Oso planning to go pro
the actual part in the trial this morning was really heart breaking sad. he really tried to soldier thru but when his breathing started to get labored, judge recognizes rittenhouse can't go on like this and the jury doesn't need to see anymore. patient in my chair broke down crying as she watched. looked for a moment like he was going to suffer a real breakdown. that's not funny. kudos to judge for recognizing this and taking a break. anyone having any compassion for another regardless of your position here has to feel for the guy, yes, he put himself in the position he was, but i think we can agree that he didn't go there to kill 2 people and injure anotherbtw rockie-he didn't "re-rack" the gun before shooting that gage guy
😂
Didn’t think you could go any lower reeko. So many examples of you guys just can’t get out of yourselves. How about starting with just some plain decency and compassion the guy did not want to kill anyone and he had to relive the most horrifying experience one could go thru.
The part that I just don't understand though, is the overhead video clearly shows Rittenhouse as the armed aggressor, chasing an unarmed man. That should immediately nullify any claim of self defense.
Can you please link to this video. I have looked (admittedly quickly) and cannot find it. I haven’t heard anyone mention that except you in this thread and you’ve referred to it as “surveillance” video and “overhead” video. I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m genuinely curious because I haven’t heard this mentioned anywhere else.
He didn’t want to kill anyone, but he drove into a different state to be somewhere he knew that there would be rioting going on and he brought an assault rifle with him. Hmm…If he didn’t want to kill anyone, he has one person to blame.
Isn't Kenosha like 15-20 mins from his house? I believe he has family and friends in Kenosha.
Yes. None of that changes the fact that he drove to a different state with an assault rifle to be somewhere that riots were going to be happening. He made that decision. If you don’t want to murder someone maybe don’t head there. Or leave the assault rifle at home. I don’t know. Just a thought.
And the fact that this prosecutor tried to coach a witness and asked him to lie under oath is something else that deserves the start of a full fledged investigation into the entire Kenosha County DA office. These are some bad folks down there.
He didn’t bring the AR across state lines with him. It was and always was stored at his buddies house in Wisconsin. Would have been illegal for him to have brought it back to Illinois. This was all covered in great detail during his testimony yesterday. Me thinks you weren’t watching.
Why do you seem so personally invested in this case? It's being weaponized by both sides of the political spectrum.
Okay. You’re still deflecting. He showed up in a city he knew riots would be happening with an assault rifle. Guess who else lives within an easy drive of Kenosha? Me. Guess who didn’t show up there with an assault rifle? Me. And guess who didn’t murder multiple people? Also me. It was pretty easy to avoid. Nobody forced him to be there. Nobody forced him to bring an assault rifle. He made those choices. He “didn’t want to kill 2 people?” Then why does he have an assault rifle in a place he knows there will be unrest? Again, he has one person to blame. It’s not hard.
He definitely used poor judgment and as far as I know illegally obtained the assault rifle. I would think he will be charged on that count. Intimating he drove up to murder people is an entirely different story and seems incredulous.
Yeah, that “crossing state lines” thing is misleading. I think he worked in Kenosha and lived nearby.
Regardless of anyone's thoughts on the case one way or the other, the judge IS objectively bad. Holy crap, what a nutter.
The fact is, he committed a crime that directly led to the deaths of 3 people.
He is celebrated by a lot of people on that align with his political beliefs and the vigilante type. He went out to bars and leveraged that celebrity. To those who align with those types, they will read this as proof that you can be a vigilante. It will make things worse.
That’s why I’m “invested”. There has been a lot of attention given to this case from the night of the accident but it’s only been one side who has been dealing in facts and reality. It gets me beyond frustrated to see the lies/spin being put out (primarily coming from one side of the political aisle) when it’s a kids life at stake. This isn’t some game to score cheap political points. And the fact Biden put out a tweet shortly after the shootings blaming it on white supremacy and attaching it to trump/MAGA supporters is shameful.
I missed it. Why is he a disaster?
It’s not illegal to possess a rifle under 18 in Wisconsin. Otherwise every 17 year old hunter would be in violation of the law, not sure how the official language reads so I can see that charge sticking cause he obviously wasn’t out in the woods hunting or at a shooting range (also not illegal to be under 18 in possession of a rifle at the shooting range) so in the context of open carrying the rifle in the middle of town it was never really determined in testimony if that was illegal or not.
