Not really.
If a 17 year old black kid is running around in the middle of the night with a rifle and if he got in trouble people would be questioning his up bringing.
I know that when I first read about this story, I wondered why his parents, and friends let him out with a rifle,
Sorry, but if one of my sons were going to do that I would have tried to stop him.

Why are you so stupid?

It is the local government's fault for not maintaining law and order and protecting its law abiding citizens. I think everyone agrees it would be best to not need this type of "security" but what else can you do when the government is willingly let criminals destroy your lives?

murder
It is funny how the guy who was constantly retreating until he was literally physically attacked and had to defend himself to save his own life would be called a murderer.

are you pissed at the thousands of protest rioting and destorying businesses? YES
do you take issue with their parents? Not all, just the young people.

how about the DA that releases these turds after they set something on fire or threw objects at police? They aren’t doing there job, and need to be removed from office.
where is your head? Under my cap?

A lot of people did ask that question. Then it was slowly revealed he was putting out fires and administering first aid to injured people and that rifle was just in case some overt aggressive a-hole tried to throw a Molotov cocktail at him, or bash his head in with a skate board, or shoot him with a pistol.
I know all of these possibilities are extremely unlikely. So unlikely he probably shouldn’t have even had protection on him

And if it was found he was doing exactly what this kid was doing he’d be championed as a hero

You realize many a young and brave man below 18 fought for Dixie right ?

I was not aware that the business owner had provided him with the rifle. It is apparent to me he knew how to handle it despite the intensity of the situation. That’s damn impressive and I bet he’s spent plenty of time at the range somewhere.

Rittenhouse performed well and is a hero. Parents and business owner were right to trust him.
OP is a fig.

I haven’t read every post about what happened, or watched all the videos, but I have a rough idea of what happened.
He went to help his friend protect his business from rioting and looting. He manned his post until he saw protesters that needed first aid. He left his post to render first aid to those who were threatening his friends business and put himself at risk. He was chased and fired upon and was forced to defend himself by firing on a mob chasing him.
In a purely military sense, he did a crappy job. He left his post, he wasn’t protecting his friend, he aided the enemy, and put himself in harms way.
And you say he was a hero and he was trustworthy? I see him as a young guy, a guy who wanted to help his friend, but a guy who took his eye off the ball and is lucky to be alive.

Eat a dick you America hating commie.
Nit pick all the details surrounding Kyle the Kid you want, he did nothing wrong.
Why not ask where one of the felons who attacked him illegally obtained his gun? Why not ask why the 3 attacked him in the first place? Spoiler alert: It was because he put out the literal dumpster fire they started moments before.
Kyle deserves a medal.

I'm with you on this. Attempting to prosecute the kid as an adult is a mistake, the DA should be focusing on the manipulative adult who placed a minor in harm's way.
As to someone's question about E-1s, a 17 year old may enlist, with parental permission, but may not take a direct part in any hostilities per the Child Soldier Treaty. Question for the recruiter/MEPS types out there: Can a 17 year old enlist as an MP, or do they have to be 18+?
His was being attacked be a mob of marxist agitators. American citizens are not obligated to cower in their basements. He had as much right to be there as the marxists did.

Except the the first ball was to administer first aid and the second ball was to protect property priority number two.
He help extinguish a dumpster fire and applied first aid. Not his fault a bunch of raving lunatics didn’t like that and chased him down.

Very few on this board are able to see past "if you aren't with me, then you're against me." The cognitive ability just isn't there.

He set out with a rifle to protect his friend from raving lunatics and then got distracted. He left his post to put out fires and administer first aid. Fine. But that was not the objective was if?

He's a kid, not a soldier.

As I stated earlier in another thread. His lawyer is arguing he was legal due to the second amendment. No state law can proceed the constitution. I am very intrigued by this situation.
