What is?

Please don't talk about my upbringing which means my parents.

I wasn't pointing to your parents man...it was poorly worded...I was talking more along the lines of where and around what kind of people...I don't believe any decent person would teach their kid to like that...

I apologize if you think I was taking that dig at you...

How is it understandable? Please answer me that. It's leaving the scene of somebody who you just killed. Self defense or not.

Seriously, you cannot understand why he left the scene? He was under siege, attacked, somebody pointed a gun at him, when he first attempted to turn himself in he was ordered to "go home."

Is this like not understanding why people are against children attending drag queen burlesque shows at public business?

Why would I wanna kill people, even if I had nothing to lose by doing so?...even as I teen I didn't like putting hands on people...causing harm for no reason but personal gain (money, pride, whatever) is nothing that has ever interested me...if you put me a position where i feel the need to defend myself and theres no getting out of it...that's a whole other ballgame...

Kyle put himself in the position.
Anyone who has a clue in owning a gun (pistol, rifle, shotgun, etc.) knows that the best thing to do is avoid the fight. Kyle is a wannabe cop who went and voluntarily put himself in the thick of it.
No one hired him. no one asked him.
How many of his Kenosha-based family members were out protecting a used car lot?

The big picture is that he did the wrong thing, even if the law absolves him of guilt. if not now, he will eventually understand that three people are dead at his hand. Three people who may have lived to a ripe old age if not for his trying to play policeman.
If it doesn't weigh heavily on his conscience now or ever, then he is a sociopath.

He wasn't found innocent. Just like OJ. He was found not guilty just like OJ. Do you think he's an angel and didn't do anything wrong that night? Would you send your 17 year old down there with an AR-15 surrounded by adult protesters?

Spokey has never implied that Rittenhouse is an angel. Kyle shouldn't have been there, his mom shouldn't have let him go, he should have acquired an assault rifle. That doesn't make him guilty or a murderer. That makes him a person who made some bad choices, combined with some bad choices by the politicians in control, bad choices by the protesters, by the media, etc.

I understand that he was found not guilty by reasonable doubt. I still think that he was guilty of something that night. If not then that sends a message to all parents out there to arm their kids with AR - 15's and tell them to shoot anybody who even raises their hands at them. I think this sends a message to all 17 year olds to go play cop with an AR - 15 at any protest. If I was 17 right now I would want an AR - 15 in my trunk in case anybody threatened me. I would just shoot them and claim that is what Kyle Rittenhouse did. Why can he do it but I can't? Do you not see my point? Is this a good message to send to all 12 - 18 year olds?

Raises their hands at him??? Somebody raised a gun at Rittenhouse. He was hit in the back of the head with a skateboard twice. They were shouting "Get him." Rosenbaum had threatened him earlier. 16 shots were fired during the time Rittenhouse was defending himself. When he attempted to turn himself in to police with the crowd shouting "Dude just shot him!!!" he was turned away. Just about every claim you've made about this incident is inaccurate or wrong.

Nobody here has claimed this is a good message to send to kids or even adults. Furthermore, regardless of the fact that Rittenhouse was found not guilty (because the video evidence overwhelming exonerates him), I would hope people are smart to see that lesson to be learned from this incident is there is no reason go play hero, leave the situation to the police and our civic leaders even if they're doing a shitty job.

BTW, I notice no mention of how Kyle brought his first aid kit and treated protesters, no mention of how he didn't wear his bullet proof vest because he assumed he wasn't going to be in a gun fight. No mention of him approaching the police arms in the air to turn himself in. Half the facts leads to half a$$ed conclusions. Half the facts and bunch of distorted and completely incorrect facts leads to looking foolish.

Why the Kyle Rittenhouse 'not guilty' verdict is not a surprise to legal experts

Prosecutors had argued that Rittenhouse was responsible for the deadly peril that night. But legal experts said his claim of self-defense was strong from the beginning.

And why would the Rittenhouse case stop rather than promote teenagers to do the same thing that he did? He got to run around with an AR - 15 and shoot anybody who threatened him. If I was a teenager these days I would be asking for a straw purchased AR - 15. I would talk shitt to everybody and then shoot them if they attempted to beat me up. Why not? Kyle did it and now he is rich and never has to work an honest day in his life. I hope he quits beating up women.

If you cherry pick thru the Rittenhouse incident just right, twist and distort enough facts, and throw in some complete false BS, I suppose you could conclude that it's time to go an AR and start some shyt and shoot some people. Kinda like if cherry pick through the evidence, twist and distort reality, and toss in some totally inaccurate "facts," one might conclude that Rittenhouse is guilty of murder, that Rittenhouse went do Kenosha looking to start shyt and put lead into people. Those are conclusions one could reach, but they stand in stark contrast to the actual facts and evidence.

But they weren't the ones looking to start shyt, it was Rittenhouse. Ignore what the witnesses said in court...

Your point? It’s up to Kyle Rittenhouse to be judge, jury and executioner?
I suppose you should be eliminated for smacking women around? You know, domestic assault, and all…

Sure they were.

You were there and witnessed it first hand?

Watch the videos...there's plenty...nothing shows Rittenhouse to be the aggressor...
