Kenosha shooting suspect Kyle Rittenhouse ordered to stand trial

[beanman12345]

Rittenhouse on the lamb while awaiting trial, terrorists going out of country for vacation while awaiting trial, these are true "victims."

Only because it's used so much in the last page I went to look it up, apparently the expression is "On the lam" not "on the lamb".

Sorry, as you were.

We got a bit over 74 million over here who would blame the lamb for being the pervert, if this thread is anything to go on, that would be the excuse.

Slightly relevant.

He'll probably end up an icon of resistance for some, like William Morales, Assata Shakur, and Elizabeth Ann Duke became.

Or he'll go down as a terrorist because he's not a radical leftist terrorist like they were. Shit, Shakur and Morales had university buildings named in their honor at CUNY.

Watching Simpsons this morning with subtitles on and Abe Simpson says "Well call me Mint Jelly because I'm on the lam" which I thought was both a nice pun and coincidental with me learning the epxression a couple of days ago :P

Its amazing how you try and obfuscate what you mean to look reasonable while crying in far right language.

Nah, folks on the extremes will get lionized by the extremes.

But do you think Rittenhouse will get a university building named after him?

Isn't there another thread that is waiting for a stupid "both sides!!!!!!" argument? I find it somewhat useless here.

Why would a murderer get a building a named after him?

[Stelio Kontos]

Why would a murderer get a building a named after him?

Asatta Shakur did.

[Orange Joe]

Asatta Shakur did.

Which college is named after her?

You mean this?

On December 12, 2006, the Chancellor of the City University of New York, Matthew Goldstein, directed City College's president, Gregory H. Williams, to remove the "unauthorized and inappropriate" designation of the "Guillermo Morales/Assata Shakur Community and Student Center," which was named by students in 1989.

Trump University doesn’t exist anymore but maybe Liberty University will do it.....

You also see this a lot in countries like poland where they hold anti farleft and nazi rallies, turns out they are always just that countries brand of fascists.

How about you all continue to send hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for Kyle’s bond, while he goes to bars flipping the white power symbol and now can’t be found by cops. You think he gives a shit and will return, so the money can return? You think he is laughing about it, where every KKK is hiding him?

This is an oddly hostile reaction, unless this event was personal to you. Strange to insert the KKK out of nowhere as well.

Also, please tell me you are not referring to the “ok” hand gesture.

Kyle's a white supremacist terrorist who murdered two people.

The KKK are white supremacist terrorists who have murdered people.

It's really not "out of nowhere".

Also, please tell me you are not referring to the “ok” hand gesture.

You mean the actual, real hate gesture?

1> It started as a hoax, but it stopped being a hoax when white supremacists started using it for real.
2> That there's an innocent use for the gesture is not a counter-argument, as the entire point of such gestures is to act as a dog-whistle, and dog-whistles are meant to conceal the intent; they are coded messaging that only show their true meaning for those "in the know". Repurposing a traditional symbol is standard practice. See also the KKK and a burning cross. See also the Nazis and the swastika/hakenkreuz. See also the "Roman salute" the Nazis adopted and the Bellamy salute in the USA. I could go on.

Call it whatever you want, and be surprised as much as you want, but the OK symbol HAS been appropriated. Just like the Nazi symbol, the swastika, was appropriated from Buddhism. Not to the same level, obviously, but same concept.
