    There's a huge fucking difference between "if you attack someone with a gun, you might get shot" and "they deserved to die."

    Reality isn't Twitter. Overlook that at your peril.
    Yes, the reality is complicated and messy and nothing about this situation is clear cut. Overlook that at your peril.

    Yes, how fucking dare they try to take a gun away from a kid who just shot and killed somebody. The fucking gall of them to try and disarm an active shooter armed with nothing but a goddamned skateboard. Truly, such despicable actions were deserving of death.

    You mean the video of Rittenhouse murdering two people and maiming a third? Yes, we're aware.

    You mean the guy using it as a shield while trying to subdue Rittenhouse? And the "fake Medic" that never touched Rittenhouse. Therefor never assaulted him?


    Do you know what assaulted means or no? Going by your statements I'm leaning towards no.

    If you applied this standard fairly, you've established Rittenhouse was the armed aggressor and should have, himself, expected deadly force to be leveled at him, which should have led to his conviction.

    So not only is this standard you've invented out of nothing complete horseshit, you're also hypocritically picking and choosing who it applies to, on ideological grounds.

    I think it is more telling why something like that would appeal to people...why are people flocking to Militias and extremists groups to protect them from the fiery but mostly peaceful protestors?

    The kid gloves need to come off and police have to start using a show of force when these protests devolve into rioting.

    Wow, what a hilariously bad false equivalence.

    So why the confusion over the assaults with deadly weapon?

    So you're just straight-up defending the KKK now. Like, holy fucking balls, you're not even trying to hide it. Between that and "they deserved to die" I think I understand everything I need to about you, now.

    Ah yes shields often employed toward the back of a person's skull... I suppose technically that could be seen as a defensive move...

    This is on video why try to spin it into something?

    Protests largely devolve into rioting when spurred to do so by police aggression to peaceful protesting. Also, wrong case guy.

    The only assaults with a deadly weapon were committed by Rittenhouse. There's no confusion on this end.

    You really think Kyle would be standing if he actually hit him in the head with the skateboard?

    I don't think your reading what I write but rather trying to read into what I've written.

    Rittenhouse himself admitted, on the stand, that he turned and threatened Rosenbaum with his weapon before Rosenbaum ever made any attempt to assault him. Like, this isn't contested; Rittenhouse freely and openly stated this on the stand.

    That lethal threat by Rittenhouse was itself an assault, and by your argument, meant Rosenbaum could've killed Rittenhouse and been in the legal right, at that point.

    Now, I don't agree, but that's your argument.

    So I just watched it again to make sure. He never swung the skateboard in any way. He pressed it against Kyle while trying to take the rifle from him.
