Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty. That doesn’t mean he’s morally innocent.

But of course he did. Rittenhouse had no business owning or possessing his Smith & Wesson M&P 15 or being in Kenosha, Wis., that night. A friend bought the gun, which Rittenhouse paid for using a government stimulus check, because he was too young to purchase the assault rifle.
 
That said, a series of decisions by Judge Bruce E. Schroeder may have tipped the scales in Rittenhouse’s favor. He forbade the prosecution from calling the three men Rittenhouse shot “victims.” The judge called it a “loaded term” and said they should be called “decedents” or “complaining witnesses.”

More significantly, Schroeder blocked prosecutors from introducing three pieces of evidence that illustrated the trigger-happy defendant’s propensity for violence. A video recorded 15 days before the bloodshed in Kenosha shows Rittenhouse lamenting that he didn’t have his gun as he watched what he believed were shoplifters exiting a CVS store. “Bro, I wish I had my [expletive] AR,” he says. “I’d start shooting rounds at them.”
 
I know Kenosha quite well. I am pretty close in saying that if you asked 100 random Kenoshans if they were happy with the outcome of the trial about 70 of them would say HELL YES. The jury has spoken and so have the people. Deal with it .

Prosecutor Thomas Binger said in his closing argument at Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial: “You can’t claim self-defense for a danger that you create.”

It turns out you can, at least in Wisconsin. But just because the 18-year-old was found not guilty on all five charges he faced does not mean he is morally innocent.

He is innocent of any crime. I'd rater be judge by twelve than carried by 6.

Agreed on morality. We're a nation of laws; morals are left up to We, the People. Kyle has a choice to go the moral route or the immoral one. His choice.

As for the trial, while I'm truly surprised Wisconsin law puts the right of self-defense over the safety of innocent bystanders, it's their right to do so.

FWIW, Kenosha is a city of barely 100,000 and about 200 police officers to work one of three shifts, 5 out of 7 days per week. I doubt the court system is equipped to fight a $2M Wisconsin legal defense team. LOL

Money wins again!

Second, Rittenhouse appeared in January with members of the Proud Boys, a group that embraces political violence. Third, the judge wouldn’t allow the prosecution to introduce evidence showing that Rittenhouse attacked a woman in June 2020 as she was fighting his sister. The judge ruled that none of this was relevant to what happened the night of the shootings. The jury should have gotten the chance to decide for themselves whether Rittenhouse’s state of mind meant he was looking for trouble.
