Society/Culture Kyle Rittenhouse

[Osho]

Interesting that this account makes no mention of the altercation that ultimately ended with Zimmerman (the neighbourhood watch guy) shooting Martin. Again this was a very complicated case. I won't pretend to know all that much about it so I won't comment on the verdict. It does seem pretty poor that more of an investigation should have been made prior to releasing Zimmerman. I just find it interesting in these reports you just quoted (I think) there is no mention of the final moments or any context.

The post leaves out many details that don't fit the narrative. It is unreliable.

If Zimmerman was white, he was an absolute certainty to get off. No argument there.

Did you know they have a thing called "mutual combat" over there. Basically if it's gang bangers killing each other they wont prosecute. So ****ed up.

So pretty much in line with the anti-Rittenhouse posters in this thread

Wouldn't want to throw a blanket over all the anti KR folk, but the dogmatic ones, yep.

Was Zimmerman white?

My initial comment didn't mention his skin colour.

Another poster was the one who did that.

Black with Skittles. Blown away.

US legal system - "no biggie".

The country is ****ed.

Sure.
But if Zimmerman is not white, why speculate what would happen if he was white? Why introduce whiteness? Why not Korean, Jewish, Carribean?

In the first part Nadler shows he clearly didn't watch the trial. Slightly embarrassing for the gentleman.

I was referring to Zimmerman's skin colour, not Martin's.

I don't know, maybe you should ask that of the poster who initially brought Zimmerman's whiteness into the discussion?

You wanted to make it racial, like everything, we get it.

Still waiting on your story about how US vigilatism became such a hot topic for you prior to the Rittenhouse trial.

Excuse my scepticism.

You couldn't even get a "gotcha" right because you couldn't comprehend what was written. Lol.

And why on earth would I answer a question you asked? It wasn't in good faith, as your sad gotcha attempt a few posts later showed.

I don't care who you were referring to. By saying 'Black with Skittles' you wanted to imply racism.

You don't answer anything in good faith which is why you gave the answer you gave.

You have screamed vigilante for 40 pages like it's awful but you don't condemn the vigilantism agsinst Rittenhouse.

Ah, yes, Kyle is the true victim here. I forgot.

This decision is the right decision based on the laws in the US. The issues here are:

- the right to defend oneself with reasonable force (this is the same as Oz and I hate to say it but this was a riot not a protest, thus a grey area if the force was reasonable)
- whether it was appropriate to attend the protest (well under the concepts of a well trained militia, this is exactly what the gun laws are about.......being lawfully allowed to engage against a threat to law and order)
- the right to bear arms

However, does anyone want to live in a society which allows anyone, especially half wit kids and or extremists, to do what has been done here? Sure in 1850 in the wild west its fine but surely a well funded police, national guard and emergency military powers would be more appropriate in 2021.

But to rely on a well funded police and state guard you have to have faith in the government directing them. Pity that the US Government has gone to the dogs.. allowing rioting and looting

I don't see him as a victim. Just innocent.

Nadler sounds like a number of posters who have entered this thread over the last few days. Been a hit parade of bigfooty bigwigs screaming injustice without much, if any knowledge of the details. Nadler, like many of our own, will most likely calm down once they have a better look at the details.

Seriously - the guy is as addled as the lefties in here. That did not happen.

Finally you get it.

 

[Financialpanther]

Finally you get it.

He is the subject matter, not a victim. He is a kid that did something bloody stupid and was found not guilty as it was adjudged ok under their current laws.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Regardless of whether you thing he is guilty or innocent, I think we can all agree Kyle Rottenhouse has an extremely punchable face.

You should follow your own advice.

Oh, and learn to disseminate news from a variety of sources instead of believing the lies from whatever shitty sources you currently consume.

(I'm guessing... The Guardian is one of them???)

Lol - Pelosi is like "what the ****"

“Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest,”

Now, is he going to make an argument that just storing a weapon for use when you cross the state line intending to use it in a dangerous situation (or a similar wording) is as good as taking a weapon across state lines? I’d say that has merit.
