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.
@ech @turretjust @xs4me2 @flexghost I guess if by "much better" you mean, crossed state lines with a gun to cossplay as an unwanted security guard who antagonized others with words.
He sure as fuck made a very large series of mistakes that (along with others making mistakes) ended in the death of two people. He wasn't going guilty, but he certainly wasn't innocent. At best he is a shity boogaloo kid who deserves to be haunted for the rest of his lige
@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.
