    You're trying to convince me. I am not the guy who charged him. But the jury would definitely hear about it if it goes to trial.

    Well, thanks, but I don't take anything that you posted as being even remotely disrespectful, Mark.

    Several months ago, the present idiocy was more confined than it is today.

    Now that it's not only endured, but spread farther while increasing in its intensity, is what caused me to suspect some greater degree of sinister activity. My threshold for an event, or a series of events, qualifying as an insurrection differs from others and even that of Sam Culper...although I find myself in agreement with much of what Culper writes in the linked article that you provided. Thanks for the additional source of perspective.

    This is one of the issues that first popped into mind when I read of this incident.

    What the Hell is a 17-year old kid doing running around with a rifle—of any kind—in that mess?

    In Alabama it’s 16 to possess a rifle, I was rolling with an m1 carbine in the trunk at that age in the late 90’s.

    Never mind.. watched more of the video and he unleashed some fire into their general direction.

    One of the few with the courage of his convictions. A few months and he would be old enough to be enlist and be shipped off somewhere (but that's not really the point). He showed up against this leftist horse shit and showed courage under fire. As things stand at the moment, I have nothing but the utmost respect for Mr. Rittenhouse.

    That’s been my takeaway as well.

    Plenty of people are bitching about him going there looking to shoot people. If that were really the case, the body count would be a bit higher I imagine.

    There are photos of him cleaning graffiti off a local high school the day before this event.
