The Rittenhouse incident
“I just killed somebody”

We the People

Kyle Rittenhouse is a 17-year old Antioch, Ill., resident whom prosecutors have accused of fatally shooting two men & wounding another amid violent protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
A judge will decide at a hearing on Sept. 25 whether Mr. Rittenhouse will be extradited to Wisconsin, where he would be tried as an adult. Mr. Rittenhouse could face life in prison if convicted of first-degree intentional homicide.

Last night we heard from Kyle's attorney. The incident sounds like a case of self defense and his attorney seems to be using film/evidence from the New York Times - It seems that Kyle was guarding a store when he was chased by a mob and shot at.

This is that side of the story courtesy of Tucker Carlson:




In another video taken Tuesday by Richard McGinniss (the Daily Caller), Rittenhouse is explaining why he was there earlier that night -  “People are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business, and part of my job is to also help people”. ....Kyle Rittenhouse.

As with all of these riots police were either nowhere to be found or obviously ordered to stand down as the mayhem continued. Oddly enough, in this case - the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin and the national ACLU called for the immediate resignation of Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis and Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth over their response to Tuesday night’s shooting. The ACLU only wants protection for rioters it would seem.

I believe Wisconsin has an open carry law. Store owners have a need to protect their businesses, so on it goes.

This is still a developing story.

Yea, who could have ever figured out his Defense Attorney would claim self defense...?

From the videos i saw, the latter shootings could be deemed as such, but, all contingent on what sparked initial confrontation.

It's always good to have a video that starts with where the incident really began. This time they may have one, from a strange source as well.

It seems like whenever there is a video, we only see 'part' of it.

So true. That was what was so good about Police cameras. I read somewhere that since the Police have been wearing them, complaints of police misconduct have dropped. That could either be the Police acting differently or we are finally getting to see the entire incident from the beginning. I suspect it's the latter. No more cell phone videos beginning after the cop has been assaulted or spat upon!

You warned? LOL. 

Rittenhouse is explaining why he was there earlier that night - “People are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business, and part of my job is to also help people”.....Kyle Rittenhouse.

He didnt have a job. He's not police or national guard, and he's 17 years old. He was at the very minimum violating curfew.  Did the protesters have a "job" on the scene? 

Rittenhouse was illegally carrying that gun. He is charged with it and the lawyer in the video admits as much when he mentions a Wisconsin law that he says is "unconstitutional". An "unconstitutional" law is still a law and Rittenhouse has been charged. 

Rittenhouse was not guarding a building as he said was his job when the protesters chased him toward that parking lot. He was instigating himself into the protest out of his own sense of self importance.  The lawyer says in the video that the police line had moved and was now in position to protect the building. Rittenhouse was without a "job" at that point and instead of going home he went toward the protesters to instigate himself into the protest. Carrying a long gun. 

No one shot at Rittenhouse. The shot was up into the air.  

The prosecutor's will lay out their case and I am quite sure it will be different than John Pierce's take. 

By the way, is the far right lawyer John Pierce the QAnon guy who is representing Rittenhouse, or the partner of the QAnon guy ?

Then why put him on trial as an adult?


He was at the very minimum violating curfew.

What about the animals who were rioting?


Did the protesters have a "job" on the scene? 

Good question. I wonder if they are being paid? I believe the government is taking a good hard look at that.


Rittenhouse was illegally carrying that gun.

You have to prove that, John.


Rittenhouse was not guarding a building as he said was his job when the protesters chased him toward that parking lot. He was instigating himself into the protest out of his own sense of self importance.  

His lawyer said he was putting out fires and that's what enraged the leftist mob.


No one shot at Rittenhouse. The shot was up into the air.  

Sort of a warning shot?  How did you come to that conclusion?


The prosecutor's will lay out their case and I am quite sure it will be different than John Pierce's take. 

Of course it will. Then a jury will have to decide.


By the way, is the far right lawyer John Pierce the QAnon guy who is representing Rittenhouse, or the partner of the QAnon guy ? 

Sorry, I don't know much about QAnon. I don't waste my time watching CNN.

He is a lawyer. That's what matters.

Not agreeing or disagreeing here. I'm just pointing out that what goes up, must come down and when shots are fired in the air, who the hell knows where it's coming down. It could kill an innocent person in the neighborhood 1/2 a mile away. Yes, chances are slim, but let's be real too... discharge of a firearm is illegal within city limits anyways. And yes... they're all guilty of that in some way, including that 17 year old.

Most 17 year olds charged with murder are tried as an adult. It would take very mitigating circumstances for a murder charge to be juvenile. 

The rioters were subject to curfew too, of course. 

He is charged in the indictment with illegally carrying a gun.  Take your complaint up with the Wisconsin prosecutors, who probably know their law better than John Pierce does. 

There will be witnesses who will say that Rittenhouse pointed his gun at them and made inflammatory comments such as I could shoot you. 

I dont know why the shot was fired straight up into the air, but that was in a NYT account of what happened. 

Rittenhouse has two lawyers as of a day or two ago, one of them is known QAnon because he has their slogan in his twitter profile. The other one is his partner on this case. Both of them, including Pierce, are far right politically. 

I dont believe you dont know anything about QAnon.

And I'm sure there will be some of those bearing false testimony, just as in the Michael Brown case, but things have a way of sorting themselves out. We had a lot of radical leftists on the scene. On the other hand is the film footage, which is objective.


I dont know why the shot was fired straight up into the air, but that was in a NYT account of what happened. 

I'm sure that Kyle felt reassured at that moment.

Do you object to lawyers having political views?   I don't recall your indignation over the Mueller team.

Actually, it won't. Defense attorneys religiously keep previous, unrelated matters out of the trial. It works for thugs, so I assume it applies here as well.

Because it wasnt in Gateway Pundit, you may not know that the US Senate concluded that Paul Manafort, Trumps campaign manager at the time, colluded with a Russian agent named Kilimnik passing the agent material that could be used to interfere in the American election. 

One of the great disappointments of the Mueller Report is that it fails to provide narrative closure after building so much anticipation for the Kilimnik story line. Mueller did not fully explain why Manafort’s relationship with his Ukraine-based adviser so bothered his prosecutors. Why had Manafort passed along the documents? And what did the oligarchs want with them?

The committee fills in the gaps somewhat. It reports that Manafort and Kilimnik talked almost daily during the campaign. They communicated through encrypted technologies set to automatically erase their correspondence; they spoke using code words and shared access to an email account. It’s worth pausing on these facts: The chairman of the Trump campaign was in daily contact with a Russian agent, constantly sharing confidential information with him. That alone makes for one of the worst scandals in American political history.

The significant revelation of the document is that Kilimnik was likely a participant in the Kremlin scheme to hack and leak Clinton campaign emails. Furthermore, Kilimnik kept in close contact with the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a former client of Manafort’s. The report also indicates that Deripaska was connected to his government’s hacking efforts. This fact is especially suggestive: Deripaska had accused Manafort of stealing money from him, and Manafort hoped to repair his relationship with the oligarch. Was Manafort passing information to him, through Kilimnik, for the sake of currying favor with an old patron?

but that is rather immaterial to the discussion at hand

I was replying to JR's statement that Rittenhouse wasn't shot at; that the person shot straight into the air. Even if that is the case, it's illegal to discharge a firearm within city limits. Yes, there are circumstances in which one would have to protect themselves, their home, or their family; however, when a firearm is discharged, the person that discharged said gun within city limits [even if it's in their own home], they're taken into custody and their gun confiscated until a full investigation is performed and is deemed as self-defense. Trust me... a friend of mine, a legally carrying adult had to go through that process and once the investigation was complete, he got his gun back and charges dropped... because it was deemed that he was defending himself. He lost his gun and carry license for 2 months during that investigation and had a stay at the local jail for the first couple nights.

This KID should never have gone there in the first place. That's my opinion. Where were his parents? I have a 19, 17, and 12 year old under my roof. You think for one minute I don't know where they are and what they're doing? That's called being a parent. They know gun laws because my husband and I have taught them.

We see the word "bravery" thrown around a lot.
You want to know what bravery looks like? Attacking a cold-blooded MURDERER armed with an AR-15 after you just saw him shoot someone in the head... and all you have is a skateboard.
Bravery, Hero, everything that can be said about someone who puts their life on the line to save others. A First Responder HERO!
Bravery looks like this.
Was on a train today overhearing conversation where folks were saying Rittenhouse was a hero, protecting his property from rioters trying to steal from him. Sickened. There are two narratives. One is reality, the other is distorted crap that half of America is willing to believe without question. I am disheartened, how deceived and divided America is.
We send prayers of comfort of the two slain victim-heroes to their families, friends and communities. Their lives mattered too!

I call that stupidity , not bravery, The ONLY real option and authority the last 2 had was keep eyes on him and guide the cops to him , funny how the kid was going directly to the cops without being attacked in the first place, the cops not doing anything is on the cops .

 that guy was shot through the heart , and he is the only one to blame( Thanx Bon jovi , it fits perfect) for that coupled with the actions the retarded , time out generational  temper tantrum throwing dumfuck.

 Your welcome for the still photo, notice anything about it? 

Instead of trying to pummel/bludgen  the kid , his weapon is underneath and behind him, why did the moron not just land on him , trap the rifle under both of them so it was unusable ? oh he was too caught up in his emotions and couldnt use his words other than explatives and had to get the aggression and anger out in a beat down, yeah he is dead , and still a dumb fuck. no sympathy OR empathy for him.

Lesson and warning I think Vic was talking about is , people will get real tired of this sort of shit , and they will take measures to mitigate and stop the damage and destruction , and if they are threatened with bodily harm , they will likely respond to violence with greater violence , so if peoples little chicklets want to go out on a wilding and act like destructive little temper tantrum throwing little fucktrophys , this can happen to them as well , thats something to keep in mind it all depends on how fed up the person they cross actually is .

Good question. In MI, one must be 21 to purchase a gun, tobacco, or alcohol.... but an 18 year old can join the military or the police academy right out of high school. Someone can purchase a long gun or a shot gun for a minor, which is intended for hunting purposes, but they cannot purchase themselves. 

Maybe we should all start carrying cross and compound bows. No one can complain that it's a gun problem anymore.

If you are being threatened, run away, hear a gunshot behind you, and turn around and one of your pursuers tries to grab your gun, it's certainly feasible for a jury to believe it's self defense.

I watched this interview, and it portrayed a very different view from what MSM has "reported". In its usual rush to accuse, condemn, and try someone before investigating and verifying all of the information, MSM once again provided us with shoddy journalism.  

I believe Wisconsin has an open carry law. 

According to the lawyer, yes, and it's also legal for a 17-year-old to own a gun.

We've seen other cases where media rushed to judgement, so perhaps some people should learn from those costly mistakes.

I'd guess that anyone who is anti-police does. Michael Brown's family, along with others, attended George Floyd's funeral in "solidarity", even though the circumstances of their loved ones' deaths were vastly different from Mr. Floyd's.

Family members of other black people killed by police officers were also in attendance, including relatives of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Ahmaud Arbery and Eric Garner.

It is legal in WI for a 17 year old to "own" a long gun / rifle, or shot gun, but cannot purchase as a minor (in MI, it's 21 I believe). However, the intention is that said minor is using said long gun / rifle or shotgun for hunting purposes and it's possible that even if he doesn't get charged with murder, he still could get charged with illegal discharge of a firearm within city limits.

It's "pisher".  It's Yiddish.  It's what Jews call their kids when they are scolding or teasing them.  Like: "You little pisher."  I would know.  I heard it enough growing up!

Wisconsin has no stand your ground law - just a Castle Doctrine type of law which would protect you to some extent if you were defending your own property - not necessarily the property of others. 

Some early reports seem puzzling. Supposedly he was part of a group of armed "militia" protecting a car lot. Why didn't they help him out if he was being chased? More information is needed. I'm sure more cell phone videos will show up.

So the only recourse is through the courts.

While I don't think it was a good idea for him to even be there much less carry a firearm it's still self defense. He made a lot of mistakes as 17 year old's tend to do. It was a bad idea for him to go there. It was a bad idea for him to bring a gun. It was a bad idea for him to leave the property he was protecting and the group that was there. It was a bad idea for him to think he could act as a security guard against rioters and a medic for injured rioters at the same time, pick a side pick one job and try to do it well. So he made many bad decisions but he didn't break any Laws. He was attacked and he had no choice at that time but to defend himself, he is a dumbass but not a murderer. To me the whole situation was foreseeable. If I had met him before he went there and he told me where and what he was going to do I would have told him "don't go there because you don't walk through a crowd of thieves with a $1000.00 dollar bill in your hands (the value of his gun on the black market), they will try to take it and these criminals know what they're doing one will distract you while another bashes you in the head with a brick. I would have also told him he had no legal protection to act as a armed security guard or a medic, no insurance, no legal authority or employer to take the brunt of any legal claims against him should things go wrong. There's no arguing he's a dumbass who has written a new book on stupid shit you shouldn't do but he still had the right to defend himself and if making bad decisions is now a crime then that's a crime most of the people on the street that night are guilty of.

I don't doubt that he might get off because both killings were a little murky.  But that hardly makes him innocent. He was in a a volatile situation  trying to be a badass. Both of the people he killed were unarmed. He can put that on his mantle next to the video of him beating up a girl a few weeks ago. This kid is off to a horrible start in life.

It’s pretty much a Rorschach test on your view of the legitimacy of riots. What you think about the riots probably determines if you Think the kid was acting in self defense.

Although he was carrying an illegal gun, and thus had no right to be on those streets, if he had stayed in one place in front of the building he said it was his "job" to protect one could at least say he served some purpose. When he started wandering around and instigating himself into the protest he was begging for trouble. 

He's not an innocent person in all this. The law will decide if he belongs in prison.

swinging it as a bludgoning melee weapon with intent to disable , DOES make it being armed  as dipicted in the still of the video, or would you rather he picked up a pipe off the street and used it? Either way he is caught in the act of physical battery.

 I would say the one with the skateboard made a very POOR choice of weapons for the actions he chose to partake , the proverbial knife to a gun fight thing, only this is actually worse.

 and how do you think a jury would view that image with no spin? Im looking at it as a potential juror. as i have the whole time, ignoring all the spin.

It does if it connects your hand action to his head.

Unfortunately , none of the 3 except the kenosha kid could legally be in posession of a gun , the other 3 were all convicted felons , thus prohibitted by law from having or even TOUCHING one , such as to try to take action to disarm someone that does have a firearm.

personally, i believe the mother should share some blame, as he was too damn young to be put in this type of situation by himself. Need to see what happened to initiate the first shots before i can declare  self defense myself.

COC will not let someone link  to another NT article on someone elses article , but rest assured there is an article , with video , that shows going into the parking lot before the first shots are fired , and goes all the way to the end where the kid tries to get the cops attention after the last 2 were shot. all 3 shootings , one video.

still on video trying to beat the Kenosha kid into submission, Like i said i think he chose a pissah poor improvised weapon to arm himself with , at least STUMPY , had the forethought to arm himself with something equivalent , even if he could not legally do so.

Couple more of "STUMPY" the "innocent" observer, pretty much tell its the same person because of the clothes details , and being a convicted felonious burglar , what BY law is he NOT suppose to be in possession of? and , in the pic with the Kenosha Kid  on the ground, what does it appear he is in the act of attempting? could it be he is attempting to point a firearm he is prohibitted by law from having at the kid? credable threat to ones safety.

At least STUMPY brought an actual gun to a gunfight . and lost

Side note , i have read STUMPY is also being charged for a firearms violation , felon in posession of a firearm. which actually if ANY of the 3 had actually been able to disarm the kid they would have all been charged as felons in possesion of firearms since all 3 were in fact convicted felons and thus prohibitted by law from even touching one. But their past has no real bearing on what happened , except for the fact that they by law couldnt touch the firearm themselves , AND they had no legal authority  to attempt to do so.

Different lighting , and different angles , unfortunately its not doctored or photoshopped., except for the red circle , with the arrow and word GUN

I think the photo on the right is the exact moment this guy earned the nickname STUMPY, see the cloud/ mist behind and effects of hydrostatic shock as it happens on the arm?

I told people i had even more gruesome stills from the video.

the still is taken from the same video on the article  that you started a couple days ago, through the video run , you see it is in fact a gun ( nothing else, not a cell phone ) , and is ordered to put it down along with his backpack by police before he can get med tech treatment . pictures might be worth a 1000 words but running video , seldom hides much if it sees it .

 i think the nickname STUMPY ( my preference) or lefty is appropriate for his poor choices in the matter. of course his being charged with illegal firearms poss  by a convicted felon is also just sauce and gravy and rather sardonic.
