Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”

    LMAO no they wouldn’t! They chased Rittenhouse down as he fled! No jury on Earth would consider what they did self-defense, you’re completely out of your mind.

    Personal attacks. And of course they chased down the guy waving a gun around.

    She was walking around with a skimpy outfit, she knew what was going to happen.’

    False analogy. Rape is never justified, stopping a gunman is.

    Wisconsin is an open carry state.

    What might technically be lawful is not always sensible.

    Loaded question; it DOESN’T work both ways, especially not when there is only one aggressor.

    Showing up to a riot with a gun is aggressive by its nature. Just like if I stood with a gun in front of your house at all hours.

      • He didn’t “wave a gun around”
      • attacking someone unprovoked just because they are armed, especially when legally so, is ALSO never justified
      • existing while armed is not intrinsically aggressive/provocative, no matter how much you insist it is. Rittenhouse did literally nothing that even remotely merited the murder attempted on him thrice that day.

        I saw the video. He waved a gun around.

        Waving a gun around is always provoking.

        Waving a gun around is intrinsically aggressive and provocative, no matter how much you insist that it isn’t. Rittenhouse did literally everything wrong that merited the disarming attempt on him thrice that day.
