Society/Culture Kyle Rittenhouse

[sherb]

So you're going with ignorance. Good for you.

No I'm going with you assuming something as fact when it wasn't.

Again - think.

 

[Kram]

The thread hasn't been a disappointment, done a great job as a local loon magnet!

Doesn't take much thinking to know you are only against Rittenhouse cos it's a political weapon you think is advantageous.

There were 29 deaths relating to BLM riots over Summer 2020 but you have your panties in a twist over Rittenhouse's victims.

Why is that?

Also when law and order fails who would you rather fill the void. The rioters, anarchists etc. or the vigilantes you seem to have more of an issue with?

 

[RedVest4]

Rittenhouse doesn't play vigilante, and none of this terrible situation has occurred.

Stop defending vigilantism. It has no place in a supposed first world country.

But, if you want to play "look over there", I presume you would have supported vigilantes going in to the Jan 6 event and blowing away a few Trump supporters in "self-defence" when things got tricky? I mean, the policing was pretty ordinary that day too.

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

It's a shame someone didnt pre-emptively incapacitate him prior.

"Angry mob".

He was walking around with a armed militia fall of Proud Boy larpers and assorted halfwits.

Was by himself outnumbered 30/1 when attacked

He had a loaded rifle.

The fact he found himself isolated from the dumb ****s he was running around with is further evidence he shouldn't have been there with an armed rifle, not that he was entitled ti kill 2 people.

 

[RedVest4]

So you support vigilantism. Cool.

And you support the extreme outcomes of vigilantism. Cool.

It's all about deflecting from Kyle with you. Cool.

If you take that stance regarding "no law and order", you must have hated what happened on Jan 6 (as I pointed out to another poster). If only we had a few Kyles to go in to that situation and "fill the void", they could have blown away a few anarchists in the name of self-defence at the same time as playing policeman.

Was a completely different and overwhelming police response to January 6 including unarmed protester shot to death by police. What he did was closer to murder then what Kyle did

So according to the RWFWs this guy is innocent, but the security who shot dead the terrorist woman in the capitol, he was a murderer.

Yep, you're cooked.

2/3 attacking him also had loaded guns (illegally) and were pointing them at him when shot

So if he didn't defend himself and was shot dead. How would you feel?
Guessing you wouldn't even know the incident existed and would go on living your life until the next incident came along that you were told you should be outraged by.

There has been a lot of lionising of violent leftist protestors, even in mainstream media. You can't now complain that the other side brought guns.

I'm old enough to remember Charlottesville vigilantes being compared to WW2 heroes on Network television.

A protesting crowd, parts of it violent, damaging property, putting lives in threat, with an undermanned police force trying to control the situation. It's not different at all.

And the perfect environment for a few Kyles to come in and play armed vigilante tough guy according to the "reasoning" I am reading here.

A question for those keen to see Rittenhouse locked up for life, or worse......

What should he have done once he found himself isolated and under attack in order to protect his own safety?

The problem is bringing a gun to protests. Once you do that, every fight is a fight to the death.
There shouldn't be any weapons at these things imo.

Agree, although I'm asking to exclude all of that and place yourself in his shoes in that moment.

 

[scoman]

So murder him?

 

[Gethelred]

And you support the unjustifiable destruction of property and targeting of innocent business owners.

Who has the lack of morality here?

'Never play defense.'

Wouldn't the guys that set upon Rittenhouse when he stumbled playing the part of Vigilante as well?

Bringing a loaded gun to this thing and carrying it openly doesn't give him the right to murder people if he feels 'threatened' by a plastic bag and a skateboard.

You are not answering the question. Are you saying he wasn't under threat? Or that because he was there and had a weapon he should have accepted his fate?

By the way open carry v concealed carry is an age old debate in itself.

 

[Lethality]

I hope I would threaten to use the gun rather than actually use it. Maybe use it as a last resort.
