I've been avoiding this forum due to the endless circular threads and stupidity, but thought I'd respond to this one, as I'm sure Jim will spin this into this poor youth being the innocent victim. So while this actually may have been self defense and maybe it's not premediated murder, do those people die if this idiot wasn't marching down to a riot with an illegal assault rifle he had no business possessing let along carrying. If you go marching into that situation with an assault rifle, you are just asking for trouble and while he may be able to get off on the most serious charges of premeditated murder, he should be charged at least to the same level as some drunk running down and killing an innocent pedestrian.

Spin on Jim, your the best at it.

Would those people have died if they weren't marching down to a riot and attacking a well armed boy? Would Grosskreutz have been shot if he wasn't marching down to a riot with a gun for which his license to carry had expired?

Jim's discussing Wittenhouse, if you want to spin it to others breaking the law feel free, never said there wasn't blame to go around. Jim is ready to go on one of his quests and I wanted to give him a good running start. Wittenhouse shot and killed two people, carrying a weapon he wasn't able to buy for himself and was carrying illegally and he should be held accountable. That is up to the courts and a jury of his peers to decide, but Jim will paint him as an innocent victim and I'm sure he will bring a full barrage of whataboutism into it at some point.

Still trolling this site I see crappie fisherman from the midwest, running out of people to debate with on this forum.

Spinning your spin. Round and round we spin. Yup, others broke the law which doesn't seem to bother you. Spin, spin.


never said there wasn't blame to go around.

Would say it now? Do you blame Grosskreutz and the others who chased Rittenhouse?

Jim is ready to go on one of his quests and I wanted to give him a good running start. Wittenhouse shot and killed two people, carrying a weapon he wasn't able to buy for himself and was carrying illegally and he should be held accountable.

Is that what he's on trial for? Is Grosskreutz testifying that Rittenhouse was illegally carrying a gun?

That is up to the courts and a jury of his peers to decide, but Jim will paint him as an innocent victim and I'm sure he will bring a full barrage of whataboutism into it at some point.

Are you painting him as a guilty culprit before the jury decides?

Yup.

Amazing you can read minds, such talent. Does it upset me others broke the law, certainly but this thread started about Rittenhouse and that was my focused response. Are others guilty of crimes, they probably are and if so, I hope they are charged and afforded due process as well. And yes I'm painting him as a guilty culprit, I'm not on the jury so I am entitled to my opinion, not saying he is guilty of murder, but he is a long, long, long way from being an innocent victim.

"I'm sure Jim will spin this into this poor youth being the innocent victim."

An interesting conclusion, since I said this...

"It’s beyond stupid for a 17 year old to take a rifle to a riot"

With the exception of rockhound, you guys are all identical. When faced with a compelling argument (believe it or not, conservatives stumble upon those once in awhile), you all resort to the identical practice of pretending that I said something which I never even came close to saying. Every single time. What's in that Kool-Aid, I wonder, which makes you think that it's OK to ignore what I actually said, and respond instead to nonsensical gibberish?

"So while this actually may have been self defense"

It was obviously self-defense. If this wasn't self-defense, there's no such thing as self-defense.

"do those people die if this idiot wasn't marching down to a riot with an illegal assault rifle he had no business possessing let along carrying"

They'd also be alive, had they not given Rittenhouse reasonable cause to fear for his life. And that's what matters here.

And where's the "white supremacy" angle here, which the entire media stirred up? Everyone involved is white.

In the future, if you can respond to what I actually say, rather than pretend that I said something I never said, we will get along better, and you'll look much less foolish.

"I've been avoiding this forum"

If you're going to lie about what I say, you should have stuck with your instinct.
