Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Sure looks like self-defense to me.

    And why the fuck is a 17 year old out running around with a rifle. I saw a number of takes on this early this morning. I don't think any are the full story. But safe to say, 17yos aren't EMTs.

    Agree, about him being an EMT and I too wouldn't counsel anyone be they 17 or 47 to be out walking the street in that environment carrying a rifle unless they are protecting their property/family. But that being said he has just as much right to be there as the "protesters" and if he was being assaulted as it appears in the video he has every right to defend himself.

    They sure scrambled once he started firing. Stupid.

    Why should police investigate just this single incident from the riot? Equal treatment under the law should means no investigation and open season on communists.

    You can be an EMT "in training" I believe and have taken most of the necessary classes. How that ends up in this situation I have no idea.

    The last guy shot had a 'Paramedic' hat on and pulled a gun from his waistband while running to the guy on the ground. He saw the guy shooting and backed up to say 'don't shoot', then rushed him to try and execute him, like he was trying to perform a move in Call of Duty. POS Unfortunate that last shot wasn't a few more inches to the right.

    Loved the first guy rushing the guy on the ground was all 'welp, fuck this, I found out and I'm out'

    Ok, you might be right, I always confuse EMT vs. paramedic.

    This is a total mess, the guy with the rifle might be on the correct side of razor thin legal rights but he sure as shit shouldn’t feel good about what happened.

    The failures that lead to this weren’t 5 minutes before or 5 hours before it was the months and years of coddling rioters and this emotion fueled entitlement that leads to people “running down this path”.

    As a husband and father I get a pit in my stomach thinking about what I’d have do if that shit came trying to knock my door down. If you think I’m being dramatic, please watch what is happening in Portland neighborhoods.

    Is it on TV? IN HD?

    Good post by the way

    Lol at that "reporting". Very intentionally leaving out that actual video of the incident and saying that "Another video shows Rittenhouse open fire with a rifle after he fell to the ground" without mentioning the rush of people attempting to assault him.

    First degree homicide? DA will have to prove this kid had the premeditated intent of killing the two people attacking him. Tough sell.

    Another video shows Rittenhouse open fire with a rifle after he fell to the ground and then calmly walk toward police vehicles with his hands raised in surrender.

    However, no officers are seen getting out of the vehicles, which continue advancing toward protesters, to apprehend Rittenhouse — who then fled the state and was considered a fugitive.

    That caught my eye too. Horribly written article by the way.

    Police offered the people protecting the gas station water then he went on a killing spree!!!

    I don't want anyone getting shot. Citizens shooting citizens is bad for society. This shit is going to happen, and as @LoneStarDawg said it is a grace that it hasn't happen a lot more. I think "normal" people are starting to take the message from rioters, might makes right.

    The violence in the protests the last few months shows how truly broken our society is at the moment ... I don’t see it slowing down or fixing itself anytime soon unfortunately

    This is how you know cops aren’t racist, they are spineless and self serving towards white people too.

    Can you fucking imagine trying to surrender to cops in front of a mob and the cops abandon you?

    Like I said, the Left will continue to antagonize and they are HOPING for armed resistance so they can play the victim.

    I large and growing segment of our society no longer feels the laws apply to them as long as they believe their cause has to do with "justice." And a growing number of black people feel they no longer need to abide by lawful police commands and that they should be able to resist arrest without consequences.

    These beliefs and feelings have been encouraged by leftist politicians, the media and entertainment/pop culture world. Yeah, I'd say we're fucked.
