Not quite.
It's more like someone hearing there is a string of carjackings in an area or neighborhood and going down there with a gun to see what you can do about it, then getting into trouble.

You're correct. It does apply to everyone as choices have consequences. Rittenhouse was the only one that killed anyone though and it wasn't like it happened outside his door.
This should be under the thread above because This is what Gaslighting looks like... 🙄
Chalk it up to bad luck that the one guy the mob attempted to relieve of his weapon happened to be pretty handy with it.
Dumbass. And the one rioter was shouting the N word. Wtf does this verdict have to do with black people?
Edit by black people I mean racism against black people weren’t involved in this verdict.

IANAL, but I believe they are two different things that are often conflated and it varies by state.
Indiana has no "Stand your ground law", nor does it have "duty to retreat", or it least it didn't have SYG law when I took my class a few years ago. It was just assumed and codified that if you feel your life is in danger, you're within your rights to defend yourself using reasonable force that could include deadly force. Lots of Force Continuum exercises and scenarios were reviewed as part of the class. For example if an unarmed 5'2" 105lb lady started screaming and coming at 6'3" 240lb me, I needed to smile and walk away because I ran the risk of going to jail for causing her any physical harm. If she had a knife as she advanced, then I had a wider range of options, including using a gun. It worked the other way too. If I was the unarmed aggressor, her use of force could skew in her favor given the size disparity.
My takeaway was do everything possible to not play stupid games and avoid the stupid prizes.
Edited to add unless you're breaking into my house, then all bets are off.

Unless I've been missing something KR was running away, up the street, fell, and was accosted by the last two people he shot. Don't know about the first person shot, haven't been able to make out what happened there.

It is the.penalty when you try.to kill someone or intend to do them bodily harm. Kyle had the.right.to defend himself against these thugs and did.
Kyle got himself into a bunch of trouble and shot his way out of it. God bless him and the poor departed souls who crossed his path.
A gun nut idiot shoots three Antifa thugs.
Sounds like a self cleaning oven to me.

Methinks you don’t understand the definition of reasonable in reasonable force
Methinks you should call it a day.
Not sure at this point you are reasonable.
Reasonable force is anything necessary to neutralize the perpetrators. If it results in death so be it. Obviously the jurors thought so. Great thing to have an impartial jury. I’m telling you if any of those guys advanced on me I’d hope to have as much restraint as Kyle did.
Triggered is the people in this thread that can’t comprehend what took place these last few days. You included.
Same thing happened with George Floyd. Both idiots tempted fate to many times. Sometimes trash takes out the trash. In both cases some people are better off not using up precious resources.
The Loony Left picks some real winners to ride to the bottom. If an innocent person gets screwed, they’ll start telling you why Manson was right instead.
They bought the lie that this kid was a racist who chased down and shot innocent peaceful protestors with his illegal “assault weapon” (dog whistle) and even the video couldn’t change their minds. They are physically ill that he was not sent to prison for life for defending himself.

And rittenhouse is just the kid to decide who has used up too many precious resources
If I point a loaded gun in your face, would you feel like you were being reasonable to shoot at me with your gun?
With all due respect, you should just exit this thread and not return.
You’re clearly responding with emotion and not reason. Heck, even your fellow liberals are taking you to task.
Just take the L and come back another day.
You’re acting totally ridiculous and it’s making you look bad.
How about a statue based on the picture of him in the bar wearing his “Free as F***” t-shirt and giving the white power OK sign?
Title it: “The Modern Conservative Man”
Liberals checking in:
Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., said in a tweet that the outcome of the trial was itself an indictment of the U.S. judicial system.
“The judge. The jury. The defendant. It’s white supremacy in action. This system isn’t built to hold white supremacists accountable,” she wrote. “It’s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free. I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken.”
More alarming I give you our President:
In a longer statement released minutes later, the president acknowledged that “the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included,” but urged “everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law.”
Why does the verdict leave him feeling "angry and concerned."
And of course AOC weighing in w/ her typical ridiculousness:
"Does anyone believe Rittenhouse would be released if he were Muslim & did the same thing in a diff context? For people who say “systemic racism doesn’t exist,” this is what it looks like: protection of white supremacy baked deep into our carceral systems. Law and disorder."

This is a good example as to why people are upset about this verdict. I think you’re joking, but I know that many idiots out there are taking this exact stance for real.
Really dumb & bizarre for you to post this.
Bizarre?
Lefties everywhere - including the NBA players and talking heads - are claiming this as truth. Fools everywhere believe it. You may be the only one anywhere to see the absurdity.
How do you retreat when you’re on your back with a gun in your face?
You being so stupid and biased that you can’t take a joke is a you problem.
Go ahead and report me, ya Li’l Nancy. Here - I’ll help ya:
@TheOriginalHappyGoat
Any other mods you want me to include?
Tell the Internet Police too.
Sure must suck for you to have to suffer seeing the law applied equally and a few liberal hypocrisies exposed.
This has nothing to do with why people are upset with the verdict. This verdict is more racism. One of the thugs shot was shouting the N Word along with his wife. But you know, Rittenhouse is the racist. There’s no damn reason for BLM or anyone else to be protesting this verdict.
Interesting that you’d side with a dead carjacker vs the guy that shot him & prevented the carjacking.🤣🤣
