US gun laws are remarkably stupid. which is why they have many more guns deaths per million than more advanced industrial countries.
And, of course, Rittenhouse was found NOT GUILTY on ALL charges left after the gun charge was dismissed. Like DecayedBrainMatter the prosecution failed to present a SINGLE piece of evidence to support their claims, but did present a lot of evidence supporting Rittenhouse\'s self-defense claim.
Rittenhouse wouldn\'t have had any need to defend himself if he hadn\'t been wandering around carrying a rifle in the middle of a riot. It was a particularly silly piece of provocation, and entirely pointless. He didn\'t end up defending any property at all, and killed two people and badly damaged a third to no advantage to anybody.

Hey Sloman, this falls into the category of \"So what?\" Rittenhouse wasn\'t charged with stupidity (most people would agree he was stupid to do what he did and there is no law against that); he was charged with two counts of first degree murder, among other lesser charges. These charges were totally without merit, which is why he was found to be NOT GUILTY. What you are saying is the equivalent of accusing a woman of inviting rape by dressing provocatively.

Far from it. A woman is entitled to dress any way she likes, and that never gives anybody the right to rape her.

Wandering around carrying a rifle in the middle of a riot is much more provocative, and Rittenhouse shouldn\'t have done it.

It\'s definitely an action likely to disturb the peace - not that there\'s a whole lot of peace around in the middle of a riot - and likely to lead to the lethal confrontations that it did. It is unfortunate that the prosecution didn\'t charge Rittenhouse under a law where they could get ac onviction.

There may not be any law against being stupid, but there are lots of laws about not being stupid in ways that lead to people ending up dead. Flying an aircraft when you\'ve got advanced senile dementia would be one of them.

A retarded kid with an illegally acquired gun walking down the street

It was murder.

Interesting analogy - the judge denied the admission of an amount of
\"character\" evidence to the effect that Rittenhouse was essentially a
\"bad person\" (he is), and had hung around with Proud Boys, enjoyed chats
with violent thugs on the Internet, and stuff like that.

And the chances he\'ll show up in court again down the road for some
other violent crime are very good, but yeah that\'s somewhat beside the
point.

Conversely in rape trials evidence about the woman\'s \"character\" is
often regularly admitted, where was she going, what was she doing,
what\'s her sexual history like, does she have a history of promiscuity? etc.

If it were common for all judges in the US to treat the prosecution with
the same amount of contempt and derision as the judge did in this case,
the US legal system would be way better. Fat chance of that, though.

Rittenhouse\'s self-defense claim.
Rittenhouse wouldn\'t have had any need to defend himself if he hadn\'t
been wandering around carrying a rifle in the middle of a riot. It
was a particularly silly piece of provocation, and entirely
pointless. He didn\'t end up defending any property at all, and killed
two people and badly damaged a third to no advantage to anybody.

Hey SNIPPERMAN, this falls into the category of \"So what?\" Rittenhouse
wasn\'t charged with stupidity (most people would agree he was stupid
to do what he did and there is no law against that); he was charged
with two counts of first degree murder, among other lesser charges.
These charges were totally without merit, which is why he was found to
be NOT GUILTY. What you are saying is the equivalent of accusing a
woman of inviting rape by dressing provocatively.


Interesting analogy - the judge denied the admission of an amount of
\"character\" evidence to the effect that Rittenhouse was essentially a
\"bad person\" (he is), and had hung around with Proud Boys, enjoyed chats
with violent thugs on the Internet, and stuff like that.

And the chances he\'ll show up in court again down the road for some
other violent crime are very good, but yeah that\'s somewhat beside the
point.

Conversely in rape trials evidence about the woman\'s \"character\" is
often regularly admitted, where was she going, what was she doing,
what\'s her sexual history like, does she have a history of promiscuity?
etc.

If it were common for all judges in the US to treat the prosecution

To be more clear, the state DA\'s office in general.

Wandering around carrying a rifle is \"defending property\"? In his fantasy world, maybe.

An unexpected bad outcome does not condemn to original purpose.

The outcome should have been expected. Rittenhouse wouldn\'t have bothered wandering around in the middle of riot carrying a rifle if he didn\'t expect to provoke a reaction. Killing people isn\'t a great way to pacify rioters. Individual rioters don\'t do much after they are dead, but the rest of the mob gets even more upset.

Kent State isn\'t recorded as a triumph for crowd control.

It might have been \"honorable\" from his half-witted point of view, but it was never going to do anything remotely useful, and it was not a good idea.

Exactly. Some riots are lot more violent and destructive than others. Rittenhouse made his riot more deadly than it would otherwise have been.

There may not be any law against being stupid,

** Or rabid fuckwits like you would be in jail right now.

Probably not. The same law would have completely filled up the jails with people like you and Flyguy long before they got around to me.

I might get a caution for provoking an irritable twit like you, but the courts would probably be much too busy to bother.

I wonder if CNN, MSNBC, et al, will now be compensating him like they did Sandmann. lol

Maybe, but it\'s far from a slam dunk. All Sandmann did was stand there
while a professional agitator walked up and yelled in his face.

On the other hand, Rittenhouse killed a couple of guys and wounded a
third. The prosecution clearly failed to prove their case against him,
but the two situations are pretty different.
