    The local Police, the FBI, Obama's Justice Department, eye witnesses, the medical examiners findings, Zimmermans testimony and a jury of his peers say otherwise. You are proffering a fairy tale. You must be a disciple of cnn and msnbc.

    It's interesting in this thread that the left act like if this man didn't have a gun, he'd be a model citizen who respected laws if he hadn't have possession of a gun. It's all about the gun.

    The other option, and it's an absolutely unthinkable one to leftists, is to hold the criminal accountable for his actions. What choice do they have?

    So you think this guy's problem was that he owned too many guns and not that he's a violent savage ready to shoot someone for no reason?

    Does the article mention how many guns he owns, or just what he did with the one he was no doubt illegally carrying at the time?

    Here's a pop quiz for you. Where did more people get shot:

    1. The January 6th insurrection
    2. A baby shower involving Democratic voters in Pennsylvania

    Remember not to wrestle the gun away from someone trying to shoot you. You may be committing murder by proxy.

    Its not that forums like this did not have unabashed racists, who would post stuff like some of the above, all along. Every forum has a couple. What's really different nowadays, is the string of 4 or 5 posters who are unashamed to publicly and brazenly endorse it by clicking that 'like' button. That's a post Trump phenomena.

    Unless of course the people 'liking' those posts aren't Americans, can't stand Trump, and aren't white.

    No lazy-assumption soup for you!

    No doubt it started out with a verbal disagreement that went up in volume... and so that's where you can claim a person felt threatened and so pulled his gun.

    Lets be honest about this. We're presented with a picture of a black male, and suddenly the entire idea that this very well could be out of self defense is just out the window. So oh yeah... I'm pulling the race card. Now what?

    My point was that you do not need to be shot at in order to claim self defense. I presented an example we all know too well.... proving my point.

    My point wasn't about redoing the case of Zimmerman. That's off topic.

    Let's be clear that during the January 6th that violent mob beating cops was predominantly white and gained access to capitol, and only 1 shot was fired..... while cops have absolutely no problem to use all the force needed and some more if a black person resists.

    I love how the OP said zero things about race, but rather criticized through sarcasm the racist scapegoat constantly on display, and the first comment is to call him a racist.

    You just proved their point.

    Stop with the constant "racist!" BS, and admit a culture issue exists in the black community. You sticking your head in the sand and calling everybody else a racist isn't working. It's time to address the actual issue.

    Rosenbaum was trying to get the gun away from Rittenhouse who was trying to shoot him. He got killed over it, and this forum is full of protect the blue types finding Rittenhouse did it in self defense.

    A massive picture was shown of a black dude. That makes people grind their gears about chances of a black person voting for the GOP, him being a BLM fan.
    Oh yeah... I'm pulling the race card. And so?

    "There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy."

    You didn't even read your own article, man that's really funny. All you did was post a link and make up a narrative.

    The $250k bail amount tells me the judge doesn’t think it’s self defense.

    Data does not back up your statement. Data shows us that the more (or less) guns we have has no affect on gun violence. If you truly want to reduce gun violence, then you'll have to be prepared to change the culture that leads to gun (or any) violence.

    Let's have just one example, to start (and yes, I'm fully expecting 'police profiling', but I'll be delighted by a deviation from the tired trope!).

    On the contrary, it's doing exactly what they want it to do. Keep the belief in oppression alive in the group they want oppressed.
