    There were strict conditions in the agreement to be met and they were not, Biden had NO obligation to pull any troops out it was HIS decision alone as to doing, when to do it and how to do it.

    Why should you have to turn your back and flee someone trying to kill you instead of defending yourself?

    Obviously no jury is the SAME, but aren't you saying that there's no possible way that a different jury could have come to the SAME VERDICT?

    No, but accuracy is always good I think. But you're right - Taliban, ISIS, ISIS-K - they're all human waste terrorists.

    I said that duty to retreat certainly didn't SEEM to be a major aspect of the trail. But I was led to believe that it DID come up. Are you under the impression that it came up?

    I know that, but why did you mention it? Why is it relevant?

    Did someone say you should?

    Why does everything have to be repeated to you? It was a big factor in persuading the jury that he was a scared child who felt his life was in danger. The whole defense was 100% founded on proving that argument, and it worked.

    I'll repeat: It would have been an irrelevant argument.

    LOL, rounding up aborigines and putting them in camps is so voluntary there is now a manhunt for some that escaped.

    What would be interesting to know is how the jury deliberated, what each jurors vote was when first entering the deliberations, and how things unfolded over the days.

    No it wouldn't. All that matters is that they came to the right decision.

    I think we as potential future jurors could learn something on how they arrived at the right decision. It is never going to happen. I get that. Rarely are any jurors experts in law. In this case, they arrived at the right verdicts, but you never know with 12 different jurors.

    Juries are made up of citizens that hear the facts and make a decision. My it ever be so.

    I'll ask again: Did someone say you should have to run away? I know I didn't say it, so you must be referring to someone else, which makes me wonder why you are asking me.

    We have "Stand Your Ground" law in my State, and I am not complaining about it.

    Do you fund SYG immoral? Unfair maybe?

    There is a discussion of SYG in this thread of which you are a part, if you don't want to participate then don't, you made a statement about SYG being repealed in many states. I asked the rhetorical question.

    Oh well..................

    Actually I said the opposite. I said the duty to retreat is being replaced by SYG in many States. I don't think SYG has been repealed anywhere.

    Rhetorical? Ok. Got it.

    Okay, so you're saying that a different jury could have come to the same verdict Great!

    Maybe, Maybe not.What I'm saying here that not all juries would have come with same verdict. That's what I'm trying to say here. I don't know where you come up with such nonsense but that's what I'm saying.

    Again its not irrelevant, in fact the whole case of the prosecution was based on him not being able to claim self defense due to provocation. (which you regain if you retreat) The prosecution didnt press the retreat angle because they knew they had nothing when Kyle said he was blocked in by a huge crowd. He tried to run away and could no longer run when he got bottle necked in by the huge crowd blocking him, thats why the prosecution didnt argue it.. they knew they where wrong

    The video clearly shows he was not blocked by any crowd, or anything else, but it would have been irrelevant because the video also shows he had already retreated. There is no legal requirement to keep running indefinitely. He had fulfilled the 'duty to retreat' requirement. I never thought that was going to be his challenge in the court.

    yes the video shows that he retreated but the only argument that the prosecution could make was "he stopped retreating" the prosecution could of made the argument that he should of kept running and not turned around, the problem was that Kyle said the reason for him giving up running was because of the large crowd blocking his escape, so the large crowd was the reason for him to give up running, so that ruins the prosecutions (already absurd) case.

    again the fact of the matter here was there was a large crowd blocking his escape and thats why the prosecution didnt pursue it

    He promised to evacuate out of Afghanistan before a set date. And that date was fist May 2021 by Trump. Biden made it September or something giving people 4 MONTHS to get out. And so Biden arranged way more time to get everybody out that should be needed. It's eventually people's own responsibility to get a flight.
