    Carrying a gun is “premeditated self defence”? Are people only supposed to carry guns where it is safe? What is the purpose of that?

    So many people pushing this ridiculous idea he is guilty for not staying at home, quaking in his boots. Right to self defense and to bear arms literally exist so that people don’t have to fear walking outside because of asshat violent criminals and rioters.

    And even more ridiculous saying the police and prosecutors didn’t care. What do you mean? They went after him with everything they had. It was a jury of his peers that told them to f off with that shit.

    But I guess lemmy only likes juries if they nullify actual murderers they like, not when they let go an innocent person they don’t like. (I don’t like Rittenhouse either, but that does not make him a murderer.)

      Everything they had? He’s still alive. That’s more than most shooters get.

      I remember when I was a freshman in high school, I worked at a McDonald’s. For whatever reason, I owned a Burger King t shirt. As a 14 year old, I thought it would be funny to wear the Burger King shirt to work. I figured it would annoy my boss and might get a few reactions out of other people. It didn’t work, but there were no real consequences because of it.

      You really can’t see how Rittenhouse did a similar thing? He went to a protest knowing he was diametrically opposite, politically, to people actually protesting and he did it with a big ass gun. Like my Burger King t shirt, this was very clearly sending a message of “I am your enemy.” And the message wasn’t on a harmless shirt, it was on a deadly big ass gun.

      You really truly believe he had no intention of killing? Are you dumb?

          Rittenhouse was not a cop, he was a douchebag little shit stirrer with a murder fantasy, and he got exactly what he wanted — a fun murder spree killing liberals with no consequences.

          I’m not going to coordinate an effort to lynch the piece of shit, but spreading bullshit about how “he’s not a murderer,” like what you’re doing, is disingenuous at best. Kindly, shut the fuck up

            He killed two violent assholes who not only thought attacking people on the streets for their opinions is acceptable, but were dumb enough to attack and keep attacking someone with a gun in his hands. I give zero shits about if he wanted to do it.

            It was not murder, since murder means killing illegally, which this was not. Not even if he was hoping they would attack him and went there for that purpose.

              You could have picked from so many different reasons to why this was not murder, but this one takes the cake.

              I have another one!

              Murder is a crime, and Criminals are in Jail.

              Since he is not, it could not have been murder! CHECKMATE LIBERALS /s
