    So he hears a GUNSHOT turns around and shoots a person with a firearm.. Well sounds fair nuff to me! I suppose he could have "ASKED" who was shooting/discharging a weapon hoping the next shot he heard didn't KILL him, but I think he prolly made the right call..

    I think we should try to be as kind and gentle as possible with the victims of Fake News disinformation.
    I now it can be a challenge.

    Not yet, but I think it can really happen that there will be a mistrial.
    The longer the jury deliberates, the more likely it is that a couple of the jury members refuse to acquit. Which would mean a mistrial. I doubt you'll get a unanimous conviction on anything. I wonder if Rittenhouse can file suit even if there is a mistrial.

    I doubt that the people who attacked KR were BLM. They were white, and more likely AntiFa or FBI informants or both.

    Of course he can, defamation of character is defamation of character. They can't prove him to be a 'nazi, white supremacist' but he can easily prove the damages that such claims provide. Liberals must LOVE bankrupting themselves.

    The political left is trying to intimidate the jurors, so all it takes is one juror who is afraid that the city will burn again or they will be attacked and it's a mistrial.

    Also since Kyle was on camera at a Trump rally, all it takes is a single TDS afflicted moron on the jury, and they will never vote to acquit no matter how strong the video evidence that it was self-defense.

    His concealed carry license was not expired. He committed perjury when he said that under oath. His concealed carry license was revoked because he had an open criminal case for prowling and a conviction for carrying a firearm while intoxicated.

    So in retrospect, there was no legal curfew so that charge was dropped and Kyle legally carried the rifle so that charge was dropped.

    The same prosecutor that charged Rittenhouse is the same prosecutor charging Dominic Black. Black bought the rifle legally and there is no proof that he used Rittenhouse's money. That Rittenhouse would buy it from him later when he was 18 is not against the law and now that the gun charge against Rittenhouse was dropped because he was carrying it legally there is no law that says it is against the law for Black to let him carry it. In effect all the charges against Black should be dismissed with prejudice.

    Good point. KR used minimum force to defend himself - no collateral damage or casualties.
    The Army War College should ask him to conduct a seminar.

    He’s just virtue signaling. One watch of the vid proves everything he claims is bs.

    They also love rewriting history. They are now contemplating the complete removal of references to the largest genocides in world history under Communist regimes from Wikipedia. We can't let the impressionable kids know where socialism inevitably leads can we? This is unbelievably dark territory the people who control communication are leading us into.

    Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.

    Wikipedia has been overrun with wokeness for a while now. You'll not find the truth there, at least not when it conflicts with leftist dogma.

    Communists are evil.

    Communists had insights similar to those of the American founders.

    “The bureaucracy and the standing army are a ‘parasite’ on the body of bourgeois society, a parasite spawned by the internal contradictions tearing that society apart, but a parasite which ‘chokes’ all it’s vital pores.” V. I. Lenin, State and Revolution, Penguin. p. 27.

    Nevertheless, evil is as evil does.

    "Incredibly, the crimes of Communism have yet to receive a fair and just
    assessment from both historical and moral viewpoints. This book is one of
    the first attempts to study Communism with a focus on its criminal
    dimensions, in both the central regions of Communist rule and the farthest
    reaches of the globe. Some will say that most of these crimes were actions
    conducted in accordance with a system of law that was enforced by the
    regimes' official institutions, which were recognized internationally and
    whose heads of state continued to be welcomed with open arms. But was this
    not the case with Nazism as well? The crimes we shall expose are to be
    judged not by the standards of Communist regimes, but by the unwritten code
    of the natural laws of humanity."
    THE BLACK BOOK OF COMMUNISM, CRIMES, TERROR, REPRESSION, Stéphane Courtois, Nicolas Werth, Jean-Louis Panné, Andrzej Paczkowski, Karel Bartošek, Jean-Louis Margolin, Edited by Mark Kramer, Translated by Jonathan Murphy, Harvard University Press (October 15, 1999).

    The dude is a nazi. The judge dragged him back to court over it, and altered the guys bail and banned him from hanging out with his white nationalistic friends. Historic fact, so get over it already. And it would figure a nazi would have a problem with free speech.

    Why do some lefties constantly call people who don't buy into their hysterical views "Nazis". Your claim about him is slanderous and a lie

    You're not responding that my opinion that this guy is a nazi, because of what the judge had to say about it when he altered his bail.


    I know you righties want to be in that alternative reality show.
    But it's just a dull horseplay game. Very dull. And flat out lying.

    Dull thinking is a problem for some.

    You are not thinking rationally or do not have all the facts.

    The scene with the Proud Boys was set up by his previous lawyer who got fired for it. Kyle didn’t know who they were. On top of that it’s hard to call the Proud Boys Nazis or white nationalists when the leader had been black and another married to a black woman. They were supporters of Western civilization that simply triggered the American hating left. You are part ofWestern civilization so that must make you a Nazi by your own definition.

    Ah... it was all a conspiracy set up by the previous lawyer.
    Of course. When in doubt, just toss the reality is a conspiracy.
    /facepalm

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys
    The Proud Boys is an American far-right, neo-fascist.. organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.
    Again. My opinion is founded. It's perfectly within bounds to call see "neo-fascists" as nazi's.

    That's just rebranding the world "white" to something else.

    You far right wingers do this crap all the time.
    Previously it was "3rd position'.

    I understand you believe anything you are told to believe. Critical or rational thinking is never needed in that case. The Proud Boys engage the anarchists Antifa, another darling of the left.

    You mean. I can back up my opinion, and you still have not,... and in fact I sourced you are wrong about why the lawyer got fired.
    Hence my point stands that the kid is a nazi.

    It's your claim. I got Kyle's opinion why he fired his lawyer, and it's not what you claim it to be. And you proved nothing, and you remain to not prove a thing. So you either prove something, or your opinion is just a fake news.
