“It’s Our Right To Bear Arms!” Piers Morgan and Kyle Rittenhouse Debate Gun Control Laws 

Seriously? How much more obvious can it get? Piers is a total coward he says anything his bosses tell him to

That may be. But, Kyle Rittenhouse is still a selfish, self centered, bastard.

He could have said that he feels terrible for taking 2 life's, no matter if it was his fault or not.

Oh shut up we both know Kyle did what he did when he was 17 because he wanted to get famous. Enough with the whole “he had to defend himself bless his cotton socks😢”. He’s now going to profit off his book that he claims is “only to tell his story”. I’m right leaning and I’m not even this much of a dumbass to believe every kid that ugly twat is saying 😂

Absolutely!!! 🤔

Exactly

He actually, didn't HAVE to do anything, if he was out there to put out fires and help people. What's the point in having a gun

The mob was terrifying to watch. I can only assume Piers didn't bother to watch that scene unfold and put himself in Kyle's shoes. Kyle was jumped by violent skateboard guy, kicked by a random, and then had a gun pointed at him by an Antifa "medic". He was retreating and going to the police. You can see him trying to turn himself in! People need to watch the source video before they have opinions about what Kyle should have done. Can't trust the media to provide fair coverage.

@gitoffmahlawn , Yes Peirs can be very pigheaded &one eyed at times .Working as a bouncer many years ago I have seen how the mob mentality of low iq pack (human) animals can behave and it is not very pleasant, terrifying to say the least .

That idiot kid should’ve never been there in the first place. How about the other angle of trying to put down a threat? He looked threatening the way he was dressed and walking around with a rifle. He Looked like every single school shooter I’ve ever seen

Why on earth would you respect him? Just watch his biased narrative during all his Israel Palestine conflict interviews. The man has got no honor.

I agree that this is a pretty clear-cut case of self-defense, but if Rittenhouse doesn't want his emotional wounds dug back open, why is he going on interviews on huge platforms? Why is he parading himself everywhere? Don't you think it would be better for someone suffering from PTSD over killing others to keep a low profile instead of doing everything they can to remain in the spotlight?

That's pure nonsense. Kyle Rittenhouse went to those protests looking for trouble. He NEVER served in a law enforcement capacity so his bs that he was there to protect property is nonsense. He got exactly what he was looking for. Unfortunately it's cost people their lives.

It's law enforcements job to do that, not some punk kid who wasn't legally old enough to purchase the weapon on his own. He got a friend that was old enough to purchase the weapon for him.

lol because people cant change, silly americans

This generation has become infantilized, and it's no wonder we have so many people in their 20s who can't handle anything without needing mommy. Now we refer to everyone 17 and under as a "child" as though there's no difference between literal children, adolescents and late adolescents. When Israel arrests and imprisons violent Hamas terrorists who are 15 years old, they protest on the show about them "imprisoning children". The Vikings started raiding at the age of 15. Throughout all of human history until very lately people in their late teens were considered "young adults". Most places in the world outside western-European culture still consider them the same. Society needs to grow out of this ridiculous mindset that there's only children and adults, and you instantly transform from one to the other on your 18th birthday.

Controversial because we went to guard property illegally. *Headline: Kyle Rittenhouse, American Vigilante* *From Georgetown Law* *Fact Sheet: Unlawful Militias in Wisconsin* "_How do I know if a group of armed people is an unauthorized private militia?_ _Groups of armed individuals that engage in paramilitary activity or law enforcement functions without being called forth by a governor or the federal government and without reporting to any government authority are acting as unauthorized private militias. They sometimes train together and respond to events using firearms and other paramilitary techniques, such as staking out tactical positions and operating in military-style formations. They often purport to have authority to engage in military and law enforcement functions such as protecting property and engaging in crowd control._ _These groups often engage in behaviors that show their intent to act as a private militia, such as wearing military- style uniforms, tactical gear, or identifying insignia; wielding firearms or other weapons; and operating within a coordinated command structure. Other factors-such as statements by leaders or members’ efforts to direct the actions of others-also may suggest that a group is acting as a private militia. Groups of armed individuals may engage in unauthorized militia activity even if they do not consider themselves to be “members” of a paramilitary organization_ _Does the Second Amendment protect private militias? No_ _Is it legal to act as a private militia in Wisconsin? No"_ _Wisconsin Constitution: The Wisconsin Constitution forbids private military units from operating outside state authority, providing that “[t]he military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.” Wis.

"That's the shooter!" Realistically that's informing others to take cover, to run, to hide, to avoid Rittenhouse. And that's what people did, in the video you can see them running away. People were frightened. Rittenhouse defenders call the protesters a mob but Rittenhouse's friends thought Rittenhouse was the mob. In the article it says that Jeremiah, a protester who had been trying to get to his car saw Rittenhouse start running, Jeremiah said of Rittenhouse, _"He knew he messed up," Jeremiah said. "He panicked. Even his people knew what he did was wrong. They were all shouting at him, 'What are you doing? What are you doing?' I saw it in their faces. I saw it in their body language."_ The article says, _"Jeremiah had received a text from a friend saying a bunch of protesters had their tires slashed. He wanted to get to his car before vandals did. He decided the quickest path was to cut through a parking lot. As he made his way toward it, Jeremiah saw more armed white men. Two crouched on the roof of a building, sniper style. Two or three others stood guard over the lot. One of them, a babyface with a backward ball cap, raised an assault rifle and pointed it at him. Jeremiah, 24 and Black, was more annoyed than afraid. He'd been out protesting all summer, more than 90 days so far. He knew about these guys and their scare tactics, and he refused to be intimidated. When the kid started yelling, Jeremiah shouted back: "I'm trying to get out of here. If you're gonna shoot me, just shoot!" A few minutes later, Jeremiah saw the same guy pointing his weapon at someone else. This time, Kyle Rittenhouse fired."

There is an active shooter at the University of Nevada. TODAY. This is what your 2nd Amendment wreaks. Nasty, cesspit you have there.

@@pureounce.9184 Active shooters don't exercise self-defense; they also instigate. Rittenhouse did nothing of the sort.

He's no dummy, just a bad person.

The title should read 20 year old HERO

Absolutely fitting of the cowards to change the title only for notifications.

@@shefalichow7917 May not be only for notifications. It's also possible to vary title by viewing region.

@@jimbobjimbob8275 are you a hero for defending yourself but not necessarily saving anybody?

@@tomrileydocs When the same people attacking you, are rioting and could potentially harm other innocents, yes.

Hell are you on self defense he killed two people should be behind bars

​​@@kelvinhunter5807kind of weird we have video evidence of two people running up on him. In America, We have the right to defend yourself. It's not murder it's self-defense and the jury got it right

​@@kelvinhunter5807 F.A.F.O. 🤷‍♂️

Given his reactions in Kenosha; I'm betting on discipline.

He's been smeared by the media. They've told one lie after the next. I hope it's a best seller that goes beyond the conservative base.

To be fair to Piers (dear God, what am I saying?!?), this is largely a matter of semantics. It was against the law locally for Kyle to purchase or own the firearm (hence why his friend bought it, and his friend's father stored it, with the intention that ownership would be transferred upon Kyle reaching the necessary age to do so). There was, however, a carve-out in the law that permits older minors to carry rifles or shotguns with a barrel length of 16" or longer. I would guess that the spirit of that law was to allow such minors to get into hunting at an earlier age, but the letter of the law wasn't specifically written to limit such permission to carry to only be for the purposes of hunting. In other words, they were both right. Piers was right that Kyle couldn't legally have (own) the rifle, while Kyle was right that he COULD legally have (carry) it.

@@kevreeduk222If I may, the spirit of the law was specifically written so that handguns that were used in street violence were restricted from minors but that minors were allowed to carry ordinary rifles. They didn't make the exception to older minors carrying firearms from a broad restriction on firearm carrying (itself a 2A violation but not arguing that point now), but rather the exception was to narrow the scope of the original statue under which Kyle was charged and ultimately dropped because ADA Binger and Kraus can't actually read very well (They were really poor at their task, or good depending how you see it). I'm just very disappointed Piers can't understand how a comma works, bringing up 2A in that manner. He needs to return to 8th grade and learn grammar rules and I wish I was joking.

@@dylanwarwick4429 Thanks for the clarification. In fairness, my assumptions were based on conversations within several of the livestreams around the time of the trial, rather than on the basis of any personal legal research. Yup, Binger and Krauss were... how do I put this diplomatically... entertaining? As for Piers, I don't think it's a misunderstanding of grammar, but more an exercise in deliberate misinterpretation. He made reference to having learned his lesson and no longer wading into the 2A debate, then basically ridiculed 2A!Disingenuous doesn't do it justice!

It's in the dumpster. Why else would they set fire to the dumpster?

I thought he was guilty till I watched the court case on tv. Once he cried like a fat little btch I knew he was innocent.

....one was a convicted sex offender......you found it " the smoking gun" ( pun intended) that there proves Kyle was not only defending himself, but, you know, this guy had it coming.

Piers was gentle and fair? ROFLMAO

Scripted? Lol

Piers was trying to paint a lie in this dude so hard and literally got caught in a Lie

He is on a press tour and when you get asked the same questions 10 times in a day or 2 why would you say the answer differently? Go home kiddy/gun grabbers

He didnt even acknowledge the families of the people he murdered. One of which tried to stop him from shooting the first person.

He would have had to murder someone to have needed to do that. And no the 2nd person was not anywhere near the scene of the first shooting. You really should look into getting better sources of information, unless of course you're just lieing@@Jayess-c

"He went somewhere and had a weapon and killed two people." Neither of which was illegal "My black friend had someone come to his house with a gun and he defended himself but he is prison." What has that got to do with anything? Details, details, details "Self defense or stand your ground rarely applies to black people." Unless you provide details then nobody could argue your friends case, we have the details for Rittenhouse.

Republicans supported the cop's response to the threatening sight of a knife. But when protesters probably felt intimidated by the sight of AR 15 rifles the cops were not only fine with it but they provided the law breaking vigilantes with water and words of appreciation. Likewise Republicans are supportive of not only the intimidation of protesters but highly supportive of the one gunman who killed protesters. Hypocrisy, pure GOP hypocrisy. I would ask Republicans, given how the cops conducted themselves, if they are even close to understanding why BLM had a problem with the cops but I think I know the answer, (not word for word of course) but the answer contains hypocrisy, delusion, imbecilic reasoning, cowardice and a lot of narcissistic arrogance.

They didn't shoot him 7 times over "the sight of" the knife, or else they would have ventilated his azz long before he made it to the car door. They shot him because, as he tried getting into HIS GF'S car WITH THEIR 3 KIDS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT, Ofc Sheskey grabbed his shirt in a final effort to prevent his escape, car theft, and kidnapping. And when Shesky grabbed his shirt, Black swung the knife in his right hand at Sheskey, so Sheskey FINALLY lit him up. He showed remarkable restraint until then.

@@PanhandleFrankYou say, "Oh calm TF down, Nancy.

And lean to read. In article after article the authorities from the police have said that the knife was a reason Blake was shot. Yes they did want to prevent him from driving away but the cops, the police union, the police lawyers and others have said that he was shot because he had a knife and was twisting his body around to face the cops. You say yourself, "And when Shesky grabbed his shirt, Black swung the knife in his right hand at Sheskey, so Sheskey FINALLY lit him up. He showed remarkable restraint until then." What are you describing there genius? (""The attorney for Officer Sheskey said, "The officers were compelled to use force once Blake began actively resisting the verbal commands." That was another factor.) ( He said it would be difficult to disprove an argument that the officer was protecting himself from Mr. Blake, who Mr. Graveley said had admitted holding a knife.") ( "The Wisconsin Department of Justice has said Blake had a knife in his possession and the weapon was found on the floorboard of his vehicle.") (Blake picks his pocket knife off of the ground and starts waling around the car. The cops are yelling for Blake to drop the knife. As Blake opens the door he stoops over and the cop starts shooting.) Do you honestly think your BS opinion alters the fact that the knife was of paramount concern for those cops? And in addition it is against the law and very reckless to fire into a car where children are present. The cop really showed how much he cared about those children by firing seven shots into that car. Wake the F up Carol. Likewise are you somehow trying imply that the guns carried by vigilantes were not a threat? Here's clue Carol, two people are dead and one was injured. How many cops were killed by Blake's Knife? I don't care how many sock puppets you use, you still spew the same BS garbage.

and i just googled how many people Piers killed at protests...ZERO

Kyle didn't have to be there at all. He chose to go somewhere with a gun and make himself a target. Don't cry about consequences you put yourself in. Kyle went there with the intent to use his gun.
