Because no good Samaritan has ever suffered an attack while trying to help.
Self defense is simply a basic human right. Carrying a weapon into dangerous situations is only good sense. If Rittenhouse had not been armed, and had acted in exactly the same honourable way he did act that night, he would have suffered serious bodily harm at the very least.
He shot three guys........that attacked him. Look at what the jury can't see, their records. Child rape (Rosenbaum), illegal confinement, assault with a weapon, domestic violence against his grandmother, no less (Huber) and burglary and domestic violence (Grosskreutz). All criminal records for violent offenses. Scum, scum, and scum. Tells you the general character of a lot of Burn Loot Murder activists.
So Rittenhouse, if he wanted to help by countering the acts of Burn Loot Murder by putting out fires they lit, only showed good sense in being armed, and the events that evening prove the point. Considering these idiots attacked a guy armed with an AR 15, imagine what would have happened if he hadn't been armed.
Ask Andy Ngo.
"Look at what the jury can't see, their records."
Their records do not matter because widdle Kyle didn't know their records either.
It doesn't matter if X person murdered a rapist, convicted or alleged, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if Y person murdered deserved to be so via the court of opinion. None of that matters. Hell, take the case in NS now; guy was accused of kidnapping and raping a minor. Someone killed him. Did he deserve it? Well some would say yes, even though nothing had even gone to court yet. But if the person who did it is found, they'll be charged with murder.
Same happens in the US.
What matters is that poor widdle Kyle shot two guys, killing them, and injured a third.
What matters is that this entire case was a cluster fuck in all respects, on all sides. From the defence to the prosecution to the Judge himself.
All that matters is that he will likely get off because it could not be proven within the laws of the state what the prosecution hoped to prove.
Though that it's taking so long (just waking up so don't know any updates as of yet) is interesting. Usually a not guilty verdict would be done by now.
FYI, you show your actual lack of giving a shit about justice or law when you bring up "Burn loot murder" as BLM's acronym. We know had widdle Kyle been a black kid, you and the other assholes here would be all for seeing him in jail by now, and "Self defence" wouldn't be a thing. Don't bother denying it either. Other similar situations of black people being shot and killed by whites, or attacked by whites, and your reactions there-in prove otherwise.
The convo is over.
