Ready to bring the hate?

Rittenhouse's case was legitimate self-defense. No one has to believe me, the videos the jury saw are available.

"He shouldn't have been there!", is not a legal defense. Unless you want to posit, "She shouldn't have been there!" in this week's case. "He was there to start shit!", is mostly not a defense, but we're getting in the legal weeds here. Intention is notoriously hard to prove.

Whoever bought the gun for him, I think it was legal in that state?, should likely be in prison. Can't remember the details. Rittenhouse himself should have caught prison time for bringing the weapon across state lines. Far as I can discern, that was the only point at which he broke the law and it was a felony. No idea why he didn't go down for that. Anyone?

If I see that kid walking down my street, I might very well..., leave that your imagination. Let's say I would view him as a legitimate threat, especially given his actions after the trial. He's still looking for a fight, though I doubt he has the guts to draw blood again.

I feel honor-bound to point out every time somebody brings this up that Gaige Grosskreutz could've greased that guy, and it would've been legitimate self-defense, too. Wisconsin law be fucked.

You are correct I believe! Been some time since I've watched the videos, but I remember feeling the same.
