Kenosha II

1. The kid is not "of age" to open carry in Wisconsin.

2. He crossed state lines for what purpose, exactly? That could speak to intent.

However, that said, once he's there, I have to wonder how many of his actions were justified. Getting hit from behind is certainly an assault with battery, and he probably has the right to defend himself.

As the NRO article says, though, what was his intent on being there in the first place, and were were the parents.

||And we know, don't we, based on James Comey's comments, that "intent" has nothing to do with the liability for prosecution.

I'm sorry, I had to go there.||

Some serious charges.

Rittenhouse, from Antioch, Illinois, is facing six charges in Wisconsin, the most serious of which is first-degree intentional homicide. Under Wisconsin law, Rittenhouse is charged as an adult, and he would face life in prison if convicted of the first-degree intentional homicide charge.

Rittenhouse also faces charges of first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and one count of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.

He’s getting tried as an adult on the homicide charge yet still facing another charge based on being under age.

Look at that kid. He’s going to be somebody’s bitch that’s for sure.

[Kincaid]

I doubt he serves time based on him defending himself.

Pretty sure he is one of those kids that has long wanted to join the military or wanted to be a police officer (he was somehow a self-described trained "EMT" at 17 years old). He is also probably the exact kind of kid you don't want in the police force due to visions of grandeur, etc.

[Kincaid]

He is a good shot though.

[jon-nyc]

Did his mom really drive him there?

I’ve seen that mentioned but the more trustworthy sites don’t mention how he got there one way or another.

Have you ever seen a more smug punchable face?

Questions are all logistics, legal assumptions, outcome possibilities.

We've grown cold.

Showing up to a riot with a rifle is an act of war, but then a riot is an act of war.

Every morning while shaving.

Go for it, Jon. Punch the mirror for once!
