    How hard is it that you are responding to specifically black people supposedly doing the looting and burning things down for the sake of equal rights... which simply is a racist stereotype? The post has even been removed.

    Your reply doesn't make any sense at all.
    You are responding to a discussion of Rittenhouse got out scott free or not. And since he got acquitted and doesn't have any kind of bruise even, means he did get out scott free.

    When I said that about race, I did not single out a race, I was just alluding to the fact that your side promotes racial division and uses it as an excuse to burn and loot. I prefer, like the majority of Americans, to remain "color blind"!

    It's hard to tell when you're projecting your own prejudices on to others. A little introspection is in order.

    Did you not quote the entire post? No mention of a specific race doing the looting in your quote. Just that race was offered as an excuse to behave that way. I assume that means racial social issues not some declaration about genetics of looters.

    Which is more reasonable do you think?

    87 days in jail. Huge mental and financial burden. Defamation all over the place.

    Unscathed you think?

    All I'm saying is he's a dickhead. And celebrating his dickheadery is also dickheaded.

    Seems to be triggering the Right...

    Now all you need to do is prove that prove that the Communist who got shot did not point his gun at him shortly before the picture was taken.

    Good luck with that the prosecution couldn't manage it and neither can you


    It's very obvious who did not follow the case....

    That would be you if you need me to State the obvious


    You can see it already shot the 1 idiot, that must be when the Communist idiot pointed his gun at him and got what was coming

    It's more than a name. It encapsulates an active state of being.

    Simplified inputs produce error ridden outputs.

    You're currently demonstrating the behavior of someone trying to avoid cognitive dissonance. It's the same type of behavior that framed Kyle as a Boogaloo boy in the eyes of Gaige. Neither frame, yours or Gaige's is demonstrably true, but it exists in your mind to support a narrative you created before hand.

    Kyle's behavior demonstrated a desire to help people. He cleaned graffiti. He volunteered to help a minority business owner. He administered first aid to demonstrators. He attempted to deescalate conflict rather than hurl insults.

    Is your narrative so important that you would accept someone summing you up that way, along a single dimension and devoid of context?

    All while shouldering a semi-automatic (minor detail). That's the stupid part. Appreciate the thoughtfulness of your anecdotes but the kid's a moron.

    Also you have a weird way of twisting what I'm saying into something else. Yeah, good luck with that.

    Which was completely legal to do. What the de facto felonious assaulters did was not.

    Just because it is legal to do something doesn't mean it's not f**** stupid.

    That comment is legal...

    Entering a hostile situation with the intent to help without an effective ability to defend yourself seems pretty stupid to me. Especially in a situation when law enforcement was not expected to provide effective policing.

    I wonder how you would have faired against the mentally unstable rapist backed by an angry mob while trying to put out fires in the middle of a riot without an arm.

    Yes, but why go into that hostile situation where law enforcement is not expected to help in the first place? We've seen what trying to help ended up becoming. Two people are dead and a flip of the coin and he could have been in prison for a long time.

    Some people call this noble, but I call it stupid.


    Despite being over twice Kyle's age I've been able to avoid these situations. Amazing isn't it?

    Good stuff, Mm.

    The ultimate irony of course, is that b/c of his acquittal (and his compliance in being an obedient mascot for the Newsmax/OAN/Trump/Alex Jones Crowd) he is (basically) set for life.

    Being a Carnival Freak to be put on exhibition has it's perks...

    How long before he is dating Hope Hicks?
    Oh! What a Country!

    Judging by your pureile name calling, it's not the right that's triggered.

    You simply hate the kid because he represents rights that you don't have.

    Talk about triggered.

    Because law enforcement was not expected to help. It was his home town. His friends high school that was spray painted. His neighborhood being burned down. Maybe you wouldn't care enough about your community, but that doesn't make it stupid for someone else to..

    Wow, talk about laying it on thick...

    I repeat, a 17-year old walking around with an assault rifle at night at a riot is STUPID/DICKHEADED.

    I think if you want to see the dividing line in the US, it's between people who think what Rittenhouse did was cool and people who think it was stupid.

    And that's what makes people incapable of understanding complex systems. You can't build a functional model without all the data that influences the model, and you can't quantify and organize all the data.

    Do the people looting and rioting fit into your binary somewhere? Are they both in the same category? Are the only "cool" people the ones hiding behind the police barricades watching their businesses burn down?
