I for one do not believe he shot them people out of self defence and never meant to kill them. I think he intended to kill them and thought he would get away with it. The Judge as well is a joke. What a very strange trial. Only in America.
The state of MSM and how they can't even get basic facts right!
Calls for more gravy seals to show up armed and dangerous are going to lead to bad times. Everyone, protestors and counter-protestors, would be better off staying at home.
I think the jury is no longer out on that one at least 😆 There are a lot of unwell people on social media, often the loudest voices and most prolific tweeters. It really is a cesspit of psychological disease and dysfunction that no sane person would want to engage with .... if they want to stay that way
Maybe let me know when you're going to make a substantive point rather than wishy-washy statements and projections.
I did find this Tweet's sort of good!!
None of the main ones, as far as i can tell
So what facts am I missing?
The only things you're missing is a misplaced sense of your own moral superiority, and an adherence to agenda rather that facts.
There is video evidence proving he is innocent, there are prosecution witnesses proving he is innocent, yet that's not good enough for some people.
You have to wonder are these people unwell. They have no interest in reality or fairness or rule of law. They simply hate people who aren't far left, and no matter what evidence is presented to them, the non-leftist male is a nazi and needs to be punished.
Only fools of questionable sexuality drink soy or smoke weed! Amiright?
Also worth bearing in mind that Kenosha isn't a particularly "BLM-y, Antifa-y" area. The full cohort of those types in Kenosha was standing on the steps of the courthouse yesterday, looking like they smell funny. Other than that they tend to be middle class, white malcontents from big cities.
After Jacob Blake was shot trying to steal the car of the woman he'd previously sexually assaulted on August 23rd last year, it wasn't until August 24th that things really kicked off in Kenosha because it took the mob that long to travel there from various large cities. There is chatter on Twitter that the left-wing terror platoon is currently making its way there, but it remains to be seen if that will actually happen. Riots at this time would hurt rather than help the democrats, so the democrat governor who refused an offer of help from the White House last year has a significant number of National Guard on standby this week. Let's hope so.
Btw the main reason there were no riots last night was the soy boy Antifa/BLM boys don't like to riot in the cold weather they probably preferred to stay home and smoke weed.
The hatred is strong with this one.
Let it all out.
I'm glad I mostly stayed away from this case. It's genuinely depressing how polarised/politicised modern discourse is. Nobody cares about the truth anymore. You just pick your ideological team, confirm all your own biases and to hell with objectivity.
You know once you see what actually happened (in video footage of the events) and actually make up your own mind it's hard not to agree with the jury. This analysis is top drawer IMO and I'm finding to hard to find fault with it (no doubt some will attack the messenger(s) and not the actual analysis)

All I see is a stupid kid in a stupid situation he should never have gotten himself into (not a crime last time I checked and not what he was on trial for) who finds himself in a quickly escalating and chaotic sh1tshow who is then forced into making split second life or death decisions. There seems to be a lot of expert "hurlers in the ditch" trying to argue they would have absolutely done something very different if they found themselves in the same situation.
Genuinely, what am I missing?
I was fairly impressed that Rittenhouse took the stand, he is still a very young man, not particularly educated and I doubt is used to intense critical argument. The prosecutor badgered him in cross examination, pedantically repeating questions when he didn't like the answers, his line of questioning was often tangential to the substance of the case, desperately trying to get him to say he intended to kill the assailants who attacked him. Suggesting ad naseum, that the first assailant for example had put his hands up and slowed down his approach and that Rittenhouse basically didn't run away fast enough and intended to kill him. It would have been funny if rittenhouse's life wasn't on the line. But his life was on the line and he held his composure. I found it uncomfortable because it made me wonder, imagine this kid was a little bit less intelligent or had a little less emotional control and he did slip up and said "of course I wanted to kill him, I was panicking and he was chasing me", is that it then, does that make one guilty based on ones ability or intelligence or composure? And how is that relevant compared to the evidence of the actions that took place? How is it relevant what he thought or felt? It was very frustrating, fair play to him for putting himself through that, the pressure must have been insane.
You need to try harder, no one is going to fall for this.
No he is not his demented tweet last night about the verdict looked like he was trying to cause unrest and question the validity of the outcome of the court case that man is a dangerous fool, the sooner he is replaced the better!
And countered once again with nothing but the continued ignorance of the facts....
I’ve just watched the video … he acted with great restraint … choosing to run from a mob who were trying to hit him and take the gun off him … he then only shot people who were actively assaulting him …knocked to ground by a pack of bully cowards in a group … if he hadn’t done so, he would most certainly been killed … delighted to see some justice … IMO he should’ve been offered a medal for the work he did that nite … I can only imagine what it must feel like for taxpayers and family watching all these thugs and looters going around destroying and attacking people amd property at random under the false pretense of a “cause “ . See numerous videos of these same thugs running into shops and clearing them of TVs and high end items … society over there is crumbling and social media is enabling it with their fake reporting … America needs more kyles to take a stand to these robbing murdering scum
It's scandalous because the prosecution called him as their witness despite clear video evidence showing what actually happened.
Ah yes, a retreat back into the safety of the theoretical 😂
At this point, you just have to applaud the dedication to the bit.
The "insurrection" is a completely different scenario to the Kyle Rittenhouse scenario. I don't even think I saw anyone ever defending the people involved.
The "insurrection" was widely condemned by almost every news network, some calling it the biggest attack on America since sept 11. The very same news networks that were labelling Rittenhouse a white supremacist and defending BLM and their rioters all throughout the summer of love.
The fact is, the evidence in the Rittenhouse case was overwhelming and you still have idiots here claiming the white supremacist angle, the crossing county lines armed angle, the chasing after rosenbaum angle, the no right to be there angle, the "he shot black men" angle despite it being demonstrably false.
Perhaps if I frame it a different way, it might hit home. Kyle Rittenhouse's actions that day were "mostly peaceful" (helping people medically, removing graffiti, putting out fire etc)
His actions that weren't peaceful, have been proven in court, were not his fault and was self defence against some terrible, terrible people.
I'm not sure why anyone would wish a guilty verdict on the kid, take the politics aside for a moment, a star witness the only dude that was actually there and got shot was caught in lies, and effectively explained how Kyle acted in self defense. There is no recovering from that.
What did you expect? That everyone will ignore witness testimony and evidence, convict the kid because he's a white male, or plays video games? If anyone is looking for someone to blame, blame the prosecutors. They made a right mockery of the whole trial.
Absolutely disgraceful verdict this. So he can walk down the street any street anytime he wants now with his rifle shoot someone when there is riots on and get away with it all because of his name. A disgrace. America and there courts should be ashamed. I do not know how him or any of them involved in this verdict can live with themselves. Also who gives a 17 year old a gun? Only in America in the civilised world. America your a disgrace. They have a lot to answer for.
The ex girlfriend of one of his assailants slipped Kyle her number at the end of the trial.
Love finds a way.
As we saw on Jan 6th, for some, Biden in the WH, is enough to start an insurrection for Fox and Conservatives isn't it
The only reason it isn't being considered a riot, is because police/soldiers weren't authorized to try to stop the insurrectionists.
What do you think the response would have been if it was BLM protestors who shut down the Senate's business?
As major US cities go Portland Oregon is on the small side.
The person you were responding to said that Portland was the largest and most populous city in the state of Oregon, which is true. The size of it by US standards more broadly probably matters as much to the residents of Portland as it would matter to me if a marauding mob of shitheads were running through my town destroying businesses, setting fires and attacking people. Which is to say not at all.
What are those quotes around riot for? Are you asserting that the riot wasn't a riot?
Liberal:
Favoring reform, open to new ideas, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; not bound by traditional thinking; broad-minded. synonym: broad-minded.
Today's Liberal:
Don't be surprised if they choose to riot if they disagree with anything or anyone and don't get their own way.
