The fact that even at the deliberating process the judge did not baffles me

Heck MSNBC has been banned from the courtroom for getting caught following the jurors bus

I prefer to call it the lugenpresse. I think you would too.

as usual, if "the left" was nearly as cool as clowns like inso think then there might be good parts about our society. but in fact they believe the same things as he does except they want to include minorities in the pilfering as tokens.

Ever since that 5 foot tall running back of color taught him about life on the grid iron, he's been in the grasp of pure unadulterated fear.

rebirth, just don't rend yourself from the womb.

Jesus! Racist much? Black people don't have a monopoly on athleticism.

Matthew was a white kid with a sports dad. Good at everything he did and was also a top wrestler. Just a little scrappy dude.

No, they don't. But something scared the hell out of you.

Did you want me to post 100's of them? I could. Those photos were before Walmart made open carry against its policy late in 2019 - they literally will not forbid conceal carry because it would hurt their business in those states. The signs now read, "No open carry of firearms permitted" whereas other places that do not allow firearms at all read, "No firearms allowed."

Like I said, I see open carry every ~3 hours of shopping in a supermarket during off-peak hours; I was not asserting that this is commonplace all over the US nor do I think seeing one person every 3 hours is all that often, but it's alarming for people that aren't used to it.

Also, you can't compare what you didn't see in your youth (30 years ago?) in TN, AL, etc., with what's going on in the last 5 years in MAGAville.

Ok, lol. Let's back up a bit.

- A Euro asked if this happens in the US
- You said no
- I said there are areas in the US where it happens
- You said no there isn't
- I said I see it
- You said nope!
- I specify the heaviest areas are in the top gun nut states and especially in Republican areas (which are the majority of areas in those states)

Now you're essentially saying, "So what? That's small compared to the entire US."

Well, no shiit. It's also rare to find people wearing shorts, short sleeves, and flipflops outside in November in the US, but there are areas where many people do. You being in Ohio probably don't see it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

The guy was a freelance reporter for msnbc. If he obeyed traffic laws he might have gotten away with it but running a red light got him caught. He should have just said he was trying to beat the light and not say he was following the bus. He would be a bad poker player.

Lol if he got pulled over for running a light and started singing like a canary on himself. "If you think that's bad, wait till you find out why I ran the light, officer!"

If that's what really happened, he would be a bad just about anything. Sounds like a total dumbass.

Would anyone be shocked if he wins and is freed, that on that evening, he does attend any protest, presents again as vigilante type security, surrounded by a phalanx of Proud Boys heavily armed?

i could see some factions on the right organizing that and even paying him to attend for the value it would provide in sticking a middle finger up to the left and the system.

Who hear thinks 'no way that would happen' and would be shocked if it did?

I don't think it will happen, but if it does it won't shock me at all.

I am pretty sure that would qualify as shocking behavior. Give him a few weeks, at least!

WHERE IS OUR VERDICT?!

As I said, I guess anything is possible if you live in the most gun crazy areas of the most gun crazy states.

My point was that, based on my experiences as both a child and an adult, it would be quite rare to see a gun in a grocery store, even in a deep red state.

If you are telling me that you see guns more often because you live in some sort of gun crazy pocket of a deep red state, I'm certainly am in no position to argue with you. By no means have I traveled to every rural backwater in the United States.

But I'm quite confident that if you go into a grocery store in a typical mid-sized town in MAGA country -- say, Lagrange, Georgia, or Phenix City, Alabama, or Midlothian, Texas -- you are not at all likely to see a gun.

Maybe Land O Lakes lives in Rogers, Arkansas.

And yes, our protagonist looks exactly like you imagined.

My brother and I used to have BB gun fights, wearing two pair of jeans, heavy shirts and safety goggles. But even doing that was relentlessly stupid.

It's just being reported that the prosecution knew who Jump Kick man was and failed to divulge that information to the defense. Jump kick man offered to testify for the prosecution in exchange for some non-related dropped charges and the prosecution declined.

That's got to be a mistrial if true. WTF???

My dad taught my brother and I and some friends how to make home made bows and arrows and sling shots from scavenged wood and materials.

He made us promise only to shoot cans or target shoot with them and not kill any squirrels or small animals with them telling us they were dangerous.

You can imagine it started that way, with only cans and other such items but then a squirrel would enter the field of play and it was on. Then of course one person thought it funny to shoot towards another and again it was on. Volleys back and forth at each other. blunted arrows with no tips, that don't fly straight still hurt but the real danger was the small rocks in the sling shots. Those could go through a tin can. Luckily one friend got hurt with a grazing shot across the thigh causing lots of blood that made us stop as it could have been an eye or maybe even a fatal wound with the right hit.

Boys!

Ya I would not bet on it happening.

But for those on the extreme right vested in fueling the culture war stuff and sticking a finger in the eye of the left, that would be one of the boldest and most effective moves they could make.

You can just imagine the outrage in all left media and screams of 'see I told you so. He learned nothing and is right back to his provocations immediately upon release'.

I think some on the left might actually melt.

And there it is

The system works! Rittenhouse for prez!!!

We should have had a poll Guilty or Not Guilty

Early on it would have been 80/20 guilty. But by last week would have flipped.
