He should be out on bail.
The only logical reason I can see for not having him out on bail is protective custody.
And why they wanted to waive the right to have a quick preliminary hearing blows my mind.
They are trying to milk this cash cow and keeping Rittenhouse in prison for doing that.
And it makes me **mad**
Yea, above all else I think that Rittenhouse and his poor mother were taken in by these vultures swooping in from overhead who wanted to A) make this cause a cause célèbre for 2A rights and B) solicit donations to "help Kyle" but really just using the money to pay for other expenses in this "foundation."
More than any of that, though, I just think that they've done him a disservice by not using their best judgment in terms of doing what is actually best for him given the situation.
@Neph (Nec) / Krystaps (War), you just advanced to level 1!
They freed Kyle
That's sad. At the least that kid needs help.
Good, I'm glad he's able to see his friends and not sit in a prison cell at the moment.
@Maw, you just advanced to level 12!
On bail I presume?
Good.
I doubt the "safe" part, though. Hope they hid him well.
I cant imagine him having access to anyone with experience fighting communists. It is somewhat different from other forms of security.
Glad they got them out of there. there was this Twitter account that was soliciting information on Kyle's cell number when he got to jail
that was a pretty scary tweet, lol
@Neph (Nec) / Krystaps (War) it’s funny how they bring up the “white privilege” bs but ignore the fact that only whites got shot and a black man who assaulted him didn’t get shot
I've had the "White privilege" discussion with a number of my progressive friends and I can never get them to articulate a logical reason for what it is beyond this idea that I benefit from it because I am white.
My stock answer is: Oh, I AM privileged. I am privileged to have been born to my mother and father who worked damn hard in order to provide me with what I have now.
None of that has to do with skin color...but with grit and determination
but, I digress
white privilege sounds like something the Klu Klux Klan made up
maybe their counterparts arent much better? 🙂
I swear by the structure and naming convention they used, they wanted to be taken as least seriously as possible ironically enough.
"Grand Council of Yahoos"
"Grand Wizard." "Exalted Cyclops."
Like 4chan in the 19th century.
Are most people here pro rittehouse?
I'm sure a lot of people are, yes.
Legally anyway.
I really think he acted in a dumb, immature manner and definitely shouldn't have been doing what he was doing, but I also think that he didn't murder people.
I ceased typing when I saw you typing because I assumed you would say the same thing. Was not disappointed.
👍
So not murder but manslaughter? What consequences do you think there should be? @Maw
@shadownight2018, you just advanced to level 1!
Manslaughter is different, and I don't think it's manslaughter either.
