How is Kyle Rittenhouse's mom not in jail

[Boydog]

Buying an assault rifle for an underage teen and transporting him across state lines after which he murders two people.

[jimfields33]

1. Where are you getting this? Provide link please.

[whathehell]

3. I don't know if she bought the rifle for him, but the fact

that she drove him across state lines to the protest was part of the original reports.

[jimfields33]

4. Oh my goodness. You do know his father live in the town.

How awful she’d drive him to see Dad.

[whathehell]

14. Oh my goodness...I can't imagine why

he'd be packing an AR 15 to visit Dad...You do know she's been all over Fox News saying her baby boy is being "slandered" or some such, right?
.

[jimfields33]

15. Wow. Really? You really read that she drove him with an automatic weapon in the car?

[whathehell]

17. Wow..Really! Yes,.I read that!

As did many other people, obviously.
It may have been misreported by the media, but these were the initial reports.

[jimfields33]

19. Well I'm reading this thread full of DUers and I trust their findings.

[whathehell]

20. Well, goody for you..

As I did say, the story may have been misreported in the media, but the initial reports were that she drove him -- I'm quite okay with the idea that I was misled.

[BlackSkimmer]

27. No, she didn't drive him there with his stupid gun.

The gun was bought by a friend in Wisconsin, which is where the gun was kept. The friend is facing charges for this.

Furthermore, his father lives there in that town, barely 30 minutes from where the punk killer lives.

[whathehell]

70. Okay.

I do know where Kenosha and Antioch are, living in Illinois about 30 minutes away from both.

[BlackSkimmer]

32. Where did you read that?

I read it here, but nowhere else.

I’ve learned not to believe much of what I read here.

[whathehell]

69. I read it

in the "mass media", somewhere, as did my husband..It was a year or so ago and I can't remember exactly.where.

[tblue37]

41. He didn't bring the gun. His friend stored it for him at his house in Wisconsin.

[whathehell]

65. Okay, thanks for the info. ..n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Wrong. False.

She did NOT drive him to the protest.

She drove him back home after his panicked call "I shot two people". But not from home to the protest.

[Boydog]

38. He was 17. He could not have bought it. He pretty much does not have a relationship with his father.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

56. His friend bought it. You too can use google. Duh. Self-delete your FAKE BOGUS OP. . . nt

[whathehell]

67. Interesting

because he supposedly went to Kenosha to see his father and referred to Kenosha as "my dad's community".

[tblue37]

39. She didnt. His friend bought it.

[whathehell]

66. Got it. n/t.

[Yarnie]

2. This has been discussed here before . . .

1) She didn't buy him the gun. He gave the $$$ to a friend in Wisconsin, who bought it and stored it.
2) She didn't drive him to Kenosha.

[doc03]

5. There is another one, is his friend that bought

the gun for him in jail? It is illegal to purchase a gun for
someone else. Of course if he bought it at a gun show or
a guy in the alley that's ok.

[Yarnie]

7. I think the friend is facing charges

specifically for that.

[doc03]

10. Good. nt

[NickB79]

26. Yep. Straw purchase is a serious felony

When I worked the gun counter at Gander Mountain, I had to call my manager over a few times because of guys blatantly trying to do it.

And Kyle is on record saying he used his stimulus check to buy that AR through his friend.

[Hav]

33. I think his friend will spent a way longer sentence

in prison than Rittenhouse.

[Boydog]

40. Ok where did he get the money

I’m guessing his mom is a major enabler

[tblue37]

43. He used his stimulus check.

[Boydog]

44. Which was sent to his mother with his being a minor

[Bernardo de La Paz]

58. So? You are against mothers giving their children money the government owes them?

Presumably you have a point about his mother giving him HIS money. But it must be a weak point for you to disruptively not state it.

[Yarnie]

48. He had a job

Lots of 17-year olds earn $$$ enough to buy stuff.

[tiredtoo]

6. Just an FYI here

She did not buy him the gun. She did not give him a ride to Kenosha. She did however, raise this killer.

[ms liberty]

11. This right here. n/t

[Busterscruggs]

36. It should be a crime

To raise a RWNJ for a son. It's child abuse and neglect to raise a kid to turn out this way. If he was raised properly, he wouldn't feel the blood thirst and have been marching with all of the rest of the peaceful protesters against police brutality against unarmed African Americans

[Yarnie]

49. Are you willing to be

that judgmental about every working, single mother whose kid(s) get in trouble?

Sometimes, despite the very best efforts of the parents, kids don't turn out the way their mothers wish.

[Boydog]

42. If she did not take him to Wisconsin, she is still responsible for his whereabouts because of his be

I think they both should be held responsible

[Yarnie]

50. Oh, please

Did your mother know where you were every minute when you were 17?

[BlackSkimmer]

8. She did neither of those things.

Numerous threads have debunked this belief.

[UnderThisLaw]

9. Sometimes we don't get

the answers we seek from the posters we wish wish to hear them from

[Chille]

12. another misinformation

She didn't drive him, he stayed at a friends house and another friend bought him the gun. oy

She did state if she had known she would have tried to stop him

[forthemiddle]

13. She is not in jail

Because nothing you have written is true.
For a message board filled with people who pride themselves with knowing the facts. And filled with people who rail on Republicans who believe falsehoods spread by social media (or Fox News for that matter), I can not believe the amount of times people have to be told that Kyle NEVER crossed State lines with a gun. Kyle’s Mom DID NOT drive him to the protest. Kyle’s Mom DID NOT buy him the gun!
And I will add one more that is believed by many. The men that Kyle shot were white men, this was not the case of a white man shooting a black man.

[BlackSkimmer]

28. This.

But obviously some prefer the narrative that keeps getting pushed here.

[Hav]

34. There is so much misinformation that won't go away

for this case.
But what's worse, posters that point out the false claims or bs takes get insulted as being members of DU's Rittenhouse fan club.

[Boydog]

73. And you are

[Boydog]

45. Are you defending Rittenhouse

[Hav]

46. What a strange reply

I propose that you read the post again and just process the information that was given without looking for any narrative, without any judgment on the case. That post only corrected several false claims that have been going around since that event happened without even remotely voicing an opinion on the shootings or taking a stance on any of the charges of that case.

[forthemiddle]

53. No just stating facts

Something this board used to pride itself on doing.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

60. This "board" still does; witness the universal condemnation of Boydog's Original Lying Post. . nt

[forthemiddle]

61. Thank you

You are correct, I just got frustrated from the posters reply to me. Thanks for sticking up for me in your other post.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

57. We have trials because of people like YOU who have to be brung up short to see the REAL facts

The reason for courts and trials is to bring out the facts and the law.

Juries are triers of fact, judges are triers of law.

There are altogether too many people ready to convict AND PUNISH innocent accused because they don't have the facts.

Then there are people who make it difficult to APPRISE them of the facts.

The latter embroil themselves in long difficult threads stemming from spreading bogus information.

Even NOW it would be a good time to self-delete your ORIGINAL POST.



As to the

Are you defending Rittenhouse

that is just plain DISRUPTIVE and not a valid form of argument in civilized debate.

It does not apply to the issue of what the facts are.

It ignores the fundamental principle that defendants are given full opportunity for defense in courts of law.

It less than useless to ask that bogus question.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

78. Reading comprehension problem?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. You are wrong. Your claims are not truth, not facts. Please SELF-DELETE your OP. .. . .. nt

[maxsolomon]

54. It keeps being repeated on DU by low-count posters.

It doesn't make me suspicious at all...

[Tomconroy]

18. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend!

[Sympthsical]

31. We have gone full Liberty Valance

One should never go full Liberty Valance.

[EX500rider]

35. Haha!

[Igel]

47. Yeah, because firing a gun with your eyes closed ...

Such a great idea.

Okay, those were blanks, and he's an actor. Firing blanks.

[demmiblue]

21. Gee, I am so surprised that you posted fake news.

[Ohio Joe]

22. To be fair...

The OP lost Garland to complain about.

[marble falls]

23. ..... snicker .....

[Boydog]

74. I was one of about a gazillion people who

were truly concerned that Garland was not going to act on Bannon. I’m just trying to recall when I saw anything of merit on here that you posted and I’m not coming up with anything. You mostly just bitch about what others say.

[Ohio Joe]

75. And those people admitted they were wrong...

You just doubled down and found another way to complain about him.

[Boydog]

76. I said all along that Garland was a preeminent legal scholar

and has impeccable character. I am not doubling down on any criticism of him. The wait just made me nervous.

[BlackSkimmer]

29. Lol, and people on this thread whinging to learn their belief in this canard is wrong.

What was it Jack Nicholson’s character said?

[Yarnie]

51. "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" n/t

[BlackSkimmer]

62. Well no, I was thinking of a different movie lol. nt

[USALiberal]

25. A lot of inaccurate information, self delete!

[Sympthsical]

30. Jesus Christ n/t

[question everything]

37. If I remember correctly, the mother of the Sandy Hook shooter - Adam Lanza?

started getting him guns, not sure about assault weapons, to get him interested in something..

[Yarnie]

52. And she didn't even live to regret it,

because he killed her in her sleep.

[MineralMan]

55. Uh, because neither of the things you wrote are true?

Could that be it?

[XRubicon]

59. B8

[BootinUp]

63. lol nt

[iemanja]

64. How many times do people have to point out that this isn't true?

Or is the truth completely irrelevant to you?

[BlackSkimmer]

71. Par for the course I'm afraid. nt

[Captain Stern]

68. Better question.."How is this OP still here?"

Damn, let's at least acknowledge some facts...even if you don't bring them out.

[ThomasPayneBacon]

72. She should have been a witness too.

Stupid cur did break the law. She complained about her son being on trial to reporters. She should have been told the Liz Cheney line, U FN did this. Why inept prosecutors did not call her as a witness is beyond belief.

[gopiscrap]

77. welcome to DU

[BlackSkimmer]

79. Please elaborate on how she broke the law.

We’ll wait.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

80. Question?

Why haven't you deleted this false info yet?
It's been pointed out to you numerous times that this is bullshit yet you refuse to correct or delete it.
Very interesting.
