do you think the fella aiming his pistol at rittenhouse should have been allowed to shoot him in the face before rittenhouse protected himself?
Grosskreutz at first aimed his pistol at Rittenhouse because Rittenhouse had already murdered somebody and Grosskreutz felt he was an active shooter. Grosskreutz had his hands in the air, defenseless, his gun NOT aimed at Rittenhouse (as the trial video evidence plainly showed) when Rittenhouse shot him. As for the skateboard incident, in my opinion Rittenhouse had relinquished any appeal to "self defense" because he had already murdered somebody over a plastic bag, and the man hitting him with the skateboard knew it and was trying to take him out. It was RITTENHOUSE who started all the bloodshed, so his "self defense" court defense holds no weight with me. GUILTY OF TWO COUNTS OF MURDER is how I'd vote on the jury. You really don't have to worry about that, though, because if Rittenhouse's parents had taken as much care of him as this biased trumpian judge has during this trial Rittenhouse would never have turned out a sociopath in the first place.
Dude, that is one of the most ignorant posts I have ever read. I have been a member of Mensa since 1978. I know 100's of fellow Mensan's who live in the southern, red states. You remind me of @red55. He loved just picking the unpopular side of an argument and arguing it for fun. Most people here always thought he was a screaming liberal. People that he worked with thought he was a huge right winger. He just enjoyed screwing with people. You must be him incarnate, right? No one can be this jaded for real, right? Welcome home, Red!
Not that I believe you, but you and your friends would be outnumbered, of course. I notice you didn't rebut my red state/blue state statement. It's a fact: the blue states are mostly givers and the red states are mostly takers.
Based on what? I feel like Rork in Yellowstone. "I can say that as many times as you can. Get it out of your system." It's a fact: the blue states are mostly takers and the red states are mostly givers. ...and IDGAF if you don't believe me. I learned a long time ago not to worry about what others think of me.
mensa is for clowns with too much to prove. i see so when grosskreutz aimed at his face he should have simply waited for the bullet to the face? seems pretty smart he blew his arm to bits and saved himself. also, when the psycho child rapist who said he would kill him was chasing him, the proper move was to give that psycho child rapist the gun and be killed? yunno psycho child rapists who were just released from psych wards for the criminally insane, these folks are not known for their ability to calmly reason out their disagreements.
Rittenhouse knew nothing about Rosenbaum when Rittenhouse murdered him, so your "child rapist" angle is just desperation. And, no, you don't murder a man over a plastic bag. And, no, you don't shoot a second defenseless man whose arms are raised in surrender, even if he had understandably pointed his pistol at you previously because he knew you had killed a man. As the combat veteran says: If you arrive armed (illegally at that, and in violation of curfew) to a place where violence is happening, prepared for violence, and you engage in violence, there is no self defense, you are in fact a willing participant. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FD7WO2NWUAIa0Zn?format=jpg&name=900x900
