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

I just read the wiki article about him. How is he the bad guy?
He isn’t. He was a liberal kid, trying to do the right thing and several people attacked him. He defended himself and the liberals turned on him.
Broke federal law having another buy a weapon for him, crossed state lines with an unregistered weapon with the specific intent to brandish and incite.
He is the reason people should be armed, so they can shoot criminals like him.
You realize most of this is misinformation.
You have a cite he crossed state lines with a weapon? What specific crime is that? What is an unregistered weapon? Can you cite the applicable state law?
Let’s see you back up these claims
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.
No Wisconsin law does not prohibit it. That is why the charge was dropped.
The weapon never crossed state lines.
The prosecution didn't drop the ball. Most of what you are saying is false.
The straw purchase fell apart as well.

Being gifted guns by your family is legal and protected.
Crossing state lines with a gun is legal.
Gun registration isnt a thing in America.
He was there to defend local businesses.
He defended himself from a man who chased him and grabbed his gun, from amother man who struck hin with a skateboard, and from yet another man who pointed a glock at him.
He was rightfully found not guilty on all charges. And yes, he is a great example of why people should be armed, a perfecr example of self defense.
If aomeone attacks you with a skateboard you shoot him in the face and brag about it. Americans are fucking cavemen
A skateboard to the head can kill. What, would you really take a skateboard to the head and do nothing about it? Maybe call the cops and give them a report from the hospital?
Where did he brag about it? A skateboard to the head would cause serious injury or death. Yes, I would shoot someone trying to hit me with a skateboard.
He never crossed a state line with a gun. While it is legal, it never happened.
He also showed great trigger discipline and accuracy. He only shot the targets he was trying to shoot and didn't hit any bystanders.
