Rittenhouse Verdict

[LDAHL]

To say they shouldn't be there is ridiculous. People have a right to protest. But going around a protest as a civilian openly brandishing a gun, who does that. Of course it's intimidating, but the kid wasn't the brightest bulb. But it's like I showed up at a protest with a backpack that looked like it had a bomb.

There was a curfew in force, which in light of the massive property damage the locals suffered seems to have been well justified. Nobody was supposed to be there. It was a time for idiots to do idiotic things.

And the idiot child with the gun did the most idiotic thing of all. Two people will never go home again because of it. He’s the poster child for why we need to have harsh penalties for straw man gun sales. If we did maybe the idiot that provided him the gun would have thought twice. Of course it’s also possible that if we did he would now be a whiny bitch begging for defense money in a go fund me.

It would be like okay, this just escalated from protest to potential terrorism incident.

you don’t get it. Cops asked people to stay away. ALL people, black, white, vigilante, and innocent flowers spreading truth and justice.ALL.

peaceful protesting on public land is fine. This wasn’t that.

Unless the president wants to cross the street to do a sacrilegious photo op with an upside down bible. Then the military gets called out to tear gas you out of the way.

What is a sacrilegious photo op?

Whether chasing and attacking an idiot child with a gun is a superior brand of idiocy is, I suppose, a fairly subjective determination. The jury in this case seems to have been fairly clear as to who was attacking who.

In my view, if someone chooses to jump off a cliff, you don’t blame the cliff.

The bible was upside down? Seriously? This little tidbit I was unaware of. Ay carumba, a large number of people still voted for DJT regardless. What this says about US society is depressing to contemplate. Rob

What is a sacrilegious photo op?

One where a non-religious, thrice married, grab 'em by the p**** kind of guy holds up a bible in front of a church and pretends to be religious. Of course maybe the bible being upside down has similar meaning to when the flag is upside down.

At the end of the day if the idiot child hadn't been there no one would've gone to the morgue that night.

The jury appears to have made the correct decision from a legal perspective. But as yossarian pointed out, maybe our laws are flawed.

And it is equally true that if his attackers hadn’t been there, or hadn’t pursued and attacked him, then no one would have gone to the morgue that night.

I don’t see it as a flaw in our laws that being in the wrong place at the wrong time isn’t a capital crime.
