In reply to the discussion: Judge: Prosecutors can't show Rittenhouse link to Proud Boys [View all]Ford_Prefect
(8,638 posts)This is like when the bully provokes a kid when the teacher isn't looking and then the teacher only sees the reaction to the provoking, hence my remark about provocation.
Rittenhouse should never have been on that street nor armed on that street. The Police failed to keep order 4 times and should be prosecuted for it. They failed to prevent Rittenhouse from engaging the public with a weapon as much as if he'd gone into a school in the same condition. Their responsibility is very clear in this.
They also failed to protect the three people Rittenhouse murdered from his actions provoking the confrontations and shootings.
I have seen bullies bait people too many times not to see Rittenhouse as one of them. I have been there myself facing one down.
He knew he was carrying death in his hands and he had to know he was acting outside any law, and he thought the Police approved his presence and his intentions. He was there to get his adrenaline fix and the other nasty chemistry bullies crave from dominating other people.
He was there to be a predator and he succeeded.
