He killed two people, shot another, and one of them was armed with a scary plastic bottle.He shouldn't have been there, the whole situation and everyone on every side was stupid that day. This is what happens when you put an irresponsible kid out there with a long rifle in a heated emotional environment.
The kid's life is ruined either way because of these actions, and he has to live with killing two people, justified or not, because of stupidity.
The people he killed were trying to kill him. In both instances, he was fleeing a pursuer and only opened fire when no other option was available. The first time he got cornered. The second time he was knocked to the ground after a blow to the back of the head, with an angry mob descending on him and one even brandishing s gun.
Given the situation, Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong.
One guy threw a bottle and ran at him. If you think that's a good reason for execution, well, you do you. I however don't think so. Again, everyone in that situation was stupid. If they had all stayed home, some windows would have been ruined instead of 4 people's lives.
What the fuck did this scenario do besides polarize people even more than they already are?
Well, let's look at it from another point of view. If you were to charge someone unarmed do you believe the appropriate use of force is to kill the charging person?
And again, as I said, everyone involved was stupid and everyone involved lost that day. There were no fucking winners. Pure, unadultered backwater American gung ho stupidity.
The State does not have a duty to retreat, which means anyone who would run you down is liable to get shot, legally speaking. Also, the first perp was trying to steal his gun. His ladt recorded words were also, and I quote, "Shoot me Nigger!"

A sad situation any way you look at it.

I too support the right to attack anyone with no consequences. It's only common sense.

The same time he threw the bottle, another guy fired his pistol into the air.
Rittenhouse should have a statue put up in his honor.
It's pretty far gone to celebrate a tragic event like this. Sigh.
