Can't really agree with the rest of your statement, except with a caveat, Whatever his reasoning, he had no business being there. But then, neither did the three guys he shot.

They do when they are defending themselves or their property. Law enforcement has absolutely no legal duty to respond to your calls for help, or to defend you against crime--that is not to say that they wouldn't, as most would without even thinking about it, but the fact remains, according to the written law, you are responsible for defending yourself.

"you are responsible for defending yourself." At least until the cops get there. Remember that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Well stated WNYShooter.

IF, the big IF. This was not about a " black " being involved for a change, nothing to do with race, it has to do with LAW and the COURTS. Everything ( contrary to popular belief ) in this country does not revolve around blacks.

The guys he shot were upstanding felons out for an evening of fun and entertainment.

The Rittenhouse verdict is a huge win for America and a severe loss for the democrats.
The right of self defense against democrats burning, looting and trying to kill you was clearly confirmed.
This was also a trial against owning a rifle and America won there against the democrats affirming the right to keep and bear arms for self defense against criminals (AKA democrats).

Bravo!

And yet it became racist when the blacks decided to embrace the three miscreants as martyrs for "the cause."

My wife and I know exactly how we will try to react.
We go to the range and I stress her by putting verbal pressure on her like a DI would in training.
Then we do scenarios in the house as to what we will do.
Then finally scenarios as to what we will do if out and about and how to react to an imminent threat.

LoL

How lucky you are to have a subservient wife! It fits with the negative opinions of females that you have expressed over your years here.

Most American wives, once you started "putting verbal pressure on her like a DI would in training" would tell you to GFY.

Yer such a great caricature though!

Had Rittenhouse been black and those killed black, the media, entrenched in defending the lie that the black community doesn’t have an issue with intraracial violence, would have never covered it. You would never have heard his name. Rittenhouse would be as unknown to you as Daniel Shaver, a white man gunned down by police while COMPLYING with police commands.

And the survivor admitted pointing his loaded pistol at Rittenhouse’s head before Rittenhouse shot it out of his arm.

Rittenhouse did not shoot the gun out of his victims hand. He shot his victim in the bicep, removing 3/4 of his bicep. His victim was a paramedic, there to help people.

You supposedly shoot or shot, how accurate is your shot under the stress of an attack. I can guarantee that the gun was actually shot out of hand. He may have been a paramedic but why did he have a gun?
