National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

Wonder if he was trying to throw the gun vs drawing down?
It's a hard tell at this point, but compared to the other recent cases this is definitely the best example so far of both an armed and potentially serious threat to an officer and an appropriate and measured response (one solid shot) to that threat level.
 
So Vice and Michael Reinoehl's Lawyers (did he have any?) thought it was totes cool to have him go on Vice and give his "story". But he straight up confessed to a killing.


A few days after recording, he was located in Washington and killed in an officer involved shooting as the Federal Task Force attempted to apprehend him under a warrant.

Suicide by cop.
 
What I find hilarious and sad is that Rittenhouse is portrayed on twitter, horrible place to be but I have to use it for work, as a White Supremacist. (There are many defenders, but the vast majority of accounts you run into are liberal in my experience)

But this guy, who literally walked up to a Trump Supporter and popped him gets portrayed as a hero by the same people.

And for me there is a drastic difference, Rittenhouse did cross state lines, but he just went home only a 25 minute drive, and then turned himself in the next day. This guy? He literally was on the run and then attempted to get in a shootout.
 
When people say he crossed state lines it makes it sound as though he hopped in a boat to conduct an amphibious assault into Venezuela. Can you imagine how many people would cross state lines into DC everyday if it became a state?


For me the crossing state lines thing is a complete misnomer for Rittenhouse because he literally crossed state lines daily working as a lifeguard (per his attorney). This guy? Well they found him in Olympia, which on a good day is a two hour drive. Now two hours is also meaningless because we all know those guys who live in another state and drive into Ft Benning, Bliss, Campbell, etc.

You look at it from the lens that he has daily placement and access there. I look at it like he's American and this is America and it's his god damn right. I'm not saying the laws shouldn't apply to him, but they're coming at it like he's an invader. Let's go after illegal immigrants for crossing state lines, bet the narrative changes.
 
Is there some kind of criminal enhancement for "crossing state lines" when you murder someone? To me it doesn't matter if someone lived next door or across the country, murder is still murder.

It does get referenced as a matter of intent. Especially when you're actually fleeing the scene and get caught in another state in the act of being "on the run."
 
Has anyone (not here) addressed why a 17 YO had an AR given to him by someone in WI? Cross a state border to do this...eh, okay I guess if that's legal. Armed as a 17 YO? Is that legal ini WI? Giving a weapon to a minor? Is that legal in WI? It wasn't like he was hunting under the supervision of an adult, he was on guard duty.

Don't get me wrong, as I've stated before once that clown tried to take the weapon away it was a clean shoot. It just shouldn't have happened, not to a 17 YO.

His "friend" was also under age. The story about his "online older friend" was false. So I'm not really questioning that as much as wondering why his "friend" and his "friend's parents" haven't copped any gun charges at the moment.
 
"Arson isn't violence, because people have insurance."

Riot-Ravaged Minneapolis Businesses Can't Rebuild Because the Insurance Won't Cover It
link

Ever since a multiracial group of Minneapolis cops kneeled on George Floyd’s neck as he died three months ago, there have been riots in American cities every single night. At first our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the media just gaslighted us about it. They looked right into their cameras and told us it wasn’t happening. It’s not actual violence, y’know, the bad kind of violence. It’s “mostly peaceful protest.”

“A-ha,” exclaims the liberal in good standing. “Allow me to retort. Maybe you rednecks have never heard of a little thing called… insurance??? It’s just property. It’s just stuff. It can be replaced. George Floyd’s life can’t!”
 
I've heard that line a few times in the last few weeks. Totally makes burning a building down legit...

U.S. Marshall is looking like the coolest job out there these days. Not currently hiring on usajobs though.
