He deserves life in prison without parole, but he does not deserve the needle. totodeinhere Aug 2020 #5
Your opinion and you're entitled to it. Not mine. AZ8theist Aug 2020 #8
Of course. I did not mean to imply that you are not entitled to your opinion. totodeinhere Aug 2020 #13
You are certainly entitled to that opinion Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #14
"How many innocent people is it okay to murder in order to punish the guilty?" AZ8theist Aug 2020 #95
Well, as they support the death penalty and torture Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #103

no death penalty in wisco rdking647 Aug 2020 #7
I'm aware. Still doesn't change my feelings. AZ8theist Aug 2020 #9
I don't believe 17 year olds can get the death penalty JonLP24 Aug 2020 #90
I think your "brain" assessment is wrong... AZ8theist Aug 2020 #93
I understand the prefrontal cortex JonLP24 Aug 2020 #96
From your own citation: AZ8theist Aug 2020 #97
I didn't mean imply sociopathy or psychopathy is the same as a teen's brain development JonLP24 Aug 2020 #100
That's debatable. AZ8theist Aug 2020 #101
He can't get the needle anyway jmowreader Aug 2020 #18
Understood. AZ8theist Aug 2020 #98
crossed state lines, so up against re-started Fed death penalty if properly charged; love me some bringthePaine Aug 2020 #4
17 years old so not eligible for the death penalty in any case rdking647 Aug 2020 #6
He is, however, eligible for ADX Florence jmowreader Aug 2020 #20
Yup, good place for him to spend the rest of his life. Fuck him. AZ8theist Aug 2020 #94
i read this earlier and was sick to my stomach re: the self-defense defense strategy onetexan Aug 2020 #10
Of course he did!!!! dware Aug 2020 #12
I saw that coming, and I get the reasoning. JohnnyRingo Aug 2020 #15
I am guessing Traildogbob Aug 2020 #22
Well, according to the laws in this country (we DO still have laws, don't we?? 😳) Grammy23 Aug 2020 #16

His phone records show he called a friend and bragged about shooting someone Greybnk48 Aug 2020 #27
His lawyer Lin Wood, who is Smirky McSmirkface's lawyer, claims he didn't cross state lines because John Drake Aug 2020 #28

Attorneys are supposed to advocate for their clients, sarisataka Aug 2020 #29
Because rights are mutable melm00se Aug 2020 #40
It does seem there is a segment of people sarisataka Aug 2020 #61
That was a given from the start Baclava Aug 2020 #31
He had already shot a guy dead and they were trying to get his AR away from him. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #36
Photos are all over the internet, not hard to find, videos too Baclava Aug 2020 #38
The lower right is not posted in mainstream sources. Where did you get that? nt SunSeeker Aug 2020 #45
NYPOST Lawyer of alleged Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse claims self-defense Baclava Aug 2020 #54
I figured you got it from a lying right wing source. nt SunSeeker Aug 2020 #55
Here's another article that says he was holding gun, Star Tribune, MN Baclava Aug 2020 #56
The Tribune does not have that picture; it says the first man he killed only had a plastic bag! SunSeeker Aug 2020 #58
Just going by what the people on the scene said, that he had a handgun Baclava Aug 2020 #60
No, you're not. Rosenbaum had a plastic bag, not a handgun. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #62
DU isnt a courthouse, you weren't there, I'm not a lawyer presenting evidence, just reading, lol Baclava Aug 2020 #63
You're not "just reading." You're spreading right wing propaganda. nt SunSeeker Aug 2020 #65
From USAToday? Grosskreutz appeared "to be holding a handgun in his right hand when he was shot" Baclava Aug 2020 #66
But no one says he was pointing it at Rittenhouse. How does Rittenhouse have a right to shoot him? SunSeeker Aug 2020 #73
I never said he did, just that he had a gun, I guess we'll find out in a couple years at trial Baclava Aug 2020 #75
From the NYTimes account FBaggins Aug 2020 #77
So again, no evidence the man with the gun pointed it at Rittenhouse. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #78
NY Post is a NAZI RAG. Always has been.. AZ8theist Aug 2020 #99
The good guy with the gun didn't use it... Historic NY Aug 2020 #44
Lin Wood recently represented Covington Catholic teen Nick Sandmann. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #33
Thanks. It's useful to know the 'fake news' bubble he comes from. ancianita Aug 2020 #39
Oh, and he's an anti-masker and QAnon fan. He's scum. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #46
Wow. That adds a whole nother level of hackery to the likelihood of his so-called success rate. ancianita Aug 2020 #47
Lin Wood is backed up by a whole team of high powered lawyers. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #49
I was just reading his site's Prosecution of the Radical Left. You're not kidding. ancianita Aug 2020 #51
Looks like the fix is in. Doug.Goodall Aug 2020 #42
What fix? dware Aug 2020 #43
The right wing is pouring money into his defense. He's not paying for it. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #48
And this has what to do with my post? dware Aug 2020 #82
The prosecuting attorney in Kenosha stated the quick charges were to deter further violence Doug.Goodall Aug 2020 #50

Self defense has to be proportional. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #64
Here is a clip of the fire DVRacer Aug 2020 #67
That's just a random clip of a dumster. It does not show Rosenbaum, let alone his "aggression." SunSeeker Aug 2020 #72
If you can stomach it here is a recap DVRacer Aug 2020 #76
The "Commies Don't Surf" narrator showed no video of Rosenbaum's "aggression" on Rittenhouse. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #79
Anyone who thinks he's not going to walk Codeine Aug 2020 #69
I think those that think it is a slam dunk case of self defense are fooling themselves JonLP24 Aug 2020 #92
I don't think it's a GOOD case of self defense, Codeine Aug 2020 #102
Traveling across state lines with an assault weapon is hunting, not self-defense dlk Aug 2020 #59
The rifle belonged to a friend of his who lived in WI. Kaleva Aug 2020 #68
But Rittenhouse posted pictures of himself with that gun on social media. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #74
I haven't seen anything that confrims the mother drove him. Kaleva Aug 2020 #81
I keep on reading here that the mom drove him there, dware Aug 2020 #84
This vigilante thug still traveled across state lines dlk Aug 2020 #80
BULLSHIT nt Progressive Jones Aug 2020 #89
Easy enough to prove or disprove. Kaleva Aug 2020 #91
Doesn't matter anyway. He was in illegal possession of that weapon. He's under 18. NT Progressive Jones Aug 2020 #105
I think that charge is going to be hotly debated. Kaleva Sep 2020 #106
Well, what's he gonna say? "Yeah, the kid is guilty." malthaussen Aug 2020 #83
Let the children play. Steelrolled Aug 2020 #85
Of Course He Did! Upward Aug 2020 #86
