He’s going to plead self-defense — his lawyers have already signaled as much
guarding business properties with a weapon of war slung across his back
Yup. Thinks he committed a crime. I was actually shocked with his take hence how the bet came about.
Like all the other opportunists that have come flooding into protest zones to foment looting and violence. You know, those agitators. What possible stake did little Kyle have in Kenosha? Protecting businesses? How humanitarian. Vigilante - I'm agnostic on all this racial upheaval bullshit, but anyone who needs an assault rifle is a fucking bad shot. And anyone who crosses state lines to incite violence in a matter that doesn't concern them deserves to be PUNISHED1111

And that will cause even more rioting and fury and all kinds of misplaced angst.People have free will to do what they will. To argue that he be found guilty to placate a mob is a despicable suggestion.
He did not cross state lines to incite violence.
The left is like an abusive husband who beats their wife.
“Why did you incite me into hitting you?”
Those of us on the left who are already outraged that it’s legal for civilians to openly carry military-style assault weapons in public spaces should begin now to brace for the inevitable resolution of this case.
Kyle Rittenhouse is probably going to walk.
He’s going to plead self-defense — his lawyers have already signaled as much — and from what I’ve seen, read and heard, I predict he’s going to be acquitted on the most serious charges.
What are the details on the conditions of the bet?
ole bicep boy and a few other NPCs clearly had handguns in some of the videos
their hatred of guns, or hatred of people on the right who arm themselves with them
That could be just clearing the way for extradition to Wisconsin.
Yes, it seems certain that Rittenhouse was in violation of Chapter 948.6 of Wisconsin law when he was guarding business properties with a weapon of war slung across his back. That law bans minors from carrying guns, and Kenosha County’s criminal complaint notes the maximum penalty for that offense is nine months in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Yes, there are a couple of ways to go. You order the police to maintain law and order, and call in the National Guard, if necessary and shoot looters and arsonists. Or, you order the police to stand down, refuse to call in the National Guard, and let your city burn and businesses be destroyed. The second choice emboldens criminals to act again with impunity.Ah, but if you can get Harris elected, she'll bail out your hellhole city with federal taxpayer $$$, so all is good! /sarc
Kyle fits that roll and then some, since he stood up to them and came out on top.

But even those who break that law don’t forfeit their right to “use force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm (if they) reasonably believe that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to (themselves),” as Chapter 939.48, Wisconsin’s self-defense law, spells out.
According to prosecutors, video from the scene and witness accounts, the legally relevant portion of the story picked up a little before midnight: For unknown reasons, Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, of Kenosha, who had earlier been yelling angrily at the armed men who had come to the protests, was at a run, chasing Rittenhouse along Sheridan Road and into the parking lot of a used-car dealer.
When Rosenbaum, who was unarmed, finally cornered Rittenhouse, he grabbed for the teenager’s gun. Multiple shots rang out, and Rosenbaum fell, mortally wounded.
Did Rittenhouse have a reasonable belief under the circumstances that if Rosenbaum got his gun he would suffer death or great bodily harm? Jurors in Wisconsin are instructed that “reasonable” means “what a person of ordinary intelligence and prudence would have believed ... under the circumstances that existed at the time.”
