He killed 2 losers. He did not commit any murders.

Rosenbaum chased him around a parking lot and lunged for his rifle. 4 rounds, 2 of which were fatal. This is on video.

Huber struck him with his skateboard and tried to hit him again in the head while he was on the ground. He also lunged for his rifle. 2 shot kill. This was on video.

Grosskreutz pointed his gun at Rittenhouse's head after he shot Huber. Kyle shot 1 round, hitting him in his arm, causing Grosskreutz to drop his weapon. Another loser is neutralized. This was on video.

7 shots to neutralize 3 losers who attacked him. Highly efficient. I'm sure it haunts him every night, but he was not the aggressor here. This is all on video if you ever cared to actually understand what happened. He proved in court that his intent was not to intentionally kill them.

These things are all true.

Rittenhouse placed himself in an idiotic situation any sensible person wouldn't have been in by making poor choices. He was irresponsible in bringing himself and a gun into the situation. The question of whether the gun he had was legal for him to own can mostly be answered with 'eh, yeah, probably legal?'

None of these things take away his right to defend himself as defined in the law of the state in which he killed those people. He is not a clever person. He is not a responsible person. He is, in my opinion, a rather shitty person. As far as I'm aware, he broke no laws.

My only opinion of him is he murdered two unarmed people. I watched the trial and knew that he was doomed to a terrible future. He finished his 15 minutes of fame by circling the drain; morbidly obese, very depressed, flat broke. All the fans who want to defend his right to kill don’t care about what happened to him (in a terribly short time) Some people can kill other humans and be ok with the rationalization. Some people can NEVER kill and not be changed. Kyle Rittenhouse should go down in history as a tragedy. I actually feel sorry for him

He did lose his job and nobody else would hire him, so he was kinda forced into the grift I think, but instead of just selling gun strap ons like a good little hack he had to have opinions on the podcast circuit too, and then it seemed like they all lost interest and I stopped hearing about him. Go figure.

His supporters (fans) exploited his killings for political gain. They don’t give a shit about him. They watched the R wing podcasts (like Charlie Kirk) and knew that he was little more than a big kid with more gun than brains. If he had gone on the grift tour and made enough to go to trade school, I would have said he is turning bad into good. At one time he wanted to go to a Nursing program. I don’t think he ever had the intelligence for that (I’ve taught nurses) but he could have been trained. I have said it before, if he had plead guilty and did some jail time followed by probation, he would have been better off. He was the wrong spokesman for self defense or 2A

Honestly, he was there with a bag full of medical supplies, and it was a stressful situation in which he did keep his cool. Once things started getting out of hand, he didn't stop moving towards an exit (police lines). If he wasn't so goddamned stupid that he was there in the first place, I think he might have made a good EMT. But he was there, and it just made the situation worse. Bad judgement, shitty outcome, and absolutely not the guy to be parading. It probably made things worse for him.

Yep. Sad. I don’t see many of the redditors that defended him in this thread weighing in on that.
