It will not surprise me at all if Trump pardons him on the way out of the White House.

Correct. He’s more like Danny Bonaduce.
I’m sure that his big aspiration is to become the next Scott Baio

They are state charges. Only the Governor of Wisconsin can pardon him.

Well I guess if they can raise enough money for bail, that is how the system works.
See him in court. Which will be… when? Like a year from now? Trails seem to take forever to get started, especially with Covid.

Just for the record, there is no viable self-defense defense available for Killer Kyle. Wisconsin does not have a “stand your ground law” and its iteration of “the castle doctrine” only applies to defense of people.
Meaning a person has a duty to retreat from danger when confronted and using deadly force in defense only applies to defense of people, not property, and only at one’s own domicile.
His lawyers are fleecing the rubes for fundraising purposes.

Is there even such a thing as a good Christmas movie in any country?

(Which, ironically, slowly brings us back on topic. I smell a right-wing Christmas Movie coming where Antifa Satanists attack a nice teenager, as he defends the nativity creche in front of Town Hall in Wholesometown, USA)

He was, I thought, quite good in “The Lost Battalion” – one of the better WW1 movies, IMHO.

I’m not so sure. IAAL (although not a criminal one), and this analysis rings true here.

Its crap. It misstates several facts already noted.
Rosenbaum was shot at a distance, not while grabbing Rittenhouse’s gun. According to eyewitnesses
Rittenhouse had a duty to retreat from threats, not use deadly force
Rittenhouse initiated the conflict
Wisconsin prohibits use of deadly force for protection of property.
The videos were largely taken after the first killing
Being terrified from the blowback of a situation one created is not enough for self defense

Not a movie, but Weihnachten bei Hoppenstedts?
(Oh, this is so off topic.)
At least their evil is transparent, for anyone with a brain to see.
Everything about what this kid did was illegal. He crossed state lines with a firearm illegally and murdered two people.
He deserves jail for a long time. He is not a patriot he is a stooge for right-wing authoritarian murderers.

Maybe it’s time not to wonder, but to advise places that carry this crap (Bed Bath and Beyond is the only place I can think of) that you won’t be doing any of your Christmas shopping there if they continue to carry this shit as you can’t, in good conscience, even indirectly fund murderous a-holes.
I’d bet that boycotting movements will carry even more weight this year as a lot of retail places are already hurting because of the pandemic.

He also killed someone during the commission of a felony, which is murder.
It was a felony for him to take a gun that was illegal for him to possess in either state across state lines. Then he killed with it. If they prove the illegal weapons charge, some degree of murder is pretty much a given.

Speaking of murderous idiots, I really wish we could have a do-over with George Zimmerman.

It’s barely enough to get you into Elaine’s …er Diner. And even then you’re sitting at the counter.
