Society/Culture Kyle Rittenhouse

[scoman]

I guess that'll happen when you get a gun, go to a volatile situation, & shoot someone on the street.

Its not a good look.

Agreed, although it does look like he will get off most of the charges, which I think is the right decision based on the law of the land and the facts of the case.

Some prominent media is.

And plenty are not

Some prominent media is.

There's plenty of prominent media trying to get him to swing too. Not to mention a certain President.

 

[Saint]

Do you think that the majority of media on this incident has been pro Rittenhouse? When I search most of the articles I find are rather negative.

Well the guy is charged with murder by the state. How many articles of praise should there be?

I've been looking up Charles Manson, and it's very surprising that there aren't a lot of Pro-Manson articles prior to his incarceration. Must be the biased MSM, cos he had some following.

 

[Chief]

And plenty are not

I also talked about establishment, about general support from certain types of people and so on.

I don’t see the point in “some aren’t”. I never said all were.

I don't disagree, but you're not following the conversation here in its entirety.

Also I'm not sure even the articles that could be considered pro Rittenhouse (like Chief and Downhillskier are alarmed about) are exactly praising him.

To be clear I don't have any real beef with the media reporting on this case either way.

So you don't think he should receive any support?

Do you think he will get off the majority of charges based on the application of the law and the facts of the case?

 

[Chief]

No I pointed out the difference in support, and laid that at the feet of the hierarchy- Rittenhouse is a white boy practicing his God-given right to shoot people.

Are we presenting a dichotomy with someone like Jacob Blake and the treatment he got in the media space?

NFI who that is.

 

[Taylor]

NFI who that is.

He is the reason there was demonstrations in that city.

His former partner called the police as he was sexually assaulting her, they showed up, he didn't surrender to them, then reached for a weapon in his car and was shot in the back.

 

[ChampRevesby]

NFI who that is.

I think the Jacob Blake shooting was the reason people were out in Kenosha which lead to this case.

[Chief]

I remember that one now.

 

[Santana]

The amount of ignorance the anti-Rittenhouse crowd still shows in this thread even at this point is astonishing. Why even bother with them?

Got some more information on that aspect of what occurred?

You are starting to struggle here Chief. Do you have a comment on the incident or the trial itself? Have you gone over the footage of the incident at all? Read any of the testimony? Are you aware of what the prosecution needed to prove beyond reasonable doubt in order to convict him? Or are you just shouting buzz words like racist and hierarchy and supremacy and shifting sideways when someone tries to reason with you?

You have already demonstrated you know very little about the case as you admited to thinking one of the victims was black. That's ok, no harm there you don't have to be on top of everything. And yet here you are posting away in a thread on that very subject.

 

[sherb]

I remember that one now.

Not that six bullets in the back is police over-reach or anything.

 

[Balls In]

If only the mayor had taken trumps offer of deploying the National guard

Underrated. Here you have a breakdown of social order and the states refusal to protect people and businesses from an unruly mob. This is partly why there is a second amendment.

 

[Taylor]

Got some more information on that aspect of what occurred?

it is my understanding that the arrest warrant the police were informed of before arriving there was for the sexual assault of the woman who called the police prior to him being shot.

 

[Chief]

scoman, I haven’t talked about things I haven’t looked at. I’ve talked mainly about the support at the time. I’ve pointed out the difference in support and public statements and about the reasons for this - the hierarchy of white vs other.

 

[Santana]

If anyone is trolling here it's you. Didn't even know who Jacob Blake was

Jacob Blake shot in the process of retrieving a weapon while having an arrest warrant executed on him get's over 1.5 million dollars in support from gofundme.
Kyle Rittenhouse has any attempt at that blocked.

There's definitely a culture of assumption of victimhood.

Forgot his name, knew who he was.

Do tell how he’s not being represented… oh wait he is.
