The court case of Kyle Rittenhouse

The story of the Kyle Rittenhouse court case isn’t anything new but what is it; well in short summary the case was about Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 men and killed 2 in self-defence. The prosecution throughout the trial they were just stretching on what they could ask like if he played Call of Duty and also breaking constitution and ridiculing his right to remain silent and just said he was just shooting people but when looking at video evidence of the shooting all of it leads to the shooting being in self-defence because in all the times shown Kyle getting knocked or almost injured when he fired back. Also, the men killed were criminals in their own right, one being a child predator and another illegally concealed carrying his handgun. In my opinion I think that Kyle Rittenhouse is an innocent man that in self-defence accidentally killed the 2 men and I believe that he should not face jail time  but what do you think?

  • Good topic choice Austin! Your summary is brief with no sources and you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points.

  • I think that Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent because I've heard different sides of the story. The way it is described he was acting out of self defense. This court case is a very public case, I feel like no matter what would've happened someone in society would've been mad. 

  • I think that he is also innocent. Everyone has a right to self-defense and to bear arms. He was protecting himself. He wasn't just shooting people they attacked him first and he was defending himself. If he were to go to prison that wouldn't stand for our rights as Americans.

  • I do not think that he should face any sort of jail time because he did it in self defense. I belive that he was protecting himself from the people in self defense and should not be guilty of the charges they were trying to press on him. I think that he is a inocent man the was just defending himself.

  • I think Kyle shouldn't even have a gun. He shouldn't be in the streets during the BLM with his gun pretending he knows what he is doing. I think he killed to innocent people. He said it is self-defence but I just saw a kid that killed by accident to persons and is trying to get out of the responsibility.

  • I believe what he did was in self-defense. Everything he did to get the gun was all legal so he didn't break any laws there. I think what he did was the right thing to do in self-defense plus the people he killed all have been in trouble before and plus some were looting.

  • Kyle should not be convicted as he was purely acting out of self defense, and the 2 deaths while there was no way he could have known at the time were a pretty good thing to occur, especially the death of the child predator, who I think we can all agree are terrible people who manipulate children in terrible ways that should be severely punishable.

  • I believe that what Kyle Rittenhouse did was purely acting on self defense. The video evidence proves that it was just self defense. What the prosecution is doing is just ridiculizing him and making him seem like a mad person. When in reality all Kyle did was protect himself. I'm glad he wasn't charged with anything. 

  • I believe that Kyle should not be charged with murder due to the fact that it was out of self-defense, but I do believe that he should be charged with several things. I also think he should be arrested or charger for owning the gun as a minor. 

  • If it was completely Self defense then he should be completely innocent but if it wasn't then he is guilty. It is as simple as that. If the video shows that he was just protecting himself then he should be completely fine.
