Don't get news from either. Apologies for being of the understanding that it was their gate. I thought everybody had their own gate to their property....my bad

The dismal tide is cresting (and resembles a dangerous shorebreak).

Well if that's the case then no you can't aim a gun at people just walking up a street that you do not own. I had read that it was THEIR gate on THEIR property but perhaps that was incorrect reporting. Sucks that our journalists aren't very interested in reporting accurate facts. Disturbing times....

Blaming the media for the fact that your made up fact was wrong. That is some impressive mental gymnastics.

I don't know the origin of his fact or not, but a general comment.  Our media is completely failing our society. The death spirals are tightening.

But of course.

  Quote

In the minutes after a jury acquitted 18-year old Kyle Rittenhouse on all counts, jubilation lit up on social media spaces where far-right extremists gather. 

In one Telegram channel for the far-right Proud Boys, some noted they had taken the day off work to await the verdict. "There's still a chance for this country," wrote one. In another channel, a member stated that political violence must continue. "The left wont stop until their bodied get stacked up like cord wood," he wrote.

  Quote

Rittenhouse himself is not known to be a member of an extremist group. But the trial, which from its beginning became a cause and rallying cry among conservatives who champion gun rights, has been particularly alarming to extremism researchers. 

As it played out against the backdrop of an increasingly polarized nation, experts of far-right movements say opportunists found a growing audience for their violence-fueled messaging that targets the left. Now that a jury has found that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, those concerns are recentering on the question of whether it may embolden others to engage in political violence.

Only cause you are a hack. They got everyone gassed up. Keeps your eyes on the screen, your finger on the clicks, and outsource your thinking to social media.

I can confirm that the far right nut jobs I know are jubilant, especially the muh guns crowd. It’s like Jesus has been resurrected type of jubilation. 
 

Lots more death to come.

A rational country given this occurrence would take a hard look at open carry and how it relates to self defense laws. 
 

But we are no longer a rational country. As made obvious by many millions of dipshits celebrating a verdict that has no effect on them whatsoever.

While you may be right, it’s not the media’s job to save society. What’s driving this failure is decisions by the republicans starting with Reagan to absolve the right wing media from any responsibility to society whatsoever. It didn’t have to be this way.

I don't really see the open carry angle at all here.  At least in terms of generalizable conclusions or actions.  Seems like one of those largely irrelevant buzz items that people focus on cause the rhetoric.

It’s much too lengthy of a topic for the “Kyle finally won” thread, but you should read up on the history of gun laws in our state of Texas with respect to open carry, concealed carry, etc. Its pretty interesting.

Oh and the biggest shocker is there’s a lot of racism involved.

You should start that thread with a bunch of links to the primary source documents.  It would be interesting, and another step away from the meta threads based on secondary and tertiary information that this board has fallen into.

Perhaps I will. Good idea. I rarely start threads. Usually only undetected hidden troll threads.

We cannot ban open carry because of the Second Amendment, but we can cure the infirmed. 

We will do nothing and reap the whirlwind.

Just a hint younger, but I do remember those skateboard stickers.  "Skate or Die", and then it became a lame Nintendo game.  I wanted one on my cheap NASH skateboard but mom wouldn't let me.  My skateboard was a weapon in that it fucked up my left knee and elbow on more than one occasion.  They've been popping like an old man since I was a teenager.

I think you’re mistaking ought and should for is. Again, unless you are asserting that the DA was corrupt, I have to assume that he made the strongest case he was able to make based on the evidence at hand. Clearly, if there were evidence that Rittenhouse was menacing or threatening, it would have been presented absent malicious intent of the prosecution.  
 

Whatever you are I think Rittenhouse should or should not have done prior to the shooting, or what we think the law ought to be, what the law is gives an individual the right to use deadly force to protect themselves in the absence of provocation 

We need less rioting and more voting

The 2A people crack me up because by their logic the 2A gets undermined in our society all over the place but they only beef about it when their thought leaders tell them to.  We have laws against fully automatic weapons, yet there is no serious movement to legalize them.  
 

We have laws against carrying firearms on planes/airports, or in a courthouse, or a school but the 2A defenders don’t care about these infringements on their rights because deep down they really don’t give a shit, they really don’t, most of them anyway. They just love fighting for the idea that they can fend off tyranny with a good sidearm as long as the government doesn’t take it away.  Which is ridiculous, but whatever.

What's that phrase, "an armed society is a polite society?" Yeah, that's bullshit.

Anyway, I hope everyone learned some valuable common sense, don't attack a person who is obviously armed, even if they look like a giant pussy. Pretty simple stuff.
