Stephen Colbert wants to change self-defense laws

How did Huber know that Rittenhouse’s first act was one of self defense?

Not true. The first threw a projectile at him and chased him.

That isn’t the question, the question is, did he see a murder or self defense.

Before rittenhouse fired a shot…

He may have seen a murder.

We will never know because he didn’t get to tell his side of the story.

Rittenhouse had already killed someone.

The jury disagrees with you.

He didn’t care. He used a blunt club to attack without knowing any of the facts.

Haha… I’ll go down the stupid rabbit hole with you.

Who else was acting in self defense?

A maniac who attacked him for trying to stop arson.

Quit arguing you are just plain wrong. Yes you can subdue a active shooter but that wasn’t the case here. Before you sound stupid again, you better be 100% correct. Rittenhouse walking free McMichael’s in prison for life.

Bicep guy admitted he didn’t see anything. he thought R said he was with the cops, ran back toward the crowd then turned around to get him again at the mobs urging. Never claimed to have seen the initial shooting.

He saw self-defense.

Because he attacked with a club.

The jury followed what the law says.

Just as if Huber had subdued an active shooter and killed him in the act of defending himself he would likely have been found not guilty.

That is the point of all of this.

The law seems to protect the person who lives.

Rittenhouse was an active shooter.

Do people have the right to defend against that?

Again, the only active shooter is a figment of your imagination.

The only reason that it isn’t the case is because Rittenhouse lived.

He got to tell his side of the story.

You need to watch the tape. Huber and Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse. Huber retreated after the shots, then regained pursuit when Rittenhouse ran. Thats an aggressor. You gonna get your boy the death penalty.

You are making a good case for why libs should not be allowed to own guns. You can’t grasp the simple difference between being attacked and attacking.

But he did know that there was a guy shooting people.

From his perspective in the moment what did Rittenhouse look like?

If Grosskreutz had shot an killed Rittenhouse, would he be able to claim self defense?
