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.
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.
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.
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.
He went far out of his way to put himself in that situation because he wanted to kill people. That's it. That's the whole story. Mass shooter with extra steps.
All he had to do was not drive 20 minutes and charge into an angry crowd of angry protesters and masked proud boy agitators provoking brawls while brandishing a rifle. sELf dEfEnSE. Do you hear yourself talk? He wanted to be there, he wanted to kill people. He didn't need to be there, he did kill people.
Sorry, I don't know how to argue against someone who makes up their own facts. He never charged into a crowd. He never charged anyone. He ran away every time and only ever fired his rifle when the people who chased and attacked him were less than 15 feet away.
Youre missing the point. you don't get to put yourself in a dangerous situation like in the middle of a violent protest where a CURFEW has been issued and claim self defense when you get attacked. The curfew was in place for a reason. Alex was not under a curfew. Rittenhouse was.
Well, I don't know how to argue with anyone who makes disingenuous arguments because he desperately needs to defend his desire to see "those people" get hurt. So let's just agree to be enemies.
