Very soon that little shit and his brain which was poisoned by right wing media hate talk and
white power internet sites will be sent to spend the rest of his life in prison and we will never
have to hear from him or about him again. I betya "the fellas" on the inside will be happy to
see him.

He would be getting the maximum allowed under law if convicted given the nature of the charges against him.

If Rittenhouse gets a slap on the wrist, then our justice system is truly broken based on race. CRT comes into play here.

he would not be on trial because he would have died that night, either shot on the street or mysteriously died in the jail.

...she was a nurse who helped injured and sick people. You know, sort of like the trained field medic that Rittenhouse shot -- and then left behind.

15. Know How He Could Have Avoided Trouble?

Keeping his dumb ass home.
We now know that car dealership did NOT request protection.
So, going uninvited, with a rifle, to protect property the owners didn't request be protected, is looking for trouble, by definition.
If he stayed home this could not have happened.

"In Illinois, concealed carry applicants must be at least 21 years old. Since Rittenhouse is 17, he would not qualify for a permit. In Wisconsin, it is legal for adults to carry firearms in public without a license if the gun is visible. However, to open carry, you must be at least 18 years old." https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/aug/28/facebook-posts/did-kyle-rittenhouse-break-law-carrying-assault-st/
