    Why? Doesn’t America have a high enough firearm mortality rate?

    If there is a better source, then why don't you present it instead of making meaningless comments?

    Yes it does but most of them are gang members killing other gang members.

    In this case Kyle defended himself against an attacking child rapist pedophile, that seems medal worthy to me..

    No, have seen the video. They chased him after he shot the first guy. The one who was shot in the arm actually ran with him with his cell phone and talked to him, which is a strange way if trying to kill someone.

    Why not wait and see how the evidence is presented and how the arguments are made instead of declaring the outcome today?

    That remains to be seen.

    I don't get it that people here are so emotional about it. He is at the mercy of the legal system, so the outcome will be what it is.

    Ok, so someone in the crowd said something, and that justifies him to kill someone else....?

    The guy that got shot in the arm lied to police about not having a gun on him when he got to Rittenhouse which video disproves and shortly after it happened commented he should have shot him in the head.

    So its ok for Kyle to have a gun and shoot people, but no one else should have had one.........all righty then. Let's face it, these kinds of things happen when people run around with guns. Would be better if people duked it out with their fists, but I guess that's not the American way. I am pro 2A, but people carrying AR15s in a riot is just asking for something like this to happen.

    I think this will be an interesting and entertaining court case, and the outcome is what it is (as was the one with the cop who killed Floyd). I don't see the point of getting all emotional about it. If they rule that Kyle acted in self defense, then so be it. IMO he will end up in prison, but I could be wrong.

    thats not true at all, there is video of Kyle running with the mob behind him, the only person who was close to him running down the street hit him in the head while he was running, and a second after that he fell to the ground. At no point was Grosskreutz running with him having a conversation


    yes, when the mob is calling for your murder and they then attack you, thats called self defense

    Yes, there is. You'll probably end up seeing it too if you follow the case. In the video you can hear Kyle saying "I just killed a guy".

    I have seen all the videos and Kyle said that after he shot the pedophile, he called somone on his phone and said that. He was currently alone when he said that.. Grosskreutz was never running with him having a conversation

    And what would be the ultimate outcome if Rittenhouse is not convicted?

    He was being chased when he shot and killed the FIRST one. They did not BEGIN chasing him after that.

    No, he was doing his death-dance at the car lot with the 1st guy, and after he shot him, he fled the scene and the others started running after him. You'll see if you follow the case. Enjoy the show. It will be interesting.

    The outcome if he is not convicted is that the legal system has worked, he has the right to self defense and this is clearly a case of self defense

    Wrong when he shot that first guy he was aleady being chased. The shooting caused the pursueing crowd to momentarily lose their stomach for the chase but it then continued.

    The ultimate outcome would be knowing our system of justice still works as it should and political witch hunts do not always work.

    There were hundreds of people there, so why did they chase Kyle, and no one else? There was a very simple reason for it. They chased him because he killed someone and was fleeing the scene. No one else killed anyone, which is why no one else was chased.

    No, that is not what happened, but assuming it did, then ask yourself why they chose to chase him and not others considering there were hundreds of people around to chase.

    Try to think critically. The evidence will be presented, and we will learn every detail (even thought I have already seen the videos).

    Once again you ignore what the video proves beyond question which is that they were ALREADY chasing him before he shot anyone.

    Yes igt is what happenes and the video proves it.

    you dont need to speculate. they told you why they where chasing him.. it was to kill him. they literally said that in the video and Grosskreutz confirmed that after the fact saying he wished he was faster and unloaded his whole clip into him.
