Here’s what people don’t get. You can admit that the justice system isn’t fair and respect that it would be different for a black defendant and still not want A 17 year old boy who shot an ex con serial child rapist to serve life in prison because of that disparity. -Life long Dem who thinks Ahmaud Arbery’s killers should be found guilty but doesn’t like child rapists |
For those of us who pay attention to reality, we know that the National Guard is already there. Maybe the curfew will be enforced, if one is set. |
If you run at a person who has a gun, they are allowed to shoot you dead because they feel their life is at endangered.
America 2021. |
I wasn't really following the story, but why was this kid there toting what looks to be a semiautomatic? |
Only thing you’ve grasped: “Kyle’s gun is so big!” Turn off CNN. |
Why were the rioters there? Why were the people who got shot there? It's immaterial to the case. |
I checked out after the kid ugly cried on the stand. Does anyone believe the vetted jurors had no knowledge that Rosenbaum spent roughly 15 years in prison for sexually abusing five pre-teen boys in 2002, was indicted on 11 counts of child molestation, and eventually pleaded guilty to two amended counts of sexual conduct with a minor? Obviously wasn't admitted in court docs, but they had to know. Not sobbing for the victims at all. Not overjoyed for Rittenhouse either. Clearly a premeditated "looking for trouble" kid. |
Disgusting. Why did he spent only a decade in prison? |
So he deserved to die? Is that what you're saying? |
All I'm getting out of this is that the Left hates the Right and the Right hates the Left. I'm convinced that very few people give a shit about the particulars and would come to the exact same conclusion about the cases if Rittenhouse was a BLM supporter and the people he shot were Trump enthusiasts who didn't like BLM. This is just another proxy fight in the war of Left versus Right.
I was personally hoping for a conviction, but some of the left-leaning folks I follow on Facebook are just so sad and outraged about this and, more importantly, they want to make sure everyone knows how sad and outraged they are. Meanwhile, 1,200 Americans died of COVID yesterday. It's hard for me to get too tearful about two deaths in Kenosha last year. It's hard for me to shake the sense that those two deaths are important primarily because they provide an opportunity to hate on political opponents. |
If Rittenhouse wins money from a defamation lawsuit, it will give him some money to hand over to the families of the guys he killed after the wrongful death lawsuit. |
Accurate reading. I do think people were also curious if facts still matter. |
Yawn. . . |
People on the right generally know more of the particulars than the left on almost all political issues. Consistent scientific Pew surveys always find conservatives better informed by a wide margin. https://www.google.com/amp/s/theweek.com/articles/476186/are-republicans-better-informed-than-democrats%3famp |
