First off, unrelated to this article.... I posted that Ann Coulter had replied to someone on twitter saying that wanted him to be their bodyguard, Ann replied with I want him as my president. An insensitive and just dumb comment. But it's a damn opinion. It's no longer there. Deleted. Can't have an opinion if you're on the right and have many followers.

With Rittenhouse - for starters - they need to be back home. How do they know he solely went to Kenosha working as a lifeguard? What was his intent on going there, outside of work. That's gotta be investigated.

It states he actually didn't travel with the gun, but offers no proof as to how they came across this information. What type of licensing does he have for weapons? Either way, in Wisconsin you must be at least 18 to open carry. So WHO did he get the weapon from, and did they knowingly let him open carry?

First mistake in bold - they armed themselves. WHY? You're a kid, not a cop, and either way it's not your job AND it's against the law.

Second mistake in bold. He left the station by himself supposedly to go render first aid to folks. Ok, a 17 year old lily white kid in the middle of rioting. Carrying a weapon and looking like he's a cop, or one of a group trying to stop them. Too young to open carry and goes down the road solo, with no experience in such things.

Then third mistake in bold, left the place he was protecting to go to another place to protect - under the same circumstances as above.

This article tries to paint him as an eagle scout out there helping protect and helping the injured, guarding pools and helping remove graffiti. It doesn't matter, not in the slightest. He still chose to pick up a weapon and carry it against the law. Then killed people in the commission of that crime.

What if they had taken his weapon from him? That may be his only saving grace, but I don't see it happening. I dunno. Apparently all 3 in some fashion or another were trying to take his weapon from him. I didn't think of it at first - but what if like they mention? Would the person taking it peacefully bring it to the police? Secure it in some manner? Or would that person use it against him? Or pass it around the unruly crowd until just that happens? Or worse, against him, and then someone uses it against a police officer, thinking it's tied to him and they will get away with it.

It'll be an interesting case to watch. But I can't see him going anywhere but to prison for a long time. And it was his own decisions putting him there.

Kyle Rittenhouse Was Working as a Lifeguard in Kenosha the Day of the Shooting, Went to Clean Vandalism at School After Work

Kyle Rittenhouse is a community lifeguard who was working in Kenosha the day of the shooting.
This simple fact destroys the narrative being peddled by the mainstream media that he had “crossed state lines” to harm the rioters.

In a statement by Rittenhouse’s legal team at Pierce Bainbridge, provided to the Gateway Pundit, they explained that “after Kyle finished his work that day as a community lifeguard in Kenosha, he wanted to help clean up some of the damage, so he and a friend went to the local public high school to remove graffiti by rioters.”

Additionally, the weapon Rittenhouse was using to protect himself and others never crossed state lines.


“Later in the day, they received information about a call for help from a local business owner, whose downtown Kenosha auto dealership was largely destroyed by mob violence,” the statement continues. “Business owner needed help to protect what he had left of his life’s work, including two nearby mechanic’s shops. Kyle and a friend armed themselves with rifles due to the deadly violence gripping Kenosha and many other American cities, and headed to the business premises. The weapons were in Wisconsin and never crossed state lines.”

When Rittenhouse arrived at the mechanics shop, he and others stood guard to prevent further destruction. Later that night, long after the 8 p.m. curfew had passed, the police began to disperse a group of rioters. His lawyer, John M. Pierce, explains that while dispersing the mob, they maneuvered a mass of individuals down the street towards the auto shops. Rittenhouse and the others were threatened and taunted, but he did not react. “His intent was not to incite violence, but simply to deter property damage and use his training to provide first aid to injured community members,” Pierce says.

After the situation seemed to be diffused, Rittenhouse became increasingly concerned about people who were injured at the gas station, so he went in that direction with his first aid kit. He helped those he could find who were injured, either by administering aid or directing them which way to go for help beyond what he could offer.

The statement says that by the final time that Rittenhouse returned to the gas station and “confirmed there were no more injured individuals who needed assistance, police had advanced their formation and blocked what would have been his path back to the mechanic’s shop. Kyle then complied with the police instructions not to go back there. Kyle returned to the gas station until he learned of a need to help protect the second mechanic’s shop further down the street where property destruction was imminent with no police were nearby.”


“As Kyle proceeded towards the second mechanic’s shop, he was accosted by multiple rioters who recognized that he had been attempting to protect a business the mob wanted to destroy. This outraged the rioters and created a mob now determined to hurt Kyle. They began chasing him down. Kyle attempted to get away, but he could not do so quickly enough. Upon the sound of a gunshot behind him, Kyle turned and was immediately faced with an attacker lunging towards him and reaching for his rifle. He reacted instantaneously and justifiably with his weapon to protect himself, firing and striking the attacker,” Pierce explains.

Additionally, Rittenhouse stopped to ensure care for his attacker, hardly sounds like someone who had went to the riot with intent to kill.

“Kyle stopped to ensure care for the wounded attacker but faced a growing mob gesturing towards him. He realized he needed to flee for his safety and his survival. Another attacker struck Kyle from behind as he fled down the street. Kyle turned as the mob pressed in on him and he fell to the ground,” his legal team says. “One attacker kicked Kyle on the ground while he was on the ground. Yet another bashed him over the head with a skateboard. Several rioters tried to disarm Kyle. In fear for his life and concerned the crowd would either continue to shoot at him or even use his own weapon against him, Kyle had no choice but to fire multiple rounds towards his immediate attackers, striking two, including one armed attacker. The rest of the mob began to disperse upon hearing the additional gunshots.”

Rittenhouse then attempted to turn himself in, but was told to keep moving. He went and turned himself in to his local police that evening.

“Kyle got up and continued down the street in the direction of police with his hands in the air. He attempted to contact multiple police officers, but they were more concerned with the wounded attackers. The police did not take Kyle into custody at that time, but instead they indicated he should keep moving,” the statement says. “He fully cooperated, both then and later that night when he turned himself in to the police in his hometown, Antioch, Illinois.”

The legal team says that “in a reactionary rush to appease the divisive, destructive forces currently roiling this country, prosecutors in Kenosha did not engage in any meaningful analysis of the facts, or any in-depth review of available video footage (some of which shows that a critical state’s witness was not even at the area where the shots were fired); this was not a serious investigation. Rather, after learning Kyle may have had conservative political viewpoints, they immediately saw him as a convenient target who they could use as a scapegoat to distract from the Jacob Blake shooting and the government’s abject failure to ensure basic law and order to citizens. Within 24-36 hours, he was charged with multiple homicide counts.”

Rittenhouse is now being represented by some of the best legal minds in the country at Pierce Bainbridge, with help from Nicholas Sandmann’s lawyer Lin Wood.

On Friday, his legal team obtained a several-week continuance of his extradition hearing to September 25th. The lawyers say that this is an attempt to slow the rush to assassinate his character and destroy his life.

“Kyle, his family, the team at Pierce Bainbridge and his other lawyers intend to fight these charges every step of the way, take the case to trial and win an acquittal on the grounds of self-defense before a jury of his peers,” the statement reads.

The legal fees and other costs of Kyle’s defense will be provided through donations to #FightBack Foundation Inc., a Texas 501(c)(4) foundation created by John Pierce and Lin Wood to protect law- abiding American citizens whose rights are being trampled on by state and local governments that are more concerned with appeasing mobs than protecting those rights.

“A 17-year old child should not have to take up arms in America to protect life and property. That is the job of state and local governments. However, those governments have failed, and law-abiding citizens have no choice but to protect their own communities as their forefathers did at Lexington and Concord in 1775,” Pierce said. “Kyle is not a racist or a white supremacist. He is a brave, patriotic, compassionate law-abiding American who loves his country and his community. He did nothing wrong. He defended himself, which is a fundamental right of all Americans given by God and protected by law. He is now in the crosshairs of institutional forces that are much more powerful than him. But he will stand up to them and fight not only for himself, but for all Americans and their beloved Constitution. We will never leave his side until he is victorious in that fight.”

Takes time to get all the facts. Too many times stories are run and judgments are made before all the facts are in. Media is full of whores.

Yeps, I reserve the right to change my mind. :) But for now, that's how I see things, and I just report as much as news here as possible.

But those media whores will have him convicted of every last detail already and then convince all of America, if they can.

He may well be a great kid, a real boy scout. That only makes it more tragic that he was in a very bad place, at the worst possible time, carrying a long gun-that became an attractive nuisance to not great kids, not boy scouts. That he had to shoot 3, killing 2. Maybe he will get off for self-defense, but this wouldn't have been HIS life changing event, if he'd gone home after being a life guard.

Makes me wonder how can this guy or even Chauvin get a fair trial?
