The Statement

@Larry said in The Statement:
- It is legal to own and carry a rifle.
- Why he was carrying a rifle is none of the law's business.
- Why he was in the area is none of the law's business.
Open carry is legal in Wisconsin if you're more than 18 years old.
He's 17, and that's a misdemeanor.

According to news reports he was charged with “possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18” which is a felony. One of 6 felony charges he faces.

Wow, the fact that the gun was illegally in his possession fucks him on every single charge.

All I know is what I saw listed as his charges. I don’t know how the law works in practice.
Google “rittenhouse charges” and see for yourself.

I did. The first link - “ Rittenhouse is accused of killing Anthony Huber, 26, of Silver Lake; and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, of Kenosha. The Illinois teenager also faces felony charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, and a misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.”

Yep. My link has it as a misdemeanor.
Funny, when I posted that to George all I had read was this Foxnews piece:
https://www.foxnews.com/us/charges-filed-rittenhouse-kenosha-shootings
Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley filed the charges against Kyle Rittenhouse, which include one count of first-degree intentional homicide; one count of first-degree reckless homicide; one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide; two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment and one count of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18, all felonies, according to court records obtained by Fox News.

Jon, you're reading Fox News and driving a Vette.
You're coming around guy, you just don't realize it yet.
Next thing you know, you'll start looking at polished cowboy boots, maybe start shaving like every 4-5 days only, get a pair of those expensive Gucci sunglasses, baseball cap with "Earn It" on the front, swiss army knife on your keychain, wallet made out of alligator hide, eat ribs for breakfast, find Ax confusing, learn to spit.We'll keep working at it. Only a matter of time.
