Society/Culture Kyle Rittenhouse

[bourbons]

Grosskreutz turned up with an illegal gun and aimed it at Rittenhouse....havent seen you deride him....nor denounced his lying to the court to try and get 10 million bucks in his own law suit. ******* disgusting.

Well we're talking about whats happening outside the court now, not the events that are on trial. Also haven't followed the trial much really, why would I be commenting on something I'm not aware of?

No need to be so defensive. Grosskreutz does indeed seem pretty average from what you've written here, and the little bit about him I've seen written elsewhere. I'm also of the opinion it was self defense under US law from what I've seen of the event. Rittenhouse should never have been there in the first place of course, but that or how stupid he was isn't on trial as I understand it.

Ps. do you have that link to BLM activists or someone's uncle threatening the jury by any chance? Honestly not having a go at you with this, just interested. Sounds supremely shit and pretty illegal one would have thought if true.

Acting as judge, jury and executioner is something everyone reasonable can agree is bad too. This game is fun!

Good thing he wasn't doing that and was acting in self-defense.

You're acting as if he was just out there blowing away paedophile rioters like he was judge dredd.

Who knows if they would have been charged? If the rhetoric from Rittenhouse supporters is correct though they must have committed some fairly serious crimes. Why do they not get a chance in a court to defend themselves as Rittenhouse has?

Because Kyle is the law.

They all have. Plenty of times.

Not for the night of the incident they haven't, laddo saw to that. Just because someone has a criminal record it doesn't make them fair game to be killed.

You keep saying they deserved to have their day in court. What were their crimes?

It shouldn't, but it does in the eyes of many who seek to justify/defend the actions of the killer.

George Floyd is the perfect example.

They were behaving so threateningly toward Rittenhouse he will have it that he was forced to shoot them. I'm sure there was some criminality there or Rittenhouse's entire defence is bollocks.

 

[sherb]

"Psychologists have said the strategy — whether intentional or not — of shifting focus away from questionable violence and onto the past unlawful behavior of victims makes it easy for people to subscribe to the “they had it coming” trope and justify deaths or injuries."

What's True and False About People Kyle Rittenhouse Shot in Kenosha

Fans of the teenager launched an online campaign to smear the reputations of his victims.

It’s refreshing to see Mal and chief mercifully defending oppressed white trash males with a history of female abuse, a litany of restraining orders and a general propensity to violence.

That's my actual real life job you realize?

 

[yebiga]

Oh the irony, if Kyle had only known ahead of time that his victims were violent misogynists - he would be Mal and Chief’s hero now.

 

[yebiga]

That's my actual real life job you realize?

This is a joke
Your job is to defend women from violent partners but you are here outraged that someone harmed these violent misogynists! - and all 3 of them were recidivists

Rosenbaum has been behaving in a highly aggressive and threatening manner prior to the incident for some time, towards Rittenhouse and had also threatened to kill him, then he started chasing him screaming and throwing things at him.

 

[scoman]

Yep, a right that he decided the people he killed didn't deserve.

Im trying to stay out of this but comments like this are just next level stupid. How is this even logical?

 

[ChappyUK]

But if you say it in a sarcastic manner in court like Binger did it really wasn't that bad.

 

[RookiePick]

Kyle should have let a man, who had threatened to kill, actively pursued him and was attacking him, do whatever he liked to Kyle on the basis Rosenbaum would go to court later?

You guys realise Kyle doesn't get to respawn right?

The level of detachment from reality is astounding and presumably just some sort of perverse trolling.

These rioters aren’t burning down buildings none of this situation occurs. If police aren’t instructed to be passive on lookers at the instructions of the Democrat mayor none of the situation occurs. The rioters don’t attack a young boy with an AR15 for the crime of extinguishing their fire … you get the picture. Stop victim blaming Rittenhouse

This is a ****ing disgraceful use of the phrase victim blaming, and utterly shameful given some of the observed experiences I've had of people close to me that have actually been victim-blamed.

Not at all surprising from someone that starts a thread about a murder trial with "DA LEFT" because apparently everything has to be a left-right issue.

 

[Malifice]

Your job is to defend women from violent partners

Quite the opposite actually.

It's typical of these flogs. Cheerleading and partisan bullshit.

They think it makes them edgy to align with neo-nazis and the alt-right and to cheer on or be apologists for shit like what this kid did, while being completely unable to have a discussion around the issues in an impartial manner.

Says a lot about them really doesnt it?

 

[sherb]

Plenty of far left extremists turned up screaming sh*t too for god only knows what reason.

I'm not sure why you brought the "left" into it. The poster you quoted didn't make it a "right" issue.

They look like ****s to me regardless of political persuasion.

Sounds like RedVest4 should have used a #Triggerwarning

The moral superiority reeks from this egotistical post.

Some people are morally superior to others. Deal with it.

 

[SSwans2011]

Perfectly legal to defend yourself which is why he is about to be acquitted. How is that hard to understand? Why attack someone with an AR15 with a skateboard? Kyle was retreating and not a threat and these morons kept chasing him down and attacking

An 18-year-old carrying an AR, there to counter-protest that shot practically as soon as he was provoked wasn't a threat? Rightio.

He was so harmless he only killed 2 people and injured 1 other. Not a threat at all.

Was that man trying to stab him or shoot him with a gun? You can only apply like for like force.
