Comments by "Ronin Dave" (@RoninDave) on "The Most Revealing Clips From Rittenhouse's Testimony" video.

@ericquiabazza2608 the judge has a vested interest as everyone in that courtroom prosecution included that rittenhouse walk. They don't want to give validity to what's behind it all which is the protest against the corrupt judicial system and police brutality and the call for reform of that. They need the protests and reforms to be marginalized and tamped down. Rittenhouse trial is just a circus to make people lose sight of the real issue.

Now mass shooters have a plan - shoot one person claiming they were going for their gun and made some death threats no one verify against then kill anyone who tries to stop you further using the self defense excuse

@mattw7057 Running off by himself for one. Why wasn't he with his militia buddies? If he were actually in the military, he'd be court-martialed for disobeying orders and being unaccountable

a question that needs to be asked is why was kyle walking around alone? Was he given orders by his militia sergeant to go on solo recon? Why wasn't he with the others? This makes me think we was looking for trouble and to flex his AR15 muscle.

agreed. We can debate what rosenbaum's intentions were, we'll never know but after rittenhouse killed him from the perspective of the crowd he was a lone gunman and a dangerous one at that. He had no badge, uniform, or ID to show he was on any side thus making him more of a danger. Huber didn't attack him a skateboard because rittenhouse was on the cop's side but because he had shot someone. The same with the man who aimed a gun at him. But for some reason conservatives won't allow them self defense because reasons (they're lefties). In a sane country, he probably get off for the first shooting but the second one he'd likely get something like manslaughter or something along that line. Here though they'll probably not even give him a lick of punishment.

@mattw7057 again why was Rittenhouse alone? If he was threatened that rosenbaum would kill him if he was alone, don't you think he would have stayed with his group?
22
@cjking9693 you think they'd care? More protests mean more money for police and prisons and whatever other private group wants in on it like the weird holding facilities they have scooped lefty protestors into before. Plus militia can shoot at will and claim self defense

Nothing identified Rittenhouse as any kind of law enforcement official (which he wasn't). He was just a lone gunman walking around the crowd. What Rosenbaum was thinking we'll never know because Rittenhouse felt like shooting him 4 times killing him. Rosenbaum might have thought of disarming a potential threat. It's all conjecture but the 2nd and 3rd victims were after Rittenhouse had shot and killed Rosenbaum. Why they don't know. They only know there's a person with a gun who had shot someone. The next group that attacked him did so based on his actions. Then he killed another person which brought about his 3rd victim to pull a gun which he did not fire but Rittenhouse did once again fortunately not killing him. Beyond just what Rittenhouse did, why did Kenosha allowed unqualified unvetted unauthorized untrained unaccountable militia patrol the streets with guns? And who thought having a 17 year old there was a good idea? And back to Rittenhouse - why was he alone when he was confronted? Why wasn't he with his other militia members? Was he looking for trouble? In the military you don't wander off without orders and neither do police in a protest situation. Where was the accountability of knowing where everyone was?

@GoatOfTheMountains no one is defending Rosenbaum as a good person. Try to get it thru your thick bloodlust skull that people prefer to live in a civilized society of laws and not one of vigilante justice where people take the law into their own hands.
11
@GoatOfTheMountains it is vigilantism because you refuse to see the bigger picture - Rittenhouse should have never been allowed to be there in the 1st place nor any of his militia buddies.
10
@GoatOfTheMountains talk about stupid responses. You can't get it that people don't want your brand of vigilante justice.

@cjking9693 The DNC is also complicit as Biden's Crime Bill helped a lot to make matters worse leading to our current police state with massive incarceration. However it is the rank and file of the GOP who advocate for vigilante militia style justice that is more worrisome. They want Rittenhouse to be justified so they can be justified. They're bloodthristy.

@kaykeelan3765 one can only hope but rightwing militias more serve the status quo than liberal reformers. Their worry is that if the protests receive more validity from average Americans something actually might get done which would upset a lot of apple carts. Militia types are too stupid to see the real problems of systemic corruption in need of reform and they can be used by the authorities unofficially to keep people in line out of fear.

plus he was with a whole militia who had no business being there

@GoatOfTheMountains you're missing the point by a mile.

@stevensosa7 you don't understand the word vigilante, do you? Vigilantism is when people take the law into their own hands. The protestors don't fit that description no matter how much you fail to understand that.
5
@spencerharmon4669 bingo! It's all dog whistles with them and they know exactly what they mean. Self defense is only for them to use to justify their killing of undesirables.
5
@stevensosa7 there's no point in discussing with someone who doesn't understand basic definitions
3
@WeatheringHeights1 it says that rightwing mobs rule because at the end of the day these idiots support the status quo even as they die because of it and they are willing to kill those dissent.
3
@AlanDantes76 funny how no one else ended up in Rittenhouse's situation thru-out the whole thing. And burn your strawman about Rosenbaum. No one is saying he was some good guy. You lot can't understand that we prefer to live in a country of laws and not a country of arbitrary vigilante whims.
3
@Lola_Santoro that's why this case is so important because if rittenhouse gets off relatively lightly this will embolden further vigilantism thru these militias under the guise of self defense.
2
@stevensosa7 but those people were not allowed to be there by the cops now were? Apples and Oranges. We are talking about vigilantes doing the police's job
