IKR!

I don’t know about you guys but in self defense situations I was told you better have the bigger stick and know how to use it. AND, just because some one doesn’t have a gun doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous.

Let me hit you in the head with a skate board. I bet I can spill your brains out. Anything in your hand can be a lethal weapon. Let me stab you in the chest with a ball point pen.

Most state laws state that if a person uses an object that can cause significant injury or death, you justified in using deadly force.

Well I am to old to care. You come at me with the intent to cause me harm in that way, well the outcome for the attacker may be fatal.

Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6!

He didn’t. The camera angle is suggestive. Still cringe though.

AND he has his booger hook on the bang switch....

Not to mention that with no sights, that rifle won't be very accurate....

That's what I was referring to when I said it was still cringe.

There are theories out there saying that he did that on purpose trying to get a response out of the defense. Remember the prosecution was making a big deal out of Rittenhouse pointing his gun at people. Imagine this, the defense objects and the Little Dinger says something like I'm just doing what your client did the night in question. I wouldn't be surprised if that was his goal but I'm definitely not ruling out that he is a moron.

Was there an armorer present that handed him the gun after all the proper safety checks?

Yes and there was a armor present at the set of Rust when Alec Baldwin killed a person. Even though the rifle was safety check, Little Binger broke the cardinal rules of gun handling. Especially when he put his finger on the trigger. That's how tragedies, like what happened on the set of Rust, occur.

BTW I'm surprised that the armorer didn't lock back the bolt. I would have.

The number one rule of firearms...don't point you gun at anything you don't want to kill!

And if you do, the target should have half a heartbeat left to live. No mindless ranting, no waving the gun about. If the sidearm clears leather, align the sights and send rounds downrange.

Shoot to stop the threat and in the words of Ivan Drago; "If he dies. He dies."

BTW speaking of shooting to stop the threat, I like how Rittenhouse handled Little Binger trying to get him to say he intended to kill those guys.

Rumor has it. It's 2 jurors holding things up.
