Probably time for a Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

You would believe that he 'crossed state lines' and that is somehow legally important, and you will believe that the rioters were protesters, mostly peaceful, and you will hear over and over that when you bring a gun somewhere, you give up the right to self-defense.

I'm not talking about a racist nutbag like Joy Reid on fringe MSNBC, who talks about 'white vigilantism' and 'white male tears' and stokes up racial hatred. I'm talking about mainstream outlets that regular Americans get their information from. Then people wonder where riots and the anger comes from. The citizens of this country are just outrage clickbait fodder. The only thing that matters is ad revenue, and the only way to get that is get people angry.

I know it's true because I've been to editorial meetings no longer run by editorial, but by revenue. Like the entire meeting was run by a guy who never stopped talking about 'content velocity' and 'impressions' and 'viewability'. And the editorial staff was carefully instructed on how to craft their little words to achieve these goals. Building a long-time loyal audience through accuracy and thoroughness is out; people have so many news choices now that only outrage works, because you need to out-outrage the other outragers in an outrage spiral.

Truth is now narrative. Narrative can be shaped and monetized. Truth...not so much.

well said

if you watch mainstream media and think you're being shown truth....you're an idiot

watch the video and read the comments....anyone with half a brain knows this should be open-and-shut self defense

Yup all this. I'm also so tired of hearing "crossed state lines" from all the mainstream media brainwashed parrots like it holds any meaning.

Truth died on the cross 1,987 years ago.

More accurate and fairer than 'pointing' or 'aiming'.

Plenty but even one is too many for self-defense to apply.

I think if you did that in bootcamp, drill sergeant would let the whole squad hit.

You're swaing me, now go vote inmy fun poll or be a darthirr rivvil

i don't rly like ur edit either, i'll live with it tho

this kid needs serious help

did he murder anyone? did he go out there looking to murder anyone?

[Ooloo]

"Provoked" is itself a stupid term. Kyle wasn't provoking anybody, but even if he was, it falls upon the provoked to not resort to violence.

Even if kyle was going "boogey boogey look at me! I have a gun! I am a threat! Please chase me and kill me!" you can't just chase him and kill him if he hasn't fired his weapon at anyone.

sounds like guns and muzzle sweeps are a case of 1st amandment infrigmement rights

/s but in all seriousness 1st admentment is restricted when its' percieved to cause public harm

next time I hope the national guard goes out there in a timely reliable fashion, rather than kyle or his quantum mirrors

probably wont happen tho until we re-educate everyone

(the primary reason i double space i think is because i have a hard time reading/processing/computing symbolic information so don't pay me any mind)
