Kyle Rittenhouse worship.

As a father, as a 2a supporter, as someone who is left of center and someone who investigates stuff for a living

he was a 17 year old kid out doing a job that didn’t need to be done, and shouldn’t have been done by him with out the training resources and oversight it would require.

the adults who allowed him to be in this role should be ashamed of themselves and no matter how this plays out in the end the 17 year olds life will be irrevocably damaged.
he was doing a job that ABSOLUTELY needed to be done...and the fact that we as a society put if off for so long that a kid had to take the reigns to do it is shameful.

Well, if history shows us anything, the left actually prefer the young to be vulnerable. Sadly, there are millions and millions of examples of this.

So, is it a surprise that a point of arguement is about kyle being 17?
 
The bottom line is this guy did what 90% of internet warriors say they will do if put in the same situation. He got lucky by taking out some shitheads that most people don’t care to see alive anyways.

In fight or flight he chose to fight. You can’t fault him for that after being attacked.

On another note I polished off a grilled 5 lbs chicken after reading this thread

I carry a gun in a town that I am a mechanic in. What in the fuck does his occupation have to do with anything.
Because people are acting like he was protecting his workplace. He was a dumbest kid with poor decision making skills. He shouldn't have had a firearm or been guarding someone's property.

You just ate an entire 5lbs of chicken??
 
there were a shit ton of 17 year olds (and younger) who signed up for WWII.

And 13 year olds fought in the Civil War. Laws change. To phrase it for you to understand he was too young to draft.

He is also too young to put on a Quarteedeck watch but you think it was okay he was providing armed security for a used car lot.

He didn't do it very well the car lot had more damage throughout the evening.
 
Uuugh, Guess my half inebriated ass will weigh in, since I'm already here and we're all discussing our FEELINGS.

Based on the video evidence:
KR isn't a hero for the reasons Maser pointed out (how old am I, that I have lived to agree with the binky boy?)
That said, he showed extraordinary poise in a shit situation. He put himself on the scene, but not into the situation. Dead felon #1 mistakenly sought KR out under the impression that KR was the same guy DF1 had an altercation with earlier. Once that ball was rolling, shit went downhill fast. KR originally let the 1 armed faggot mentioned above go, when 1AF raised his hands and feigned surrender (only to attack KR as soon as he lowered his rifle). I'd wager most people in the same situation would have shot first, thought later. 1AF deservedly took a round to the arm for his faggotry.
Regardless of the how/why he was there, he did what he had to do to survive. He never should have been charged, and should promptly be acquitted.

As for his 19yo friend, guy admitted he took money from KR to buy a rifle on KR's behalf. The definition of a straw purchase. He's fucked.
However, I don't personally agree with the way the straw purchase law is applied. The two young men did what they did to get around some BS regulations that wouldn't have been an issue in most other places ( a confluence of ownership, transportation, and hunting laws that made it so KR couldn't just borrow a riffle from a friend to hunt with iirc). Like most laws involving firearms, the original intention of the law is agreeable (keep shit bags who haven't been caught from buying guns for shit bags who have been caught), but it is more often used to hamstring otherwise honest gun owners who didn't realize they were breaking the law.

For those of you conflating this situation with getting/giving a gift of gun, I'll make it easy: If you buy a gun with your own money and give it to someone = not a straw purchase. If you take money from someone to buy a gun for them = straw purchase.

My pair of worthless zinc pennies.
And now the Eagle Rare calls me back to my station.
 
He didn't do it very well the car lot had more damage throughout the evening.

Dude, just stop. You went from a semi reasonable question of "why the worship", to questioning his right to self defense ,to questioning his right to be there, to blaming him for not preventing the damage by himself. WTF are you trying to accomplish here?
 
welp, time to pack my msg up and go home. Been fun.

*i will be lurking the @theLBC election thread*

I know some 40 year olds that are worthless pieces of shit. So what is your point again???

why not?, he did a fucking great job at it
Not a great job see above, he didn't prevent loss to the used car lot.

There are very few things a17 year old enlistee can do. In most cases the few 17 year olds enlisted have their 18th birthday before their first permanent duty station.

.......this isnt about a fucking car lot.......

fucking Christ, are you just pretending to be a moron or did you eat paint chips as a kid?
 
Wait... wut?! Kyle Rittenhouse AND chicken?! LOL.

It comes down to this boys. You either believe in the 2A or you do not. Which makes me question what they believe about the Constitution as a whole.

Jeep guy does not-clearly.

Who cares how old the shooter person is?

Who cares why he is there?

Does he have a right to carry (open or otherwise) and does he have a right to self defense? Pretty sure 2A says yes. Pretty sure the SCOTUS agrees.

Why is this a problem for the OP?

THAT is what this entire clusterfuck thread is about. Same as the rest.

I'm seeing that folks that come here poking chests for a reason are not able or willing to answer questions about these things. Shocking. They are on the wrong side of what makes America, America. Commies by any other name....

I am guilty as anyone here of feeding the trolls, but really, they are not even worth the BP they cause. Note to self.

Simply, my answer is: fuck these fucks. Trust me. Resume whatever goodness that was in your life before this thread-these people deserve nothing from us but silence and scorn.

PS: Chicken (and white meat) is lame and red meat is always the answer, no matter how much flavor you drop on the chicken. An opinion.

Long live Taco Tuesday.

Agreed, but you are mixing apples and oranges. The shootings should be self defense, he shouldn't have been there.

The point is you want his reason to be there and be armed to be strong, but he there isn't one that puts an armed 17 year old on a job.

He’s successfully trolling us all by using the time tested moving argument technique. He certainly isn’t making any valid points.

I liked the thread much better when people were ignoring his ridiculousness and were talking about fried chicken. I happen to think that nothing beats a Popeyes two piece meal with biscuit and dirty rice for a comfort lunch, if somewhat overpriced for what it is.

Why should the normal folks deal with these Commie assholes and let them destroy shit?

No, I'm not a moron. His whole fucking reason to be there was guarding the used car lot.

Put that in your head, an armed 17 year old volunteered to protect a used car lot.

PS: you would have to ask my mother about the paint chips.

Because people are acting like he was protecting his workplace. He was a dumbest kid with poor decision making skills. He shouldn't have had a firearm or been guarding someone's property.

He was protecting HIS OWN LIFE.

Man you are dense. How about you complain about the ILLEGAL RIOTS.

Go try your Overton Window shit somewhere else. You’re a 2A apologist. Commies love apologists.

Do you think the Commie pricks that burned that bitch down were armed?

Are you mad at them?
 
Not counting the political whys, maybe the lot owner should have moved the cars, hired real security, or asked how old the kid on his lot was.
WHY are talking about an American business owner, who was burned to the ground? It sounds like you BLAME him for his concern about Commies.

Are you a Commie?

Why are you sitting here making waves dude?

You will convince no one.

And only ensure everyone shows up to counter the Commie assholes when possible.

Are you a double agent?!
