Due to that, his decisions should weigh on his responsibilities. He killed 2 and injured another. Was there shared responsibility? Hell yeah, the victims didn't have to be there, either. He may get off 100% for "self defense" given how the statute is written. I think that statute is wrong. I'd say even the judge thinks the same, or he wouldn't have offered up lower-level crime options to the jury.

The only problem is that they were murdered by a Boogaloo Boi and Air Force security sergeant, Steven Carrillo, in a false flag attack.

If the act of pointing it causes the threat to cease, then you still have exercised your right to SD. And no, before some jackass chimes in here - no that is not the same as "brandishing". Well here it is, of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were out in the open. Dumb Chum, a 9mm has a muzzle velocity of about 1250 fps. A .223 has a muzzle velocity of about 3100 fps. No, the rifle round is going to go a LOT farther, about 6.1 times farther. Notice that's velocity squared. That means you multiply the velocity times the velocity. 3100^2 / 1250^2 is about 6.1 on my slide rule. Remember, gun nuts are supposed to actually know something about guns. Full disclosure: I paid attention in school. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corkob 81 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The fact that a young punk can present himself at a riot, parade around with an illegal assault rifle, shoots three people - (surprise surprise) and can reasonably be expect to be acquitted on grounds of self defense, is a bizarre concept in every civilized jurisdiction except the US. Ye are really, really fucked up over there. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Full disclosure: I paid attention in school. burning man already addressed that. Given the environment 9mm hadgun & .223 rifle would travel the same distance before something stopped it. Anyody have the barrel length of the AR? Was it a pistol or a log gun? You folks are more interested in "gotchas" than what actuallytranspired.

ShortForBob 2,938 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Still no verdict Maybe Rittenhouse was asking Rosenbaum if he needed a drink of water. On Wednesday, the jury spent nearly an hour reviewing versions of two crucial videos that captured Rittenhouse's encounter with Joseph Rosenbaum, the initial confrontation that sparked the events that followed on the night of Aug. 25, 2020. One, an infrared video recorded from an FBI surveillance aircraft, shows a crowd milling around a used-car lot as Rosenbaum runs into the frame with Rittenhouse tailing him. The two pause; then Rosenbaum begins to chase Rittenhouse, who then turns to shoot him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
