Rittenhouse. What an American Hero. Will Biden apologise?

If killing someone trying to kill you makes one feel guilty or remorseful, then that person has issues.

I don’t think killing my would be murderers would really present such a burden.

Humans, because of their social nature, are often empathetic and compassionate, and having remorse even with self-defense is a natural and healthy reaction.

how can they be white supremacists when they have many members with various brown shades of skin?

Those are the best members a white supremacist group could hope to recruit. It is a mistake to think that dark skinned people cannot be white supremacists. These are self-loathing people who want to be identified with and accepted by white people. My brother-in-law is a self-loathing Latino, an anti-Latino bigot. He identifies with his Anglo wife and her family, supported Trump, and distances himself from his Mexican heritage as much as possible.

Or look at Clarence Thomas. What a coup for white supremacists to replace a Supreme Court justice like Thurgood Marshal with a black man who votes like a white bigot.

Christian congregations also covet Jewish converts, whose conversion is seen as a repudiation of Judaism.

No, your identity is not suddenly " killer". It's just something you were forced to do to remain as alive.

His identity is killer by both the left and right, the right reveling in it. Rittenhouse might not self-identify as a killer yet, but if not, he will soon due to the influence of those soliciting him to be a poster child for their ammosexual agenda. These are the kind of people that are excited about Rittenhouse. They (Boebert and Greene) want him interning for them in Congress, along with the other wannabe killers in Congress:

If one kills somebody and has no dysphoric experience at all, even if the killing is justified, then that is the person with issues, probably sociopathy.

That's somewhat unusual. Whilst I imagine I could rationalise it well enough, taking another humans life would likely lead me to at the very least consider other courses of action.
And ALL people have issues.

If there's a group with quite a few white supremacists in it, I would want nothing to do with it- period! Why would I even want to join with all the troubles that this could bring? Matter of fact, why would I even want to join a group that has marched carrying swastika flags?

Unless one indeed is a white supremist themselves. :shrug:

I have a question... how can they be white supremacists when they have many members with various brown shades of skin?

They have a somewhat incoherent leadership structure, and are divided into a large number of independent chapters who only loosely align in matters of detail. I imagine there are differences from chapter to chapter, and they don't have a simple manifesto espousing race-hatred.

But Gavin McInnes has said plenty of things over the years that count as racist (amongst other things). Or do you disagree?

Yet TWO people are dead, what wonderful self control some people have.

You simply cannot get around the FACT that he killed 2 people.
Sometimes there's no other option. Are you saying you would not kill to save your life? Easy to say until it's actually your life on the line.

Deliberately going armed into a volatile situation and killing 2 people makes him a killer
So we should either avoid places where people might attack us or we should just curl up and die?
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is good people doing nothing to stop it.

Or we can avoid places where idiots with guns are being idiots and live our lives knowing we are not killers.

So let neighborhoods be destroyed and good people be beaten for no reason to save ourselves from any danger?
I saw what was actually happening in Kenosha that night. They needed all the defenders they could get.
