Rittenhouse Trial

Problem for Rittenhouse is whether the court accepts the skateboard as truly a deadly weapon

Why wouldn’t it be? Would the shooting of someone who’s trying to beat a police officer’s brains out with a skateboard not be justified?

I don’t think the question of whether a skateboard can be a deadly weapon will be a problem for Rittenhouse at all.

Problem for Rittenhouse is whether the court accepts the skateboard as truly a deadly weapon thus justifying his “active shooter” status.
No one thinks about deadly weapons when someone is riding around on a skateboard. But when they're trying to cave your head in with one it can be as deadly as a lead pipe. I recall similar arguments about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. People saying Zimmerman shouldn't have shot Martin. Someone on top of you slamming your head into a sidewalk with no way of knowing if he'll stop before you're dead earns that guy a bullet.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

Many things can become deadly when the intent is to kill. I could take my boot off and cave in your skull. Is that a deadly weapon? If you died then I guess it was. Should you stand there while I try and kill you and do nothing if you have your own weapon? Hell no!

Anyone who doesn't think a skateboard can be a deadly weapon should try holding a skateboard sometime.

I think any object can be a deadly weapon if utilized to a deadly effect.

If you get stopped in your car for suspected burglary and they find a screwdriver, does it help you or hurt your case?

The length some of you are going to defend woman-beaters and child rapists who instigated a fight is absolutely hysterical.

Chain wielding repeat sexual offender against 10 year olds just roaming the streets and not in prison burning the neighborhood down with his woman beating friends. What the :censored2: is wrong with this Kenosha place. Kyle was doing that town a favor.

Stupid kid didn’t know his life changed completely when he pulled that trigger. I’m sure he felt justified. Probably been told he was justified long before and long after. We’ll see how that works out for him.
He will make millions in his book / movie deal.
