Rittenhouse Found Not Guilty on All Charges

Proving that you can get your AR-15, get into your car, drive to a protest and kill people with impunity—as long as you’re not killing right-wingers all will be well. 😞

@bijouxbroussard It's not going to be long until we're shooting at each other with rifles.

I seriously thought Civil War wasn't in the picture but if we can start shooting at anybody who scares us... it's done.
@bijouxbroussard then just cry about it and it will all be forgiven

@bijouxbroussard If people come for you and your rifle, you can likely shoot them even if they are right wingers. By its very nature, that is a situation of deadly nature.

@bijouxbroussard No, it means you can defend yourself against people who [b]ACTIVELY CHASE YOU AND WANT TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH[/b]

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic AND WANT TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH

..... and how do you know that ?
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@RodionRomanovitch Nobody is expected to know the future, the law just requires that you can make a reasonable assumption that you are in deadly danger. And in that situation you can. Should, really. Letting someone who is totally unbalanced and clearly violent take your weapon off you is a grave tactical misstep.

@RodionRomanovitch One of them literally said “If I catch any of you alone I’m going to kill you!”

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic ..... according to Rittenhouse himself. 🤔

..... who also said before the incident that he wanted to go to Kenosha and kill a few fuckers with his AR-15. (Ruled inadmissible by the judge.)
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@RodionRomanovitch One of the accusers admitted pointing a gun to his head, there's a photo of Rittenhouse literally getting kicked while he's down...
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic That’s why you [b]keep your arse at home[/b], rather that going to find trouble…right ? He went there with an assault weapon—he was no innocent victim when he showed up at a rally whose cause he didn’t support. If he weren’t white, he’d be in jail. And the white men he killed were sacrificed because they were supporting a BLM rally.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@bijouxbroussard Why didn't [b]THEY keep their asses at home[/b] instead of rioting?
One of them was armed, they were no innocent victims, they chose to attack him, they chose this to happen, not Kyle.
Stop using the victim race card. [b][i][u]"supporting a BLM rally"[/u][/i][/b] lol that's cute, peaceful but mostly violent riots... The only reason he's not in jail is because those idiots were white.
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic And [b]you[/b] stop using the right-winged [b]racist[/b] card, okay ? It was a legal protest, not a riot. We have a legal right to protest in this country. And the police were present. A 17 year old vigilante was [b]not[/b] needed. And he made things worse—no one was [b]dead[/b] until HE arrived. What about that don’t you get ? And you don’t live in this country. Trust me, if an armed black kid had shown up at a “Unite The Right” rally he’d have been killed and folks like you would be applauding. 😡

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Kyle chose for it to happen when he showed up with no buisiness or reason to. He had no personal property he was defending, had no family he was defending.. he was just playing vigilante. Granted the homicide charges were a bit over bearing and cleay he had a self defense case on those. Yet it's ridiculous that he gets of from reckless public endangerment showing up to a chaos scene with a rifle for no good reason or purpose.
@MethDozer exactly the little entitled punk had no business carrying a rifle to begin with he went there asking for trouble and thsts exactly what happened
MethDozer · M
@ExperienceDLT Yeah, people point out he had family there. Valid, if he was standing in front their house with the rifle. It would be one thing if he was protecting something of his or personal close to him. He wasnt.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@bijouxbroussard Oh really? He was not right to defend himself? Were you going to be so critical if HE was the one killed by them? One of the accusers already admitted he pointed his gun at Kyle's head. Why are you acting like you're objective? You're absolutely obsessed by race, everything is about race when no POC were even involved. I'm objective, I see a bunch of idiots attacking someone and getting killed because they were stupid enough to assault someone who was armed [b]DESPITE HIM CHOOSING TO RUN AWAY and then STILL chase after him and attack[/b].
I don't care who, what skin color, what political allegiance, if you do something like this, you're not a victim.
MethDozer · M
@ExperienceDLT That said. Why is no one on either side pointing out the lack parental supervision and his parents who had such little control and supervision of their kid that he needed up there?
@MethDozer he was just a little punk looking to start some shit
MethDozer · M
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Why are you ignoring ignoring fact he put himself there and had no fucming business or reason to be standing the street with a rifle?
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@MethDozer He was there to help people, he brought medical bags, he actually DID help and has a history of good behavior, he brought a weapon to defend himself [b]HE DID NOT INSTIGATE THE CONFRONTATIOn[/b] you're blaming someone for being there, but you're not blaming someone for causing this because they got injured/killed?
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@MethDozer And why are YOU ignoring the fact that he's not the one who started the confrontation. Why is the one who defended to blame just because they didn't get killed?
@bijouxbroussard
Your country is crazy, in terms of this all.

I ask here and in my mind, what will it take to END THE INSANITY?

How many more thousands of souls must die?@SW-User

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Bullshit he was. And who the fuck is he that anyone needed the help of some suburban white high school kid?

Like I said, the homicide charges were garbage but it's ridiculous he didn't get the reckless public endangerment for going and escalating a situation. Just as it is ridiculous his parents aren't charged with child endangerment and neglect for letting hi. Be there with a gun.


You're right I'm blaming him for being there because had bi buisiness being there because this is what happens.
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic You’re not objective, you’re spewing the same right-wing rhetoric as the folks who only see protest by people of color as rioting and see the folks who stormed the Capitol as “patriots”. And again, in this country (where [b]you[/b] do not live) race factors into our law enforcement here, like it or not. Those white men who died were immediately demonized by the right. Their pasts had to justify why Rittenhouse killed them, even though he’d never met and couldn’t have known anything about them.
