The kid needs to serve a little time in prison for what he has done. He went looking for trouble in a town twenty miles away from home with a firearm he was not legally allowed to own at 17. He shot three people. Two died.

Should he not be punished whatsoever, he will be George Zimmerman 2.0 and we will hear about him again soon (not in a good way). Just my opinion.

That being said, I am a staunch 2nd amendment advocate.
I agree to an extent. It was not his responsibility to be there or to protect business. It was vigilantism.
It was not. A vigilante pursues the trouble. KR stood in the way of the trouble. It's an entirely different motivation.

    The judge has banned calling the dead "victims". Absurd use of PC thinking. And having the courtroom applaud a witness on the stand is textbook impermissible comment on the weight of the evidence.

    The trial is being held to determine their status. They aren't victims if the shootings were justified.

    No. The trial is to determine the guilt/innocence of the defendant. That much is obvious, or should be.

    One survivor is available to be tried as something other than a victim; he has not been charged with anything.

    Disagree. Their status as "victim" necessitates the implication that a crime has been committed. It is a fine line, but I am ok with the exclusion of the use of the term in this case since if the three shot men were aggressors from which KR was defending himself, there were not victims.

    Whether or not a witness has been charged with a crime separate from the acts for which the defendant is being tried at trial does not have any bearing to me.
    When you are trying to kill someone and they shoot you in the act of you trying to kill or maim them, you are not a victim.

    He didn't attempt to engage in #3. He merely tried to stand in the way of destroying. He didn't attempt to arrest anyone or enforce any laws.

    A police officer who prevents arson would be upholding the law. That's exactly what Rittenhouse says he was attempting. You're absolutely wrong here.

    He did that in addition to preventing them. This doesn't have to be as hard as you're trying to make it. Just admit you're wrong and move on.

    Edit: for clarity, I'm referring to my previous comment. He had a gun to prevent fires, and a fire extinguisher to put them out.

    I 100% agree with you. The state of Wisconsin, in bringing this case, seems to have a different view.

    Shameful that a government entity would abandon / refuse to carry out one of its core functions and then prosecute a citizen caught in a bad situation (or series of situations) while tying to mitigate the damage resulting from that abdication by government.

    You're even more bitter now. Maybe you should just stay away from the trial.

    You brought up a rule of procedure, surely you can say which one.

    You've been an ass on this board for more than two months, surely you can take a break and act like an adult.


    So you don't know which rule of procedure? That you wanted to piously cite?

    No, actually, I have no idea which rule you're talking about. You brought it up, you should cite it.

    If I was wrong, the judge would not be considering the mistrial motion.

    Come on quash, you know full well that before the jury is seated the judge discusses what will and will not be admitted into evidence. The Prosecutor repeatedly tried to use things the judge barred.

    That's been plain for days now.

    So, you have deliberately pretended a universal rule of procedure was not violated here. Hence, you have demonstrated contempt not only for the intelligence of the members of this forum, but also for your own profession.

    Hence, you deserve contempt, nothing better.

    As I posted some time back, only without the detail now presented.

    Yet you imagine you are seen as mature and in control, like a variation of Mr. Bean.

    The difference being that Rowan Atkins only plays at being a buffoon, and is well aware of his act.

    You quash. do not seem to be aware of your divorce from rational analysis,
    That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

    The prosecution has bungled their case beyond anything I expected, and their recent behavior indicates they are hoping for a mistrial and effectively a do-over.

    I agree. No one wants to be seen as having unilaterally "decided" the case. The prosecution has bungled their case beyond anything I expected, and their recent behavior indicates they are hoping for a mistrial and effectively a do-over.

    I do not believe the judge will give the prosecution that gift. He wants the jury to decide, but if the prosecution's behavior makes a mistrial unavoidable, I think the judge will make sure there is no sequel to this trial.

    I believe the prosecution knows they will lose the decision, but want to make it about the judge to limit damage to their careers.

    no way they bring this case back to trial if it gets tossed. They are getting hammered in court and they wont win now or the next time..

    The kid needs to serve a little time in prison for what he has done. He went looking for trouble in a town twenty miles away from home with a firearm he was not legally allowed to own at 17. He shot three people. Two died.

    Should he not be punished whatsoever, he will be George Zimmerman 2.0 and we will hear about him again soon (not in a good way). Just my opinion.

    That being said, I am a staunch 2nd amendment advocate.
    I agree to an extent. It was not his responsibility to be there or to protect business. It was vigilantism.
    It was not. A vigilante pursues the trouble. KR stood in the way of the trouble. It's an entirely different motivation.

    Looks like we are both correct

    My goodness, thanks for posting a definition that aligns EXACTLY with what I just posted. I see you are conceding the point. Well done. Points for intellectual honesty.
    I said we were both correct. Look at #3


    He didn't attempt to engage in #3. He merely tried to stand in the way of destroying. He didn't attempt to arrest anyone or enforce any laws.

    Thanks for your concession.
    A police officer who prevents arson would be upholding the law. That's exactly what Rittenhouse says he was attempting. You're absolutely wrong here.
    Kyle tried to put out the fires. An officer would arrest the arsonist.
    He did that in addition to preventing them. This doesn't have to be as hard as you're trying to make it. Just admit you're wrong and move on.
    Please provide video of Kyle attempting to arrest ANYONE. Or, admit you're wrong and move on.

    Oops that was unclear. I was referring to my comment, not his. I'm aware he didn't try to arrest anyone. I meant he both tried to put out fires, and prevent them.

    Got it. I thought that claim was a little fast and loose for your style.
    Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

    To uphold the law (aka enforce) requires action or engagement. You are just flat out wrong. You called him a vigilante and you're trying to crawfish away from the actual definition.

    Yeah, a 17 year old steps in after 3 days of the police and local government allowing the destruction of the city where he works and his dad lives. He was outnumbered and knew very few people, but he did was was right anyway and almost died because of it. That's bravery. That's honor. The trash who riot every time a black criminal gets themselves shot by police aren't heroes. The politicians and media who provoked the attacks aren't heroes. The Monday morning hindsight 20/20 quarterbacks aren't heroes. Yes, Kyle is a hero.
