Kenosha

I wonder how the night would have gone if cops weren’t letting armed vigilantes roam the streets in the first place

nm the real threat is still the ones trying to loot snickers bars

Not just "letting them" but giving them water and organizing them. They were basically deputized. Those actions helped to feed their delusions of being armed defenders of the nation.

Meanwhile, in Goergia

You do realize that the two cases are entirely unrelated and don't compare to one another, right? I hope?

Again, you're being silly. At their core, they're about the same thing: guns and vigilantism.

With several major differences:

1.) Adults were involved in the Georgia case
2.) They pursued the individual in question
3.) They initiated and forced a confrontation

[JKLivin]

Permissible? By my logic? Huh?

Dude, we can only speculate how much worse the bloodshed would have been on January 6, if the insurrectionists weren’t white.

Yup. Totally ignore the point and keep propping up your narrative. I've come to expect as much.

I didn't see any white people with AR-15s driving out to prevent the Capital from being damaged.

Exactly. They stayed home, minded their own business, and trusted law enforcement to handle things. Which is how it should be. I never said that Kyle Rittenhouse belonged in Kenosha, nor did I applaud him for going there. I have just maintained that he did not commit murder.

but remember, still like totally not about race, right?

After firing the shots, they stood over Arbery’s dying body and actually yelled, “fuckin nagger”

It was only a reference to how annoyed they wuz

I need to read up more on the civil proceedings, but it sounds like the Gaige dude’s suit also names the police department, alleging the cops were in cahoots with all the militant Kyle’s

And that has what to do with Kyle Rittenhouse?

In both cases, people that are dead would be alive had white dudes with guns not gone WAY out of their lane.

I think we agree on that point.

if law enforcement was allowed to do their job. kenosha wouldn't be in this position. pull up the fire truck. plug it in . hose em down the road.

problem solved. kenosha wouldn't be in this position.

We'll remember that the next time a group of "patriots" try to storm the Capital and attempt to kidnap and kill the governor.

FYP

[Cascadia]

Listening to a podcast from earlier this week that contained some audio from the Arbery case.

Defense lawyer is basically claiming the same thing as Kyle's lawyer. "The victim touched my clients gun, my client feared for his life so he killed Ahmaud!"

[ousdahl]

“Their own decision to carry a gun became a justification to use it”

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

That’s awesome!

How do we not have more of that.

I also saw a headline that some dood was hanging outside the courthouse with an assault rifle, and cops asked him to take it home

Not just the courthouse - a school!

Read the last two sentences. Seems like a mentally stable guy to me. Let's let him walk around with an AR-15. What can possibly happen?

We all agree that 999 out of 1,000 people would handle sticks of TNT responsibly. I demand to be able to carry sticks of TNT in public.

God bless America 2021! Watch till the very end...

[ousdahl]

even with a mask on, you can tell that guy in the foreground is cringing.

I'd say that cost him his credibility but at no point in the conversation did he ever have any. But yeah, you could practically feel everyone's eyes roll with that last comment.

“Aliens hide behind clouds”

lulz for the win right there

[ousdahl]

Despite his best efforts, maybe he’s accidentally right.

Aliens prob do think we’re deranged. But precisely cuz of guys like him, not cuz of whatever point he thinks.

If you were gonna hit up a new planet full of life, why pick one where the smartest life forms possess zero awareness and are still caught up about shit like race?

Go pick a more enlightened planet
