"normal" people don't bring firearms to a protest rally

That's not what y'all were saying about Rittenhouse.

[–] thagoat@lemmy.ml 247 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Kyle Rittenhouse took an assault rifle to a state he didn't live in and shot 3 people, killing 2. He was acquitted on all counts. The is no way to measure the hypocrisy. It's simply mind boggling.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 75 points 3 days ago (30 children)

He was charged with (effectively) taking a sawn-off shotgun across state lines, which he didn't do as it was a full-size rifle, and second degree murder, which requires homicide while committing another crime, but the other charge fell through, so there was no other crime. He probably would have been found guilty of something if he'd been charged with crimes he did rather than ones he didn't, but the prosecutor fucked up, whether by incompetence or because they wanted to ensure he got off after nominally going through a trial so justice could be claimed to have been done.

It's not hypocrisy. The right killing the left is always justified in their mind, they have never claimed otherwise. It's quite consistent really.

The reality is they're too illiterate to properly explain themselves and their cult leaders aren't offering the words for it on this one.

Idk the authenticity of that but "he dressed up at a party once so the state should be able to murder him" is a pretty pathological take

He has sleeve tatoos in the drag version. Take that as you will.

Real estate agents are largely an unproductive group of parasites. They are also professional shit take machines.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It's so far worse than just your typical parasites, they're largely attributed to the entire housing crisis in west. Even in my small country, I noticed many people no longer wanted to work, make businesses, etc., they went to some rich country to work for some time, came back to buy apartments and rent them out, but the problem is that they're all pushing for higher rent prices than what is acceptable, and since they all do it, then people are essentially left with no choice and you see your rent proces doubling, tripling in the span of a 10 years.

What's ironic is that these people commonly speak out against capitalism and favor socialism

It gets even worse when they put these apartments on temporary rentals (Airbnb), so most of them stay empty for majority of time

Basically, the lowest rung on a career ladder if you fuck up everything.

I'm doomscrolling his linkedin page and it's non-stop idiotic garbage. I stopped at the GDP chart explaining why Alberta shouldn't be "trapped" in Canada.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I did the same. Everything about him screams "My ex and my shitty kid doesn't speak to me"

About the not bringing a gun to a protest, it reminds of the way they would say "did you see what she was wearing" about a rape victim.

Doesn't America not have a culture of carrying firearms with you, especially to protests? Also imagine the media using a picture of you at a drunken party or something if you tragically died.

I dressed up as Marilyn Monroe one Halloween as a teen. The costume had the most ridiculous padding on the butt and chest, it was clearly a silly costume and not any sort of statement. The amount of vitriol I faced was eye opening for me. I’m honestly glad I did it because it showed me how people treat those that make them feel uncomfortable. I thought, “if this is how they treat me on Halloween I can’t imagine what other people go through every day” and this was well before trans people were made the boogeyman of the week.

Guess I deserve to die now? Eat a fuckin dick, Bob.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, I avoided coming out for years because I didn’t think I could handle cishet people looking at me and laughing, or their insults. It’s still difficult.

They just want to kill queer people. No words can describe the absolute and undying hatred I feel for these people

[–] ibelieveinthehousehippo@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, I don't think it's limited to queer people. It seems like they're just itching for whatever flimsy excuse to shoot someone. If it's someone they hate, that just makes it feel extra righteous.

[–] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If left alone for long enough, they would start killing each other. And I'm being completely serious.

Literally not even the same person. The guy on the right has neck tattoos, also he's got tattoos on his arms and pretti didn't.

Their face is also completely different. They don't even look similar, like at all.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Ahhh yes, the middle man that jacks up the price has thoughts.

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 32 points 3 days ago

I wonder what this guy thinks about Kyle Rittenhouse.

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 50 points 3 days ago

normal people don't bring weapons to protest rally

So i should expect this loony to have a post denouncing the jan 6 insurrection, right? https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/17/politics/capitol-insurrection-weapons-ron-johnson/index.html

Regardless, unhinged post and literally not even the same guy.

As a general rule of thumb, real estate agents are terrible people.

Yeah that's obviously not the same person, his family should sue this dude.

If he's even real

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

Who. Cares.

Whatever he liked to wear in his free time doesn't justify executing him.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Well, when you put it like that, that definitely justifies a public execution in broad daylight. It would have been morally corrupt to not shoot him ten+ times in the back while he was face down on the ground, something like that takes real courage.

Oh well when you put it that way then I guess executing someone in the street makes perfect sense actually. /s

[–] DatzIT@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I think the guy on the right is supposed to be Kyle Wagner. Which I think is a weak psyop being ran on YouTube. Initially saw it on an account named intelwar777.

"you don't bring a gun to a peaceful protest, just saying"

Is literally the line they're being fed to repeat. I keep seeing it everywhere.

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 28 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Is the argument really "if he wanted to live he wouldn't have brought a firearm". Sounds like "if she didn't want to get raped she should dress properly"

I don't use LinkedIn besides to update my profile.

Did LinkedIn become a shithole? Because WTF is this shit?
