Yea, I understand that. But, it seems crazy if that's the only thing that sticks. I agree that seems to potentially be a sticking point. But, convicting someone for a crime against someone who did not complain to the police about it and seems more or less agreeable that using the firearm for self defense was appropriate in that situation.
They didn't charge him for carrying a concealed weapon, so why would they bother charging him with that.
They also didn't charge him for the marijuana or cite him for the curfew violation.
It shouldn't be. In a case of legitimate self defense there should be no liability for reckless endangerment. Among other things, legitimate self defense precludes recklesness. Furthermore, reading the statute that way would preclude any act of self defense when others are in the immediate area, which is absurd.
That's my belief as well.
C'mon now, you need to calm down on that. Many rounds per second? If you have a fast finger. But that's not even what happened.
The kid got exactly what he wanted. Now, lets hope there are consequences so that others won't follow the racist kid's path.
It's the same phenomenon that took place when Floyd and Martin were murdered. The white supremacist right wing circle their wagons around the tool of their hate, in this case, KR and quiver in satisfaction, their bloodlust fulfilled.
I think we should hope there aren't failed psychics in the jury and they make a decision based on the evidence provided rather than absurd emotional drivel devoid of facts and reason. Since you can read Rittenhouse's mind can you also speak with the dead in this case?
Dude, you keep trying to intimidate me from opining as I like. You really should give it up. Yours is no more relevant than mine.
Something just occurred to me... If they didn't charge him with a firearms violation (carrying the concealed pistol) then how can they charge Rittenhouse with a firearms violation?
Yeah, I know. And the right wing nuts on and off this forum are accusing the lot dealers of "perjury" with zero evidence to support it. Just like "voter fraud" - if the facts don't align with the white supremacists' desires - then the facts must be wrong.
Your evidence of this?
The charged everyone with something other than Balch and Grosskreutz. But, Grosskreutz had an illegal firearm, filed a false police report, had marijuana in his possession, and violated the curfew. He got away with everything. Black got two weapons charges. Both Ziminskis got curfew violations. Kelly also got disorderly conduct and resisting/obstructing a police officer. Joshua got disorderly conduct, use of a dangerous weapon. Rittenhouse got the kitchen sink + curfew. It seems Grosskreutz got away with a lot. They decided not to charge him with anything and for some reason the mayor's cousin/DA's office instructed the police to not search his phone despite having a warrant to do so.
So others can interpret the car dealership's state of mind/desires and conclude they're lying, but no one is permitted make assumptions about the kid's state of mind, given the lengths he went to take part in a situation he had no business being in.
And also, we're not allowed to say the kid's a racist vigilante, even though he went to great efforts to arm and insert himself into a crime scene that had nothing to do with him.
Rittenhouse is a Trump supporter. Binger is running to be elected to a District Attorney position. I don't think it's a good move for him, but these charges are obviously politically motivated in some capacity.
Rittenhouse was made the poster boy for white nationalist domestic terrorism. That's how.
Was the Rittenhouse photo you refer to taken on the night of the 25th? If not, how does it apply to that night and the events under consideration in this trial?This is much the same as stating the photo taken with Sal suggests the owners requested help, but a photo of Rittenhouse at a bar with several proud boys doesn't mean anything mean he had any ties to the group.
