    Don't think Joe Biden will be pardoning him.

    Dementia Joe probably will, in his mind, in whatever care home he’s put into after Trump beats him quite easily in November.

    Love it, will win easily, not just win, but easily.

    I don't think you even believe this yourself.

    If someone is trying to stop you after you killed someone, you can continue shooting and killing in ‘self-defense'.

    Is that how it works?

    Do yourself a favour and watch this video of a Lawyer explaining what he thinks happened.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7SooO03bJ8

    Then stop seeing everything how you want to see it so it suits your politics. The far left and far right are just wrecking everything for everyone else.
    Trump will get re-elected now because instead of trying to win votes the far left just want to be "morally right". Now we all suffer.

    Self defence, eh?

    AR-15 fires about 10 rounds per second, so sounds about right. One short pull of the trigger.

    Trump will win this one a lot easier than the last one. An awful lot easier.

    Do you really need a lesson in the symbolism of a guillotine versus a noose?

    One, since the time of the French revolution is commonly used in imagery where the populace is objecting to the behaviour of the government, the other where a very particular and identifiable sector of society is targeted in extra judicial killings.

    The connotations around both are very different, and widely understood. The Yellow Vest protests in France saw the same thing being done.

    Ah come off it lad, these people wouldn't be able to point France on a map.

    Guarantee the same excuses wouldn't wash with the lefties if Biden was faced with this.

    If he hadn't been illegally carrying a weapon, nobody would have died.

    The reason he was been chased was because he had shot someone in the head and they wanted to disarm him.

    Agreed, he was illegally carrying a weapon.

    Did you look at the video clip where the eye witness states that Rittenhouse was been chased prior to the first shooting? That's what led to the first shooting.

    So, his attackers wanted to disarm him because he had already killed one of his attackers in self-defence.

    It's people who vocalise their issues in the manner you are doing now, who make being "right leaning" people like myself seem extreme.

    If indeed you do find yourself watching a man kill another man on repeat, all the while laughing uncontrollably, seek help. If you don't, yet decided it would be good to rankle people on a discussion board by saying that you do, seek help.

    It's not shocking. It's not funny. It's just detrimental to conversation.

    I’d be heartbroken to see any innocent person harmed. Genuine tragedies affect me and I feel awful hearing about violence, sickness and death.
    Not in this case though.
    Did you see the video taken earlier in the night of Joseph before he was shot? Uncontrollable, out of his mind, looking for violence.
    Imagine what we didn’t see him do. He was a violent criminal intent on harming people. He was provoking and insighting rioting and violence.
    He led a mob to catch and damage someone. He would have been a hero in his group for doing this.
    I’m glad he’s gone and I enjoyed the video.

    There is zero evidence to support this.

    He lost the popular vote by 3M the last time round and since then,
    He didn't build the wall.
    He didn't jail Hillary.
    He didn't drain the swamp.
    He did preside over an inept Covid-19 response resulting in 180,000 US deaths (so far)
    He did alienate life long GOP supporters leading them to vouch for Biden and to actively campaign to showcase how bad Trump has been.
    He is behind in every poll there is at this point.

    I'm not saying that by the time November 4th comes around that he won't have won, but I am saying that at this point, there is no evidence that he might.

    But they were within their self defence rights to go after him if they felt threatened with violence, which they almost certainly did when he showed up with a rifle

    It's a semi auto no? No chance it has that rate.

    Yes, it's semi-auto. But a semi-auto can realistically fire about 5 or 6 shots per second, depending on how fast you can pull the trigger.

    Lying on his back under attack and managed to hit a small target five times. Very impressive. And he’s only 17!
    He should go into law enforcement.

    I watched the video, if that was the case the other 2 would have been shot multiple times.

    But the laws are usually based on threat not who started the violence. You don't have to wait for someone to shoot you if you think they are just about to. Which of course leads to a loop that imo starts with him showing up there and losing his right to claim it.

    Depends on how often he pulled the trigger. One pull of the trigger, one shot. He may have pulled the trigger more or less in each instance or he may also have missed a few times.

    He fired 7 bullets and hit someone with each time. No that hard given how close his victims where.

    It all depends on the circumstances. Someone armed and acting as a security guard (albeit unofficially) would not normally be considered a threat to anyone, especially if the protesters intended to mind their own business and not attack that property.

    If they weren't going to attack that property, why would they feel that Rittenhouse was going to shoot them? :confused:

    Spree shooter? He shot those that were a threat to him in self defence. There was a fourth attacking him who backed off, when he realised that playing stupid games, does indeed win you stupid prizes, and put his hands up. The shooter realised he was no longer a threat and disengaged. There was nothing “spree” about this shooting. Each shot hit exactly who he was aiming to hit.

    If they hadn't been out looting then they wouldn't have been shot

    If jabob blake had stopped when he was told too he wouldn't have gotten shot

    if George Floyd hadn't been for his tits on various drugs and resisting arrest he would be alive

    if Rashard brooks hadn't decided to fight the police he would be alive

    if mike brown hadn't been out committing crimes and fighting the police he would be alive

    the overwhelming majority of these people are the author of their own demise

    And I guess that the lady who wore a short skirt was "asking" for rape?
    This victim blaming is disgusting.

    By me LITERALLY saying that:

    My opinion is that people, of all races, should be judged on their actions and character and not the colour of their skin.

    puts me on the "wrong side of history"?

    I'm genuinely done even trying to speak to you. You put a completely made up quote in quotation marks and tried to attribute it and alluded it to be something I said and ignored my actual quote.

    Absolutely dishonest and incendiary for no reason.

    Lad your banging ur head against the wall trying to talk logically to her/him they will make stuff up lie, skew stories and figures and even when u destroy there arguments with irrefutable prove they ll prob just restort to shouting "racist!"

    Absolutely demented logic they see themselves as righteous never wrong saintly people they are litterally the most the dangerous type of BLM followers .
