I believe at age 17, it was illegal for Rittenhouse to be carrying a loaded weapon without
a person of legal age to be with him.
I don't believe running through the streets with a loaded weapon was legal either.
That came up at the end, and WI law states your barrel as to be a certain size for for minors. The length was legal for his age according to WI law. The short barrel guns are restricted, and his wasn't short barreled. I believe that area is also open carry.
If I were guessing? WI has plenty of very rural areas in which you may need a weapon against animals and what not. No doubt that was part of the thinking when the law was written. You have to take into account the population where the law is.
Right now I think we'll see a hung jury when it comes to deciding on the case of
murder.
BTW, the judge should've prevented Al Sharpton and other black activists
from entering the courtroom, thereby making the Jurors feel threatened if
they voted wrong.
From what I heard while listening to the trial while we were catching up on projects? Rittenhouse has a pretty good chance of acquittal. I was actually surprised at HOW MUCH the media had got wrong about this case so far, and now that the trial is over? Keep repeating it even though it has been debunked.
I mean I had NO idea Mr. Bicep guy was carrying a gun that night. He also lied to the police, and wasn't cooperative either. In his video that night? He called Kyle a proud boy, etc - the extremist groups we hear about. Come to find out? They went though his social media, phone, etc and found nothing there. Yet, Mr. Bicep guy was affiliated with extreme groups himself. What threw me? When the DA told the jury that just because Mr. Bicep guy pointed a gun at Rittenhouse's head? He shouldn't have shot him, because Rittenhouse's gun was bigger. I mean ???? what??!
I think your last comment has to do with the court base in Georgia. Al Sharpton is there - not in Wisconsin.
