      partially because he got into legal hassles for using an AR-15 to defend himself against people who wanted to harm him.

        My guy, he crossed state lines with a firearm that wasn’t his, to go to a protest where the only people injured and killed were by his trigger finger because he put himself that situation. That’s not defending yourself. He’s functionally a home invader crying over the dead body of the homeowner he killed because the homeowner brandished a skateboard.

          No, no, his friend bought him the gun because he couldn’t buy it himself. But somehow that wasn’t a straw purchase.

          poor analogy.

          Home invaders want to rob and those in the homes are innocent victims, and it was a glock, not a skateboard.

          I have little tolerance for looters and vandals, some of whom might be wp:agent provocateurs.

              He’s referencing Gaige Grosskreutz who had a Glock. Anthony Huber was the one who attempted to use a skateboard as a bludgeon. Joseph Rosenbaum attempted to take Rittenhouse’s rifle after he had tried to distance himself.

              https://youtu.be/GrVKqTCdM-A

              Grosskreutz was hit in the arm and testified to aiming his pistol at Rittenhouse during the televised trial.

        I don’t know why I’m bothering to feed a troll. But he literally travelled there in order to put himself in a situation where he might have to defend himself because he wanted to fucking shoot someone. He purposefully created the opportunity to shoot someone without having to “technically” be the attacker.

              I’m being downvoted because I’m taking a rightist position in a forum of leftists, some who are quite thoughtful, others aren’t and are reactive.

                You’re being downvoted because you’re objectively wrong, factually and morally. The kid went out with the intention to kill someone, brought the tools to do it, and did it. It was absolutely premeditated. He killed people trying to disarm him. He did not act in self defense, he murdered 2 people in cold blood.

                He was allowed to get away with it because the republican party and their allies want to encourage more vigilantes to be killing leftists and minorities.

              I could be wrong as I’ve yet to read the Wikipedia article.

              Who did he kill: a few guys who were guilty of nothing, but their blackness made them targets of a bigot; or were they engaged in criminal activity and then threatened him when he showed up. If it’s the former, then he’s a criminal who should be prosecuted. If it’s the latter, I feel a bit freer to indulge in moral relativism.

                I’d say the swathes of downvotes and removal of your comments by mods would make you go read about it before jumping to his defence.

        Fuck off. He went out of his way to Cross state lines just to shoot someone. Then, he murdered someone in cold blood. Pathetic that people like you are still sucking his Dick…

    Over the past 12 hours, I’ve had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump’s team…

    …from political commentator Joey Mannarino, who wrote on X: “If not for Maga, you would be rotting in a prison bending over for Bubba … Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!”

    Yup.

          Obviously Kyle Shittenhouse had it coming by not endorsing Cheeto Dick Don and for having such a sweet, dickable hairy white booty.

          Excuse me while I go throw up. That hurt to type out.

            I’ve never thought of Donald Trump as having a hairy butt. I’ve always thought that he was the kind of person to have his ass waxed and bleached. Then there is the front side, which I’m sure is an unmanicured jungle of knotted grey hair, because he has no concern for opinion of anyone putting their face in it.

    I knew he was an idiot, but how are you going to break the only rule of the right wing grifters club and expect to get away with it? You never attack trump. This is elementary. You can maybe get away with soft attacks on certain issues, but outright going never trumper? You done fucked up, Kyle.
