The Bottom Line is: One does NOT need an AR 15 to render first aid. PERIOD!!!!!

[Scottie Mom]

That is my main issue with Rittenhouse -- there simply is no good explanation for this. Also, if one is going to render first aid, where was anything on his body -- such as a shirt with a BIG RED CROSS -- that indicated he was a peaceful person looking to aid the injured. He was pointing a lethal weapon at people -- how in the hell is this a method of rending first aid?????

The above defies logic...unless, of course, one is a Trump-humper.

JMHO

1. When medics go into a war zone, they don't carry weapons

And Rittenhouse had no right to enter that particular zone armed. And he's not even a medic!

That's why the others thought he was a legitimate combatant.

6. I'm Hoping That The Jury Is Smart Enough To Make These Same Distinctions....

of what should be expected of a medic. What should be considered 'self-defense'. What constitutes a hunting rifle vs an assault rifle. Why a person from a different state can come to Kenosha and say he's there to protect his community - as this wasn't his community let alone state.

The judge might rule some things be kept from the jury in the trial phase - but I would hope that the jury employs some common sense to what they have learned during the trial phase to realize that things have been slanted in favor of KRit and they can read through the BS that they been given.

2. And all the other "medics" that were there with their guns?

Same standard apply? Should any of the "protesters" have been armed as well?

[Sympthsical]

3. The guy he shot who lived was a medic who was illegally armed

This is the one who pointed a gun at Rittenhouse and was shot in the arm.

This fact is all over the trial.

[Fix The Stupid]

4. Yes, I know. Just seeing if a double standard exists here... surprise! it does... n/t

[Devil Child]

9. You forgot "HE CROSSED STATE LINES"

As Grosskreutz also crossed state lines, but unlike Rittenhouse he was in possession of his handgun and expired CCW when doing so.

[xmas74]

17. Grosskreutz lived in West Allis.

He did not cross state lines.
Rittenhouse lived in Antioch. He crossed state lines.

Don't give me a geography lesson. Kenosha is my hometown.

8. no one should be armed.

but this is America, where every asshole has an arsenal.

only 1 armed person at the protest shot anyone.

[rockfordfile]

10. They're medics. Rittenhouse was just a underage loser that thought by carrying a gun

Rittenhouse was just a underage loser that thought by carrying a gun he would get a chance to shoot a person.

[catsudon]

16. people are ignoring the fact that the victims were

also armed.

[sop]

5. Funny how Rittenhouse didn't render any first aid to the three men he gunned down.

[maxsolomon]

7. you cannot protect used cars without an AR15.

sorry, that's just a fact.

[Initech]

11. Let me check my first aid kit - gauze, bandages, isopropyl, q-tips, aspirin, tape...

Don't see an AK-47 or an AR-15 in any of mine!

[sir pball]

12. An armed medic is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. nt

[lagomorph777]

13. I've watched relatives loaded into ambulances a few times.

I've seen a gurney, blood pressure instrument, IV equipment, oxygen mask.

I've never seen assault rifles hanging on the walls of the ambulance.

Have I missed something?

[CharleyDog]

14. A little boy has a shiny weapon, so cool, the gun is begging to be used

He can't wait to find a situation, rationalize using his shiny pretty weapon, those uppity BLM people (non-people) are bad and here's his perfect chance to shoot (LEGITIMATE!!!!1!!) thugs s/

so he says, "Mommy will you drive me over there? Then, can we stop for McDonald's on the way home?"
"Yes, dear. Don't forget your bullets."

[BlackSkimmer]

15. Why did the guy he shot who survived carry a Glock?

He said he was a medic too.

Boys and their toys. Sickening.
