None of these are felonies from what I am aware. People need to drop this "crossing state lines" bullshit. Rittenhouse lived within 15 mins of Kenosha county, his father "crossed state lines" to go to work everyday.
"Crossing State Lines" is not a felony, his AR15 was stored in Kenosha and he did not cross state lines with it. It's a bullshit piece of rhetoric designed to infer Rittenhouse was journeying hundreds of miles to kill people, it's spurious bullshit and it needs to stop.
I don't even watch news on TV anymore, but that's the only channel I'd go for actual news. It's actually good and doesn't need to stretch 1-2 hours of news into 24 hours to fill airtime.
But don't worry, that's ultra-leftist propaganda as well according to American conservatives.
Wisconsin law also makes it clear that you don’t have to be doing anything unlawful to be considered an instigator and therefore not entitled to a claim of self defense. Whether or not he was legally allowed to go walking around open carrying isn’t the crux of the argument.

Why did anyone "attack" him then? If all he did was go to a protest, and nothing else, why would anyone attack him? Do you randomly go up to people for no reason and start to attack them?
Between him going to that protest and people "attacking" him, something happened. We don't know what, but we are damn sure that something happened. Because people wouldn't suddenly start something with anybody for no reason, and they'd have to have a damn good reason if the person involved is openly carrying a firearm. So stop pretending this is clear cut that Rittenhouse is blameless. We might not know exactly what he did to start this chain of events, but we know for damn certain he did something.
And we know from the evidence that the judge wouldn't allow in the trial that he'd already stated that he WANTED to shoot protestors. It doesn't take a leap of imagination to suppose that he was doing something designed to give himself the opportunity to get his wish.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

You are correct. The only way "crossing State Lines" comes into play is if he had an iillegal firearm that he took from Illinois into Wisconsin. Not the case here as the gun was already in Wisconsin to begin with. But if you expect the leftists to stop it, you will be waiting for a long time.
