I have to admit when I saw him in there responding I thought the same thing.From the serial killer thread. My guess is that he went missing because he squelched on a bet.

Horrible.....and really funnyFrom the serial killer thread. My guess is that he went missing because he squelched on a bet.
Yeah kind of sad seeing all those old names.Lots of old posters from yesteryear in there
Looks like the OP was here in late 2020. Another infamous guy in that thread I spotted. Not to derail this thread but on people I don't miss, we have these final words:Lots of old posters from yesteryear in there
He met them there where they were singing to him and buying him beers. I’m sure someone will explain this all as some media issue and not Rittenhouse’s issue.

You are the man! Thank you. Now I have an excuse to stop watching this awful game.
Right, the OP though did come back in late 2020. Our old chum CSTU bailed after that last gasp in 2019. I didn't word that post well.CSRU isnt the OP in that thread
weak men who are used to taking beatings, IMO.I dont understand how anybody can watch any of those videos and think Rittenhouse should have just taken his beating.
The whole thing is definitely a mess.More of a human being/teenager issue.
The world came down on him and has been calling him a murderer for months.... CLEARLY wrongly so. A group took him in and made him their hero. Hard to turn your back when the world is ready to throw you away.
It is shameful that a group like that was able to see through what most of us didn't .... right?
The whole thing is ####ed up... you seem hell bent on making him the bad guy. Sorry - we know he isn't now.

The issue for me is someone heading into this situation with a weapon. It’s bizarre to me that this is legal tbh.
Yes, I think he should have responsibility for taking a weapon into this situation that led to someone getting killed. I don’t know how the legal process works in this regard. He is getting a trial, has a good lawyer, so he’ll get what any of us (with the means) would.
I’m not one of them either. Identity politics is poisonous. And most of America is infected.There aren't many of us left but.. no, not every single person.
You bastards on the right come for me just the same when I cut through your side.
I single out Rittenhouse because he's the one who killed someone. Plenty of other people were guilty of crimes as well.If you think his lawyers have had an impact on this trial I can only assume you haven't been paying attention.
And again (again, again) I have to ask why people want to single out only one of the armed individuals in this incident for taking a weapon into a situation that led to people getting killed.
Seriously - why do you single out one of them? And why only the one that used the weapon in self defense?
This is getting ridiculous.
Jan 6 significance >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kenosha Riots.
This is not something debated in serious circles.
Yes, riots are bad and often extremely violent. They have happened throughout history on multiple occasions in many first world nations for many reasons.
Jan 6? Hasn’t happened in any first world democracy in any of our lifetimes.

I mean, he could have stayed home. Why did a teenager go out into the eye of the storm with a gun and ammo? Anyone here honestly naive enough to believe a kid went out to the riots with his rifle to "keep the peace"?EVERYTHING is tribal these days. Every single person in here condemning Rittenhouse would be singing a different tune if KR was a Liberal who defended himself in a sea of Trump supporters.
Now you are talking about someone who is unhinged.It saw it linked through Rex Chapman’s account.

Things played out exactly as he'd hoped, but is now shedding tears in court claiming to be a misunderstood hero.
Isnt there is video of him saying "Brah, I wish I had my f—ing AR" days prior to him going there?Good lord. This is the most DISGUSTING narrative. I got seven days off for rightfully accusing many on the left for viewing conservatives as animals. This is EXACTLY the kind of post I mean. And this narrative is prevelant in the media and in this forum. This idea that Kyle went there looking to shoot people is sickening. There was not one shred of evidence to suggest that, except for the fact he is not one of those good leftist protestors burning down buildings. Just MAYBE perhaps the real person who was there looking for trouble waa Rosenbaum, you know the guy found guilty on 11 counts of child molesting, for anally raping 5 young boys between the ages 9 and 11. Just MAYBE it was that SOB who was looking for trouble and he would have found it regardless of if Kyle showed up.
These types of themes are total lies but are very prevelant in leftist media and are by far the most disgusting thing in politics today. And I am going to point it out everytime I see this cancer which I sincerely believe is the root of the evil which is driving the political discourse into the toilet.
FTR, I concluded this back on page 1.Maybe, just maybe, we can all conclude that almost everybody involved that night was acting stupidly/recklessly/irresponsibly and conclude that life actually is oftentimes a gray area and there were no definitive "good guys" and "bad guys" that evening...
Now, I actually do agree with Jon that such a conversation is irrelevant to this trial because this trial is solely about whether the state can prove Rittenhouse committed the crimes alleged and did so without justification beyond a reasonable doubt. So, respectfully, i'm not so sure this overaching, circular debate is the most poignant topic for this thread at the moment.

so your saying he indeed did say "’I'd start shooting rounds at them?" if he had his AK prior to going there? Then went there with his AK and shot people? Maybe not be allowed in court but this "disgusting narrative" did not come from nowhere. It came from Kyle.And the judge ruled that is nothing like what happened here and pointed out the vast difference between someone talking tough about it and actually doing it. So yeah, it is pathetic bs.

There's plenty of video of Rosenbaum hours before he died yelling at anyone and everyone calling them the N word and getting into people's faces. The guy was looking for someone to attack him so his buddy could shoot them. They wanted to kill someone that night.Isnt there is video of him saying "Brah, I wish I had my f—ing AR" days prior to him going there?

Except this wasn’t a video game this was real life. You can’t dispute that he said he would bring his Ak and shoot people and then he did.Millions of kids play video games. Only a handful actually act it out. Bottom line, Kyle was being chased and hunted down and ran every chance he could a b d only shot at the very last second. That is NOT someone looking to shoot people. The argue.ent is so frigging stupid and bigoted.
True Rosenbaum was looking to stir #### up. Did he say he wanted to kill people? Using the n word and being loud is very different from saying you want to bring a weapon and shoot people and then doing that exact same thing. Also Rosenbaum is not on trial here.There's plenty of video of Rosenbaum hours before he died yelling at anyone and everyone calling them the N word and getting into people's faces.

He doesn't have an AK. And the video in question wasn't taken right before he went and did it.Except this wasn’t a video game this was real life. You can’t dispute that he said he would bring his Ak and shoot people and then he did.
Yes. Rosenbaum said "i'll kill you n***" to several people that night. Plenty of video documenting that. This is also what Kyle and several eye witnesses heard him saying as he chased Kyle.True Rosenbaum was looking to stir #### up. Did he say he wanted to kill people?

And this is why the police decided to let them vent and not engage. Kyle not being trained and being a kid decided to be arbitrator. Bad decision. You would be ok with your child going out there in the manner he did?Yes. Rosenbaum said "i'll kill you n***" to several people that night. Plenty of video documenting that.

The police letting people riot is why random citizens took up arms to protect.

let the business owners protect their stuff. If he owned the business different story. He’s as bad and worse than rioters who drive from out of town to go instigate peaceful protests.
Also how is this bigoted?![]()
There are currently no legal restrictions to taking a firearm into "situations" like this. I get your concern for it, but the problem is law abiding citizens have the right to self-defense.... ESPECIALLY in situations where you have armed unhinged felons participating in attempted mob attacks.The whole thing is definitely a mess.

It is possible to condemn both actions. Not all posts have to be KR vs. Rosenbaum. Not all posts have to be Rittenhouse vs. rioters. People can think that all the people involved - rioters, Rosenbaum, Rittenhouse share in this, have no business doing what they were doing, and should be punished.There's plenty of video of Rosenbaum hours before he died yelling at anyone and everyone calling them the N word and getting into people's faces. The guy was looking for someone to attack him so his buddy could shoot them. They wanted to kill someone that night.
It's possible to not like him because he decided to take a weapon to the riots and ended up shooting a few people. I care not what his political affiliation is, but like I said earlier, it's probably not hard to infer his leanings (and the leanings of people for and against KR). Also, it's possible to not like him AND not like the people rioting and destroying property.BiGOT: a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
Kyle is hated and is the villian because he is seen as part of this conservative group. Had he been on the side of the protesters, the hatred projected towards Kyle would not exist. That is the very definition of being a bigot.
Rosenbaum DID bring a weapon. Skateboards are commonly used as weapons and have been classified as deadly weapons in murderer / attempted murder trials in the past. Anyone arguing he didn't intend for it to be a weapon is being kinda silly since he, you know, used it as a weapon.True Rosenbaum was looking to stir #### up. Did he say he wanted to kill people?

oh so he lived in that community? he was a professional security officer or police officer assigned to that community? If not why was a person who you agree claimed he wanted to go there after seeing it on tv and shoot people even there? Just like any rioters, he should not have been there.The police letting people riot is why random citizens took up arms to protect. Kyle was not the only person there that night armed to protect people and property.
And again, no he was not an instigator. This narrative made up by the media that Kyle is some rando from far away is the only thing you have left despite it being disproven over and over. The bottom line is Kyle had more right to be there than the rioters. Had they not attacked him, they would not be dead.

Don't know how I missed this one too.
oh im not ignoring this at all. Rosenbaum was a mess. And as ive said before, i agree with what you just said. He isnt innocent of bad decisions he likely is innocent of murder, though there are other charges that i think he likely is guilty of. It would be different if he was protecting his business or home with his weopon. But he wasnt. He went there with intent and bringing the weapon is going to instigate things whether purposeful or not. And that goes for everyone who had a weapon. Ultimately, he should have left this work to the professionals because this is how incidents like his occur. Just because something happened somewhere does not mean i should go there with my weapon to help out. That is completely reckless.Rosenbaum DID bring a weapon.

He was also a mentally ill convicted child rapist running around telling people he was going to kill them. He was JUST released from the hospital after a suicide attempt. Was this an attempt at "suicide by Kyle"? Who knows.
The point is it seems the Anti-Rittenhouse crowd continually seems to ignore these defendents we're ALL armed, one also with a gun, had been violent all night, and were ACTIVELY TRYING TO SERIOUSLY HARM OR KILL KYLE when they got shot.
Kyle isn't innocent of bad decisions, but he's innocent of murder. It's bizzare what tunnel vision some of you have. Literally anything Kyle had done leading up to the event, the rioters had done worse.
Agreed. From what ive seen he shouldnt and wont be convicted of murder. Smaller infractions he should definitely catch to at least teach him not to do this again. The folks in this thread touting as a hero, that is what is disgusting.We have a lot of dumb people in this country. Often enflamed with passion for a cause that they have warped in their minds (and others have helped them warp). The causes aren't necessarily all wrong, but the people in these events are running with the warped versions to the point where they are taking enormous risks that developed minds would not.
This dude was one of them, as were the people killed.
All that means nothing, you have the right in America to believe whatever warped #### you want. What matters is was the law violated. I don't know anything but I think he gets off with maybe some smaller infractions.
So are you denying he didn't say that in a video? I understand 100% that the judge didn't allow it for the trial, but I am not on the jury. I also understand that doesn't prove 100% his intentions the day of - I get it. But you and others seem to be pretending that he wasn't dumb enough to be caught saying that.Sure, there are lots of types of people. The bigots are the hypocrits who hold the Kyle types to different standards. Saying Kyle went there with the intent to shoot people is blatant bigotry based on the facts.
BTW did anyone else shoot someone that evening or was it only Kyle?
