Maybe he just wasn't a pussy. You probably can't understand.Rittenhouse went there with a group that had the stated intentions of helping people. His actions from what we have seen on video, support that as their actual intentions.
Really?
What group was that?
See, because I recall that members of the group he claimed to be with said they didn't know him...
When he was attacked he defended himself with restraint and skill, while in grave danger.
He stupidly put himself into a situation where he simply had no business being...
Considering that heroic is completely reasonable.
His actions weren't heroic at all. They were stupid...
Whether he was or wasn't a pussy is immaterial in this discussion.
The irrefutable fact is that he crossed state lines in order to illegally obtain a firearm, and he then used that firearm to kill two people.
Those are facts. That's exactly what happened...
The way you insist on leaving out the part where he was attacked by a violent mob?
If you were confident of your position, you would not do that.
I'm quite confident of my position.
The fact that a "violent mob" was chasing him will not absolve him of illegally obtaining a firearm and then using that illegal firearm to kill two people while violating a city-wide curfew...
killing those two people amounts to self defense,, the rest is a misdemeanor,,,
Conspiring to illegally obtain a firearm is a felony...
While attacking a minor with intent to commit grave bodily harm, is nothing, not worth even mentioning.
Oh, but there's no "minor" here. If he's extradited to Wisconsin, which looks to be the case, he's going to be tried as an adult...
Very good compartmentalization you have going on there.
You argue that at 17, he is really an adult, ready to face the full responsibility of his crimes, which are only crimes because he is a child....
No, they're crimes because of the fact that he conspired with another to obtain an illegal weapon.
And I'm not making the argument that, at 17, he's an adult. The state of Wisconsin is saying that. That's why he's fighting extradition to Wisconsin. If he goes to trial there, he is truly fucked...
IF htey are charging him with illegally having the weapon and thus losing the right to self defense, which is my understanding, then they are saying he is both a minor and an adult.
You certainly seem to be supporting their reasoning. Have I misunderstood you?
More than once...
