    Testimony would indicate they (Huber, Grosskreutz) didn’t have a clear idea why they were chasing him and certainly not firsthand knowledge of the events between Rosenbaum and Rittenhouse.

    Somewhat ironically the claims about Rittenhouse causing provocation merely by carrying a rifle openly would have been alleviated if he’d been legally allowed to carry a handgun instead.

    They made a mistake. They shouldn’t have chased and attacked someone just because the general consensus of the mob was ‘get him!’ Kind of the same way the McMichael’s shouldn’t have chased Arbery without any firsthand knowledge of events. That Rittenhouse was acquitted and the McMichael’s were found guilty is evidence that these two juries judged these separate events in a similar way.

    10,000$ bail = 1,000$ bond

    Huber said he heard gunshots and the crowd was yelling "he shot him!" He testified his actions were because he believed Rittenhouse to be an active shooter.

    And if Huber had shot and killed Rittenhouse, he would have walked on a self-defense defense.

    Isn’t that Fox News? Most widely watched cable news channel.

    Or the Sinclair group which controls the most local tv stations?

    Or is it the other news networks whose parent companies donate to the GOP and other conservative causes?

    And let's not forget the ones that weren't often had right wing agitators causing the violence.

    It's a fact that conservative grifters are OVERSTATING the damage of riots. "Entire cities being burned down" why can't they just admit that this is incredibly sensationalist and dishonest way to frame them?

    Also, it's like the 2010's, where conservatives took THE BIKE LOCK GUY clocking some dude with a bike lock as an example of how every antifa protest is violent. Like "LOOK AT THIS ONE GUY WHO HIT A GUY WITH A BIKE LOCK THIS IS EVERY ANTIFA THERE IS".

    Conservative media and grifters are wildly dishonest. I have no trouble admitting that damage was caused. I'm also well aware that the reasons these riots are happening is because cops are getting away with murdering black people. The very foundation and trust in our law system is completely gone in some communities all because a few racist fuckwit cops want to pump some lead into ""thugs"".

    And the easy solution? Reform these police stations and remove the systemic racial bias. Restore trust among the community.

    Conservative solution: "BRING OUT THE FIRING SQUAD AND EXECUTE THEM ALL"

    Yes, tons of conservatives have said and retweeted that protestors should just be killed on sight. This isn't some fiction, this is reality.

    If someone damages property, prosecute them under the law of property damage.



    "They deserve death at the hands of random vigilante teenagers" is a stupid fucking argument and I don't know why you guys keep making it and trying to justify it with "WELL THEY'RE VIOLENT".

    That's not how the American justice system works. If you want protestors and rioters to be shot and killed, you are completely ignoring most of the first ten amendments of the constitution. If you just hate the constitution for not allowing you to mow down protestors with an AR 15, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

    Can you please teach it to this guy then? Especially since that guy doubled down that it was $1k bail when someone pointed out the error?

    JFC dude just admit you were wrong. It doesn't hurt. I promise.

    If you tally up Fox News against CNN, PMSNBC, Headline News, ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News I believe you will find Fox News in the minority. But you knew that. The MSM (mainstream media) does not include Fox News and never has... this is why Fox routinely calls out the MSM (i.e. their competitors).

    It's a fact that the Left and MSM understated them... calling them "protests" and "mostly-peaceful protests."

    Oh... you mean the truth. Yes, the left and "MSM" did state the truth.

    That's like saying that Coke isn't mainstream because, if you stack all it's competitors into a single entity, Coke is in the minority.

    FNC isn't considered part of the mainstream media, in part because it was created to counter the mainstream media. Those who don't know this haven't been paying attention.

    "We're not the mainstream...because we say so"

    Well shit, I guess anyone can just declare themselves not mainstream.

    Wow, reality hits the Left hard bro...
    Reality seems to have missed you entirely, "bro"

    Let's take a look at some of those "mostly-peaceful protests" from last year... if you dare. I dare you. I triple-dog dare you.

    In not so unrelated news; three white men were found guilty for murdering Arbery, a Black man, in Georgia in February 2020.

    A jury convicted the man who shot Arbery, Travis McMichael, on each of the nine counts, including malice murder, that he was facing. His father, Gregory McMichael, was found guilty on eight counts, which included felony murder and aggravated assault.

    The man who recorded the shooting, William "Roddie" Bryan, was convicted on six counts, including felony murder and aggravated assault.

    The final panel selected in the trial over Ahmaud Arbery's death consists of 12 jurors: Nine white women, two white men and one Black man – a demographic makeup that has drawn scrutiny in a case several public figures have called a "lynching." Three others – two white women and a white man – served as alternates.
