The inadequate response of the local government is what precipitated these events. If anything, they do not want to be seen as not responding adequately to this, or they can expect more of the same. So they are more likely to swiftly convict him to distract from their own malfeasance. If people are talking about Rittenhouse, they are not talking about Sheskey. So if the people get their pound of flesh from the former, they will forget about the latter. That is what the prosecutors and the police are hoping for.
i actually agree with this 100% I would go further though and say the Whitehouse has turned you entire country into a tinderbox of division.

it really hasn't DDM. He was 17 with a loaded gun, in a state where you shouldn't be 17 with a loaded gun. It just needs a witness or piece of video to show he had the gun raised at some point prior to the shootings and his case of any kind of defence collapses.

By the laws:

What you're referring to is it is illegal for a minor to possess a firearm:

Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.

...

(2) 
(a) Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/948/60

However, another law allows for it in his particular circumstance:

Self-defense and defense of others.

(1)  A person is privileged to threaten or intentionally use force against another for the purpose of preventing or terminating what the person reasonably believes to be an unlawful interference with his or her person by such other person. The actor may intentionally use only such force or threat thereof as the actor reasonably believes is necessary to prevent or terminate the interference. The actor may not intentionally use force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm unless the actor reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself.

...

(1m) 
...

2. “Place of business" means a business that the actor owns or operates.

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/939/iii/48

But persons under 18 can use the particular firearm that Kyle was holding under the exceptions section of 948.630.c. If you follow the exceptions statue, you end up on "29.304  Restrictions on hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age."

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/29/iv/304

And Kyle's lawyer believes Kyle is cleared of the misdemeanor because of this.

This news article, who does not support open carry, also talks about this in less excruciating details:

As a defendent in a criminal case, Rittenhouse is entitled to what his victims never had, a fair trial to test that. What he undoubtedly is, is an example of how words can create real word drama and tragedy. Whatever the outcome of the Rittenhouse case, prosecution—with all necessary safeguards for the civil liberties of the defendant—may well serve the useful purpose of deterring future Rittenhouses and other idiots discussed on this forum like Zimmerman, and McMichaels. Would-be vigilantes Larpers may think twice before taking actions that could kill others and subject themselves to extended investigation at best, and prison terms at worst.
So we will see.

Rittenhouse was most there to clean up the city, giving out first aid and putting out literal fires that were about to be pushed into gas pipes. The latter of which he was attacked for and shot out for, causing his retaliation.

His actions were heroic tbh.

he frightened first aiders who were already there, who have openly said his behaviour was troublesome prior to the shooting. Still, he gets a day in court, more than his victims did.

He is caught on camera giving first aid to them, so their unverified heresy won't hold up as well as video footage of rittenhouse doing good deeds in court...

The terrorists shouldn't have attacked him, then he wouldn't have needed to defend himself.

Marimackenzie's medic partner gestured to the young man.

"Avoid that guy. He looks like bad news."

She would later learn the man who'd drawn her partner's warning was Rittenhouse.

The terrorists should have listened to the medic and not attacked the kid.

They really should have lol.

The more I look at the Rittenhouse case the more I think he's innocent.

I love seeing the Rittenhouse haters get their arguments picked apart. Makes me smile.

Rittenhouse attorneys won't say who invited teen to protect property; Kenosha dealership owner says it wasn't him... Intruiging.

The meltdown when he gets acquitted is going to be fantastic.

Since Rittenhouse is being charged as an adult, he may spend the rest of his natural life in prison. This means that this 17-year-old virgin is going to prison without having been with a woman, and his first and only sexual experiences will be with men. Since black people are disproportionately policed, they are over-represented in prison. I wonder how all of the black men, who will make up the majority of his fellow inmates, will feel about him murdering people protesting a police officer murdering an unarmed black man in front of his three minor children while responding to a call that was not about him? Surely, they will see him as an upstanding citizen who was just defending himself like all of the gaslighting racists here believe. On second though, Rittenhouse did not really think this out. I hope his cherry ass enjoys prison!
