Kyle Rittenhouse Interview
BY Herschel Smith3 years ago
While I’ve never had to use it, Kyle explains that his AR was out of battery before he tapped the forward assist. It probably saved his life. I don’t know why it didn’t go into battery – bad tolerances, failure to lube the gun, bad ammo, or what.
Here’s another part of the interview where it’s simply astonishing the level of unscrupulous behavior the DA got away with.
And finally here’s some more of the interview.

Young man has represented himself well; perhaps better than many of us will ever have opportunity to.
I can only wish him the best, and that he has folks close that can help him navigate all the pitfalls that are sure to be placed for him in the coming years.

Glad he had the presence of mind to be aware of the condition of his rifle after the twisting & turning while firing that had gone on. A variety of things could’ve momentarily retarded the bolt to cause the condition. He fought through it.

Either he had excellent training or he has an incredible ability to keep his wits about him and to do whatever it took to save his life. Truly an exceptional young man!

Rittenhouse has some incredibly CQB skills.
By the way, Herschel, has your son seen the video of Kyle defending himself? If so, I’d be interested in his take.

The deep state is real and it hates us. That is all I need.

Almost the entire town of Coeur d’Alene has said they would welcome the Rittenhouses to their area, free of BLM, and Antifa.

I suspect that it was not the first time his AR had not gone into battery. 99.9% of AR owners would not check to see if the firearm was in battery. And most, even if by chance they saw that it was out of battery, would immediately use the forward assist.

* would NOT immediately use the forward assist.

Some people just have natural born, multiple, innate abilities. Some are atheletes, bean counters, engineers, leaders, magicians, musicians, physicians and killers.
A well trained and practiced ear knows the sound of a properly charged AR followed by a quick glance at the bolt. @Don, this is a rudimentary procedure in AR handling. The bolt grooves on the right side are purposely notched for this very reason.
Certainly you jest with the 99.9% forward assist comment?

He’s already cycled that gun at least twice. Ridding the world of a 5’3″ Pedo. I’m thinking he was checking his ejection port because it’s happened to him before. So yea, out of spec gun.

I don’t jest at all. I’d bet that at least 50% don’t even know what the forward assist does.
