In recent events this Rittenhouse bs has cemented the fact someone was paid off. I’m a gun owner and I don’t believe this kid should’ve gotten off.

The rules are not the same for everyone. It's just becoming more and more apparent to most people

Just curious, how much of this trial was covered where you are at? It never ceases to amaze me how American current events permeate into international media.

everything you guys do is televised to the whole world in detail, except maybe north korea.
the rittenhouse trial was extensively covered in german media for a crime that wasn't domestic. even more shockingly, i see a lot of comments under those articles that agree that rittenhouse is innocent.
often crimes such as this get used by the media to paint america as a worse place to live than europe in my opinion. they often have this tone like "of course it happened again, only in america..." whereas i think that's very hypocritical. shootings happen here, too, and it's not impossible to get a gun or even a rifle if you really want one and don't have a license.
basically german(can't speak for europe as a whole here) media loves it when stuff like this happens because they can drive their point home that we have it real nice here and everything is super fine and we have zero racism. if you don't like it you can fuck off and live and get shot in the us by a black man from the hood if you're white, or a cop if you're black. it's pretty fucked. it's just used to deflect from our own problems and make us feel good about the fact that our right wing terrorists have a bit of a harder time to get weapons, even though we had plenty of right wing terror to worry about in the last years. certainly way more than any sort of left wing violence.

Bummer:

Maybe, we need to write anti-vigilante laws. This whole open carry "good-guy with a gun" "self-defense" nonsense is completely absurd.
And, I'm not surprised the GQP FLordia Congressman who is soon to be on trial for trafficking an underage girl across state lines and paying her and others for sex via public Venmo transactions has offered this kid an internship.
I think the right would change their tune on open carry real quick if we had some Black Panther's showing up armed to protests.
Well, at least the dudes who killed the black jogger are probably pretty fucked. We will just have to see what kind of punishment the judge hands down for that one.

Of course he got off, white Americans care more about property then they do human life.

They should've gone after him for unlawful possession of a weapon or manslaughter or something. He had priors related to firearm possession and just hammering down on that and his recklessness as a gun owner probably would've landed him some kind of time. The prosecutor looked like he was like on week 2 of actually being a lawyer. This while trial was a shit show. I'm trying to move out the country in the next decade. Way too many closet racists and overt idiots in close proximity indoctrinated to this perverted idea of "patriotism" is showing me the average white boy (literally) can get away with murder and be called a hero for it. That's a safety hazard. I'm out.

worst of all the dude is a hero now for all right wingers world wide that wish to get free kills on protesters. he's a legend in their eyes. i see comments under german news articles where people are lamenting they can't do the same to protesters. it's sooo fucked.

same thing here in france, its depressing how similarly terrible mainstream media is accross countries. Based on a PM i received regarding my post I reckon we dont get accurate and neutral information on America at the moment but thats what the media here is throwing around so idk where else to look.

I wonder what the mainstream media spin will be on the pos that plowed though those people at the Christmas parade? They can't possibly pass on this opportunity to push their narrative. My heart goes out to all those people. Sick fucking times we live in.

I live in SE WI, so I followed the case pretty closely. Kid said he wished he could shoot at people he thought were shoplifting 15 days before he shot anyone, then pointed his gun at people on the actual day of the riots. Rosenbaum started chasing him when he pointed his gun at these two people, he fled then slowed down and shot Rosenbaum before he even got near enough to do anything, and the kid said he saw he didn't have a weapon.
People then chased after an active shooter and said shooter shot 2 more people. Kid should be in prison.
They should've gone after him for unlawful possession of a weapon or manslaughter or something. He had priors related to firearm possession and just hammering down on that and his recklessness as a gun owner probably would've landed him some kind of time. The prosecutor looked like he was like on week 2 of actually being a lawyer. This while trial was a shit show. I'm trying to move out the country in the next decade.

That's a safety hazard. I'm out.
They tried to go after him for the gun charge, but our gun laws in WI are stupid and vague, so it got thrown out. Prosecution could have pursued it, but that would have weakened their case because it would sent the message to the jury that that's the only charge they thought they could win on.
The prosecutor did a great job, the judge was just biased as hell. He's been that way for every "self defense" case.

I stayed away from all media this weekend with the Rittenhouse result, so I missed this. My coworker who lives in Waukesha and had actually thought about going to the parade with his kid told me about it. Sounds like the cops fired at him which definitely couldn't have helped the situation. Shit's getting crazy around here.

The prosecutor did a "great job"?
He insisted that invoking the 5th amendment was an admission of guilt
Tried to tie in COD as influential to the shooting
Waved a gun at the jury with his finger on the trigger
(quoting a reddit post)
"Why didn't you just take your gun off and leave it in the street?
Why didn't you fire warning shots? (if you don't know that's reckless endangerment)
Why didn't you just surrender to the mob?"
He said "everyone takes a beating at some point". How fucking stupid is that? People die from taking a beating every day.
Now one of you says that, as the guy who was attacking Rittenhouse was chasing after him, Rittenhouse shot him when he was too far away to do anything? Do you get how dumb that sounds?
"He should have let him get closer so he could have really attacked him and grabbed his gun!"
In what world does any of this make sense? These are all TERRIBLE arguments, but I guess pointing that out makes me a fascist.

I always wonder what people really think is going on when they talk about things like the media “pushing their narrative “. Like, I’ll check the guardian, maybe local outlets online, maybe MSNBC for news. On the subject of the suv driving into the crowd, they seem to be reporting the facts as they come in. Are you seeing some sort of twisting of the story from certain outlets?

Once you start to see the lies and manipulation of the corporate media, it becomes almost impossible to take anything they say at face value. This goes for both left and right. Independent media is the only way forward in my opinion.

I think his point was more that Rittenhouse definitely should've been easily convicted by a competent prosecutor because what he did was so obviously fucked up, but the prosecutor bungled what should have been an easy guilty verdict. I'm not saying I agree, but I do believe that was the original point, not that the prosecution had no argument.

Rittenhouse is 100% a piece of shit, but there was 0 chance of ever getting a murder charge to stick. Not saying that's morally right, but legally, it's slam dunk self-defense. Seeing way too much disinformation on the left out there trying to say otherwise.
The problem is that America's backward-ass gun laws not only allow this to happen, they encourage it. There will be way more Rittenhouses until something changes

The prosecutor did a "great job"?
He insisted that invoking the 5th amendment was an admission of guilt
No, he brought up how it was the first time that Rittenhouse has talked about the issue, the same thing the defense did to Grosskreutz. He never said that was an admission of guilt.
Tried to tie in COD as influential to the shooting
This argument was indeed stupid.
Waved a gun at the jury with his finger on the trigger
This was also stupid, but isn't an attack on his argument, just on him lacking proper gun safety etiquette.
(quoting a reddit post)
"Why didn't you just take your gun off and leave it in the street?
Anything is possible when you lie. He didn't ask that. He asked why he hadn't removed his firearm like he had previously. The intent was to show that Rittenhouse knew he was going somewhere he was very likely to be attacked and went there alone when he knew he shouldn't have been there and had been instructed to stay where he was.
Why didn't you fire warning shots? (if you don't know that's reckless endangerment)
Why didn't you just surrender to the mob?"
He said "everyone takes a beating at some point". How fucking stupid is that? People die from taking a beating every day.
These are just straight up lies. He never asked these questions or anything close to them.
Now one of you says that, as the guy who was attacking Rittenhouse was chasing after him, Rittenhouse shot him when he was too far away to do anything? Do you get how dumb that sounds?
"He should have let him get closer so he could have really attacked him and grabbed his gun!"
He had both hands on his gun. He had it strapped to himself. Have you ever actually worn one of those setups? It's impossible to remove the gun or turn it on the person wielding the gun. There was no way he could have gotten the gun away from him.
With that in mind, you can barrel strike someone. There are a ton of options you can do before you actually are forced to use deadly force. He didn't use any of these options and defaulted to deadly force before he was in any actual danger, danger which would only existed have because he slowed down and turned around. At the minimum that is manslaughter.
In what world does any of this make sense? These are all TERRIBLE arguments, but I guess pointing that out makes me a fascist.
Nice straw man there. Needs a heart though.
-
"Everyone takes a beating at some point" was absolutely a point the prosecutor made. He also asked him why he didn't fire warning shots, which I guess is a grey area of the law, just like his right to carry the gun he was carrying.
So a dude runs up to you with a skateboard, wielding it as a weapon. You know a skateboard is a deadly weapon, right? So if you were in his shoes, would you risk being hit in the head with a skateboard and dying just so it was a fair, hand to hand fight? Or would you shoot the guy who is attacking you?
And I'm sorry I thought you would call me a fascist, it is after all the #1 insult that people on your side of the fence love to throw out at the first sign of opposition. Sort of the left's version of "snowflake"
It's just odd to see some people still saying he crossed state lines with the gun (I don't remember if you said that) when that isn't the case. But people STILL parrot that talking point, even though it is completely, provably false. Doesn't matter though, I guess.
Do you really feel like the prosecutor did a great job?

i didn't conclude or assume shit, i just told you if you make a post like this, even ending it with obvious bait to call you out, then you will get called out in some way. you also kind of punched all over the place, not even addressing certain posters, like you do now. also i have no real opinion about you at all, i don't know you, but you seemed pretty mad about people being frustrated the dude runs free.
i know my english is bad sometimes and i often misunderstand stuff, fair enough, but your reading comprehension sucks, too. and i still don't know what you were actually trying to say. so are you lamenting that, in your opinion, prosecution was actually bad and that people are too dumb to see that? people should be more frustrated that prosecution did a bad job? and less about the outcome of the process? i'm sorry, i really don't get it.
you said you weren't/aren't rooting for rittenhouse, but you defended him when it comes to huber charging him with a skateboard. you definitely (man, thanks, i've been writing that wrong for years, i got it now!) were not rooting for huber in that case. you, too, gave rittenhouse a pass for deadly self defense and denied the same for huber?
i'm not accusing you of shit, i'm just super confused what you are actually trying to say and i probably read it wrong because i'm a dummy with bad english.

I listened to the trial and scrubbed through the transcripts (https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/shared/A7O97pOTyqr5Uhejo4HM7hpXs-vzdMLEc7w5J2_rk4uX-fpGgO6mwaRWXjymKd6V29htasJuffOuGIHHejB299YJJCM?loadFrom=SharedLink) and neither of these were in there.
So a dude runs up to you with a skateboard, wielding it as a weapon. You know a skateboard is a deadly weapon, right? So if you were in his shoes, would you risk being hit in the head with a skateboard and dying just so it was a fair, hand to hand fight? Or would you shoot the guy who is attacking you?
Red herring. The start of the whole thing was Rosenbaum, who had no weapon, chasing Rittenhouse because he was pointing his gun at people who weren't doing anything to him. The guy with the skateboard was trying to stop him after he was already an active shooter.
And I'm sorry I thought you would call me a fascist, it is after all the #1 insult that people on your side of the fence love to throw out at the first sign of opposition. Sort of the left's version of "snowflake"
I don't tend to lump people into groups or use labels inaccurately. I've only used the term to refer to a specific politician when they were being fascist, but that's unrelated to this conversation. You're also assuming where I stand based on this one issue it would seem.
It's just odd to see some people still saying he crossed state lines with the gun (I don't remember if you said that) when that isn't the case. But people STILL parrot that talking point, even though it is completely, provably false. Doesn't matter though, I guess.
Do you really feel like the prosecutor did a great job?
I didn't say he crossed state lines with the gun, I just mentioned that the charge was thrown out because WI gun laws are ambiguous and stupid. This is a message board though, so you don't have to rely on memory. The gun was illegal though, and he should still be charged for straw purchase of a firearm.
As for the job the prosecutor did, yeah, I do feel like he did a good job. He showed that:
- Rittenhouse pointed his gun at people before anyone ever chased him
- He slowed down, turned around, and shot Rosenbaum before he ever posed any serious threat, and didn't use any non-lethal methods before going to deadly force. On top of this, there's no way his gun could have been taken
- He did not stop and try to see if he could aid Rosenbaum after he had neutralized him as a threat
- He ran and told people he hadn't shot anyone
- He shot people who were trying to stop him as he was currently an active shooter
- Grosskreutz had put his hands up to surrender upon seeing that Huber had been shot
- Rittenhouse did not accept his surrender and had tried to shoot him after he had his hands up and the gun jammed, leading to him re-racking it
- Seeing he didn't accept his surrender, Grosskreutz started lowering his gun and got shot in the bicep
It wasn't self defense at any point within this. I fully support self defense, but that simply wasn't the case here in any of the situations save maybe Huber, but seeing as he had shot someone he didn't need to already, that's a pretty weak case for self defense.

Loki, did you listen to the trial vs. watch it? If so, maybe listening was a different experience than watching, because you may want to revisit Kraus’s closing statements. Some pertinent info in there for you…
I’ll let bbfj reply, but I’ll point out that Kraus also spent a considerable amount of time on Nathan DeBruin’s testimony about Binger asking him to change his statement because Kraus was aware of the legal implications of a prosecutor pressuring a witness to change their statement. DeBruin was so rattled by the experience that he immediately hired a lawyer after the meeting. Kraus actually said “Do you remember that I complimented you on your photography?” later to try to mitigate the damage.
And by watching the trial, this image of Kraus doing a face palm when Grosskreutz testified that Rittenhouse only fired when GG’s gun was pointed at his head would make a lot more sense.

Additionally we now know based on the paperwork for the acquittals that 11 of the jurors were ready to acquit on day 1 of deliberations (they have to sign and date the statements), while there was only 1 holdout. I’d say that, plus acquittals on all counts, is a decidedly bad job by the prosecution.
Im not going to get into the rest of your comments, but there’s a number of omissions and mischaracterizations in there.
Oh, and Frank, I’m just an autist who likes facts. No need to make any assumptions about my character or reasons for posting.

I don't want to simplify this too much, but I think the bottom line is that this kid should not have been there. It's a complete cluster fuck that could easily have been avoided by him not getting involved.

i can accept that the (hamstrung) prosecution did a poor job and thus he got off OJ style, but seeing him celebrated by mainstream politicians is next level depressing
