    It's a close second. Both are stupid impulsive behaviours, but I would probably agree with you there.

    I’d say it’s much further down than second but we all have our opinions.

    Putting it this way.... Charlie freaking Sheen is a wife beater and a rather fanatic drug addict. He went to comedy central to get roasted, and his basic reply was... I am indeed all that and I am getting away with it too. That new show he had after 2.5 half men, called anger management, was him actually making millions from the anger management treatment he took to avoid prison. That's how American is for the rich and white but not for the poor and black.

    And Rittenhouse had 2 million bucks to spend on getting practice jury runs, rent the jury picking expert of OJ Simpson and what not to get that acquittal to happen vs a prosecutor who simply did a very poor job... by taking just 1 day for the jury selection (instead of 2 to 3 weeks) and asking questions to witnesses that was totally helping out Rittenhouse. So I do not agree with your thing of "the only guy that got off scott free was black"... Rittenhouse aint black.

    Yeah that was really unfair when his defense attorney asked that gauge fellow he didn't shoot you when you had your hands up now did he?

    He only shot you when you pointed your gun at him right?

    But you know that must be because he's white or something....smdh

    The prosecutors could have asked... did Rittenhouse point his rifle at you? Did that cause you to fear for your life when Rittenhouse did that while you had your hands up? Did you point your gun at Rittenhouse purely out of your fear for your life since he was aiming his rifle at you? And then explain to the jury how normal the reaction is to fear for your life when some kid aims his smoking gun at you while you got your hands up, and that you got a right to protect your life when that happens. It doesn't take a lot of common sense to see how utterly bad the prosecutors messed it all up, but there is you.

    I see you're resorting to your usual Petty insults, I'm not surprised because there is you....

    Have any evidence that kid pointed his gun at him first?

    Of course not neither did the jury.

    LOL, the prosecutions star witness said Kyle didn’t shoot him until he pointed his pistol at Kyles head and its all on video so Grosskreutz lying about it wouldn’t work.

    Rittenhouse got off because of everything on video and the prosecutors star witnesses. Face it, this case should never have gone to trial but political pressure forced it. Lots of people on the left want to see innocent people burn.

    You obviously never followed the case. Here is a pic with Kyle pointing his rifle at Grosskreuz with his hands up. So now what?

    What I found interesting is that moments earlier Rittenhouse told the Unicep guy he was going to the police to turn himself in and Unicep pursued him anyway while he had both biceps in tact.

    He then lowered it so…GK approached and aimed at Kyle.

    By far almost all BLM rallies were peaceful. https://time.com/5886348/report-peaceful-protests/
    It is a rather racist stereotype to claim black people only burn and loot when wanting equal rights.

    You don't live in the US, do you?

    Just because Darrell Brooks is a BLM supporter, doesn't mean one bit that BLM supports what Darrell Brooks did.
    There is absolutely nothing that points out something ever so remotely that it like that.
    So your attempt to make a correlation is just absurd.

    Darrell Brooks also has a beard. Maybe you can find a cartoon that links his beard with what he did at the Christmas parade.
    Or you can stop making stupid correlations that make no sense.

    Doesn't change a thing that the prosecutors could have asked the question that Grosskreutz pointed his weapon because Rittenhouse was aiming his smoking barrel of the gun at him making Grosskreutz fear for his life.... and so totally logically reacted that way.

    I got asked if Rittenhouse ever pointed his rifle at Grosskreutz, with a smear as if it did not happen.... and I proved that poster it did happen. The end.

    Because Grosskreutz chased him down the street and unlike others he still attacked him instead of backing off like others did. That’s not self defense in any sense of the word.

    You're not commenting at all how utterly bad the prosecutors did their job and how this matters.

    They didn’t have a case so it’s no wonder it went badly for them.

    You're just doubling down and keep on not commenting at all how utterly bad the prosecutors did their job and how this matters.

    Not having a case pretty much affects the outcome. That the prosecutors tried to throw the case by violating Kyles rights should give you a clue how bad it was.

    Yup. Defamation cases for all. Perhaps some jail time for the framers of said lies would be appropriate here.

    BLM has Marxism at it's roots. It has the overthrow of America as it's aim. It is behind every looting and burning we have seen in recent years.

    Of course I do.

    BLM agitates the actions of the likes of Darrel Brooks. Stop playing the race game!

    Unicep approached Kyle not the other way around. For Kyle, it was beat him to the trigger or die.

    What a great argument. Let's see if it applies universally. Officer, you pointed your firearm at me while I was running up on you with a loaded 9mm in my hand. I feared for my life and totally logically reacted by aiming at you.

    Pointing your firearm is both an offensive and a defensive tactic. Are you suggesting the guy who had just gotten clocked in the head after running toward the police was on offense?

    It still inconveniently ignores the video which exonerated Kyle.
