I think it’s the pundits, the chatterers, the political class that’s shocked by this. The rest of us white people knew damn well either because we are Trump supporters or we know them. Even those of us that hate the motherfucker know what our crazy ass cousins and redneck uncles and high school buddies that went off…

I’m a white Canadian and that was my first thought too. It brought to mind when a single person attacked our Parliament building back in 2014 and was put down pretty quickly:

Pretty soon, in geologic time, our climate changing emissions will be down to zero.

Unless the global industries change, there’s nothing we can do. “We” are not the problem, we are not the source of most of the inaction. Nor most of the pollution, for that matter. 

“If he was merely carrying a gun and was attacked”

Opinion Piece. Not an article. And as others pointed out it was behind a paywall. The editorial board of the WSJ had people leave because they were not permitted to allow publications of editorials critical of Trump.(Mark Lasswell) I will not trust an opinion piece from that same board.

He crossed state lines with an illegal weapon to shoot Black people and arranged a situation where he could do so. Life in Federal prison with parole available in fifty years is the minimum he should receive. I’ve already got my bingo card at the ready for how the same people who will happily justify the police…

The video you are talking about shows Rittenhouse being chased because he had already shot and killed a protester. People didn’t just start randomly chasing down some guy openly carrying a firearm, they were trying to disarm someone who had already shot and killed someone.

He was “defending himself” after people started coming after him because he had just shot somebody. The skateboard guy was hitting him with his board because, again, he had already been shooting at people.

When you get hit with a skateboard, you get a bruise. When you get shot with a gun in your center mass, you’re most likely going to die. According to you, killing someone is totally justifiable to prevent getting bruised.

Reading the NYT it sounds like he fired at a crowd that was chasing him, one of whom may have had a handgun.

Ok so first, I got a paywall so could not read the article.

When a black man is accused of sexual assault, he gets executed by multiple state-funded assassins in broad daylight in front of his entire family and community.

No one is going to install this shit in their house. No one I know wants to watch a new release movie THAT bad.

I’m imagining a family of four, with dad sitting on a recliner watching normally, mom and two kids covered in ghillie suits made of fabric that matches the couch upholstery.

I’m afraid you are being a little too optimistic here. In the US of A, a Black person may also be executed for eating ice cream in their own living room. Or sleeping in their own bed.

Why doesn’t the media ever play the full length and sound of each of the 7 gunshots?

What that creature is saying is what they have always said:

If these pieces of shit try to jail a paralyzed man, shit will fucking burn.

“accused multiple times of sexual assault, at least once against children. That accusation, if true, would make him a child molester.”
