why is militia such a problematic point? i honestly dont get that much. we have a constitutional right to form one.


Its clearly prejudicial. The only reason to bring it up at all is to infuse their perception of Rittenhouse with a politically-charged narrative about far-right chuds
The facts of the case don't show any sort of formal organization or affiliation between Rittenhouse and any militiamen or militia groups, just random likeminded people who showed up that day and who he didn't personally know.

premeditated organization perhaps not, but day of organization i'd argue can be shown. per the militia leader's own testimony.

in any case avoiding a term because it hits feelers too hard, that people self identify with, is too snowflake of a behavior for me.

identifying by something until its inconvenient is stupid.

every trial of a black kid can't call him a gang member either if they can't actually establish it. Can't just go around calling him a gang banger if he listens to rap music and dresses up in hood rat clothes

the idea that low hanging pants and gang membership and Kyle's situation in which he's standing side by side with a gun in hand with a literal militia is laughable.

How do I know if a group of armed people is an unauthorized private militia?
Groups of armed individuals that engage in paramilitary activity or law enforcement functions without being called
forth by a governor or the federal government and without reporting to any government authority are acting as
unauthorized private militias. They sometimes train together and respond to events using firearms and other
paramilitary techniques, such as staking out tactical positions and operating in military-style formations. They often
purport to have authority to engage in military and law enforcement functions such as protecting property and
engaging in crowd control.
These groups often engage in behaviors that show their intent to act as a private militia, such as wearing militarystyle uniforms, tactical gear, or identifying insignia; wielding firearms or other weapons; and operating within a
coordinated command structure. Other factors—such as statements by leaders or members’ efforts to direct the
actions of others—also may suggest that a group is acting as a private militia. Groups of armed individuals may
engage in unauthorized militia activity even if they do not consider themselves to be “members” of a paramilitary
organization.

which part of the law specifically states that in order to be classified as a member of an unauthorized militia you must have been premeditatively organized? and if so what if any legal statutes are their on said organization?
