Again, the very definition of vigilantism.
ok I was making sure you weren't assuming that was what I was thinking. lol
A little further down in that article:
Ok something isn't adding up here. Total number of wounds 4, back, hand, groin, thigh. Yet the pics show a 5th to the head? So why is the coroner saying only 4 wounds if there are 5?

Several lessor charges were discussed but not pursued... not sure why. They really could have "thrown the book" at him but did not.
And that is what I keep going back to. Was vigilantism one of the charges discussed? If it wasn't, why wasn't it? There was something fishy about this trial before it ever started and it just got fishier as it went on with the expected end result of acquittal on all charges.
Both dismissed charges were charges Rittenhouse was guilty of.
I agree that something fails to add up. Either head is wrong or hand is or the head injury is an exit wound, perhaps caused by his suicide attempt previously, shot by someone else?
Another question not addressed. How many shots were fired? Did he empty the clip? What size clip did he use, the (if I remember right) 5 bullet magazine or the 10? Back in the 90s when I was firing an AR-15 they had just outlawed all the large capacity clips. And the one he used as seen in the pics wasn't a 30 round clip. How many times did he need to change out the clip?
It is mostly a case of follow the incompetence. You've a prosector who makes Lionel Hutz look like Matlock.
There is no criminal charge for vigilantism. There generally is for whatever form that may take, such as murder.
Makes you wonder who paid the prosecution to throw the case doesn't it. Note that is not a question.It is mostly a case of follow the incompetence. You've a prosector who makes Lionel Hutz look like Matlock.
Dropbox was being used for all documents etc between the defense, prosecutors, state lab.
Prosecutor Krauss for some reason sends email of drone video instead of using Dropbox.
Prosecutor Krauss sends 2 emails instead of 1. Lab gets video file A which is the same size as the original. Defense gets video file B which is 1/3 the size and much lesser quality.
Prosecutor Krauss blames it on the defense's laptop, phone, email software., "we're not responsible for what their software does"
Prosecutor Krauss used personal gmail to send files instead of a work/secure email.
Prosecutor Krauss has Handbrake and Format Factory installed on his laptop. Both are video editing tools. It doesn't mean he used them to edit the drone footage but does make his excuse about "having no idea how his team sent a lower quality video to the defense" a load of rubbish.
Prosecutor Binger points the rifle at members of the jury, flagging them (the act of pointing the barrel of a firearm at another) with his fucking finger on the trigger.
The entire prosecution team needs to be investigated.
ETA: The meta data on the 2 video files do not match. In fact it indicates the smaller/lesser quality file (B) was created 21 minutes after the first file (A).
I haven't looked at Wisconsin(?) but just a general google gets me this:
Yes, in the very particular case of you take revenge against a juvenile sex offender in Idaho taking advantage of that state's right to know law, the law has the word vigilantism in it.I haven't looked at Wisconsin(?) but just a general google gets me this:
so there are definitely laws on the books in at least one state, if not more, that have a charge of vigilantism.
That is going off on a tangent that has nothing to do with my point. No thank you.
I thought the point was to bring a charge of vigilantism. My point is there is no such general charge.
We'd need to look up the law in Wisconsin prohibiting vigilantism, to see what points the prosecution has to prove.
Hard to tell from the videos but it appears Kyle has a 30 rnd magazine in his rifle. It is curved which tends to indicate a higher capacity than 10/15.
I'm sorry I should have been more specific. I meant total rounds that Rittenhouse fired, no one else. But I think I can figure it out from what you posted.
Uh uh uh... Remember, the judge said they can't be referred to as victims.
I don't know about Wisconsin, but in many states, if you commit a crime and someone dies as a result, you are responsible for it. Kyle committed a few crimes here, and two people died as a result.Thank you. I had a feeling that was the case. I've been in that position here before many times. It's not a pleasant feeling and makes one wonder if one is really welcome here. I am sorry if I made you feel that way. It was not intended.
Regardless of whether or not his mother drove him or he drove himself, he took an AR-15 with him on that trip or had one waiting for him when he got there, he went with the intention of causing bodily harm. Full stop. Those fine details you are nitpicking over do not change that one simple fact. He went to Kenosha with the intent to cause harm and/or death. There is no other way to put it even though he claims he went to protect. His method of protection was bodily harm and death. That is not protection, that is vigilantism.
Vigilantism, again in the news, is an American tradition
For many Americans, law and order has long been as much a private matter as something for the government to handle.theconversation.com
ETA: Every time someone "takes the law into their own hands" (vigilantism) they are breaking the law. There is a very thin line between serving the public, and breaking the law. Regardless of the intention, vigilantism is illegal.
