
that scenario needs to be discussed pete, but so does the other extreme.
this is just the latest in a string of complete disasters for this ad
inistration, one after the other after the other after the other. a never ending conga line of embarrassment.
biden saying the rittenhouse jury spoke and that’s that. than an hour later he switches gears and says he’s angry. a president can’t do that. he is oo weak to not to it.

If I were to attempt a guess, I would suppose it takes time to develop new strategies to changing circumstances. As those strategies seem to succeed, they proliferate over time. Until it becomes an obvious crisis and authorities react with new laws and greater enforcement. There seems to have been a confluence of loosening restrictions and cutting law enforcement. With the obvious results. So regulations and enforcement may change in another or previous direction.

Or maybe just like the cost of everything over time, it becomes ineffective to enforce laws for minor transgressions that cost $5K to prosecute for a $500 crime.

I don't think it's so much that enforcing laws for minor transgression becomes ineffective, it's more a budget allocation thing. Which causes resentment in the community because government is deemed to cater to what and where it is more profitable. In that scenario, poorer sections are plagued more by "minor" transgressions because in the areas where the source of government funding is located, it is more financially rewarding to be more scrupulous about prosecuting ticky-tack crimes.
In my opinion, tending to the "minor" crimes as well as the major ones, can curb the growth of the bigger crimes. Letting the little ones go can be like letting a little cancer grow.
Comparing the IRS to local law enforcement is unfair. The federal government, in effect, has fairly unlimited funding. But it, too, no matter how much it tries to convince us differently, depends on the places that produce wealth. It can pretend to look after poor folks by passing nice sounding legislation and spreading sops into poor communities, or throwing big sums of money there which mostly goes to administration than to the people.
