Kyle's classmates said he had a tendency towards violence, often threatening anyone who would dare say anything negative about his Lord Trump. Last year he was caught on video beating up a female. One of his classmates said that every time he would lose an argument he'd say "I could Screw you up" but everyone would just laugh at him because he was a little chubby piglet of a kid. Some of his classmates said they viewed him as a potential shooter just because of the way he was. But of course, none of this will be admitted into evidence at court.

Kyle wanted attention so badly and he finally got it. And two people paid for it with their lives. It is the epitome of cowardice to do what he did. Everyone is a tough guy when they're armed to the teeth and beating up little girls. You can talk as bad as you want about everyone there protesting, calling them BLM, looters, arsonists, etc, but only a few of them were actually committing crimes and NONE of the were shooting guns. It only escalated to that because mommy's little piglet couldn't handle the situation he threw himself into without killing people.
Would you mind providing some links to his classmates’ comments? It’d be an interesting read.

It appears there might be hope for some parts of the criminal justice system.

WATCH: Judge Dismisses Weapons Charge Against Kyle Rittenhouse

Judge Bruce Schroeder ruled in favor of the defense’s request to have a firearms charge against Kyle Rittenhouse dismissed in Kenosha County Court on Monday morning.

On Friday, as Breitbart News reported, Judge Scroeder appeared skeptical of the weapons charge, saying that the Wisconsin statue was unclear about exceptions for those over 16 years old but under 18 years old if the gun were a long-barreled rifle.


However, the judge did not throw out the charge, partly because he could not remember whether the length of the rifle Rittenhouse used had been introduced into evidence.

On Monday, as lawyers for the prosecution and the defense argued over the final draft of the jury instructions, the defense again raised the issue of the weapons charge, noting that the gun had been measured in court and that the police detective on the witness stand had confirmed that it was not short-barreled.

KENOSHA, WISCONSIN – NOVEMBER 02: Dominick Black, who bought Kyle Rittenhouse’s AR-15 rifle for him because Rittenhouse was underage, is shown Rittenhouse’s rifle by Kenosha Police detective Ben Antaramian during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial at the Kenosha County Courthouse on November 2, 2021 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse faces seven charges including one count each of First Degree Intentional Homicide, First Degree Reckless Homicide, and Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide after he shot three people, two of them fatally during the unrest that followed the shooting of Jacob Blake by a Kenosha police officer.

The judge then indicated that the gun ought to be measured. “If the barrel length is less than 16 inches, or an overall less than 26 inches, then I’ll deny the [defense] motion; if it does not meet those specifications, then the defense motion will be granted,” the judge said.
“We are not disputing that the barrel length is appropriate,” prosecutor James Kraus said, in a defeated tone, effectively admitting the rifle was not short barrel.

Judge Schroeder dismissed the charge. The remaining charges concern murder and attempted murder. Critics have opined that Rittenhouse’s argument that he acted in self-defense would defeat those charges, and that the weapons charge posed the only serious chance of a conviction — if the statute applied.

Having read the statute a couple of days ago, I'm not surprised. As it reads today, the statute is a mess.

I understand that people on the left don't agree with the law as it is written. But that was the law when the prosecutor pressed charges. It hasn't changed. Why would the prosecutor press charges when he knows or at least should know that the law was not violated? Is there any penalty for a prosecutor bringing a charge that should never have been brought? There's certainly plenty of damage done when a prosecutor brings charges against innocent people.

Great video that shows you have absolutely know idea what you're talking about. Again, progressives, when you guys are rioting and burning down businesses, if someone shows up with a long gun, don't chase them down. You'll end up getting shot. Duuuhh!!

This all sounds pretty accurate and predictable to me. I think he went there intending to shoot people and even kill them. I see him as a bully and a murderer. It is too bad that he will not be held legally accountable, and it is too bad that a number of the people involved, including the judge and the prosecutor, screwed things up so badly in their own way.
Great video that's helps explains that if you’re going to riot burn and loot for 3 nights, there's a chance you're going to be confronted with violence. Don't fxxxin complain when you get shot by a guy who was in fear for his life.

I should think that everyone who has some common sense does not want to encourage teenagers to travel around playing vigilante with deadly weapons. It seems to me that you might just relish the idea of Kyle seeking to kill people, succeeding in doing it, and getting off Scott free. Are you looking forward to your turn to kill people and get away with it?

Yes, of course, it is all us and them to you. "Hey, liberals, you did stupid stuff, and now you're dead. Too bad, so sad. Congratulations, Kyle Rittenhouse! You answered Trump's call to be violent with liberals, and now you are going to get away with it, as I, fellow Trumpian," think you rightly should."

Yadda yadda wank wank.

Hey, I agree with you that rioting is not a good idea. I agree that charging a guy who has a loaded AR-15 is stupid.

But so, too, is being a young and dumb and full of cum little creep bully who gets off on being part of the armed Trump brigade and looks to kill liBruLZ.

If you think anyone here looks like a hero or a victim, then you're the one with a problem.
