Kyle says he wish he had his AR to shoot people stealing/looting the CVS
2 months earlier of his incident.
Not sure how it's relevant to the case either.
It's like saying Rosenbaum was chasing kyle to fuck him, like he did the 5 other kids he molested under the age of 12.
Guilty or not Kyle got rid of a 5x child rapist, 5 boys under the age of twelve raped by Rosenbaum.
Kudos
Something I read that I feel is relevant here --
"Getting real tired of hearing about how one of them was apparently a sex offender and/or pedophile.
It is irrelevant to the question of whether or not Rittenhouse was "justified" in killing him because Rittenhouse could not have known that information at the time and it had absolutely no bearing on his motivations.
I'm so fucking tired of people demonizing murder victims after the fact to try to justify their deaths.
Whether by the police or by some wannabe vigilante, the ONLY valid justification for the use of lethal force is in the case of genuine self-defense.
And when I say genuine self-defense, I mean that the person using lethal force had only two choices: use lethal force or suffer grave bodily harm or death.
This doesn't mean "I was scared".
It doesn't mean "I thought he had a gun".
It doesn't mean "the suspect was getting away".
It doesn't mean "I thought they were stealing".
It doesn't mean "I caught them looting, rioting, or committing arson".
It means "if I didn't shoot, I would literally be dead, raped or fighting for my life right now".
Neither the police nor private citizens have the right to be judge, jury and executioner and it's fucking disgusting how willingly we as a society have accepted that behaviour.
When someone is fatally shot by a police officer or vigilante, I do not care what their criminal history was. It is irrelevant. Every person has the right to due process and very, very, very few (if any) people deserve to lose their lives because of a crime they committed.
Violent criminals who express no remorse and/or pose a continued danger to public safety deserve life in prison. The vast majority of people who commit crimes, though, deserve the chance to learn, grow, take responsibility, apologize, try to right what wrongs they can, and turn their lives around.
The vast majority of people who commit crimes are the product of their social and economic environment. Their lives matter just as much as the rest of ours.
As for this particular guy? Yeah, fuck him for hurting kids. He deserved the 15 years he served in prison. Perhaps he should have gotten more. Perhaps he should have spent the rest of his life in prison. But his murder at the hands of a 17 year old wannabe vigilante was wrong. It would have been wrong even if Rittenhouse knew about his past."
