Kenosha Riots

Are the riots pretty much over now that the national guard arrived?

Also, for the record, he's not being charged with Felony Murder.

The charges against him include one count of first-degree intentional homicide;
one count of first-degree reckless homicide;
one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide; and
two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment.

As far as I'm aware, the Fed has not pressed charges against him either, so the assertion that he's "committed a federal felony by crossing over from Illinois" is premature.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a community lifeguard who was working in Kenosha the day of the shooting. This simple fact destroys the narrative being peddled by the mainstream media that he had “crossed state lines” to harm the rioters.

In a statement by Rittenhouse’s legal team at Pierce Bainbridge, provided to the Gateway Pundit, they explained that “after Kyle finished his work that day as a community lifeguard in Kenosha, he wanted to help clean up some of the damage, so he and a friend went to the local public high school to remove graffiti by rioters.”

Additionally, the weapon Rittenhouse was using to protect himself and others never crossed state lines.

“Later in the day, they received information about a call for help from a local business owner, whose downtown Kenosha auto dealership was largely destroyed by mob violence,” the statement continues. “Business owner needed help to protect what he had left of his life’s work, including two nearby mechanic’s shops. Kyle and a friend armed themselves with rifles due to the deadly violence gripping Kenosha and many other American cities, and headed to the business premises. The weapons were in Wisconsin and never crossed state lines.”

When Rittenhouse arrived at the mechanics shop, he and others stood guard to prevent further destruction. Later that night, long after the 8 p.m. curfew had passed, the police began to disperse a group of rioters. His lawyer, John M. Pierce, explains that while dispersing the mob, they maneuvered a mass of individuals down the street towards the auto shops. Rittenhouse and the others were threatened and taunted, but he did not react. “His intent was not to incite violence, but simply to deter property damage and use his training to provide first aid to injured community members,” Pierce says.

Understand:

The media tells us these protests are mostly peaceful.

So why, then, do they fill so much newsreel footage with riots, bullying citizens, looting, and general mayhem?

Another thing that puzzles me. I’ve seen the video of Rand Paul and his wife trying to make it back to their hotel. Other, similar videos, too. In them, there are three distinct groups: Victims, criminals, and police officers.

Where do the networks get the videos?

Which is why I posted that he was "possibly" guilty of a federal felony. 

I see...so whoever gave him the rifle in Kenosha will also be facing criminal charges.

Just a reminder...the rifle he was carrying to "protect himself and others" was used to kill two people. Two unarmed people.
