Comment on Rittenhouse killed two people and bragged about it. Colleges shouldn't host him to speak.

Well from what he was actually charged with we can start with Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18

Rittenhouse was armed with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle. He was 17 years old on the night of the shootings. Wisconsin law prohibits minors from possessing firearms except for hunting.

He was also failing to comply with an emergency order which put a curfew in place.

Whoever purchased the firearm for Kyle, allegedly with Kyle’s money, committed a “straw purchase”.

Trafficking illegally obtained firearms over state lines is also a felony.

I still find it odd the prosecution dropped the ball so badly on this case.
