My kingdom for a right wing extremist!
We need a pcr test to detect this condition
Then we could have cases
It would be like old times

If this case proves one thing it’s that colour doesn’t matter as much as one’s political leaning.

Don't worry we still have the Australian Nazi Party. These days its called the Australia First Party.

In what respect? Colour in the US definitiely matters in relation to the justice system - arrest rates and severity of prison sentence and the like.

 

[Pickitt]

blacks lives matter protest looking for trouble.

That's what I was somewhat confused about in regards to the trial, in who's mind is it a good idea to go to a blm protest with a AR for no reason, did he say his motive?

Late to the party hey?

 

[Pickitt]

Late to the party hey?

Very much so, only just learning of the case.

 

[i like ram-man]

Have a read of the thread before you dive in. It's a complicated subject which has been talked about a lot in this thread so not too many people want to rehash that.

What colour? I like Orange and sometimes Yellow - you?

Cliff notes version - he went there to defend property after rioters damaged some businesses the night before.

To protect a car yard he had nothing to do with.

I mean that a white guy shot some white people and it’s a race issue, only because of the ideaologies of the people that died.

I mean that a white guy shot some white people and it’s a race issue, only because of the ideaologies of the people that died.

And the ideologies of the people that have been making Kyle Rittenhouse Did Nothing Wrong memes. And the entire social hierarchy of the US, and really all the white-settled nations of the world.

If the shoe was on the other foot, and it was say an Africa or Asian American who went to one of those nutjob Proud Boys rallies/protests and shot up/killed a couple of crazy loons who attended that protest, do you think most of the people happy Rittenhouse got off.

Think you are being a bit naive if you think Race has not clouded many people's biases in this case, at least in the US.

To protect a car yard he had nothing to do with.

That was the bullshit story his defence come up with after the event. There were no protestors or rioters in the vicinity of the car lot. One of the owners, and a technician, we’re working as normal.

The lot just happened to be on a corner where some armed vigilantes had gathered, when Rittenhouse assimilated with them.

The owners testified at the trial they had not asked the group to protect their business, or gave them permission to do so. They were clearly trouble makers, who scared the bejeesus out of them, so they weren’t inclined to order them to disperse - in time they moved on seeking greater action.

[Brad Goodman]

Not gonna quote myself again but it does appear that his opportunity to become a decent human is lost.

 

[Jafa]

Just so you understand.

He didn't take a gun across state lines, he isn't a white supremacist and no black people where killed (despite what the media is still trying to make people believe).

Would the victims be African American or Asian (for an apples to apples comparison)?

 

[Lethality]

I like how the OK symbol is now the white supremacists sign. Do you know for a fact Kyle knew what it meant?

If you're standing with the Proud Boys doing that sign with others it looks like a signal for white supremacy.

Blame the white supremacists for co-opting it

I have seen people of those races at those protests on Social Media and TV FWIW.

Lol - it was the media that pushed that barrow all the way.

And would it be in self defence?

 

[bourbons]

The video (and the fact they sang the theme song for him) doesn't speak for itself?
