Which only makes sense. He didn’t know what he’s doing. He has no law enforcement or military training. Just showing up with a gun to a riot is it making anything better.
And you applaud him shooting three people? I don’t have much respect for those folks either, but I’m not understanding how their deaths made anything better.

Re: Rittenhouse trial
Just to be clear, I applauded Rittenhouse for his efforts to help protect private property that was left to the rioters by the folks who should have been doing the protecting.
And I’m thrilled, gleeful if you will, he was acquitted.

It's very simple: If Rittenhouse hadn't brought an AR-15 no one would be dead.

Re: Rittenhouse trial
Where I lose the trail a little is that we have been lead to believe that he has been busy on the front lines of the Covid fight in a variety of hospitals from the inner city to rural areas.

Even in Texas you can’t claim self defense if you initiate the pursuit. So wrong again.

Re: Rittenhouse trial
All you can say based on the verdict is that the prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it didn’t happen the way he claimed. That’s a long way from proving that he’s right, as O.J. learned at his civil trial. —Bob

Re: Rittenhouse trial
So let me see if I got this right:
I can carry an AK-47 to a protest and when people start attacking me because I have one, I can shoot them in self-defense? If so, I'm going to go to a MAGA rally.

Re: Rittenhouse trial
Sounds like an actual threat, but fortunately for you, and more fortunately for the rest of the world, you can not carry an AK-47 to a protest. You can not carry an AK-47 to the gun range, unless you have a special permit, which I doubt you have.

"Interesting" that you seem to imply that I am making up where I work, or what I do.
The need to think everyone who is disagreeing with you is just making things up... well it's psychiatrically interesting, let's put it that way. Let's avoid a formal diagnosis since that's not my job and that seems to particularly get under your skin.
More Covid deaths this year than last, by the way. Good job, team.

If you think I am wrong, say so, and then explain so.
It's interesting how you and your buddies keep going back to "oh he must be awful at his profession" instead of offering arguments.
I realize that my job probably does make your uncomfortable - since I have the actual knowledge and experience to call you and others on their garbage arguments - but, please, don't question my ability to practice my profession based on Internet arguments.
Thanks.
