Yep, the Dem idea of rule of law has come so far in just a few months.  Ain't it jus wunnerful?  NOT!!

Don't think he is a racist but I do think he's a murderer who went there to kill...  This genius gives gun owners a bad name and the media loves this to divide the extremist s on the left and right.

Don't forget that at the time this incident happened, Rittenhouse was only 17 years old.

I dislike that the Judge gave them the possibility of lesser charges.  He will likely get something out of fear of the jurors.

the brilliant people here were the "protesters", even bringing a skateboard to a gun fight.  pointing a pistol at someone that has a rifle.  I wish there were more 'kids' with the guts to stand against the other 'kids' that cause mayhem, especially when the police stand down and let it happen.  The police chief and mayor should be the ones on trial!!

I think this was a very poorly put together case with an almost impossible to prove premise, being that he went there with the intention of creating a situation where he would have to shoot people.

I think he and his mother were incredibly negligent, and perhaps we'll see different charges leveled against them for the decisions they made. I'm also awestruck at the odds that on that very same day, Rausenbaum would be released from the hospital after his attempted suicide and end up confronting Rittenhouse. If the two had never met I doubt anyone would have died that day.

Agreed. But it's all posturing and virtue signaling. The media only cares about racism and social injustices when there's a Republican in office. This will probably blow over in a single news cycle.

I don't think untrained 17 year olds should be squaring off with angry mobs. I agree that had the police been there there might have only been one death at most, most likely none.

Spru, when I was 17, I was invincible. Well, you know what I mean. I really didn't have much common sense even into my 20s.  What I'm trying to say is that I went for the adventure risky or not, relying on my wits to keep me out of trouble.  Luckily I've not wrecked a car, spent time in jail, or got killed.
I admire the guy for standing up against evil.  There should be more of him, and less of 'them'.
