The GOP dives deeper into nutjob territory - Part 2

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Thursday praised 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who is charged with homicide in the shooting deaths of two men in Kenosha, Wis., for showing "incredible restraint."

Rittenhouse did so, Massie said on a radio show hosted by Tom Roten, by not firing all the rounds in his semi-automatic rifle during the incident on Aug. 27.

[...]

“He didn’t empty a magazine into a crowd. There were people around him who could have caused him harm, but as soon as they showed any sign of retreat or nonaggression, he did not shoot them. He exhibited more restraint than a lot of the police videos I’ve seen.”

Unbelievable. Or, it SHOULD be.

Massie said Thursday that Huber was trying to "attack" Rittenhouse and the teen "responded in self-defense."

“I would not convict him of a single one of these charges,” Massie said.

The reason they were "trying to "attack" Rittenhouse" is because he already fucking shot and killed somebody who had the audacity to throw a plastic bag at him!  He shot three people, two dead.
