protect businesses
[edit]the idea that this man travelled to kenosha is order to protect businesses is presented as a fact. Almost nobody beleives this, so "allegedly" is necessary 2A01:CB08:8BE:AA00:6319:1E5E:D49F:61A6 (talk) 06:10, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- The sentence in question is sourced to The New York Times and CNN articles. CNN writes that Rittenhouse "took a weapon and ammo and went to downtown Kenosha to try to protect a car dealership". The CNN article also refers to "a rise in amateur armed paramilitary groups at protests nationwide". The content here should be based on reliable sources, not what most people believe. —ADavidB 10:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Literally everybody who watched the trial knows that's exactly what he did. 2600:1700:5DB0:1040:19FC:3E23:C508:B8C1 (talk) 06:30, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Education and family straits
[edit]Springee (talk) Springee: You failed to notify me that you had reverted my and the article's most recent edits. You've posted scores of times to the article and at its Talk page. Unless you've been appointed Wikipedia's chief grammarian, I fail to see any authority or logic in why you restored a semi-colon in a sentence that clearly should be split. Ditto with the worldwide coverage of the complaints of his sister ignoring her pleas for $3,000 so that she (claiming substantial illness as the cause for the family's indebtedness and the impending eviction of herself and his mother from their home) can avoid the immediacy of homelessness. You also claim that the source for the edit I made, Raw Story, is "low quality" and the issue "undue." The source is non-deprecated, so I fail to see what authority you've employed to pan it. I suggest that you restore my edit as appropriate using one of the many solid worldwide sources that contain the same or similar information about the situation, including the Hindustan Times, Yahoo New Zealand, Newsweek, MSN, etc., etc., etc. By the way, Wendy Rittenhouse's Go Fund Me account solicited $6,000, and it was just a few hundred dollars short of receiving that as of a few hours ago. Thank you. Activist (talk) 13:42, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- The reference provided is not considered reliable, see WP:RAWSTORY. A quick scan of other references seems to show that they all simply summarize and quote from Faith Rittenhouse's go fund me posting. (At least one said they tried to contact Fatih R.) Absent reliable sourcing, and absent any reason to belive this rift in the Rittenhouse family is encyclopedia-worthy, I think it was properly deleted. -- M.boli (talk) 14:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Kyle ritten house only fired upon the three men when they attacked him 1st. The trial courts and jury determination was self defense and rosenbsaum was a registered sex offender and the man shot in the arm was a felon who did not have the right to carry a fire arm but pointed a pistol at rittenhouse after striking him and Rittenhouse fired in response.
This information is necessary contextual details to the incident that should not be ignored and any fair and unbiased reporting would illustrate it. Historianamerican (talk) 16:36, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
