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".
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.
try wikipedia, moron
Carrying a gun is "premeditated self defence"? Are people only supposed to carry guns where it is safe? What is the purpose of that?
So many people pushing this ridiculous idea he is guilty for not staying at home, quaking in his boots. Right to self defense and to bear arms literally exist so that people don't have to fear walking outside because of asshat violent criminals and rioters.
And even more ridiculous saying the police and prosecutors didn't care. What do you mean? They went after him with everything they had. It was a jury of his peers that told them to f off with that shit.
But I guess lemmy only likes juries if they nullify actual murderers they like, not when they let go an innocent person they don't like. (I don't like Rittenhouse either, but that does not make him a murderer.)
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
Violent bloodthirsty evil thug, then. Is that better for you, Herr Pedant?
Orchestrating a scenario in which the only possible outcome is self-defense by deadly force sounds an awful lot like premeditated murder, to me. I think you should reevaluate what you consider pedantry.
People attacked him because he had a big gigantic deadly gun and was goading a literal angry mob with the gun.
It’s now more clear to me than ever that you are intentionally acting in bad faith. What is wrong with you?
It absolutely is considered goading. If lifting your shirt to reveal a gun holstered can be considered a threat (one that police can legally shoot you over) then carrying a rifle at a protest and starting shit with the protestors is also a threat.
He didn’t go there to make his voice heard — he went there to intimidate and kill.

If every version of you present on a jury could be replaced with someone like me, the justice system would probably function better than it does now.

Get fucked, bootlicker.
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
Nothing!
Please keep talking about what murder is! I really need to know.
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?
