    Has it been proven that he was hoping to kill somebody when he drove across state lines?

      Why else go to a riot zone with an AR?

      Can you make sense of that?

          You’re asking others to “prove his murderous intent”, as if kyle travelling to an active riot zone with a murder weapon is too deep of a fucking mystery for you to crack.

          Is it possible for you to prove he only brought that AR to Waukesha for a fish fry? Didn’t fucking think so.

            I don’t understand why you think I’m trying to prove something or asking some random person to prove anything. I was asking what was proven in court.

              You seem quite well versed on the matter.

              You’re not here to receive facts, you’re here to push your narrative, Sisyphus.

        Counter-protesting, and it is legal to bring a firearm in many cases if legally acquired.

          Nice caveat.

          Was it legally acquired?

              He was 17

              Womp womp

              Can’t own firearms (or travel across state lines with them) as a minor.

              Sucks you can’t see the truth we’re feeding you

                You don’t seem to know a single honest fact about the case. Yet you voice your opinion very confidently. Why?

      I don’t think “teen vigilante car dealership security” is a real job, so we can confirm he wasn’t there for that.

        Well he wasn’t there to sell ice cream either.

        But in a court of law, making a statement like “he went there to kill” is a statement that requires proof. And I’m simply asking if there has been any proof that he travelled there with intent to kill?

        Bear in mind I’m not American, nor am I arguing about his guilt or innocence. Simply asking what proofs the attorneys brought to court.

      There was a video from 15 days before the incident where he fantasized out loud about shooting some people he believed to be shoplifters. The prosecution tried to admit the video to evidence in order to demonstrate his mental state but was denied.

      Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest armed with an AR-15 intending to defend property that was not even his with lethal force, having been encouraged to do so by other militant conservative groups on social media. He then proceeded to shoot and kill two unarmed people who were attempting to disarm him and injured another who was armed with a pistol and who was also attempting to disarm him.

        That video is incredibly damning. Do you know why it wasn’t allowed to be admitted?

          Judge argued it wasn’t relevant to the case. Obviously I disagree, and so did the prosecutors. The prosecution mentioned it during the trial anyway and was scolded by the judge, which was later used by the defense to try calling a mistrial.
