so it appears you have again shifted your argument...this time from your insinuation that i was using the miniskirt argument as it related to the shooter to now he didn't do a good job of intimidating people because he had to shoot them...with a little factually inaccurate predicate that he had "done nothing illegal up to that point."

I mean I even said I shifted. Yeah, wouldn't you be scared when a man who earlier "Shoot me Nigga!" comes after you knowing full well that you could shoot him.

Assuming it is the same guy (appears to be, but I haven't seen confirmation of it), it looked like he was 18 (offense was in early 2002, so it makes him 18 since he was 36 when he died) and the girl was 15+ (15, 16 or 17). We don't know her full age that I know of. Appears for the all the world to be criminalization of a high school sexual encounter based on a statutory rape law.

yeah, daily caller is trash. however, i kind of believe their version of events. 

this is where i came down earlier in the thread, and it's a similar view to what went down here in austin. the shooter might have felt the right to self-defense. but had he not brought a gun to a chaotic situation, no matter his motivations (he thought he was there to be a law and order influence), people are still alive. the very presence of him there with a gun, around other people with guns, actually does more to inflame people than it does to cow them. and, as the person with the gun, you got to make sure you have control of where you are aiming it. that's where the chaotic part of the situation comes in, and is also why you shouldn't bring a gun to a protest. someone feels that you threatened them because your barrel points in their direction, and shit can go sideways fucking quick. you may be rushing to put out a tire fire, but if you've ever had a gun pointed at you, you know it changes your perspective. when i was in high school, i was at a friend's house, and he pulled out his father's gun and pointed it at me as a joke. it was not remotely funny, that shit is scary. and that was among friends, not amongst strangers in an emotionally charged situation. this dude is brandishing a gun; it's not strapped to his back or over his shoulder. his trigger discipline looks strong, but when the sun goes down, that becomes less evident. it's a sad situation all around.

but in the end, had he not followed some call up for a fake militia, drove to kenosha, either brought a gun or procured one from a friend, and inserted himself into a situation, his life is not in turmoil, and people are still alive. you can value-judge the all the characters in this drama, but the gun is the key. had he done all the things, except the gun, there is an entirely different outcome here. 

This.

If you are purposefully putting yourself in a position where you dramatically increase the chances of 1) you getting beaten/shot by someone else (a losing proposition), or 2) you shoot and kill someone else (also a losing proposition), you should probably re-think your decision.

And you can absolutely create such a position where you or the other person is acting legally -- that is, no violation of criminal law or a valid defense to a criminal charge.  But there's a metric shit ton of stuff that's legal.....but really, really, really fucking stupid, and really, really, really fucking wrong.

I think that people who strap on an AR and head to a tense situation because they want a chance to be a hero, maybe by taking out some bad guys, have done something really, really wrong.  Just like I think that anyone who heads to a tense area with the intent of being ready so, if provoked by something the cops do, he can "fight back" is really, really wrong.

Even if you don't read that as seriously as I do, we should all be in agreement that someone who does those things isn't a hero.  But....we're not.  He's a great American Patriot, who should have a statue erected and be memorialized like the brave patriots at Lexington and Concord.

Literally impossible. If he was 36 in August of 2020, which according to all reports he was, then he has to be 18 (or less, but I presume there wouldn't have been a criminal charge if he was under 18) in March of 2002. The other option is that the convicted sex offender isn't the same Joseph Rosenbaum.

I've always thought of ethnic groups as behaviors rather than genetic tests.  And it can't be superficial behavior, eg wrapping yourself in a checked tablecloth and listening to bagpipes doesn't make you Scottish, and slobbering over a waitress' titties at Oktoberfest doesn't make you German. On the other hand, inviting your neighbors to dinner and then slashing their throats, yo, that's VERY Scottish, and becoming a performance artist and slicing off your own nipples while screaming "Mutti, Muuuutti,", well I won't deny then that you're German.

Same with Hispanic. You gotta earn that title. In Laredo they know what's up. In Austin, they tend to mail it in, just like the Czechs they think they're something because their grandaddy was that thing. Hell, my grandaddy was an electrician, want me to rewire your house? I am sure there are some super-duper Hispanics in Austin, but my scientific survey (follow a multi-generational family through Walmart, see what Gramama speaks, see if daughter or grandaughter answer in the same language) indicates that within a generation, Austin Hispanics will all be learning Norwegian while eating mayonnaise in the park, in Duluth.

And you white motherfuckers in Austin, damn y'all some shrill kind of white too.

Yep

It's been my argument forever. The fear mongering surrounding whites losing their majority status is self-destructive, unnecessary, and ultimately will be much to do about nothing. Hispanics will eventually see the same immersion into becoming "culturally white" as the Irish, Jews, Italians, and eastern Europeans before them. In states like Texas we've already seen this happen to some extent. If it weren't for the recent turn towards becoming aggressively nativist by politicians of a certain stripe we'd be much further along on this evolution.

The YMCA he was furloughed from back in March is in Lindhurst, Ill. The reports of him working the day of are false. He was cleaning the walls of a school earlier in the day. Unless it was believed he had time to drive there, clean graffiti, work as a lifeguard, then still be shooting people at a protest at night.

The fact that his lawyer is pushing such an insane point-of-view automatically makes me think he is on shaky legal ground.

Put aside that he was not legally allowed to be carrying, and was not legally allowed to be out at that time, and was not even in his own state.

His lawyer is out there bleating to the media and public that his actions put him on part with British colonial rebels in the 1770s.

But it's 2020.  So of course somebody in this situation has a lawyer saying they are starting another revolution.  Even though the side he opposes also thinks they are starting a revolution.

If Joe Exotic ran for President this year, he'd pull in millions of votes.

He's on shaky legal ground on the carrying a firearm count, for sure.  So shaky, in fact, that it has fallen away beneath him.  The only attack, and it's a flimsy one, is a Second Amendment attack.

The rest of it, not so much.

Quote

The high-profile attorney for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old charged with fatally shooting two people in Kenosha, said he was locked out of his Twitter account Tuesday after posting about raising money for Rittenhouse's legal defense.

L. Lin Wood argued the action against his account is the latest example of Twitter censorship of conservative voices and he intends to file a lawsuit against the social media giant and its CEO Jack Dorsey.

Quote

"I'm going to take Jack Dorsey's ass down," Wood told Fox News. "He has been abusing the First Amendment of this country for his own agenda."

Am I missing something here:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Same appears true for skateboard guy.  This guy is the most equivocal.

The "protest medic" was armed and so was in pari delicto with Rittenhouse.  Maybe a lib, maybe BLM, but as guilty of the initial bad judgment of bringing a firearm to an event where it was likely to be misused.

I get that Rittenhouse has some alignments with the right/Trump, but I really think his bad judgment and actions in this stems more from a personal pathology than politics.  And I mean a personal pathology other than Trumpism.

This whole thing is a result of people behaving badly, not really politics.  In my opinion, based on what I've looked at.

No.  There is a kind of cracked theory out there that by using a regulated medium such as the internet, there's enough "state action" in Twatter and other social media (a government-created public forum) to be covered by the First Amendment.  Key word there is "cracked."

I've lost all respect for Lin Wood.  He's a nutbag on the order of Larry Klayman.  I thought his work on behalf of RIchard Jewell was admirable, but every blind squirrel finds a nut, I guess.

  Medic guy is the most interesting. There is a video just after Rittenhouse takes off running that is from Medic guy streaming. He is running kind of next to but slightly behind him and asking him what happened, and if he just shot someone. Rittenhouse says something back and that's when they all start yelling to get him. If he was just looking to shoot Rittenhouse he had every opportunity to do so.
