Rittenhouse Trial

I said that he probably should according to the law and the likelihood of conviction on various charges, not that he should as a matter of me thinking he should go to jail.
I don’t see the logic in this. Please explain which law you believe he broke?
 
Why didn't the defense bring in the videos of the glock guy threatening to take Kyle's carbine and shoot him with his own gun? That video was posted on the Hide when it first went down. There's the proof against him.

Rittenhouse was neither

It sounds like he was in possession of a firearm illegally, which compromises, it seems, his right to self defense under 939.48 1mB1 of the Wisconsin code. If I am incorrect in this, then I am incorrect and am happy to eat that.

See above. I am also undecided on whether deadly force was justified in shooting #1.

My main point, however, was that this was a tragedy that occurred because government officials, who were so invested in a Presidential election, were in dereliction of duty to the point that 17 year olds felt the need to be defending a community that was not even theirs. That is the main takeaway. If I am wrong on the law, I am wrong on the law.

I have not kept tabs on any of this. Nor do I want to be in the middle of any arguments. That said the only thing he could be found guilty of (in my opinion) is having a minor in possession of a rifle or whatever the relevant charges are for that in the situation (based on age or whatnot).

Everything else is a complete witch hunt to try and prove a point.
 
That's not the way that statute reads. The subsection you are referencing is only applicable to WI's codification of the castle doctrine in the "ar" subsection of the statute about the duty to retreat within a home.
He was retained to guard a business, from what I recall. Probably that is why you said only within a home, and not, as the statute reads, within a home or place of business.
 
That seems to be the central theme of this thread and everyone is dialing in on little pieces of it IMO. If it were truly a matter of law as in the Constitution-he walks on all counts.

If it is a matter of locality-he is in trouble. If this all occurred in Bent Elbow, GA or Crooked Knee, TN - it is a non-issue. No charges sought. Because of that pesky Constitution the Communists hate.

But if it occurs in/around a Democratic city, well, now you have Soros funded Commie prosecutors in play. And judges. And the evil sheep they surround themselves with.

Equality under Law is something the Commies cannot abide building their alleged Commie Utopia. So, they try to scare the normal folks into compliance by shit like this. And the McCloskeys, and persecuting political rivals like Jan 6, and so on.

I cannot tell that kid what to do here-but if it were me, or my kid-this shit has got to go to the Supreme's as needed based upon verdict. This kid needs funding.

Ultimately it is a matter of preserving our right and liberties against tyranny. They are trying to tear down our basic fabric of a society built upon that Constitution.

They simply will fail-one way or the other IMO.

So-we can sit here and split hairs, but if you read the Constitution-kid is free as a bird to pack a weapon, free to smoke bad guys perpetrating harm and violence, and this 17 year old stuff?... Uncle Sugar ISSUED me one at 17-so yeah, fuck WI and their un-Constitutional laws.

All just an opinion.
Need a lot more people like Kyle! Good is bad and bad is good under these evil fucking corrupt democrats!
 
You're still missing the main point.

It would not preclude the use of self-defense as an affirmitive defense.

Depending on the fact determinations by the finders of fact, it could potentially affect whether the judge gives jury instructions that the jury should consider whether there was an opportunity to retreat or not.
I know, I made a really shitty argument and I don't want to own up to it, but I do. It isn't that I am missing the main point, I am trying to evade it.

Being in possession of the gun illegally, which we aren’t even sure is illegal in and of itself, does not negate a persons right to self defense. Even if it is illegal, and let’s say he used a knife instead, does him having the gun illegally, negate his right to protect himself?

Also his attacker has zero way to know if he was 1 year older or not and legally allowed to have that rifle.

what was rittenhouse suppose to do? Let the arsonists attack him?

everything that he may be guilty of he would get off of on time served.

948.60(3)(c) declares that 948.60 doesn't apply to minors carrying rifles or shotguns that are not SBRs or short barreled shotguns.

(c) This section applies only to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the person is in violation of s. 941.28 or is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593.
 
948.60(3)(c) declares that 948.60 doesn't apply to minors carrying rifles or shotguns that are not SBRs or short barreled shotguns.

(c) This section applies only to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the person is in violation of s. 941.28 or is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593.
If in violation of... what do 942.28, 29.304 and 29.593 say.

Everything I read it says he is getting charged with some sort of minor in possession.
 
941.28 is Possession of Short barreled rifle or shotgun
29.304 is Restrictions on hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age.
29.593 is Requirement for certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval (hunters safety requirement)
939.51 is Classification of misdemeanors (spells out classes and related fines and jail time)


Honestly, I don't see how they can charge him with minor in posession of a rifle when the statue clearly says (paraphrasing..."this doesn't apply to minors carrying rifles or shotguns unless they are violating SBR laws, or hunting age requirements or hunter safety class requirements"

To me, that is purposefully written to allow minors to possess long guns.

And the 939 just classifies the punishment.
 
That's akin to blaming a woman for getting raped while walking home from a party.

1. She was "looking for trouble" when she attended a party with alcohol consumption.
2. Party was near a known date rape frat house.
3. She knew she would have to walk past this frat house.
4. She should have just stayed home.

I'm not buying your argument and I doubt the prosecution would be able to convince anyone of this.
Perhaps you should look at what I am saying. I’m not blaming him at all and not asking you to buy anything. That is something that’s been established in many self defense cases. Remember, the prosecution only needs one person to hang a jury too. This one won’t stop with a hung jury, it will be tried over and over.
 
So, in a trial, the jury decides if a person is guilty of violating the law. But who decides if that specific law even applies to an individual? The judge?
This would normally be handled in pre-trial motions.
 
The "section" he's charged with is 948.60. part 1 defines terms, part 2 lays out what is a violation, and part 3 clarifies who the section applies to. You cant separate part 1 or 2 from part 3
The way I understand it being charged with 948.60(2)(a) which he is being charged with. Is not the same as 948.60(3)(c).

948.60(3)(c) which I believe references hunting does not apply.

I am not a lawyer, but this is my understanding
 
Not guilty of homicide and endangerment and guilty of firearm possession. No more time in jail because of time served.
 
Did this happen in DC???
he was in a STATE that doesn't allow anyone under 18 to purchase a firearm, And they only may possess a firearm under special circumstances like hunting or taking a training course etc.
I see. You threw me off when you mentioned crossing State lines in violation of a law that doesn't exist. Can you fill me in on the State firearm possession law that he violated?

aren't 2 of the 3 jewish? liberals don't lump jewish folks into the "white" group that they hate and are trying to destroy.
White or jewish depends on the circumstance. Basically they can be either, depending on which is more beneficial at that time.

Historically, the grand jury decides. I'm not sure what Wisconsin does.
 
The totality of the circumstances, a full blown Aunt Tiffa riot, render that statute moot.

Context matters to most people and I think it will for at least a few folks on any decently representative jury.
 
Here’s the first guy he shot, but earlier in the night.


also seen here from the picture above. Safe to say he was pretty aggressive that night, likely also when he was chasing Kyle.
