Kyle Rittenhouse - hero

[IWalkAlone]

If you had read further you'll see where I posted his testimony.
How Rittenhouse used his stimulus check having his then 18 year old friend to by the gun for him, and supposedly held on to it. Even posted pictures of him in with his gun, most which have been taken down from the internet. Who can say as an absolute truth the gun wasn't in the car with him when he crossed the state line. As an absolute I can't say it was and I can't say it wasn't but I can post my beliefs.

how can you judge someone for something you can't prove?

Well you said: "Such as when 3 people who defended themselves against a black guy (Ahmaud Arbery) who tried to grab a shotgun and shoot people who simply wanted to ask him a question?" And that had a horrible subtext. Check yourself.

Nothing to check. The MSM has routinely referred to the Arbery case as---well, see for yourself. It's always 3 white men and the black man. If you don't like it, take it up with the MSM that delivers your news:

"(CNN)Those demanding justice for Ahmaud Arbery want another conviction beyond the three White men found guilty of murdering the 25-year-old Black jogger running in their south Georgia neighborhood in 2020.
Conviction of Ahmaud Arbery's killer's puts new focus on first prosecutor - CNN

"The three white men who chased down and killed Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man who was jogging through their Georgia neighborhood last year, were all found guilty of murder charges."

Just because those attacking him were in the wrong doesn't make everything he did right.

True in the abstract, but this was a very clear case of an innocent man defending himself from criminals.

And someone else can believe that you drove Kyle across state lines and gave him the AR15 with the blessing to kill white BLMers. And that's how you know the truth.

Just because there is no evidence and it's crazy doesn't stop people from believing it.

Not innocent. He shares some of the responsibility for those that died.

Not as much as those who died share responsibility for their violent criminal behavior that got themselves shot.

No one in that situation were saints, no matter how you or anyone else try and spin it.

h//www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/opinion

It is my view/opinion _ my belief - and my right to have a view opinion and belief. By law I have not *Carried out* judgment upon this person, condemned sentence. And half of America feels as I do - how could they? Reminds me of atheist stating to Christians why have belief in Christ, in God, in angels, in the devil, when there is no proof.

Not even understanding your statement. I don't know what world you live in but people do some extremely weird - extremely strange - extremely off deep things - and something like what you wrote above makes more sense than some of the things I've heard of people doing. One thing is for sure the 18 year old purchase the gun for Rittenhouse, there is a record of that purchase.

Legally - no, that has already been decided

Morally - depends on who is the judge

 

[Peter J Barban]

No one in that situation were saints, no matter how you or anyone else try and spin it.

Except for Saint Kyle.

But seriously, Kyle did not break any laws that night, nor did he have any observable sins. All people have against him is based on mind-reading attempts based on personal bias.

As far as anyone can show, Kyle did absolutely nothing wrong that night.

Kyle is not a hero. He put himself in a bad situation which resulted in 2 deaths.

My opinion of him was raised by this:

https://www.christianforums.com/threads/n-ce-aldebaran-12-3-21.8231566/#post-76393731

Rittenhouse was a guest on the right-wing podcast “You Are Here” on Monday night. During the appearance, co-host Sydney Watson told him that the killings were “kind of impressive” and that “of all the people that you shot at, you killed probably two of the worst on the planet.”...

“Congratulations,” Watson told Rittenhouse. “Good job, you.”

"It's nothing to be congratulated about,” Rittenhouse responded. “Like, if I could go back, I wish I would never have had to take somebody’s life."

Rittenhouse went on to explain that he has regrets about going to Kenosha that evening.
“Well, hindsight being 20/20, probably not the best idea to go down there,” Rittenhouse said. “Can’t change that. But I defended myself and that’s what happened.”

Kyle Rittenhouse Responds to LeBron James Tweet: 'F-ck You'

Not something one usually says in an interview. One's true character always manages to come through. How old is he now? And far too many people agree with that type of behavior and will make excuses for it.

Recently acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero. Not because he killed people - self-defense almost by definition cannot be heroic.

No, Kyle is a hero for two other noteworthy actions.

First, he placed himself in danger to protect his community - which was under attack. He defied the bullies and thugs who caused millions of dollars of damage to the poorer-multiracial quarter of Kenosha in order to protect property, put out fires, clean up graffiti and render emergency medical aid to any in need (including the rioters).

Second, even when attacked by multiple members of a hostile mob, he used the minimum force necessary to protect his life. He showed such restrain that even combat veterans said that they would have done as well if they were in Kyle's shoes. Attacked by a coordinated mob assault, wounded multiple times, concussed and afraid, he continually avoided confrontation until it was impossible as he retreated to surrender to the police.

Perhaps he went there with naive notions of being a "do-gooder", but when the government ordered the police to stand down and let the down-trodden take a beating in the name of social justice, Kyle possessed the essential Christlike quality of agape love: suffering the benefit of others.
