He said to his friends prior that he wished he had the gun so he could shoot people.

He admitted in his testimony that he knew he wasn't at threat from the people he shot

You yourself have posted that he aimed his gun at people twice, one set were good peaceful protestors who didn't dare threaten the right wing darling with the a weapon designed solely for slaughtering humans.

The other group did not take so kindly to his threats (that's what pointing a gun at someone is) and he shot and killed them.

He was there to provide first aid but admitted in testimony that he didn't even think to provide any first aid for the people he shot. Did he provide any that evening at all?

To be honest I think the laws are fecked up there, I think that the prosecution fecked up, I also think that the amount of coverage that was allowed in the media po n an active investigation was fecked up.

But I don't think given your posts over the last two pages you can lament him being used as a political football, because you are doing the same. It was a ruling on "self defence" laws. Not the media, the future president, the BLM protests etc, and you seem to be trying to link his mistreatment to a number of "leftwing" causes (Biden ain't left wing ffs.)

You too are using him as a political football, presentig a very biased set of "facts"

Everything about this situation is facking shiiiiiiitty, but please stop posting like he knew these people's backstories before he killed them, that's not facking normal for any situation like this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry but where have I said that he knew anything about these people?

You have insinuated he's a hero for killing as an example "a pedo" (I haven't seen any evidence, not denying it, just stating I haven't looked in to their criminal backgrounds, is this always a done thing btw? Tragic situation unfolds, we look to see how guilty the victims were?! )

Whilst failing against the fact that In a tweet ruffalo has opted to use a guys nickname rather than full name.

You realise they are character limited right?

Its a weird old world, some people properly froth at the mouth when a woman calls old Etonians sc*m and then same people hardly bat an eyelid at 2 people getting shot to death.

But but he legally defended himself. Fair enough. Somehow this isn't an acceptable reason for asylum seekers. For "some" people.

And who the fak changed the title of this thread.
LLM Lonely Lives Matter.

ahaha

You know what Insert, and I choose my words carefully and express them as eloquently as is suitable to the situation, fk off

I’ve given you plenty of opportunities and chances to act reasonably but here you are yet again spouting nonsense. Not once have I insinuated anything of the sort. I’m not wasting anymore time on you. Best wishes to your father’s situation.

From Emmet till to Rodney King to George Floyd.

First off murder is hatred but burning buildings is not hatred, its an attempt to make people pay attention when they are consistently ignorant and ignore more conventional methods of protest year after year.

No building is worth a human life. Get your priorities in order. If you don't then more buildings will burn as people can't just watch senseless killing after senseless killing. At some point things will always go extreme.

Try to focus on the murders that cause it more than the reaction. Its the logical process to solve anything and everybody knows that.

Why focus on reaction rather than causation and initial action? Because of bias.

A building is however worth a person’s livelihood.

There’s a video currently on Reddit, from 1992. The LA riots. A black man who has had his shop destroyed, by other black people. The video focuses on his reaction, his outrage, his frustration, at the looting and destruction of what he owns, has built up from nothing, at the hands of people who are angry at the very same thing he is angry at. It was (is) so upsetting to see. In order to make a point, the victims remain the same.

The actual target of such actions? Nothing happened to them. People protesting just turned on themselves. Attacked themselves. Ruined themselves.

No building is worth a human life? Then why attack any building at all?

Nice story but your deductions and conclusions are sheet. Still, the causing factor was the murders and imjustice. That poor man would still have his business were it not for that.

More focus on causation, not reaction.

Do you want protesters to pick and choose what they burn? Leave black owned businesses and burn only white owned businesses? Then inevitably be accused of being racist?

Because attacking people or killing people makes you as bad as what you're opposing.

They need to draw attention to the issue and conventional protests are clearly not working.

If people like you focused more on the murders rather than the reactions maybe we would be getting somewhere.

What do you mean, people like me?

People who focus on the actions of protesters more than the actions that cause the protests. If the former doesn't happen you won't have to worry about the latter. Its not rocket sconce.

But the former has happened. How it’s dealt with is incredibly important, and it does deserve its own focus and analysis, otherwise, what’s the point of reacting at all?

But the former has happened. How it’s dealt with is incredibly important

Exactly. If its not taken seriously enough or if people keep focusing on the latter rather than the former, then logic dictates that mayhem will swiftly ensue.

I think we’re actually in agreement on this.

You bought it up, you thought the fact the guy was a paedophile was somehow relevant to him being shot while unarmed, and in Rittenhouses own words "no danger to him"

You keep using this kid as a reason to attack Biden, or left leaning media, whilst complaining about THEM using him politically

You just carry on declaring that a clearly left leaning actor is disgusting for using a shortened name in a character limited tweet..

And you just keep on throwing hissy fits when your hypocrisy is pointed out

Ghislaine Maxwells trial starts today.
Cue her and Prince Andrews ring wing mates bleating about how hard done by she is being treated, how the victims are really to blame and its all the Clinton's/Gates/ fault

I dont think anyone actually supports her, its one of the few things everyone agrees on
