Honestly whether it’s self defense or not, the most egregious thing now is that he actively profits off of it. Does literally everything he can to stay in the spotlight so that it doesn’t go away.

I personally cannot fathom killing two people in one of the most controversial and publicized cases in recent memory and, after that ordeal, forcing your public persona on everyone and inserting yourself into the conversation at every turn trolling the opposition.
I would have lived in isolation, somewhere away from everything, praying I don’t get recognized anywhere while carrying the unbearable weight of guilt for the rest of my life.
But maybe that’s just me. I’m a liberal and I have empathy and a conscience.

He’s been built up and branded as a hero to the right. I can’t imagine a trauma like this where a soul is grappling with every moral and ethic they’ve ever encountered NOT being enticed to take on that persona. Like, the options are feel responsible for the deaths of two people or be some sort of cult hero?
Rittenhouse needs to go away for a while, but his situation makes a lot of sense to me. It’s just completely tragic on every end of the scale though

u/PrismoBF Nov 29 '22
I'm guessing you wouldn't intentionally and needlessly place yourself in a situation where you may have to kill someone. You know...like dressing up in military cosplay with guns and live ammo and goto an opposition political protest to antagonize them, while hoping that you get the opportunity to "legally" kill them.

u/__law Nov 29 '22
I'm sorry, but I don't think that's true.
Legal Eagle did a great summary of the case in question, anyone familiar with left-wing commentary spaces will know that he is a very well trusted source.
I find it hard to watch that summary and not conclude the verdict was fair. And LE did a follow up with some of the things people were saying about it being a biased judge and jury, pointing out that all of them were perfectly routine for a courtroom.
Look, you don't have to like Rittenhouse, and you don't have to think it was a good idea for a child to carry a gun to a peaceful protest. you can also argue that a black kid in Rittenhouse's place would not have gotten a fair verdict. But that doesn't mean that Rittenhouse didn't get a fair verdict himself.
Honestly, I think the way this kid has been mythologised as some kind of bloodthirsty psychopath by the left is really harmful to the good causes progressives want to put forward. It makes progressives look deranged, hateful, and detached from reality.
We need to move on.
24
u/Allmightydohllah Nov 29 '22
Rittenhouse literally went to a protest, killed people, and got away with it. The reason he got away with it is because the prosecutor was inept. Even LE said this. As for moving on, Rittenhouse hasn't, the Reich wing hasn't, and they made him a symbol. You can't ignore someone who's being supported by the right wing politicians and system.

That guy didn't say he didn't get a "Fair verdict" whatever you want that to mean, which in theory should be around the level of "nothing at all" because he was pretty clearly handed a VERY favorable judge who tilted the proceedings HEAVILY in his favor. What people are pissed about is that he went ON PURPOSE to a place WITH A GUN AND INTENT TO KILL.
And for fucks sake, we all want to just move the fuck on, boy how do we want more than anything to just do that, literally almost very top level comment says this, but, and here's the key, this little fuck head Kyle KEEPS POKING HIS HEAD UP IN PUBLIC AND MAKING SHITTY CONTROVERSIAL BAITING STATEMENTS.

Millions of liberals agreed with the court statement that it was self defense. He’s a moron if he thinks we hate him because we don’t know the facts. We know the law exonerated you. We know you killed someone in self defence. But the entire situation could’ve been avoided if you weren’t a racist piece of shit looking for trouble hundreds of miles from your home. You travelled their with a gun to cause chaos , thinking you were there to bring order. It wasn’t your job. We know your intentions. If you would’ve just shut up after the court case and lived a normal life, we would’ve chalked it as an unfortunate incident and forgotten about it. But you had to turn into an asshole proving exactly what many people thought you were in the first place.

There is a viable argument that he was goaded into firing in self defense. I would say that there is indeed more than a chance he is not "a murderer" per say. However, there was no reason for him to be in the area and there's no way he should have been packing heat.
He may not have planned on killing someone but he certainly increased his odds of doing so with the decisions HE made leading up to this unfortunate event.

It's "self defense" in the same way you can go on youtube and find people "being assaulted" because they go to protests and get inches from people's faces while yelling and screaming, then cry about being assaulted when pushed away. You can technically use those words if you remove enough context, but you're a piece of shit for doing it, just like Kyle the murderer Shittenhouse.

Despite your condescending drivel, you don't get to decide what we think. Many of us think it should have been "murder" simply because he put himself in the position of vigilante, and then acted like a victim when it didn't go the way he expected. If he wouldn't have been there acting like a tough guy, he wouldn't have been in a position to kill somebody when he found out he wasn't.

u/SomeDudeUpHere Nov 29 '22 edited Nov 29 '22
So what position were the people who attacked him putting themselves in? More justified vigilantes as far as you're concerned? If they weren't there trying to act like toughguys they wouldn't have been shot, if they weren't there stirring up trouble they wouldn't have been in position to be killed. Fact is, he is no more or less justified than anyone else for being there. The other fact is, like it or not, he can and did carry a gun on him. The last fact is that there is a straight up video detailing the whole thing to prove for a fact he only shot when he felt he was in actual real danger. He didn't just go in there spraying.
