    Kyle shouldnt have turned up to a protest with a tool designed to kill people. He intentionally put himself in danger and then justified his shooting by self defense.

    Do you always blame victims? LIke she shouldn’t have wore that skirt? Or she shouldn’t have had that extra drink?

    He had every legal right to be there with his rifle.

    which completely ignores he did not need to be there, and wouldnt have had any reason to “defend” himself if he just stayed home The same could be said for the rioters; had they not tried to kill him, they would be alive today.

    The only person acting legally that evening was Kyle, and somehow you think he is responsible.

      You are comparing someone wearing clothes to someone else turning up a violent riot with a weapon to kill people, and then actively goes out to look for danger? And he had clothes thrown at him. He thought they wanted his gun.

      Yeah absolutely the same situation.

      Its incredibly strange to refer to rittenhouse as a victim

        And he had clothes thrown at him. He thought they wanted his gun.

        He didn’t know what was thrown at him. Well, the guy tried to take his gun from him. So, it appears Kyle was right about his assumption.

        Its incredibly strange to refer to rittenhouse as a victim

        He is the victim. Three violent felons attacked him, and he had to use self-defense to protect himself from death or severe injury.

        The only people at fault here are three violent felons who wanted to harm Kyle.
