The bottom line is KR ‘got away’ with defending himself from four pieces of crap. Democrats and Liberals need to get off this far Left thing if they want to be taken seriously moving forward. The more we play reindeer games with basic stuff like the right to self-defense the more rational people will move away from us.
Holy “F”, Cam. So you're saying we should just ignore what he did because the people he took out were unsavory characters? You would view all of this differently if they were saints?
The problem some of us have with this situation is that the claim of self-defense to use deadly force is dubious.
And I'm not a damned Democrat. Quite frankly, I have no faith in either party to enact laws that will keep its citizens safe. The problem isn't the parties as much as the idiotic American attitude toward guns.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.
MY POINT: If you say that Kyle Rittenhouse's carrying of a firearm makes it his fault that he got attacked, then YOU ALSO SAY that a woman's wearing a miniskirt makes it her fault that a rapist tries to rape her. NEITHER SCENARIO IS TRUE, but you are operating on a double-standard if you believe one notion but not the other.
Nonsense.
I was about to explain why but I see Morley already did a fine job.

But, in retrospect, it was not necessarily his best decision, . . .
What was his best decision?
. . . and it certainly wasn’t the only decision.
The only other decisions I see are allowing himself to be beaten within an inch of his life, at best, or killed. Which would you have chosen?
I’m not sure why folks want to hail Rittenhouse as some kind of hero. He chose to insert himself into the midst of jackassery, and then commit his own handful of acts of supreme dumbfuckery.
So defending businesses, defusing situations, and putting out fires = "dumbf---ery?"

He didn't do any of that. He certainly didn't defuse the situation.

I'm talking during the exact split second that miscreant #1 tried to grab his weapon, followed by the split second after miscreant #2 bashed him in the head with a skateboard, then lastly the split second that miscreant #3 tried to shoot him.
Of course. I’m only allowed to speak to the exact split second that someone would have tried to grab his weapon that he was sort of holding after he decided to separate from friends, shoot someone else, then jog down the street, then as he couldn’t stay upright and found himself was on the ground. No one is allowed to speak to any other point in the timeline.
Same answer. Sit on arse, place AR on ground. Hands up. All in full view of the police line a hundred yards down the street.
So the fact that she was wearing a miniskirt makes it her fault the guy tried to rape her, which in turn makes it her fault she shot him in self-defense?
Is there a woman running down the street after having just shot someone, carrying an AR in the ready position, and wearing a miniskirt, in this scenario?
Are you really going to say that the famous Roof Koreans had no right to defend their properties during the LA Riots? They should have laid their arms down and just graciously let the rioters and looters destroy their livelihoods?
Or let's flip the scenario. Let's say a white supremacist rally in a predominantly Black neighborhood develops into a riot. They start burning down Black businesses. You don't think that Black business owners have a right to bear arms to defend their property from financial ruin? C'mon, this can't be a serious take.
