Alright, so, someone smarter than me (it's a low bar I promise), does this set any sort of precedent? Or am I wrong in how that works? One of my takeaways is that Grosskreutz (bicep guy) thought Rittenhouse was an active shooter. In a way he was, at this point he had already fired shots and (I believe?) killed two people. There was also cell phone video of him pointing his gun at people which should absolutely be taken as a threat. Can then Grosskreutz be brought up on charges of assault? Will this affect something like mass shootings? Like just point your guns at people until someone tries to stop you and now you're legally in self-defense mode? This whole thing is just stupid. Either way I know one thing: edit: A most shameful snipe. Have a picture of my friends old rear end cat. Wrong Theory fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Nov 19, 2021 |

The lesson seems to be to fire on anyone open carrying an unslung rifle on sight.

When people say poo poo like this it is a direct window into why the Criminal Justice system is completely broken and likely won't get fixed in our lifetime. Americans are loving stupid as poo poo.

We do not have a criminal justice system as there is no justice. We have a criminal legal system.

facialimpediment posted:The bonus is that per the law, said shooter (the 3rd victim) would be fully justified in killing Rittenhouse at the time. So Rittenhouse would've been justified in killing him at the same time he would've been justified in killing Rittenhouse. Self-defense laws break down into circles made of idiocy when a critical mass of guns in a situation is met. Except the third victim was protesting against state violence and Rittenhouse was acting as a paramilitary for the state, so he was not fully justified and would have warranted summary execution by the fascist state militia.

shame on an IGA posted:I was always taught the first rule of self defense is to be somewhere the gently caress else before poo poo pops off That's the best way to do it. Look, I'm not some right winger. I haven't voted for a republican since 2008. I hate the people that are gleeful about this, but having watched all the video, I don't think he did anything that would have made him waive his right to self defense. To me, most of the arguments in favor of convicting him seem to boil down on the theory that "he was asking for it" and I don't buy that as a valid legal theory generally. I'm sure Rittenhouse will over enjoy being popular for the first time in his life and after his 15 minutes of fame he'll probably self destruct via drugs or alcohol.

Brandishing? What's that? The "good guy with a gun" logic seriously poisons a lot of people's brains. You're not overreacting and escalating the situation, you're engaging hostiles! Really looking forward to more people going on walks and jogs with ARs slung.
