Kyle Rittenhouse extradited to Wisconsin
WAUKEGAN, Illinois — An Illinois judge on Friday ordered the extradition of the 17-year-old accused of killing two protesters and injuring another in August during demonstrations after the shooting that paralyzed Jacob Blake in Wisconsin. Kyle Rittenhouse was turned over to Wisconsin authorities Friday evening, WTMJ reported.

A LAD DEFENDS HIMSELF from anarchist THUGS, rioting and he is now the criminal? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE IDIOT so-called judge's and our so-called JUSTICE SYSTEM.
ReplyDeleteThe judicial system is corrupt because Universities Law schools across America have taught Marxist ideology for the last 50 years. The Commies got the legal system and the Media in the bag because the Conservatives slept at the wheel. Next target, the Executive and Legislative branches of government.
ReplyDelete@wilford - the evaluation you've made become official when made in a court of law.
ReplyDeleteThe extradition to face charges eventually was going to happen. To do anything less would be to undermine the laws we build our society upon. Neither public opinion (including ours) nor the foibles of the judge in the state where the suspect was being extradited from should take the place of the rest of the justice system.
Where outrage is due, is that the Illinois Judge allowed the extradition to physically take place before the expected Illinois review process had completed. They denied the time to allow Kyle's attorneys to effect an appear despite their declaration to this Judge that an appeal was their intent. That is not right. The Illinois part of this legal game should have been allowed the time needed to properly play out.
As a strong reminder think hard before putting yourself in a Rittenhouse-Paradox - where if you don't act thugs will basically end your life and if you do act a different set of thugs will ruin your life anyway.
Rittenhouse didn't need to be there. Period. Wisconsin didn't need Illinois folk to defend it, and perhaps Kenosha deserved to burn? Doesn't matter as it really was never Rittenhouse's problem until he decided to join in the ruckus.
Actions have consequences, and getting caught up in someone else's fight is not often going to work out well.
He worked in Kenosha and has a lot of friends there-your community isn't limited to where you lay your head to sleep at night.
DeleteNo one "needed to be there." Guys could have just stayed home and let the violent left do what they do, which is exactly why we find ourselves in these situations now. Good men like him need to be standing up when these things threaten their communities.
On the one hand, you're right, violence is better avoided. OTOH, All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
DeleteKyle was, last i heard, on tract to become a police officer. This is someone who keenly feels their civic duty to defend the helpless. However much I agree with you that it was, to some extent, his fault for even being in town, I completely agree with HIM that being in town and acting to prevent property damage and bodily harm was the right thing to do.
Even if I disagree with a lot of modern policing (i.e. modern bullshit bureaucratic "laws") that doesn't change that Kyle was doing what he thought right and good, while doing his best to avoid causing harm. And I, for one, agree with him that it's the duty of the militia (which he isn't (quite) a member of, being only 17) to act on their own recognizance to prevent harm. Would that all our youth were so motivated.
He's going to put that old saying to the test: better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree that he should never have been put in that situation.
Should probably use the buddy system in a case like that.
@Anonymous - quite agree that the buddy system or a larger team is the preferred way to to meet a dangerous situation, if you have to.
ReplyDeleteAs for Kenosha, if you have a long track record of feeding the bears and then walk-off your protective team, can you really expect Joe public to even give a sht?
Actually Kenosha and Wisconsin could be said to be "baiting the bears" creating a dependency situation where trouble was on the cards at the slightest provocation.
The arguments for a Rittenhouse become rock solid if they were acting in defense of their own property and their home safety.
Taking the game on tour to another state really complicates one's defense.
Rittenhouse should eventually get off, but likely broke and after losing likely 6m to a year of detention time. Whether he can build a new career and life afterwards even if found 100% innocent of the charges has too many factors to predict.
While appreciating Rittenhouse's fortitude and further appreciating that bad people died when they confronted the righteousness of a Rittenhouse, would it have been perhaps better if he carried on cleaning house given that he would never escape the consequences?
Time will tell, and the system will steal that time from Rittenhouse without recourse.
Next time he'll use .22lr or .300BLK from a rooftop with a burned gun, gloves and a script running on his phone proving he was whacking off to Latex Loretta Pt. 3 seven blocks away.
ReplyDeleteLet him go and call him what he is....a hero! If we had more like him, this shit would END!
ReplyDeleteGonna be a lot of hero's before this is over.
ReplyDeleteSomewhat amused by the Illini prosecutor who claims that to do otherwise would be "to undermine the judicial system". I think from John Roberts on down the line we have seen in recent times that the judicial system no longer has much integrity. Jeffery Epstein probably gets a big chuckle every time Roberts issues another sell-out ruling.
