Well, there's always prosecutorial and sentencing discretion along with jury nullification, so I wouldn't say it's inevitable that he'd get charged and convicted or even go to jail but the elements sure seem to be present. For instance, suppose Huber ko'd Rittenhouse with his skateboard and the entire fiasco ended with that. If the prosecution and then the jury found that Rittenhouse was justified shooting Rosenbaum, Huber would've probably been convicted of assault.

Doubling down on stupid.

Okay, enough is enough. I'll stop.

Which part confused you?

Fact 1 - Rittenhouse was 100% legally allowed to carry the gun he was carrying.


Fact 2 - Rittenhouse didn't discharge his weapon until he was physically attacked.



Facts don't care about your feelings, leftist morons.

Damn, nobody thought to mention this in the last 1800+ posts. Thank god you showed up!

If you're as good at reading hands as you are at reading threads, I can see why you need to nut peddle.

Could you describe how Rosenbaum “physically” attacked Kylie? Did he body slam him? Shove him hard? Punch him?

Define leftist.

I'm not confused. Thanks though.

You know you're a leftist when you get mad someone defends themselves with a firearm.

You know you're a leftist when you HATE the fact you can carry a firearm to defend yourself.

You know you're a leftist when the first thing you do is try to prosecute the person defending themselves.

There's a lot more to it, that's beyond the scope of this thread.

Can you do the same for "ignorant dickhead" please?

You want to talk about the M4 now?

Feel free to fill me in.

I think ideally she might have been spared. However, she was killed in the defense of the sovereignty of the American people. It's only in retrospect that we can get a sense of what kind of threat that mob represented, although even now it's not entirely clear. When you decide to seize a capital building in order to block the consensus-legitimate transfer of power you are exposing yourself and others to a lot of danger, uncertainty, and fear. Extreme actions should expect extreme reactions.

From that perspective Rittenhouse was level jumping, like when you make fun of your buddy for farting too much and, embarrassed, he goes straight to bringing up that time you were caught jerking off in a museum. Someone tried to intimidate KR (probably in response to KR's implied intimidation of the gun), maybe get into a fist fight with him. Rittenhouse level jumped to no, I'm going to end you as a phenomenon for all time. While Babbitt raised the stakes extremely high in what looked like a coup attempt, Rosenbaum just took things up one notch.

And what was that physical attack? Is chasing someone a physical attack. I didn't know you conservatives were that sensitive. Then again, between Rittenhouse and the clowns who are now answering for Charlottesville I've seen enough male crying for awhile.

Wow, the troll was pretty successful.

Not that I'm judging - I'm guilty of having provided them a small snack in another thread earlier today.

It's more entertaining to listen to you shoot from the hip.

I'd say anyone who charges a person with an AR15 is raising it to Babbitt-level stakes. She should have known that three cops with their weapons drawn beyond doors that are barricaded, that nothing good would come about it. From a psychological standpoint, I'm curious what she had intended to do when she hopped through the window... charge the cop? Talk mean?

Rosenbaum, I'd say that was his 3rd suicide attempt.

So leftists don't use guns ?

I've tried to guess at what those people were thinking but I haven't come up with much. On the one hand they were fighting cops and repelling up the side of the building. On the other hand they were minding the walkway ropes as if they were taking a guided tour. Something Trump doesn't get enough strategic credit for is building a coalition which is more ideologically diverse than the other side realizes, and so she could have been nutty any number of ways. I think she was feeding off the energy of the crowd. She submitted to what she felt the hive mind was willing in the moment, which at that point was simply to go further up and further in.

If she thought she was protected by her demographic caste you could hardly blame her. The cops are supposed to protect her and harshly enforce the rules on POC, even during an insurrection. She might have been so invested in the cultural war that she was totally incognizant of the class war.

You are absolutely right on the first paragraph I see what you are saying. you are right but I saw also that supposedly GG chased him with a skateboard and almost hit him while kr was running, also that one witness on the stand said that earlier kr wasnt really engaging him has much as I thought(the one people in internet were dooming and glooming over). unless something else happened earlier where kr was a big instigator or something happened that I dot know about or missed in the trial.

very interesting. i understand, i guess the guy chasing the active shooter has way bigger balls than I ever would in that situation. I posted my above thoughts to the situation I thought to my initial post a few days ago

Hey Bryce!

I do post here. Sometimes. I've tried to give up arguments about what left-right are. They just mean different things to different people. My preferred usage is based on the origin that the people who wanted to distribute power more broadly were on the left side of the King at the National Constitutive Assembly in Revolutionary France 1789 and people who wanted more concentrated power were on the right and fundamentally that's what they mean: relatively more or less egalitarian distribution of power.

But, a lot of people mean different things and I find some people who consider themselves not-leftists do embrace a lot of ideas which would distribute power more broadly and some people who consider themselves leftists embrace concentrations of power.

Shrug.

A lot of people who call themselves leftists own guns and believe in defending themselves and other people (but not property!).

I don't know if it was allowed to be talked about in the trial but that day before sundown KR was confronted by a small group of people who said that he pointed his gun at their car earlier in the day (maybe the day before, I don't remember the details) and they were not too happy about it. Whether it's true or not doesn't matter because word would have gotten out within the protestors that the young kid with the AR was pointing his gun at people and kind of made him a marked man.

I don't think homie is trolling. He is just a certifiable moron.

Might have been smarter but it was his house. I assume 49 states he would not get charged. It helps he is in Texas were I think you can shoot someone in the back for stealing your tv as long at it is night. (I think)

If he did not come out with a gun then both would be alive. He also did not commit a crime while doing it. The rest is a personal ethics question
