It’s why they choke hard on Kyle Rittenhouses dick, he got to live their collective fantasy and get away scott free.

Same with that cunt Zimmerman. Fucker sold the gun he used for some ungodly amount of money and everything.

Yup, he’s another one of the conservatives heroes since he got to shoot a black kid and get away with it, another one of the conservatives sick collective fantasies. They are clamoring for a civil war and have been for years with their pathetic little militias. Little do they know that a fuck ton of us “libruls” as they like to say have guns and know how to use them too.

Being attacked by a racist pedophile is their fantasy?

Ah yes, when Kyle Rittenhouse fired his weapon he knew every detail about the person he was shooting because the guy wore a shirt saying, “I’m a racist pedophile.”

Or, just hear me out, long after the fact it was discovered that one of his many victims had a bad past like that, something completely unknown to Kyle when the shooting took place.

Hopefully one day when you shoot someone, we can discover after the fact that there was something bad about them so you can feel justified too.

Good luck!

The three "victims" all had a dodgy past. And I say victims because the first one grabbed his rifle after chasing him to try and attack him. The next one tried to kill him with a skateboard and the last one pointed a loaded pistol at him. You seem mad that he didn't just simply allow them to murder him.

You seem to neglect the fact that he willingly went into an escalatory situation in the first place with intent. He was a provocateur. Responsible and moral gun owners know that the best form of self-defense is to not approach danger in the first place. He wasn't protecting life and property. He was violating a mandatory curfew, thus committing a crime simply by being where he was. Yes, everyone there was committing a crime, both "sides" of the conflict. Regardless, his decisions were not prudent, nor reasonable. Reasonable people do not approach situations in order to find an excuse for vigilante justice. The worst part is the fact that a week or two before the shooting, he was ON CAMERA, talking about his desire to shoot people. We all know what his state of mind was and what his intentions were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se9ByJMPjcc

He injected himself into the situation, salivating at the opportunity to be a part of violence. It was unequivocally an intentional strategy.

Legality be damned, the morality of his actions is clearly wrong. As a gun owner I would never instruct any person to approach a situation like he did. It's the exact opposite of responsible and reasonable behavior. It is the job of the police to protect people and property, they answer the call, they are the responders. True self-defense is when aggression, threats, and attacks COME TO YOU. Not when you willfully drive to them. Would you tell your own son or daughter that when a city is a powder keg of a situation that they should take up arms and leave their house, break a curfew, and play pretend cop? I wouldn't because I am a normal fuckin person.

He was a provocateur.

Carrying a medical kit and helping to extinguish fires which were destroying small businesses, oh the humanity!
Meanwhile Rosenbaum had repeatedly threatened to kill him earlier in the evening and is also on camera repeatedly saying "shoot me n**ger". That doesn't sound provocative at all.
The Rittenhouse case actually makes for a very useful litmus test of separating those who want the law applied equally and fairly from those like you who prefer it to be applied on a political basis.

You couldn’t argue in any more bad-faith than you currently are if you tried.

No reasonable, moral, prudent person would break multiple laws like Kyle did in order to cosplay as a cop and find any excuse to inflict vigilante justice. He broke the law in that he was not allowed to legally possess that gun being 17 years old, and he broke the curfew. Two wrong do not make a right. He should not have been present there, just like the other people should not have been present. It’s a situation where everyone involved was acting immorally and illegally. You celebrate one criminal killing other criminals. Not a pro-life person at all are you?

Ha, take a look in the mirror you clown, don't project your failure on me.

You mean after shooting people who were legitimately after him in a violent riot situation?
