Do you support that situation?

If the answer is no, we agree so I have no idea why you're calling me out in disagreement.

I don't, but it just seems like you're trying to make out that this event will be the catalyst for future violence when this event is really a reaction to existing violence of domestic terrorists in the US (BLM, Anti-fa etc)

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

It's just another example of the imbalance in the American justice system which wouldn't be so bad if the ball broke the way of the black dude in possesion of a crack pipe and enough weed for a couple of joints occasionally.

School shooter released on bail not enough for you?

I was about to quote you on that as well. Plenty of guns including rifles being carried around Kenosha by people on both sides that week and in other similar situations all over the US of A.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

How is greenlighting literal armed shootouts and gun battles at protests respect for law and order?

Oh FFS. It wasn't a ****ing protest. It was a ****ing riot. Complete with bashings, burning and destruction of property, and everything else.

Antifa/BLM started a war and you seem pissed off that when the cops wouldn't defend them, some citizens took it upon themselves to defend themselves. How dare they resist?? Outrageous!!

 

[Malifice]

Oh FFS. It wasn't a ******* protest. It was a ******* riot

Ok so you would have no issue with ANTIFA heading down to something like Cronulla riots armed with rifles and shooting dead any of the Aussie Pride crew who tried to disarm them?

Yes or No?

No. Not if they were protecting property, putting out fires, and being violently attacked for it.

But there's no way Antifa will put themselves in harm's way like that. They're pussies who rely on the protection of mobs.

And the Croniulla Riot True Blue Crew differed how?

 

[Chief]

You thought one of the victims was black, you now think Rittenhouse was 15.

So? What’s the substantive difference in the observation that he took a rifle to “fight fires” and people died?

And: you don’t have to answer my posts.

Is this whataboutism?

The Cronulla Riots were entirely different. But I don't recall much criticism from "your side" when car loads of Lebanese turned up that night and smashed up the joint "vigilante style".

Because he had a fire extinguisher to fight fires. He had the rifle for protection. Turns out he needed it.

Or did the rifle just attract the attention of people wanting to take it off him?

And why did HE think he needed to be there if it was so dangerous? What pilled him into thinking he was the saviour here? There seems to be a desperate need to make out this was in any way normal behaviour for a teenager.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Why are people trying to put an Australian context on inexplicable events in the dingbat USA? It’s not possible.

What offends you so much about young men acting to protect the property of their community? In circumstances where the police won't?

It's almost as though if the Chinese invade we should just accept it and leave it to "the authorities".

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Im not here to cheerlead. If he gets off or not, that's a question of the law.

....and how much pressure can BLM/Activists put on the jury in fear of making the right or wrong decision.

A question you seemed to falter on repeatedly when it was put to you if you would support some ANTIFA dude doing exactly what he did.

I would 100% and i absolutely abhore Antifa terrorism and rioting bullshit.

property of their community

I was under the impression he travelled there from a different area.

One is objective the other subjective. Nobody will dispute his age, plenty will dispute his depiction as a firefighter.

Have you managed to put even 5 minutes into informing yourself about this case yet?

Army mate, not authorities.

 

[sherb]

He did, he lived about 20 miles away. But you're not supposed to mention that.

It's like someone in Penrith here in Sydney deciding to get involved in a situation in Blacktown or Parramatta.

 

[Chief]

The legalities? Mal’s explained that so that’s fine.

Other bits and pieces really aren’t that relevant. Exact age etc. Doesn’t change the overarching idea that the stupidity of his behavior shouldn’t be minimised, least of all by the US President. Or the idea that this is a hierarchical battle.

Saw the video of Rittenhouse punching a girl. Is that pertinent?

Happy for people here to set me straight on the little details. That’s what this thread is for.

You seem offended that I haven’t memorised the entire trial. You don’t have to answer any of my posts.

Did all the rioters live in the street they destroyed property on?

I don’t think that’s relevant: let’s all agree that it’s generally wrong to burn down private property.

This information is out there Chief. It's not hard to find. You have the skills. Why do you choose not to use them?

But I can help you because I am a special type of awesome....

His father lives in Kenosha as does his sister's boyfriend who also happens to be his best mate. They were quite close and he actually purchased and stored Rittenhouse rifle at his place in Kenosha. The distance between Rittenhouse's home and Kenosha is 30 miles I think. Rittenhouse had been in the town on that week as he was very regularly and had witnessed some of the destruction from previous nights events. The mate invited Rittenhouse to join him to help defend a motor dealership on the night in question.

 

[bourbons]

Ultimately, he was defending himself, and should be found not guilty. But fu** me, a child enters a troublesome situation armed with a gun? That's not normal, that's not a "nothing to see here" moment. Something has to change.

'MERICA, **** YEAH!

But yep, this about sums it up for mine.

Do you know why he was in Kenosha? Are you aware of the connection? Are you interested?

And thank you for sharing them so kindly. You’re an asset to the forum.
