"While Mr. Rittenhouse is being pursued by the group, an unknown gunman fires into the air, though it’s unclear why."

"The weapon’s muzzle flash appears in footage filmed at the scene. Mr. Rittenhouse turns toward the sound of gunfire as another pursuer lunges toward him from the same direction. Mr. Rittenhouse then fires four times, and appears to shoot the man in the head. Mr. Rittenhouse seems to make a phone call and then flees the scene. Several people chase him, some shouting, 'That’s the shooter!' As Mr. Rittenhouse is running, he trips and falls to the ground. He fires four shots as three people rush toward him. One person appears to be hit in the chest and falls to the ground. Another, who is carrying a handgun, is hit in the arm and runs away. Mr. Rittenhouse’s gunfire is mixed in with the sound of at least 16 other gunshots that ring out during this time. As this happens, police vehicles just one block away remain stationary during the gunfire. Mr. Rittenhouse walks with his hands up toward the police vehicles. Bystanders call out to the officers that he had just shot people. The police drive by him without stopping, on their way to assist the victims."

From "Tracking the Suspect in the Fatal Kenosha Shootings/Footage appears to show a teenager shooting three people during protests in Wisconsin. We tracked his movements that night" (NYT).

The Times passes along this video by Daily Caller reporter Richie McGinniss:


AND: I ran across this — for what it's worth:

The short, bellicose, bald man in the maroon T-shirt appears to be Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, who was the first person to die. Here he is taunting "Shoot me, n-----":

The armed felons and rioters attacking people and looting and destroying cities are surprised that others can show up armed as well.

Not to worry lefties.

Joe Biden has now officially declared all the riots were created and sustained by Donald Trump to help in his reelection!

Congratulations! Your changing narratives have finally hit upon an interation where you can now criticize the violent marxist rioters!

Not a moment too soon I'd say, eh?

It's all entertainment to everybody. Watchers, participants, soap opera fans, legal experts, the underclass. The underclass is having a ball.

The interesting high-brow narrative is that civil society agrees to a state monopoly on violence, and here the state has withdrawn its promised protection of them. Where does the narrative go when the state uses violence on the citizens who take defense on themselves, the most incautious ones first of course. Maybe a story of hard-nosed prosecutors vs. jury nullification, a reminder to the state of its agreed responsibilities.

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...

It was fascinating to watch a video of this incident on Twitter soon after it occurred and then to read the reporting of the same incident the following morning. The reporting line was that a right-wing guy started executing protestors. Journalism is dead. Pravda in service to Wokeism.

"Mr. Rittenhouse turns toward the sound of gunfire as another pursuer lunges toward him from the same direction. Mr. Rittenhouse then fires four times, and appears to shoot the man in the head."

They left out the part where the guy shot in the head was trying to light a car on fire at the dealership Master Rittenhouse was protecting.

It's the NYTs. They gaslight and lie like CNN.

From the shipwrecked crew video montage it looked to me like the shooter was chased and physically attacked by a skateboard wielder before he shot back. All the victims had violent histories. We might want to consider drug testing these antifa types. It looks like they are all just out of jail and high on meth. nothing good comes from treating them as peaceful protesters.

Its a let down in civility to the extent where a teenager feels threatened enough to arm themselves to protect a business. That is the job of the Mayor of that town. The Mayor has exhibited no leadership. The Mayor shouldn't be in a leadership position.

It is bizarre how the segregationist eugenicist position has merged with woke ideology. Or maybe it never diverged. It goes something like this:

"Because of two centuries of slavery, blacks in America are uneducated, unable to care for themselves, and their young men are violently aggressive."

Is the solution to self-segregate and let them annihilate themselves? No... that didn't work. Black Americans were outperforming the white underclass -- until the Democrats started pumping welfare into their neighborhoods, the teacher's unions ruined their schools, and the eugenicist (Margaret Sanger) started putting abortion clinics on every corner.

At least the Democrats are consistent.

Because that moment is approaching faster than you think ... if you're thinking at all.

hawkeyedjb म्हणाले...

Two things that are bad, and almost always make matters worse than what preceded them: Riots and vigilantism. Both are the result of the withdrawal of lawful authority. In almost every case, authorities in the USA this year have refused to provide the citizenry with protection from riots and rioters. What comes next is awful but perfectly predictable.

I'm astonished that citizens of Portland haven't even made the first move to take things into their own hands. The rioters should consider themselves lucky, so far. But then the good citizens of that city elected Ted Wheeler, so they - like their mayor - may think the whole thing pretty cool. God help 'em, it isn't going to "burn out" like the mayor hopes. It's more likely to explode out.

Gospace म्हणाले...

The one shot in the head? I'm waiting to see the postmortem on him. I read yesterday he had an entry wound, no exit wound. A 5.56 at that range- the heroes gun- there wouldn't be much of a head left as the bullet exited. At least that's what everyone who knows something about them says. Look at the shredded arm. Do you think a head would look any better?

He may not have shot that guy. Prosecutor is going to be awful embarrasses if that's the case.

Gusty Winds म्हणाले...

Its amazing Rittenhouse actually hit three people. Unlike the riflemen who guarded CHAZ at the request of their local rapping warlord, Rittenhouse new how to handle and shoot a gun. People get nervous and miss deer when it's in their sights. It’s quite amazing that a 17-year-old in that situation, all video recorded, was able to maintain enough composure to hit his targets. It’s not easy. The people who got shot were fools. So is our Governor Tony Evers.

At first glance, Rittenhouse looks like a decent enough kid. There's no way of viewing Rosenbaum as anything but an asshole.

BarrySanders20 म्हणाले...

Someone shot a handgun behind Rittenhouse and Dead Guy #1 Rosenbaum when Rosenbaum was chasing him and seconds before Rittenhouse ventilated Rosenbaum's temple. I bet he thought he was being shot at. (Interesting that Rosenbaum is a convected sex offender who did 12.5 years in jail). No more sex offending for him.

Later, Dead Guy #2 Skateboard Dude runs up from behind and swings his board at Rittenhouse's head, barely misses, and then tries to take the gun. He grabs it by the barrel, but it has a sling attached to Rittenhouse, so as soon as the sling tightens, the muzzle is pointing directly at Skateboard Dude's stomach and it looks like the gun goes off, maybe because Rittenhouse still has his finger on the trigger of a gun that is being pulled away from him. (Interesting that Skateboard Dude has domestic abuse convictions). He made several bad decisions and will no longer have the opportunity to abuse, foreign or domestic.

Guy #3 had a handgun and was 3 feet away and, after pretending to surrender, certainly looked like he was going to use it when Rittenhouse fired a round that permanently "disarmed" him.

That's what I see.

Krumhorn म्हणाले...

It's hard to visualize how all this ends with a generally acceptable outcome. Since resistance by any means necessary is the leftie mantra, a Trump win in November will likely ignite the afterburners. Even a 40 state sweep that amounts to a repudiation of the lefties will just signal that they have to yell louder and even more aggressively in order to wake up the unwoke.

We don't need to speculate on the outcome of a Biden win. Sarajevo comes to mind.

Megaera म्हणाले...

There was gunfire from other sources at the time the headshot guy was dropped, and at least once source was quoted as reporting KR said he didn't shoot him. It will be interesting to see the ballistics report from the PM.

As for the pretend "medic" (pretty sure felons don't get EMS certification, even in Wisconsin, and they for sure aren't allowed to pack heat when working) I have seen not a byte of video showing him ministering to a single soul, so the whole "medic" thing seems to have been a lie for his personal benefit. Irony Alert: he was reported to be toting a tourniquet around, which the real first responders actually used on him.

Evers, and his failure to confront the situation, reminds me of the scene in the 1971 movie "Nicholas and Alexandra" when the Queen Mother Maria Fedorova visits her son in 1916 at his military headquarters to berate him for his failures to act decisively against the Central Powers and in dealing with mounting internal strife:


Queen Mother Maria Fedorova: I wish your father were alive.

Tsar Nicholas II: Don't throw him at me.

Queen Mother Maria Fedorova: He knew how to be a Tsar. He'd have burned Vienna down, stomped on the Germans, and shot the strikers, ANYTHING to give Russia peace. And HE'D certainly would've known how to deal with Rasputin.

Recently I found an old paragraph I saved, a comment by Larry Correia, paraphrasing a friend of his about political violence:

"for most people on the left political violence is a knob, and they can turn the heat up and down, with things like protests, and riots, all the way up to destruction of property, and sometimes murder… But for the vast majority of folks on the right, it’s an off and on switch. And the settings are Vote [and abide by the result, win or lose], or Shoot Fucking Everybody. And believe me, you really don’t want that switch to get flipped...."

I don't know if that's exactly right, but there's at least some truth in it. And I really don't want that switch flipped.

I still haven't seen any evidence that Rittenhouse shot Bald Napoleon. There were multiple people firing guns, I suspect one-armed medic among them, and I think at that range, Rittenhouse would have body-massed the asshole, not shot him in the head. His training is very good.

I am also wondering about the first guy who attacked him on the ground. It looks to me like Rittenhouse fires, white-pants flips over him and lands hard, then gets up and limps off. Could be from the fall, but I wonder if he took a round in the ass, and maybe suddenly remembered that it would not go well for him if the police were to run his fingerprints.

Rick म्हणाले...

Mr. Rittenhouse turns toward the sound of gunfire as another pursuer lunges toward him from the same direction. Mr. Rittenhouse then fires four times, and appears to shoot the man in the head.

Note the propaganda effort:

First encounter:

The NYT tries to imply the second person is running in response to the same trigger as Rittenhouse [RH]. In reality the second runner is chasing RH. This is provable by noting he threw something at RH. Since this fact makes the initial presentation unsupportable the NYT omits it from their description understanding the left supporters will follow their lead in pretending this didn't happen.

Second encounter:

As Mr. Rittenhouse is running, he trips and falls to the ground. He fires four shots as three people rush toward him. One person appears to be hit in the chest and falls to the ground. Another, who is carrying a handgun, is hit in the arm and runs away.

Not "as they" rush toward RH, after they rush him. Also omitted is that one attacker gives RH a flying kick which connects but not solidly (this person escapes). The second attacker hits RH with a skateboard - again not solidly - and RH shoots him afterward (this is the second fatality).

The third person had initially rushed him but paused as the second neared RH. RH pauses in return. Only after this person re-starts his movement toward RH does RH fire again (this is the arm-wound survivor).

In every instance of shooting RH was attacked while attempting to retreat.

Notice every single omission and misrepresenation by the NYT is exculpatory to Rittenhouse. Their goal is to write the narrative which best protects BLM and Dems (i.e., themselves). They have no interest in the full set of circumstances or the truth.

This is going to end up like the Sandman / Covington Kids case where the left's own videos are going to prove the media narrative wrong.

I watched the video of the confrontation down the street that proceeded the shooting. That guy was one big asshole. Didn't realize at the time he was one of the ones who ended up getting shot. Not surprising.

Matt Sablan म्हणाले...

"Matthew. I certainly wouldn’t want to disparage your young hero who just killed two people and cost another one his arm by attributing charges to him that belong to another."

-- Three adults attacked a child; I'm going to lay the blame squarely at their feet. All three of them had multiple opportunities to STOP attacking the child who continually attempted to escape them. There were hundreds of decisions, many of them bad, that put the kid in the street with those three adults. Many bad decisions made by both sides.

But the proximate bad decision was made by each of the three adult men who have a history of violent, criminal behavior, which this time, they were met with immediate consequences.

It sucks that Kyle was forced to defend himself; his parents let him down by leaving him out there alone. The governor and police let him down by ceding control to rioters. The other adults present let him down by not stopping adults chasing a kid -- and look at that kid. He does not look 17.

The last decision before Kyle's "Shoot this man" decision? For the red t-shirt guy, who we now know is a pedophile who has raped or sexually molested at least one child in the past, seemed oddly fascinated on this one, and was willing to use racist slurs on people casually while spoiling for a fight, the last decision before Kyle shot him? "Ok, this kid has ran for a block and a half from me; I've now got him cornered and he's fired a single warning shot at me. I will charge him." Bad choice. I wish he'd made a different one; he didn't.

The skateboard guy? The man who we know now has repeatedly beaten one of his domestic partners and threatened her with further violence if she testified against him? His last choice was, "OK. We have knocked this kid we have chased for over a block to the ground; I can either use this chance to de-escalate the situation, or I can attempt a killing blow with my skateboard." Well, that's wrong. After, despite being older and stronger, failing to kill the child who was on the ground with his surprise attack, he decided to wrestle with the gun -- the gun the kid pointed at him *and did not pull the trigger on.* The kid offered him a chance to back off; he chose not to take it. He could have chosen differently, and did not.

The phony medic, who surprisingly has the least disturbing background of the three? His last decision before being shot, after seeing his friend lose, despite having the jump on the kid, was: "I know I have just surrendered to this kid who has twice shown restraint when shooting, but, I will instead, hope that, after multiple blows to the head, I can use my gun to shoot the wounded child on the ground." He now will probably lose his arm.

All three of these adults were given the chance to NOT commit a deadly assault. They chose not to.

Kyle isn't a hero; he's a kid who was put in a bad decision because the adults in his life failed him; the government failed him; and three predatory adults thought they could take a kid.

LilyBart म्हणाले...

Likely he has sufficient cause for a self-defense argument.

Matt Sablan म्हणाले...

Third Coast: I'm not an expert on bullets or firearms, but the damage done to the phony medic's arm lends some weight to a less powerful weapon is what hit the man in the head. It's also possible it hit at a weird angle, that his weapon maybe misfired and didn't fire as powerful a shot, or any number of things.

The autopsy will hopefully put it to rest; the kid seems to think he shot him (judging by the audio in some of the videos), which is why I tend to think that's most likely.

The 3 shot (2 killed) in #Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot have been identified.

Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, was the first one killed. Video allegedly shows him chasing teen shooter & throwing something at him. Rosenbaum was a registered sex offender for a sex crime involving a minor.

Anthony Huber, 26, was shot & killed in Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot. He was filmed chasing down the armed teen and hitting him when he was on the ground with a skateboard. He has a criminal history that includes charges of battery & repeat domestic abuse. #KenoshaRiots

Video evidence appears to show first Kenosha shooting victim charging shooter, using N-word while taunting militia members

"As new details continue to emerge concerning a deadly confrontation between rioters and a militia group in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a new video appears to show that the first victim charged at the shooter, who appeared to be attempting to retreat behind a car, and threw an object at him.

It also appears that the first shooting victim of the bloody night may have been the same person who was caught on video before his shooting, taunting a member of an armed militia with the N-word and daring him to "Shoot me."

Earlier in the evening, shortly before the shooting, Townhall writer Julio Rosas caught video, which he posted to Twitter, of some protesters involved in an increasingly agitated discussion with members of a "militia" that was apparently present in an attempt to protect Kenosha businesses from damage caused by rioting and/or looting.

In the clip, one bald white, bearded individual who was seen wearing a maroon shirt, white sneakers, and carrying a white plastic bag begins to taunt one of the militia members (some of whom were black), saying, "shoot me, n*****!"

I knew that leftwing turd was a racist skinhead.

The kid shouldn't have traveled from Illinois to be there. Never seek out trouble. But he's a kid and kids do dumb stuff. He wanted to be a hero, defending the lives and property of the innocent.

But he's not the villain Inga clearly hates so much (because he shot at her little darlings - a pedophile and a fake medic who intended to murder the 17 year old.) Inga hates him because he dared to defend himself when attacked.

If Rittenhouse had been murdered by that "medic" - another medical person who shares Inga's morals - Inga would simply ignore the murder and consider that he got what he deserved. But Inga's leftist darlings were hurt and that makes Inga soooooo very angry!

All three of Kyle Rittenhouse's attackers were evidently in that initial scuffle at the gas station. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if they were part of the team of Hard Men that antifa uses as shock troops. If that guy who first took the flying kick at Rittenhouse on the ground after he stumbled could be identified, I wonder if he would also profile as a real bad guy.

The three perpetrators also may have been surveying the crowd of defenders at the gas station, in order to cull the herd and select individuals who might be profitably targeted. So they may have thought they could get over on the seventeen-year-old as the weakest link. Surprise, surprise, surprise!

So a rapist, a strangler, and a medic without much sense of the Hippocratic Oath, set out after one young boy, and he takes out all three of them. I'd like to buy him a non-alcoholic beverage. If he had a go fund me, if those criminals would allow it, I would be there.

Just want to add in, that this kid was with a group of adults but was separated from them by the police because he stepped away from his group and then was not allowed by the police to return. So the police threw this kid out among the Mostly Peacefuls where the Completely Peaceful police dared not go themselves without an armored car. The rest was almost inevitable - that the Fiery but Mostly Peaceful Mob, chased the kid, assaulted him, and (possibly) got shot by him, while the Peaceful police Completely Did Nothing. (It's possible that the head wound injury is not from a rifle; and it's possible that the skateboarder wrestled for the rifle and pulled the rifle to himself and pulled the trigger.) I don't think this kid's life is over - I see him as if he were my brother. I wonder why anybody thinks it was OK to separate him from his friends or to chase and assault him.

The men who lied about their age, some as young as 14 at the time, tell about how THEY spent their service years. There is never a single peep from any of the kids as they listen to what the "children" of years gone by have done to secure liberty for our country. It is a sobering moment for the 18 year olds who have had a cushy life.

So yeah. I have heard plenty of stories, all true, about how even younger boys are able to stand up for their community. So it doesn't surprise me at all that there are still young men who are willing and able.

Lacking an open thread, I'll say goodnight with the two things I'll be sure to mention to my D-leaning family and friends when asked.

1. As much as one might admire Kamalalala's record of putting tens of thousands (or more?) of young Black men behind bars as an ambitious prosecutor in the racist War on Some Drugs, there's something I just don't like about her.

B. As much as the Dims promise to continue funding the vital work of the Society for the Prevention of Infants of Color, there's something I just don't like about them.

It appears the head shot was a graze. Charging documents are out. I found a link to them earlier on google drive- but can't find it again...

Anyhow- a large part of the charging document consisted of statements Rittenhouse made to the police on scene. Now if an adult comes up to a policeman and volunteers information that could be incriminating and the policeman just listens without asking questions, it's all admissible in court.

Rittenhouse is a minor. Seems to me any statement he made, even volunteering beforehand, is going to end inadmissible because as a minor- he cannot knowingly nor unknowingly waive his right to silence. Matter of fact, once any police found he was under 18- they should have told him to shut up. In order for anything he said to be admissible- it would have to have been made with a parent, guardian, or legal representative present. Is that a correct interpretation?

Tucker got in trouble for pointing out the obvious. He said because no mayors would stand up to the violence, you now have 17 year old boys in the streets with rifles.

Boy, the liberals got mad about that.

One supposes Megaera is referring to the famous "whiff of grapeshot" incident of 13 Vendémiaire IV. By then Napoleon had been a general for nearly twenty-two months, having achieved the rank of Brigadier General on 2 Nivôse II. When he defended the Directory against a royalist mob (i.e. 18th century Bernie Bros) he was Major General Bonaparte.

At the Seige of Toulon, held by most historians to be Napoleon's first action as a commander, he was a captain of artillery.

As a former Navy Medical Officer, I can assure you that medics and corpsmen are not allowed to carry weapons, in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Only Medical Officers (doctors) are allowed to do so in order to protect their patients.

So quit referring to the pursuing handgun-equipped rioter as a "Medic;" he was an armed rioter trying to attack an opponent who (while running away from conflict) was armed with a rifle. The dude shot in the arm was hardly a "Medic."

As for the dead dude who pursued the kid and then tried to him on the head with his skateboard, I'm reminded of the words of Sean Connery in "The Untouchables:" (I'm paraphrasing here) "Ain't it just like a woke moron to bring a skateboard to a gunfight?"

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Think about it, all you enlightened, nuanced, woke progressives.

"... the defendant and Rosenbaum continue to move across the parking lot and approach the front of a black car parked in the lot."

-- The adult man chases the child. They don't "move across" the parking lot.

"A loud bang is heard on the video, then a male shouts, “Fuck you!”, then Rosenbaum appears to continue to approach the defendant and gets in near proximity to the defendant when 4 more loud bangs are heard."

-- That's a pretty clear self-defense claim. If the shot came from the kid, then he either missed or unwisely shot off a warning shot. Either way, he only fired *once.* In hopes the attack would end. The adult then decided the attack would not end. The kid, realizing he was in immediate jeopardy, ended the threat as quickly as he could. (More to come)

Matt Sablan म्हणाले...

"the defendant had moved from the middle of Sheridan Road to the sidewalk and that is when McGinnis saw a male (Rosenbaum) initially try to engage the defendant."

-- Unless the police say McGinnis is lying or wrong, this reinforces self-defense. The kid was trying desperately to avoid this adult, who we know now also was a child predator.

"McGinnis stated that the defendant pulled it away and then raised it. McGinnis
stated that right as they came together, the defendant fired."

-- Didn't realize the kid held fire THAT long. I thought he fired as soon as the attacker charged him for the last time. He actually... let the guy "come together" and almost touch his gun. That's going to be pretty hard to argue not self defense.

"Then a male in a light-colored top runs towards the defendant and appears to swing at the defendant with his right arm. This swing makes contact with the defendant, knocking his hat off."

-- The "appears to swing" is kind of cute since the next sentence is: "Yeah. Someone sucker punched the kid." Notice how they separate the "kid gets sucker punched" part of the description from "he tripped" part? It kind of removes the causal relationship between the two. More accuately, almost immediately after being sucker punched, he falls to the ground *because he had just been punched in the back of the head,* a surprise attack that very likely counts as lethal force.

"As the defendant is on the ground, an unidentified male wearing a dark-colored top and light-colored pants jumps at and over the defendant... It appears that that person was not hit as he then runs away from the defendant."

-- Another very odd way to describe someone trying to kick a man on the ground. Note the important thing here, that will be key to the kid's self defense claim. When the man turns to run away... the kid *stops firing at him.*

"When Huber reaches the defendant it appears that he is reaching for the defendant’s gun with his left hand as the skateboard makes contact with the defendant’s left shoulder."

-- That's another very round about way of saying, "Huber attempted to hit the defendant in the head and missed." They then describe how the defendant, on the ground, already hit at least once in the head, possibly more, is then wrestling with an adult man for his gun. The gun discharges, maybe the kid shot deliberately. Either way, if you wrestle with someone on the ground after trying to crack their skull open from behind... it is very hard to argue *the guy on the ground who just got sucker punched and attacked, and let the last person who attacked him and backed off go is using more force than needed when he hits you with a single shot, and doesn't fire any additional shots when you stop attacking.*

"After shooting Huber, the defendant moves to a seated position and points his gun at a third male, later identified as Gaige Grosskreutz, who had begun to approach the defendant."

-- This makes this sound like this is sequential, like a movie. No. Gaige is approaching the kid the entire time, with a gun in his hand, and looking to join the dogpile, which if the kid hadn't had a gun, would already have had two adult men beating on him, one with a skateboard. It isn't that Huber gets shot, then Gaige starts moving. Gaige is moving in to attack the entire time; he only hesitates with his hands up and gun out after Huber is shot. He then decides, screw it, and tries to kill the kid again.

This charging instrument is weak tea.

Questor: I freely admit to being less of a Bonaparte authority than you might prefer (though I will note that the Committee of Public Safety had dropped him in September from the list of generals for his refusal to serve in the Vendee, so it isn't all that obvious to me what his precise rank was when Barras sought him out in October) but my actual point about the natural consequences of unpopular civil unrest seems to me still to stand.

More white-on-white crime. Senseless, but nobody even talks about it, let alone demonstrates or organizes against it.

I think this is an unfortunate, but somewhat predictable, byproduct of six months of record unemployment. Over a million jobless claims a week 23 out of the past 24 weeks.

When they lack the means to support themselves, people find trouble. CPA membership peaked in the U.S. during the Great Depression. And criminal activity soared. Chicago had over 1,300 criminal gangs, and the police did nothing about it, for the most part. Then, as in this case, they mostly stood by and watched.

Thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims in Kenosha. No one deserves to feel such pain.

In all these riots, I keep seeing grown men with skateboards.

Well being a Baristas with a worthless SJW degree, student loans, and living in mom's basement does not generally produce the wealth a collage graduate might have expected, to afford a car and its related expenses. So greasing up the wheels of the skateboard you have owned since you were 14 is at least transportation.

Douglas B. Levene म्हणाले...

The legal issue is whether Rittenhouse was in fear of his life, that is, whether he has a self-defense claim, for either shooting. I suppose that will eventually be a jury issue, unless he pleads out.

A possibly related issue is whether Rittenhouse was violating the law by openly carrying. The NYT claims that it is a Class A misdemeanor under Wisconsin law for a 17-year-old to openly carry. What say you, Prof. Althouse? Even if that was a misdemeanor, I don't think that would affect the self-defense claim, but I'm not a Wisconsin lawyer and will defer to those who are.

All those guns. How many times have I heard that an armed society is a polite society?

How much violence was there in Kenosha the day AFTER the shooting?

What's that? None? (at least according to wikipedia: "Protests continued peacefully with chants and sidewalk art in a park near the courthouse, followed by a march. Riot police and National Guard troops did not have a visible presence. [41]")

Indeed, an armed society is a polite society. But you have to convince the impolite once in a while.

Gravel म्हणाले...

Purely anecdotal, but the number of people I have met recently who say things like "I have never wanted a gun before, but I do now" is very surprising.

Not anecdotal - over 2M people bought their very first guns in the first half of 2020.

I don't see why it can't be said, on the one hand, that the Rittenhouse fellow ought to have stayed at home etc etc and, on the other, that 'he is a hero'. I don't know that I'd use that term myself (because I don't know his motives, nor the exact sequence of that night's events etc) but they aren't necessarily mutually exclusive propositions. Circumstances make the man, sometimes.
