Have any of you been thinking about this young lads mental health ?

How did he feel, when he had to fire these shots, was he scared, angry or what.

He did a surprisingly good job of taking out immediate dirtbag threats and still surviving while completely surrounded. I'd guess he was scared, but he kept his wits about him surprisingly well.

I agree. Its obviously affecting him though as his breakdown on the stand indicates.

One would have to be a complete psychopath to not be affected at all by killing another person. I've seen multiple police officers immediately melt down into a full blown panic attack after justifiably using deadly force. Kyle's actions immediately following the shooting do seem to indicate that he was at least a little shaken up. But he did do a good job of not losing it completely. He went straight to the police, apparently to try to surrender and get away from the whole situation.

I think at that moment he realized that this isn't a game.

The Jury has quit for the day. Tomorrow will start day 4 of deliberations.

Does this mean they can't agree on whether he's guilty or not ?

Possibly but in similar cases the jury usually sends a message to that effect by now. So far there has not been any such notes.

As usual, I have not been following this case very deeply but I ask: if the people who were shot had never approached the defendant or threatened him with violence, do you think they still would have been shot?

No, because Rittenhouse didn't shoot at anyone that was not actively attacking him although he had plenty of opportunity. If they weren't there we would never have heard of this kid name.

Moreover and most critically, he was visibly retreating and therefore the non aggressor from attacker #1 then fell and was struck with potentially deadly force by attacker #2 with a skateboard to the head/neck; with a follow-on assault by the professional #3! the EMT, illegally brandishing a firearm even as several shots were fired by others-all on video- behind him. That guy, a professional, had travelled to Kenosha, armed on an expired CCW(inexcuseable in a professional!) just as Rittenhaus had. He should at least be charged with brandishing a weapon, and as many of his disordered militia as can be ID'd charged with "discharge of a firearm within city limits." Mr prosecutor would be kept busy...with cases he can win??! I believe this case is headed for a hung jury...and a possible retrial or outright dismissal.

A US teenager who shot dead two men during racial justice protests has been cleared of homicide and all other counts after claiming self-defence.

I hope this will show for our European friends. This is the video of the verdict being read. Go to the 5.50 mark to see Kyles reaction.

"That will show 'em"? Noted. No surprise here by the way.

mapuc · 11-19-21, 03:05 PM

Not guilty on any account.

There's one thing he has to live with for the rest of his life-taken another persons life.

Lost in translation. He's hoping that the video will be able to be seen rather than being censored.
