Rittenhouse. What an American Hero. Will Biden apologise?

Whether it's my things or somebody else's things, life is more important than things.
Do you disagree?

Sounds like we agree on this verdict and here is another example of the problem in a different situation:
Come to find out something different happened.

Life is more important than things, meaning what? That we should not defend our things? That piece of land that my father gave me, I should just let people trash it if they want, and burn all the trees and pollute the water?
People like these pithy quotes on the internet, but in real life, things mean something. When you have worked and sweated for something, or it's been passed down to you, it's important, and you don't just let someone burn it unless you are a coward.
And BTW, Kyle didn't shoot anyone for things. He only shot to protect his life.

And why people shouldn’t make comments, rush to judgement or make assumptions before the facts come out. Biden’s comments were wrong on Jussie and Rittenhouse both comments were way off, some news sources joined in the folly, people took up the offense or the gossip and still believe
and promote the lies.

I do agree with you, but let me just add that such jumping to conclusions is hardly just within Biden's domain. IMO, let the facts speak for themselves.

It means, life takes precedence over material things. I'm pretty sure Jesus would agree with me.
If you want to defend your land, so be it. I don't think killing people is the right choice. I've never understood America's love affair with guns. Especially given the horrendous death rates that result from mass gun ownership.
It's not a quote. It's how I feel about human life.
It's not as important as human life, to me. Sorry.
He showed up there to shoot people because he thought things were being destroyed.

No, he didn't show up to shoot people. That's just a lie that's already been debunked. So quit repeating lies.

That's not the question. The question is whether you have the right to defend your property... And the law here says yes.

He showed up with a friggin gun. I won't stop repeating what is obvious.

Rittenhouse wasn't defending his property.
And I explained more about this in my post that you cut short.

It wasn't his property, and I think a screw up is that the police didn't tell him to leave such a hostile environment. If he were black carrying such a gun around while roaming the streets, do you seriously think the police would likely have treated him the same and even handing him a bottle of water? I doubt that very much.

Lots of people showed up in lots of towns with guns. They were there to protect their neighbors and friends. I applaud them for that.

Why? There were black individuals doing the same thing in the same types of situations.

Did they all kill people too?

Stop playing games, as you should know darn well why.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes, he did not cross any state lines with a weapon. The weapon was his friend's at his store, and when the looters and arsonists became very dangerous, he was given the firearm by his friend.
The report that Rittenhouse crossed state lines with an unregistered weapon was a false accusation by CNN, and every fake news agency copied this lie.
He did cross the state lines with the firearm, AFTER THE INCIDENT TO SURRENDER HIMSELF TO THE POLICE, BECAUSE THE KENOSHA POLICE DID NOT WANT TO ASSIST HIM.
This guy was realy inocent and you are gulping up fake news lies.
Telling me fox news is somehow right wing propaganda, and you believing CNN is evidence to your ignorance.
