Locked because I keep getting reports from people arguing. Cool off.
They’re bringing a guy famous for shooting people at a left wing protest to fucking Kent State‽
Lmao, got my free ticket. Kyle is not the 2A spokesmen any sane human wants.
You gave up your phone number? I tried but you need to confirm via text and I don't want those Fuchs giving my number or to all their buddies...
One of my friends suggested this the other day: Print out posters of him crying in court, and put them in the seats of all the tickets you reserve.
A solid suggestion if you ask me.
signed up to attend as a student with the name of one of the Kent State Massacre victims.
Im pro 2a and I think this fucker is scum.
All of those "armed citizens" fantasize about killing and are just itching to shoot someone. I've seen the videos and I agree with the verdict. It was very much self defense, however, he shouldn't have been there to antagonise an angry protest.
I don't think shooting a guy in the back because he's falling down counts as self defense. I also don't think continuing your killing spree counts when the other people are rightly concerned there's a murderer running around.
Yeah I'm not justifying him and his actions. Whether it was self defense or not he's proud of himself for ending lives. Guy deserves much worse than he got.
I mean... it's probably pointless to point out how tone deaf it is to have a panicked shooter speak at Kent State of all fucking places.
Sensible people's disgust is the point, correct?
the right try not to put every murderer they happen to agree with on a pedastal challenge
What the fuck does he have to talk about? He's just an idiot with a gun.
It's Kent State which is world famous for idiots with guns.
Can’t Read, Can’t Write, Kent State
He has a story about getting away with murder. Sociopaths gonna sociopath
Big "Eh" there. Rittenhouse is no Zimmerman, but the media attention has pretty much ended any chance of a "normal" life for him. He'll probably make a run for public office in a few years.
He murdered two people, flashed his Republican card, and walked. I'm not saying I admire it, I loathe it/him. I'm just saying a lot of these psychos would love to do what he did and they think he's a hero, as pathetic as that is.
Murder is the wrong word here. Maybe manslaughter at worst. He's was a teenager that put himself in the wrong place sure, but after being chased by armed assailants, tripping and falling, yelling for them to back up while one person pointed a fucking gun at him while he was laying on the ground, and then firing after they continued to advance on him... Definitely not murder at that point. Not to mention he then immediately went to the police to turn himself in. He tried to de-escalate, he tried to escape, and he immediately turned himself in to law enforcement after the shooting. Other than electing to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time, he did everything that any reasonable person would do in that situation to defend themselves.
I'm not saying he's a hero, I'm not saying he was right to be there "defending" property that no one asked him to defend. I'm not saying he did the right thing by showing up to a protest armed with a lethal weapon. I think he a fucking dumbass military cosplayer with a main-character personality complex and a wisdom dump stat, but I don't think he's a murderer.
I think it's murder when you take a gun to a place specifically to oppose a group you hate, then you kill multiple of those said people that you knew before leaving home that you hated.
But I'm just weird like that
I guess Ukrainians are murdering Russians right now?
Seems about right, but your definition is very broad, and definitely would not hold up in a court of law.
How delusional do you need to be to make this correlation? Did Ukraine drive across country lines to participate in another countries conflict?
He traveled across state lines with a rifle with intention to shoot someone
The irony of this being at Kent State is too much.
