Even if no shots were ever fired it seems Rittenhouse violated  anumber of laws:1
1) he was underaged to be carrying a weapon in public in WI (17, law requires 18)
2) he transported a gun across state lines (I'm unclear on what law he broke, but one site made it sound like this was a violation if the gun started in ILL and went to WI)
3) he was out past the 8:PM curfew

Otherwise he was just a law-abiding teen walking around with a deadly assault rifle during volatile protests.

Your #2 is reportedly incorrect

And this doesn't excuse those who assaulted him.

SMERCONISH very nicely played it down the middle.  Here is what we know - and now the legal system will sort it out

Why is that name in all caps?   Is it an organization or government agency?

By the time Kid is through with this, he'll be hosting a parade for Rittenhouse. It won't cost him much as he still has the supplies from the George Zimmerman parade.

But what about my previous point.
What kind of society permits anyone to walk around in public carrying military style weaponry? 

Kid would be glad to consider larger questions of social reform, but unfortunately they require more than 288 characters to address,   and also require research and extended periods of thought.   Anyway,  he knows "the legal system will sort it out. "  And he can host parades and wave his foam finger for RW vigilantes while we wait for that.

Police killed a twelve year old playing with a toy gun while a 17 year old walks past police after killing two and wounding one.

Trying to play this down the middle is bullshit.

Still can't tell a rhetorical question, huh?  I know who Smerconish is.

R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman.

Sad and very premature loss.   A short but impressive career,  all the more remarkable for his stoic dedication to his work while he spent the last four years undergoing treatments.   

Early death from colon cancer was almost unheard of before the era of industrial farming and superprocessed food.   We need to get ourselves back to the garden.

As ear worms go, not a bad one to have stuck in my head, to go with the visuals from the prior post.

Probably because they are busy looting and inciting violence, the lawless treasonous bastards.
