    So the left thinks that you should be able to finish off a night of rioting and looting by chasing people down in the streets, threaten their lives, beat them with skateboards, and point guns at them with complete and utter impunity. That’s their version of equity.

    along with this hag of a VP we have got more riots popping out. Kneeling for those Kyle had to defend himself from. More destruction of private property from the group this VP thinks needs more equity.

    we also have that old quarterback kapercanickanick whatever his name was. Coming out and saying that this proves something to whatever his worthless cause is.

    These people literally want to be able to riot, loot, murder in our streets. That’s what they’re arguing for. And they have a trash VP to try and give them a voice. This puts Jan 6 in the dirt.

    That's exactly what they want, and justice got served twice over in the Rittenhouse case.

    I'm sure that's not what she meant.
    Suppose white men who get arrested, starting tomorrow, automatically get at least a 6-month sentence with no trial or hearings until the total of white men in prison reaches the same percentage as their percentage in the country.
    Then for at least one day there would be no work to do.

    The more I think about this the more I realize that the Left's crybully response to the Rittenhouse acquittal is typical of a bully, and there's only ONE way to deal with bullies:

    Stand up to them.

    And that's why Leftists and Democrats are in a state of aneurysmal rage right now - people stood up to them.

    The same thing happened after the elections here in Virginia where we stood up to them - they exploded in anger - and despite the fact that we elected a Black woman to statewide office for the first time in our long history, they shrieked "Racist!" to the heavens.

    Make no mistake, that's all their ad hominem sandbox antics are - bullying. They think they can bully people into submission.

    Stand up America.

    What do you mean that’s not what she meant? How could it mean anything else?

    You want our prisons to reflect the population rate and not criminal rates? Lmao are you effin kidding me?!?’

    No I think that's what she wants.
    We need to convict more whites, arrest more whites, shoot more whites, lynch more whites.
    Only when we have a tie can we be sure no one tampered with the results.
    That was discussed even in the first Deathwish movie.
    By the way, what would have happened to Charles Bronson if they caught him after the first killing?

    Oh but he's not kidding and that's what's scary about the left.

    So what happens when the reality that blacks commit crimes at higher rates than all other races sets in? Are whites just arrested for the sake of equality?

    Thanks to Kyle Rittenhouse black Americans in places like Kenosha now know they can arm themselves and keep the peace in their communities.

    Death Wish was released in 1974.
    Back in that day Bronson would have been convicted of 1st degree murder and his Death Wish would have been granted.

    Did anyone say they couldn't arm themselves? You heard of the 2nd amendment?

    But yes, if rioters are threatening cities and communities and burning businesses down, assaulting, and murdering people, all races may defend themselves. Odd that you didn't know this?

    It’s not just about arming yourself. Kyle was running away. He was being pursued by his attackers. It’s still not legal to have a gun and just go looking for people to shoot. Kyles case does not change that. Now if a black man or any man for that matter proved they were running and getting mauled by multiple attackers then shot them I would always argue in their defense. But if you seen someone looting, starting a fight, or anything else then just went up and popped them that’s not self defense.

    If that is what they are literally saying, then why not start the thread by quoting them say it?

    What else would she or the rioters mean? They wanted Kyle Rittenhouse to be found guilty, including our VP. That can only mean that the people chasing him were within their rights to beat him and possible murder him, over him being within his rights to defend himself. Literally what else could it mean?

    What I know is not the issue.

    I blame the schools and the Fake News MSM for the abject ignorance of millions if not most Americans with respect to the right to self defense and the right to bear arms.
    Even well read members of this forum were convinced that KR did not have a right to carry firearms or defend himself. At last ordinary Americans are finally waking up and exercising their rights - hence the acquittal.

    Black Americans now know that they no longer have to depend on corrupt politicians and the police under the command of corrupt politicians to protect themselves and their community.

    Fact: Black Americans have a right to carry arms on their streets to protect themselves and their communities.

    Do you disagree?

    Fact: no I do not disagree… but some on the left wing media have said that this means people can just go out and shoot people and claim self defense when that’s not the case. They act as if attacking and self defense are the same thing

    The justice system is definitely in need of work. It caves to blm mobs way to often, and this trial never should have taken place.

    Problem is the Left is really really bad at math and thinks 1 day of republicans breaking into Congress vs years of Democrat violent rioting are equal.

    hell, they think Jan 6 is more than all their violence combined.

    another sad trait of Leftists? They think thoughts and threats of violence from republicans are more dangerous than actual violence from Democrats.

    These people are either fake or stupid. Either way, there’s no reasoning with them on anything because logic doesn’t exist.

    That is true. Protests against conditions in urban hell holes like Kenosha are fully justified.
    But anarchists/arsonists should not be allowed to destroy already distressed collapsing communities.
    This will never happen where a large percent of local citizens are known to be carrying firearms.

    More Guns = Peaceful Protests + No Riots

    Don’t even attempt to try to understand the sickness these people have. Don’t you know 13% of the population should hold 50% of the jobs, qualified or not? And we should arrest people equally and not based on actual crimes :)

    Leftists don’t understand math. And by the way, the fact black people make up the vast majority of NBA and NFL players despite only being 13% of the population, doesn’t matter at all. Hehe

    He went looking for trouble and armed himself in anticipation of finding trouble. He found it.

    At the particular moment he pulled the trigger, he may have been in fear of his life and defending himself so I can understand the verdict.

    But he definitely bears responsibility for what eventually happened. He is no hero. He is a coward.
