What is?

Nope the courts said no such thing...you did..

What did the courts say Rittenhouse did wrong? I don't remember them saying that he did anything wrong. They let him go and found him not guilty. Am I wrong?

That's nowhere near the same as endorsing his actions...

If you don't penalize him for anything how is that not condoning all of his actions? He faced no repercussions for his actions that night. In fact he got rich and famous.

He got penalized...you don't take a life without it affecting you...

Really? He will be rich if the rest of his life if he is smart with his money. He could give two fukks about the three people that he shot. Has he ever shown any remorse?

People deal with traumatic things differently...like wildly differently...you can't know how he feels...I do know from the people I've known that for one reason or another had to make that choice...none of them were the same after taking a life...they arent the same as before pulling the trigger...some are remorseful...some feel they did what they had too...but none of them want to go through that again...

I told you that I went through life threatening situations and you pretty much called me a liar and refused proof when I offered it. You also never apologized for telling me that you didn't believe me.

When he was approaching the cops nobody was around him at all. If his unathletic asss didn't trip himself then the he wouldn't have murdered the second guy. The crowd was trying to stop a murderer. You could hear them shouting, "he just shot somebody."

Except he wasn't a murderer as the video shows, he was defending himself. Witnesses testified that Rosenbaum was being "hyper-aggressive" and he'd already threated Rittenhouse before. You chase down a guy with rifle that's running from you and you might get shot. If Huber hadn't attacked Rittenhouse with a skateboard, then he wouldn't have gotten shot. Again, assaulting a person armed with a rifle might not go well. According to Grosskreutz's own testimony he was pointing a gun at Rittenhouse when he got shot.

You're the only one calling him an angel and protector here...

He can't seem to get thru his thick skull...

If he didn't need a gun then why bring one? He got hit in the head by a skateboard and didn't know how to run. Of course he had his arms up approaching the police who had their own guns. He still never told them that he shot three people. He went home like a good little boy. He didn't call the Police after he shot the first guy to death because he got hit with a plastic bag. He was comfortable enough to stop and call his friend. It's a great message to send to all the 12 - 18 year olds out there. Get an AR - 15 and go play cop. If somebody barely threatens you then shoot them over and over until they are dead and then go home. I love that message that this case sends.

You make a great argument, the problem is it's not supported in the least by the facts. It's just some twisted & distorted alternate reality you've created in some misguided attempt to win an argument. Rosenbaum didn't just throw a plastic bag at Rittenhouse. According witnesses Rosenbaum had threatened Rittenhouse and attempted to take his AR. Rittenhouse tried to run away from the guy and resorted to shooting him as a last resort. I notice that you conveniently omitted that Rittenhouse was attempting to leave the scene of a fire he was about to put out when he confronted by Zimmerman who was brandishing a pistol. Had Rosenbaum not charged Rittenhouse as he was disengaging from Zimmerman, none of this would have happened.

Clearly Rittenhouse was trying to avoid shyt, not start shyt as you claim.

It's just protecting your city. Why wouldn't you want your child to be a hero like Rittenhouse?

Because in his misguided attempt to protect a business (that he was invited to), instead of cars being damaged, people ended up dead. Rittenhouse's dream of being a cop - that's gone. Rittenhouse doesn't appear to be wanted on any of the college campuses he's tried to attend.

WTF makes you think I want my child to be like Rittenhouse? When has anybody on here called him a hero?

Yes, he shown remorse numerous times. Most noteably when he broke down on the stand causing the judge to call for a recess.

People have a right to defend business while armed while your gov is letting criminals destroy the city. Like the rooftop Koreans from LA. The notion you can’t walk on the street with a rifle is anti-American.

I think he was open to video evidence...

That would be another flip-flop.
When presented with video of the Trump Rally and the insurrection on 6 January, he refused to accept that they happened because he wasn’t an eyewitness.

Their OWN business. Kyle was neither asked nor hired to “defend a business”.
Regardless, it’s not legal in almost every state to use lethal force to defend property.

If you walk the street with a rifle and shoot someone, you’d better be sure it was to prevent deadly harm to yourself or another person.
This ain’t the wild West like the movies portray.
