Provoking? What crap, seeing a weapon should deescalate things unless you are too stupid to realize you can be shot.
MSNBC, why would anyone believe a word you say? Four years plus of full time lying. To paraphrase the Bible, you cannot speak the truth because there is no truth in you.
Another pantload from MSNBC. A Puke-a-rama, vomiting, bile-purging spewfest of dishonesty and deceit.

Speaking of vigilante justice, what about the vigilante mob in the streets taking the law into their own hands and burning the town down out of a sense of needed social just-us?
This needs to be discouraged.
Ritterhouse was only attacked after he rendered aid and was separated from his group of like armed individuals, who were not part of mob action that night. Instead they chose to be a stabilizing force in the community with local cops chose not to be.
The bar for self defence in Wisconsin is pretty standard against most states. The prosecutor did not weigh the massive amounts of video evidence before charging.
Grabbing at slung loaded weapon is a bad idea.
Running from a unlawful mob towards a armed individual is generally a bad idea and swinging a skateboard at an armed individuals head is a bad idea.
Prosecutor does not have the political will or the skillset to push back media mob.
Chasing down and Pointing a weapon at someone who has already fired a weapon in clear self defence seconds earlier after starting fires and taking part in mob actions.
Things yelled by a mob may not be true.
White people shooting White People has been called Racist that most commentators do not know the 3 people shot by Ritterhouse were white. The most connected time in history and basic facts escape a large swath of people who purposely share their incorrect opinions.
“...his outrageously poor judgment in bringing a semi-automatic rifle to a protest...”
But the rioters who attacked him and were shot had GOOD judgement bringing their guns to a riot....
As it turns out, no matter what the lawyer Barbara McQuade may think, he did in fact make the right decision.. It saved his life, THREE TIMES.!!
Rioters can go there with weapons and use them. Rioters can burn down buildings. But God forbid someone go there to help do the right thing and carry a weapon for self defense.
If only all of these tapes of him that night didn’t exist…. Lol
Why are we posting this silliness here on a respectable site like Free Republic?
“... his outrageously poor judgment in bringing a semi-automatic rifle to a protest. ..”
He didn’t bring the gun to a protest. He brought the gun to help others protect a business. The night before rioters had been burning and looting numerous small businesses. He wasn’t the only one on hand to protect the business but as he was also a first responder he had left the business perimeter to help someone who had been injured. That’s when the rioters hit him and then chased him.
why is Rittenhouse on trial...and not the surviving rioter?
No, his innocence is established by the fact that he only fired at persons who were attacking him.
someone might mistake him for an active shooter and try to stop him.
No, active shooters are...actively shooting.
That's not the case here. Not even close.
PMSNPC may have a point here. He SHOULD have brought a fully automatic assault rifle to the protest and mowed down all the communists. Unfortunately, due to his outrageously poor judgment, he only brought a semiautomatic rifle, and he only shot those who were convicted felons who were also directly threatening his life.
Maybe that wasn't such outrageously poor judgment after all.
“In the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, a narrow view of the law of self-defense could provide an acquittal despite the big picture — his outrageously poor judgment in bringing a semi-automatic rifle to a protest.”
Oh, let’s talk about the “outrageously poor judgment” of the people 1) trying to GRAB that weapon or 2) hitting Rittenhouse over the head with a skateboard or 3) approaching Rittenhouse with a loaded gun aimed in his direction.
I have really tried to understand the opposition’s point of view but I just cannot fathom the lack of rational reasonable critical thought. The Rittenhouse incident has brought me to the realization there can be no coexistence with these tyrants. You can never trust them.
“someone might mistake him for an active shooter and try to stop him”
Yeah, Antifa ex-rapists really try to go after an “active shooter with a rifle” using a handgun.
I might - MIGHT - if in a store and I had no way to run. But almost no one does that in a violent, night time street fight. Nor would it be wrong for someone else with a gun to then defend themselves against the “hunter”.
No way in HELL was Skateboard Man a hero trying to stop an active shooter! Just utter BS!
Doesn’t add up? Liberals were always crap at math.
******
RIGHT THERE tells you the people he shot at were WHITE.
If they'd been black it would have read as "shooting and killing two black men and wounding another."
What about the outrageously bad judgment of those who showed up to riot?
Why did he need a rifle? ummm....because those who showed up to riot the previous night in Kenosha and in various other cities had attacked people who put out fires or offered first aid....kinda like they attacked Rittenhouse despite the fact that he had a rifle.
