    Rittenhouse didn’t premediate his shooting though? Where do you guys get your information about this?

      You don’t straw buy an AR then pick it up and cross state lines with it going to a known chaotic protest without premeditated “self defence”.

          I remember when I was a freshman in high school, I worked at a McDonald’s. For whatever reason, I owned a Burger King t shirt. As a 14 year old, I thought it would be funny to wear the Burger King shirt to work. I figured it would annoy my boss and might get a few reactions out of other people. It didn’t work, but there were no real consequences because of it.

          You really can’t see how Rittenhouse did a similar thing? He went to a protest knowing he was diametrically opposite, politically, to people actually protesting and he did it with a big ass gun. Like my Burger King t shirt, this was very clearly sending a message of “I am your enemy.” And the message wasn’t on a harmless shirt, it was on a deadly big ass gun.

          You really truly believe he had no intention of killing? Are you dumb?

              Rittenhouse was not a cop, he was a douchebag little shit stirrer with a murder fantasy, and he got exactly what he wanted — a fun murder spree killing liberals with no consequences.

              I’m not going to coordinate an effort to lynch the piece of shit, but spreading bullshit about how “he’s not a murderer,” like what you’re doing, is disingenuous at best. Kindly, shut the fuck up

                  It was not murder, since murder means killing illegally

                  You could have picked from so many different reasons to why this was not murder, but this one takes the cake.

                  I have another one!

                  Murder is a crime, and Criminals are in Jail.

                  Since he is not, it could not have been murder! CHECKMATE LIBERALS /s

          Everything they had? He’s still alive. That’s more than most shooters get.

              No? But usually shooters get shot, especially if they shoot blindly into unarmed folks. How isn’t anyone able to read any more? Did I write trial?

        Yeah and you don’t get acquitted of that either. Also one of the surviving “victims” doesn’t blow the prosecution’s case by being honest in your scenario. That look of defeat photo is priceless.

          It’s not “my scenario”, it was what fucking happened. Also do you people ever get tired of making sock puppets when you’re stupidity gets banned?

            Why are you so dependant on the court acknowledged and recorded reality of what happened being false? Your rhetoric doesn;t work with facts, so you ignore those instead of constructing an argument that works within reality, for some reason. People like you cry about rittenhouse and that pearl guy, and then go celebrate Luigi.

              Why are you so dependant on bootlicking and insisting a deranged little racist was justified in murdering people, and vilifying a person who the courts, you seem to rely on to tell you what to believe, hadn’t even tried yet. And you so haven’t answered my sock puppet question. Do you make new accounts when you’re idiocy and hate gets banned, or do you make them because you’re afraid people will check your history and realise your a sycophant for authoritarianism.

                Ok we’re done here, you can’t not lie about the actual events and I won’t longer entertain political discussion with those that can’t at least do that. BTW, it’s really funny you calling me the authoritarian, considering your (see, not “you’re”, buddy) evident ideology. Do you seriously not know the Rittenhouse trial is long, long over? JFC.

                  I still don’t know what “actual” events you are taking about. You’re (not your) the one ignoring what happened so you can sit at home edging yourself over a murderous little shit knowing you’ll never have the balls to do it yourself so you live vicariously through other racist fucks. I would feel sorry for hateful morons like yourself, but unfortunately you have chosen to fuck up the world for the rest of us.

      He deliberately brandished a weapon to incite bystanders to try to defend themselves so he could kill them and call it self defense.

        “Brandishing” a weapon isn’t a crime in Wisconsin. Even if it were, it wouldn’t justify vigilantes attempting to kill him.

          A hunter in the woods lays a trap. A coyote walks by and gets its foot caught in the trap. The hunter approaches and the coyote bites the hunter.

          You feel the coyote was unjustified?

            What exactly are you arguing for? That the coyote should avoid traps? That the hunter shouldn’t be laying traps if they don’t want to get bitten? What is it?

              Fighting back against a perceived threat does not automatically grant the threat justification in their violent actions, nor does it remove legitimacy from the coyote for defending itself from a perceived threat.

              Rittenhouse entered the woods, laid a trap, approached the trapped animal, was bitten, and shot the trapped animal. Then he said “It was self defense! They were hunting me!”

              It’s ludicrous that this was upheld in court.

        Did you even watch the video? He was running away each time he ended up shooting someone. First time he tried to run but got trapped between some cars and was getting rushed by a mob.

        Second time he was running at a good clip and he was hit a few times, but didn’t do anything until someone hit him in the head with a skateboard and he fell over. When that person came in to hit him a second time while on the ground, he shot them.

        The third was while Rittenhouse was still on the ground. The other person pulled a gun on him but when Rittenhouse pointed his gun first, the third person held his gun up and backed away. When Rittenhouse tried to stand up the other guy aimed his gun at Rittenhouse, and Rittenhouse shot him.

        All three times people rushed him while he was in a vulnerable position, the second person assaulted him with a deadly weapon, and the third drew a gun on him.

        Rittenhouse is a dumb rightoid who put himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. That doesn’t mean that he is not allowed to defend himself from obvious threats to his life. As for anyone intending to protest without getting blasted, a quick tip: don’t fucking attack people who are running away because it makes it look like you’re trying to kill them.

      I don’t think other commenters bothered to watch the trial.

      He was acting foolish but he certainly didn’t commit pre-meditated murder.
