Rittenhouse. What an American Hero. Will Biden apologise?

[Debater Slayer]

Rittenhouse was a reckless fool whose recklessness and foolishness ultimately left two people dead and one wounded.

The verdict says that 12 people - the ones whose opinion count in the legal system - were not sure beyond a reasonable doubt that his fatal actions that night were reckless and foolish in a way that violated Wisconsin law (edit: at least with regard to the specific laws he was charged with breaking).

His actions still aren't praiseworthy.

I get the impression that many of those hailing him as a hero are either far-right reactionaries who are simply doing so to be diametrically opposed to prevalent leftist sentiment about him or supporters of violent vigilantism and excessively lax gun laws.

It's another episode in the larger series of intellectually hollow, emotionally charged tribalism that has been looming over U.S. politics for at least five years now.

It was boys like him who crossed the state line with an illegaly owned gun and killed people. Do you honestly think that is nice?

I am not accusing him of anything, there was s no doubt that he killed people. What he was found not guilty of was verious forms of murder. I am surprised you are unable to tell the difference

This had **** all to do with right or left, under American law he was found not guilty of murder. It does not change the facts

First of all.
You accuse me of not knowing the facts, and keep on about "crossing the state lines"...
Is it a crime to cross the state line?
Do you know Kenosha is his hometown, his father stays there?

Do you think a sex pervert has the right to threaten inocent citizens that he will kill them?
And that this criminal pervert has the right to try to kill Rittenhouse?
And this pedophile has the right to go and burn down small businusses owend by hard working Americans?
And this child mollester has the right to attempt to take a rifle from the person he tracked down who he threatened with death?

And you still think killing someone in self defence is MURDER!!!

well, accept the truth, you are wrong!
period, and to accuse me of condoning murder is borderline slander.

it is this woke and snowflake Bull poo that made the leftist criminals as strong as they are today.
Shape up and take a stand just as Rittenhouse did!

He should be applauded by you, not accused!
Now, that is not nice!

and excessively lax gun laws.

We do not have lax firearm laws we have lax enforcement of those laws, and lax courts dealing with those that break those laws.

Well, on the contrary, the people hailing him as a Hero are not far right, but have common sense to see the actions of the Far socilaist left who allowed cities to be looted and burned down!

The people who hail him as a hero are people who live in situations where the BLM and Antifa just came in to destroy!
...Whilst the Democrat socialist leaders flamed racism to gain votes....

If it has anything to do with Left or Right, it is the incapable thinking of leftists to see when they are wrong, looters, terrorists, arsonists, ...
YET THINKING THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO ACT LIKE THAT...

Why would they write the Rittenhouse self defence saga off as "Right Wing" empowerment, when in actual fact, it was a single man fighting for his life.
Shooting 3 people in self defence, ensuring he did so in minimum violence.

No, any person who says Rittnhouse is not a Hero, is a far left communist anarchist, who dont like a sitizen of the USA to stop them from destroying private propperty.

God bless the USA with guys like him.

Are you denying that he crossed the state line with a unregistered weapon?

Do you think a sex pervert has the right to threaten inocent citizens that he will kill them?

Conplete strawman, totally irrelevant.

And you still think killing someone in self defence is MURDER!!!

I have not once on this thread said murder except in response your claims. I have said that he KILLED people. Are you denying that he KILLED people?

well, accept the truth, you are wrong!

The truth is he KILLED people, what is your problem with the TRUTH


If you have to make up untrue claims about what i have written then it shows just how nonesense your hero claim is

Royal indoctrination in OP. So emotional and angry. Victim of propaganda.

Fundamentalism makes you an angry person, whether it's political or religious. In the OP's case, probably both.

So, a man walking around with an AR-15 who is not a policeman is compatible with Jesus' "law of love"?

Plenty of American Socialists love guns and support the second amendment.

…and the Black Panthers were big on guns and self-defence too…

Who made you God to pronounce damnation over anyone?

Only those who talk-the-talk about Jesus but don't walk-the-walk, as we were taught by him to "judge ye not...".

Not everything is about Jesus.
Peaceful conduct is good no matter what religion....& non-religion.

I just love the true spirit if the REAL American youth.

I mean, this guy is just incredibly well balanced and for his age he has the wisdom of a 50 year old, the brave heart of the 17 Yo men who fought in the World Wars and Vietnam, the compassion of Desmond T. Doss, and i think the law of fairness is imprinted on his conscience.

I think this is one of the best pieces of tongue-in-cheek sarcasm that I have seen on RF in a long time. Keep up the good work.

It just gets better and better. Please, don't stop now. I just love sarcasm when it's done this well.

It goes back farther than that, IMO.

It goes back to the Tea Party movement from ~2008-2009, and even before that, IMO there's a continuity from the militia movement of the 1990s (and earlier) to what we're seeing today.

In the 1990s, there was a lot more awareness of right-wing extremists as a threat from within. I think 9/11 shifted America's focus from internal threats to external threats, but those right-wing extremists never went away... indeed, their numbers grew, they gained political clout, and they found a home in the Republican Party.

I watched the video. @ChristineM 's assessment is correct.

Would it make a difference to the fact that he took the life (killed) two people?
