  • wanted to be involved in the conflict, ... he intended on finding and joining conflict

    he maybe wanted to be a part of the "solution". Protest the protest, doesnt matter how far he travelled. Thats his right.
    He took a gun to protect himself, another legal right.

    did indeed end up in a conflict, which the evidence suggests he sought out, and put himself in. It takes two to make a fight, but if Rittenhouse had stayed at home that night he'd not have killed those people

    Whats the evidence, location and armed? Not enough.
    By the above logic the entire protest and then riot is what killed those people, in fact go further, cops, cops with guns. ITS tHE8R FAUlt!!.....
    Our country has nucleur weapons to scare but if we use them is that cos we were forced to? No. It will be a decision we would have to stand by, no one elses fault. You cant blame a cause for a reaction or all tantrums are justified lol!

    I believe what he did was wrong. I also believe what he did was lawful. That is the argument int it, if its wrong why is it lawful. Well, because of all the nuances that got america where it is, it has different laws to us regardless of what we think.
    In america guns are everday carry. It is not pre meditated is it?
    If I punch someone and they die it is manslaughter not murder.

    Im playing devils advocate because while it is obvious to me a crime has been commited I am not in any way an authority on american law and this is only that. Law. Not logic (unfortunatley)
    Yes he murdered people
    No he shouldnt face a homicide charge, manslaughter charges, disrupting the peace, involved in a riot, illegally carrying and using a firearm etc, he should (a whole other argument to be had as to whether manslaughter should even be a thing, Im sure)
    He will be acquited, lawfully, it will be a turning point in US laws (we hope)

    Hurling insults and claiming superiority through syllables is what irked me to post tbh.

    Also, bang on with the poppies!
    Also think help for heroes is extremely shameful too. But probably not the place for that.

  • If I punch someone and they die it is manslaughter not murder.

    Surely that is circumstance based again?

    If, infront of other witnesses, you state intent, I.e. "I'm going to kill you" then punch the victim and they die then I'd be surprised if that wouldn't be judged as murder.

    Ianal though.
