RITTENHOUSE Verdict unleashes CELEBRATIONS, on the RIGHT

The overwhelming member response, to the Rittenhouse verdict, is the subject of this thread. I have yet to see such enthusiasm, here, before now: there are SIX threads (excluding this one), on the verdict, and all were on the first page of "new posts." And, including the 2nd page, I saw at least another half-dozen threads on other aspects of the case, pre-verdict. I am interested in theories about this excitement which members on the Right, seem to be exhibiting. To my mind, it is as if they are extrapolating some victory for their "side," or cause, from this, instead of just regarding the verdict to be about only this particular case. So, for any with explanations of the reaction from the Right-- and theories/perspectives from any part of the political spectrum, are welcome-- I invite your speculations. Perhaps some who have been here longer than me, have seen something like this, in the past?

I'm guessing, part of the exuberance is due to this result not being expected?

 

Ummm....this case was politized from the get-go....this is www.politicalforum.com....do you seriously doubt for a moment had the verdicts went the other way the Left here wouldn't be in exultation?

 

Under a regime that unleashes the FBI against parents expressing their opinion in school board meetings and raids the home of a journalist and steals his phones to gather contacts to unleash a proposed 87,000 new secret police against, a small victory for the liberty and the system of justice we enjoyed before January 21, 2021 is in order. This despite the current dictator attempting to tip the scale of justice against the defendant ,,, before he even became dictator.

 

For those that value their second amendment rights and due process, this is a victory. Some would have seen a lynching as a victory.

 

What was really on trial here was whether or not you can defend yourself with lethal Force against rioters.

This isn't the victory for the right wing it's a victory for American citizens.

 

You seem disappointed Were you hoping that a lynching would ensue? Why do you suppose democrats are so apt to lynch innocent folk? By all means, hit the street. Protest. Peacefully. And know when you go out there that if you tell someone you're going to kill them, and then chase after them, even though they have a visible weapon that you do so at your own peril, and the tranquility of the community having been broached will be your fault. And if should you not make it back, well, your actions put you in the situation, and your actions alone are responsible for whatever else happens. Perhaps you'll remember that.

 

You've just described a dystopian world where vigilante murder is permitted. And it seems to give you goosebumps.

 

Personally, I didn't buy into this case being a referendum on any national issues, and had not even followed it.

But, to answer your question, I would expect posters on the Left to celebrate, but with enough restraint to limit themselves to two or three threads, at most.

If this verdict IS being viewed as some sort of authoritative dictum, with national application, would that not only encourage more people to show up at protests, toting military style weapons, to "keep the peace," inevitably leading to more, tragic consequences?

 

I think your post is a perfect example of the sensibilities of at least a sizable portion of our post-revelers: you mention nothing at all about this actual case; Rittenhouse, you see as being a symbol for your own political philosophy. Hence, his acquittal, is your own "team's" victory. Is that how you think court cases should be decided, and verdicts thought of, by the general population?

 

Thank you for your explanation, which I absolutely believe is the truth, in your case. But, as we know, 2nd Amendment rights is something that you feel especially passionate about, even compared to the Right, in general. So I think this is a partial explanation, but not the universal one. See Mitchstove's reply, above, and my answer to it.

So.. are is the loony Left rioting yet? or do they have to wait for the sun to set? Or will they have to wait for a waning moon?, not as much cover of darkness with this full moon.

 

More like relief over justice being done for once, rather than exhuberance but what ever.

 

What elicits that reaction? The on the face reading of my OP, should be indicative of curiosity, on my part; not "disappointment."

OK, now you are just pulling things out if your ass. After your 1st two sentences are not just ill-supported, by complete fantasies on your part, you have shown it would be a waste of time, to read any more of your thoughts.

 

Hey Lee. This trial wasn't about the 'Summer of Love' in Seattle where some were murdered simply because they didn't agree with the mandates of a self appointed dictator.


The Brown Shirts lost in Kenosha.... Hope it becomes a trend.

 

You avoided my question: what is it about THIS case, that makes "justice," such a relief, that it would immediately spawn 6 threads?

 

Obviously a good many people, myself included were concerned that the jury would succumb to pressure and cave to the mob. Especially when the obvious verdict wasn't immediately returned.

 

Interesting-- so you see this verdict, as an indictment against BLM.

 

RITTENHOUSE Verdict unleashes CELEBRATIONS, on the RIGHT

But they still claim the violence of 2020 was started by Left leaning locals.

But there are thousands of jury trials, going on every day. For how many of them, do you await the results, with bated breath? And how many of those results, which you would find to be "fair," stir you to an open celebration of your joy?

IOW, what do you find SPECIAL, about THIS particular case, to motivate your "concern?" You seem to be suggesting this case taking on a magnitude, well beyond itself, if you are going to force me to try to read between the lines.

 

It has become a rare thing for juries to look at the facts and rule accordingly. So, this is a rare time the jury did so, and did not give into the threats and lies from the Democrat mob

 

how many of these trials have MSNBC, CNN and the president distorting the facts and tainting the public opinion?

 

Mostly the left was on the wrong side of this based on politics. The 'right' argued the facts and the law and the 'left' argued feelings. So who would be crowing lie a banshee if Kyle had been convicted?

 

You must have Esp (Extra Sensory Perception) in the wishful belief that the leftist brown shirts may indeed trend to losing any and all cases where their brown shirted mobsters are involved. I must caution you of one thing here. You are ripe for being called a white supremacist for the mere fact that you used the color brown (brown shirts) in describing these radical leftists. The LEFT is a bit touchy-feely when it comes to calling them racist, or in calling them supporters of the racist teaching of CRT.

 

When does the looting and rioting start? I want to make sure I have plenty of popcorn for the evening...

 

That is an extremely grand contention, and one, I notice, that offers zero supporting evidence. If such a thing were even remotely true, it would be a small matter to supply more examples of juries "giving in to threats and lies from the Democrat mob," than I would ever wish to go through. It would appear that when a jury disagrees with your idea of what a verdict should be, you consider them to have not gone by the facts.
How delusionally conceited, of you.
