Kyle Rittenhouse is being sued by the estate of the mentally disturbed man Rittenhouse shot four times and killed.
Rittenhouse’s response:
“These lawsuits are making it harder and harder for me to move on with my life”
The amount of cope white men feel after doing something horrible could power a city
Do you know what else makes it hard to move on with your life?
Being murdered
If you kill a man, you should not be able to move on with your life, that is the whole point...
Unbelievable...

Context matters. I don't think self-defense is the same as first or second degree murder. Is it legal to own a gun and use it for self-defense in the US? Yes. Was it self-defense against mortal injury? Yes. Do police do the same in the US? Yes. You just write and I quote "An eye for an eye...". I don't think you have the mental capacity to make a logical decision regarding this event or any loss of life event that includes someone taking a life. I do not support that person who carry automatic firearms in the middle of the road.Neither I also don't support his freedom being used for some people's political agenda.
@turretjust @xs4me2 @flexghost This wasn't self defense, at least in the traditional sense. I can't carry a gun into a local bar, claim in going to shoot anyone who comes near me and then claim self defense when I shoot them.
@Shadowfalx @turretjust @xs4me2 @flexghost He has a much better case than that. Your point maybe remains, but it wasn't nearly that bad.
@Shadowfalx @turretjust @xs4me2 @flexghost I'm uneasy about untrained armed people guarding stores, or as you say "cossplay as an unwanted security guard". Especially minors. But these riots were pretty rough; no easy answers here. From what I understand I completely support these guys, for example: https://reason.com/2020/05/29/black-civilians-arm-themselves-to-protest-racial-violence-and-protect-black-owned-businesses/
@ech @turretjust @xs4me2 @flexghost I'm fine with business owners defending their business. I'm less fine with them defending the property than them defending people who happen to be caught in the business during a protest. That goes for anyone. Property is never, not should it ever, be more important than lives. That includes the lives of people damaging property.
I have no problem with guns, I have a problem with the obsession side people have with guns. Guns should never be the first option.
