Would an AR do this?

Who knows what the truth is?


https://heavy.com/news/2020/08/kyle-rittenhouse/

This site usually is pretty spot on. It looks pretty cut and dried. He felt a calling to go and protect the city from arsonists and looters. Kid seems to be a strong police backer, and there's no race angle indicated.

Before the incident, he was with a group of people scrubbing blm graffiti off of buildings, and then was interviewed about his specific intentions. He said he's there to protect property from rioters.

Looks like this is just a kid that opted to step up and defend....and the mob predictably attacked him. If you watch the videos, the kid showed poise under pressure. He actively tried to retreat from the threat, and even when he fell and was surrounded, he tactically fired only on the immediate threats, the people who physically attacked and threatened him. Skater boy hit him first with the board, a deadly weapon. One armed Lefty pulled a Glock on our kid.

This kid was not only justified in shooting the two attackers, he's a friggen' hero. We sit here in our homes and watch the rioters destroy city after city, like locusts, and bitch about it. This kid strapped up and idealistically said, "not on my watch." He was there to defend. And now the leftist politicians, police, and D.A.'s are going to crucify him. It's infuriating.


The NRA, GOA, JPFA, etc. need to step up and give this kid the best legal representation money can buy. And when he is acquitted, he needs to sue the rioters who attacked him, and the city of Kenosha/county for malicious prosecution. This kid should never have to work again after he gets done suing all the people who literally and figuratively tried to end his life, for doing nothing more than trying to stop rioters.

Default Update: Lin Wood, Lawyer for Nick Sandmann, will Help Represent the Kenosha Kid

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...sharingbuttons


This is good news. This will be a Lin Woods and Friends dream team. Hopefully after they get the charges dismissed or Kyle is found innocent, they go after the money, from the rioters who tried to kill him, from Kenosha who is actively pursing a malicious prosecution, and from the news media who have already edited the many videos out there of Kyle defending himself from imminent death to make Kyle out to be some murderous, racist right winger.


I hope after all this settles out, Kyle will never have to work again.

This is what happens when people start getting fed up with their cities being systematically destroyed by angry mobs, many of whom have no dog in the fight. Those protesting would be wise to put an end to it, as the other side is better armed and when angered...well...look up Admiral Yamamoto's quote.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer felon. Wonder if the guy is asking himself if it was worth losing a softball size chunk of his arm for what he was doing. But then, convicted felon so clearly not a critical thinker.

It had been first reported that he was part of the mob. Either way, he should have stayed at home. Where were his parents in all of this? If either of my sons even hinted that they were going to cross state lines, or hell, county lines for that matter, and arm up to "try and help"..oh hell no. No part of it was a good idea. If it comes to a point where society totally goes to shit, I'll be all in, but yeah, I don't think I would arm up and go to Atlanta from here "to help". Do these rioters all deserve to be shot, well, I think so, but let's be a bit smarter than them.

I'm really surprised we haven't seen someone like the guy in Las Vegas that opened up on the crowd from a hotel window. He knew he was going to die and did not care.

Don't get me wrong, if it was up to me, every last one of those pieces of shit would be mowed down in a hail of gun fire, just like they deserve, but well, it ain't up to me.

That doesn't look like the wound I saw in the various videos I've seen, but if so then there is virtually no way that came from an AR-15 round. Also the New York Times (of all outlets) reported that prior to the first guy getting shot in the head, a fellow rioter fired a handgun into the air, which Kyle was running away from. Then the pedo felon guy took a round to the noggin, and actually even that wound didn't look like something an AR-15 would do. Perhaps if it was actually a .22lr "AR-15" but I'd think his brains would have been scrambled and the back of his head exploded from a 5.56 round at point blank range. It could be that it just skimmed his brain and went out the back of his skull cleanly.

At any rate, this kid was known to the police prior to these shootings, was with a "militia" who apparently the police didn't have any problem with, and this was pretty clear self defense in all three shootings if he was the actual shooter for each one.

I imagine forensics can answer a lot of questions, but media bias and politics will likely keep the public from knowing the truth.

Ah, the reason the first guy's head wound wasn't more obvious was because he just got grazed with that shot, the two fatal ones were a shot to the groin (ouch) and one in the back that got his lung/liver. But how fitting that the pedophile felon got shot right in the dick.

What I don't understand is why Mr. "oops, I'm suddenly missing a big chunk of my arm" isn't under arrest for illegally possessing a firearm, and whatever charges are appropriate for attacking the kid and pointing his pistol at him.
