If it meets the standards for self defense, and this seems to by every metric, then it's not a crime.he didnt take a gun across state lines and he worked in that city 20 miles away,,yet to be determined he was carrying illegal,,,Rittenhousewho did that??You said you're not okay with vigilantism or violence; if this shit keeps up, you will get a lot more of both.irrelevant.Better get used to them both.wrong againThe irony there that you’re ok with them being vigilanties but not for Kyle? Hmm you are officially demofk!he was running away because people saw him kill a man and those people were chasing him to stop him from killing anyone else
I'm not Ok with violence or vigilantism
You seem to be though since you think it's OK to violate gun laws.
I merely stated a fact and did not indicate whatsoever that I supported the people who chased Rittenhouse.
The fact is the primary cause of this incident was Rittenhouse breaking WI gun laws.
He added to the problem.
From the link;The Future of American Policing
Written by: Greg Ellifritz I had two different friends send me messages last weekend requesting my thoughts on what policing is going to look like in the future. I thought about it quitewww.activeresponsetraining.net
"Fewer and fewer people will want to be cops. That will further lower hiring and training standards. Tax revenue losses and “defunding efforts” will drive salaries down and make working conditions more difficult. The only folks who will become cops in the future are those people who have no other career options.
As more and more low quality candidates are hired, public trust for the police will further erode. The police will become continually more corrupt and inept until they are almost useless.
The really good cops (and a lot of former soldiers) will move on to better paying private security positions. The rich will hire those security people as bodyguards and neighborhood patrols.
The middle class and poor well have to contend with the corrupt police system or take care of things themselves (either by vigilante or gang action.)
This is essentially how it works in many third world countries. I have lots of experience traveling in Peru, so I’ll use the capital city of Lima as an example.
In the most affluent neighborhoods you don’t see many cops. But there are professional armed security guards at all banks, many public businesses and on roving patrol in marked vehicles in the neighborhood at night.
In the poorer neighborhoods, you don’t see many cops either. They’ll respond to something serious, but don’t expect them to investigate some kind of minor property crime without a significant bribe.
View attachment 385575
Most of the lower class residents ignore any petty criminal stuff. They band up with family or friends to handle any serious business. Sometimes the residents will pay the local criminal gangs to take care of such problems instead if they have some extra cash. The bad guy gets beaten or taken out. The cops don’t work hard to find the perpetrators of these crimes because they know exactly what is happening."
And rittenhouse was not protecting his family or his property he was playing soldier while breaking the law.
There is no comparison with law abiding gun owners defending their homes to what Rittenhouse did.
Defending your own home is not vigilantism
Taking a gun out of state carrying that gun illegally and shooting people is vigilantism
see the difference?
try and stay on topic,,
pay attention
and he didnt just shoot someone,,he defended himself from attackers,,,
lying about the facts doesnt help your narrative,,
He lives in Illinois
He took a rifle across state lines and carried it illegally in WI
Why don't you learn the facts instead of making shit up?
And he was breaking the law. IF he was a law abiding gun owner he would not have put himself in the position where he had to kill anyone.
You can't claim self defense in the commission of a crime.
