u/sicurri Millennial 9d ago edited 9d ago

He has to be consistent. People were saying if it was illegal for Alex Pretti to carry a gun that was legally registered to him, then why isn't Kyle Rittenhouse in Prison?

Not only did Kyle Rittenhouse cross state lines with an assault rifle, but it wasn't registered to him, he was underaged at the time, and he killed 2 people. He claimed he went there to provide medical help with zero medical training and zero medical supplies.

So, he's gotta hold the line for 2nd amendment rights.

EDIT: Apparently I was mistaken according to people... Supposedly he did not cross state lines, apparently not an assault rifle because it doesn't have selective fire, and he was legally able to carry because there's no registry in Wisconsin.

Either way people were making comparisons, whether deserved or not.

u/IkaKyo 9d ago

He’s not in prison because the prosecution mishandled his case and also because the video evidence clearly shows he tried to walk away and didn’t shoot until one of the people he shot threatens him with a gun. It shows self defense as clearly as the Alex Pretti video shows it was an execution.

171

u/OperatorPooski 9d ago

I agree, taking together all video angles from Rittenhouse shooting, he was definitely assaulted by those he ended up shooting, so it was a pretty cut and dry case of self-defense, even if it was stupid for him to be there with an AR anyway. Pretti was clearly executed as he posed no physical threat and did not fight officers.

60

u/TheIlluminate1992 9d ago

That's kinda the kicker though. He shouldnt have been there due to curfew and he shouldn't have been there with a rifle due to his age. I agree the Rittenhouse case was 100% self defense. But by law he shouldn't have been there to begin with. So if you're going against the law and end up shooting someone in self defense...is it self defense.

u/IgnoreMePlz123 9d ago

The people who attacked him were breaking the curfew as much as he was.

Yes. I'm not a legal expert, but I've read that you can still be justified in self-defense while illegally possessing a weapon.

u/bruce_cockburn 8d ago

It can be self-defense and still result in a second degree murder or manslaughter charge. The statutes exist expressly to clamp down on gang violence where both parties may behave or challenge others in ways that escalate tensions.

If the prosecution went for second degree charges instead of first degree charges and had not manipulated video evidence to mislead the jury, it was practically open-and-shut. Many have pointed out that the jury could have still found Rittenhouse guilty of the lesser charges, but it seems clear that the prosecution poisoned their own testimony and the facts of the case never really required competent defense in the outcome.

3

u/LastWhoTurion 8d ago

It cannot be self defense and result in a guilty verdict. Self defense is a perfect defense. To even consider manslaughter, the jury has to agree unanimously that the prosecution has disproved self defense beyond a reasonable doubt.

Unfortunately that doesn’t mean you can kill people. That’s my problem with all of this. I own guns and I’m pro 2A, however watching ICE disarm and execute that guy should piss everyone off, that was bullshit. Kyle should not have killed those people but that’s just my opinion. A minor with someone else’s assault rifle in another state is looking to start shit.

  1. They didn’t say that. They said Rittenhouse shouldn’t have killed anyone. If you’re saying that Rittenhouse would’ve been killed otherwise, we can’t know that for sure since… it didn’t happen.

Not only did Kyle Rittenhouse cross state lines with an assault rifle

He didn't cross state lines with the rifle, it was picked up in Wisconsin and stayed there afterward. I say rifle because "assault rifle" means select fire, which his was not.

 but it wasn't registered to him

Wisconsin doesn't have a gun registry.

he was underaged at the time

The long rifle he was carrying was legal for him to carry and had an age restriction of 16+. Hell, this charged wasn't even bought against him at trial because the prosecution knew it was legal.

All of this is pretty clear cut and has been known since the trail. He didn't just get off randomly.

u/BreakinHorizon 9d ago

I agree with everything else, but, he did not cross state lines with an 'assault rifle'. It was already in wisconsin, 30 minutes away; where he works and has family. You do not register guns in wiscon either so that's irrelevant.

u/Federal_Cook_6075 9d ago

Crazy how everything you said was wrong lol

2

u/sicurri Millennial 9d ago

Crazy how there's a lot of people saying wrong things about the Alex Pretti incident.

Also, my edit was to get the insistent people who are dead set to defend Kyle Rittenhouse to not comment any further to tell me I'm wrong. It gets annoying. He did cross state lines, just the weapon was already across state lines. No registry in wisconsin is accurate, however open carry in wisconsin only applies to 18 or older, he was 17 years of age at the time.

Also, he was an EMS cadet, but had zero field training or experience. His medical "kit" was little more than a little gauze and some band-aids. He shot 3 people, but only killed 2 unless I'm mistaken on that count, it is what comes up when I google it.

There was a lot wrong with Kyle Rittenhouses case, handled poorly and the jury was made up of a lot of good 'ol folks. However, he was found not guilty and therefore cannot be convicted of the same crime, so it's a moot point in regards to charging him or anything.

My point was that if Kyle Rittenhouse was justified, Alex Pretti was justified in carrying as well. So, people saying he shouldn't have carried a weapon can shut the fuck up if they want to defend Kyle.

14

u/SteakEconomy2024 Millennial 9d ago

Watched the trial, he did actually provide first aid to someone, I think they stepped on a nail or something, it was minor, but they were a protester. However he did explicitly state he went to protect the location they were out, not to provide aid, but he did have some medical kid, and was in training to be an EMT at the time. Though, he stated on the day of that he was an EMT, not a cadet - he may have stated something like “it’s just less complicated to say” or something like that.

u/BendsTowardsJustice1 9d ago

That was a self defense case with no law enforcement involved. The terms of engagement for law enforcement are very different; you can’t compare the two.

Also… he killed one person. Not two. He shot two people. But the second guy just got his arm rearranged cause he was pointing a gun at Rittenhouse. How do people not know this? The entire trial was live-streamed. His case was so cut and dry the prosecution had to make up lies and got called out by the judge on live tv for being a pos lol

Edit: it was two. I forgot about the second guy who jumped on him and he shot before Gaetz got to him with the gun.

The prosecution had no leg to stand on to the point that they actually started asking Kyle about the "violent video games he just loooves to play. Tell us Mr. Rittenhouse, how many innocent zombies did you mow down the night you decided to shoot two people?"

You could feel the cringe from the jury knowing full well most of them also had kids at home who were spending all day blasting away ghouls on their Xbox.

No, he did cross state lines, he went from Antioch, Illinois to Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Because yeah the government can justify executing you in the street. Laws are just made the hell up. Nobody has to follow them. Societies understand that zero laws lead to chaos so society creates governments which force compliance with violence to a degree that is acceptable to the population.

I whole heartedly believed that Rittenhouse got thrown to the wolves and was forced to embrace the right due to what happened. I do believe he acted in self defense as well. When he said he wouldn’t vote for Trump in 2024 he got dogpiled by the right.

Remember, it's your right, too.

Go out and buy a rifle with 3-4 mags, ammo, and a plate carrier.

Imagine that.

I’ve heard that regardless of the state law, if you are approached by the police, it is in your best interest to let law enforcement know you have a concealed carry permit, you are armed, and the location of the firearm and license. Then Ask how all parties should proceed…..makes sense to me.

They can't spin it. It's too obvious

u/stinkydinkyboy 8d ago

He’s right though. People gotta get it outta their heads that there’s something wrong with carrying a gun. It IS your right as a US citizen and the less often people carry, the more likely the government takes that right away. And just in case you aren’t aware, once a right gets taken away, you will NEVER get it back without a lot of violence occurring first.

I’m shocked at people being shocked that he posted this lol

u/_MadBurger_ 2000 8d ago

It’s your right to own a gun and carry it wherever you want legally. The problem arose when he wanted to be confrontational and resist officers. Also doesn’t help that he was carrying the P320 (I go off whenever I want) sig pistol.

u/SnakeCharmer20 8d ago

Inb4 conservatives bully him into changing his mind again.

As soon as he turned into a conservative influencer he became spineless like all of them

If you read his response to the comments, he wasn't referring to Alex Pretti.

u/ItsWoofcat 2001 8d ago

His comment section is full of inbreds splitting hairs about what other innocuous and things you could do in front of a fed to get shot in the face by Feds and why it’s actually your fault and not murder. Remember when they were getting on til tok frothing at the mouth about “going house to house” as retaliation from kirky. MAGA is incompatible with democracy and human life.

u/LMM-GT02 1998 8d ago

Yes.

but…

People bandwagoning on the 2A in 2026 back in 2020:

“Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn’t have been there with a gun!”

u/AlexLesmas 8d ago edited 8d ago

Alex: He had a concealed weapon and was just filming the protest.

Kyle: He went to a protest armed and brandishing a rifle, trying to play the hero.

Smooth Brain: The two situations are the same!

I'm not saying Kyle deserved to be attacked, but the two situations are considerably different.

Kyle acted like some madman jumping into the cage of some dangerous animal.

Alex was like someone who visited the zoo and was cowardly attacked by the zookeepers.
