OT LeBron James said Kyle Rittenhouse should 'knock it off' after the teen cried during murder trial

When they are trying to kill you, yes, it's ok

 

Self defense is encouraged regardless of a person's criminal background.

 

If you leave your home looking for a fight thats got nothing in the world to do with you & packing an illegal gun, you're a criminal and vigilante. Why anyone wants more of that behavior is beyond me. It is not illegal to protest. It is illegal to kill. Only 1 person shot and killed people, one idiot kid. Fuck him.

STOMP

 

If there is any evidence he threatened, accosted or pointed his gun at anyone without justification, I have yet to see it.

All of his kills were self defense.

 

Bullshit and you know it. The evidence is he left his house with an illegal gun to find a fight that wasn't his. He made up fantastical scenarios to justify his presence there, which was all nonsense. A juvenile running around with an illegal AK in the street, he's threatening every single person there & unsurprisingly people felt threatened. Why in the world are you over looking the obvious to defend this dangerous vigilante moron? Is more needless shootings/death the goal?

Again, only one person shot anyone. It's this dangerous pubescent with an illegal weapon. Your hero.

STOMP

 

It's not obvious. You need actual evidence. No indications that he started any violent altercations, he just ended them after being assaulted, which was backed up by witness testimony (and that of a surviving victim), photos and videos.

Him leaving the house with the gun isn't sufficient to convict him of murder. It's a weapons violation.

He was attacked and he defended himself with appropriate force.

 

Complete bullshit and you know it... but whatever, thats your act here

STOMP

 

One guy had his gun drawn, pointed at him and advanced at him.

Another was striking him with a skateboard.

The last guy previously threatened to kill him and was chasing him and attempted to grab his gun.

 

If you weren't being the aggressor, not pointing your gun at anyone, not threatening anyone and people start attacking you, then you would have justification to defend yourself.

The simple act of bringing the gun, like I said, doesn't give people the authority to attempt to kill you.

 

by brandishing a gun in a volatile situation you are a threat. No shit.

Doing so as a pimple faced kid with an illegal AK, you're a complete fucking moron begging for trouble

STOMP

 

Yes, it's a bad decision, but it's not murder if those protestors attacked you.

If you attacked them first then yes, that would be murder.

 

So a dilution 17 year old is walking around on crowded streets with an AK... who feels comforted?

STOMP

 

The short answer: the people living under the delusion that someone like Rittenhouse would never shoot them!

 

So then he and the person who illegally purchased the weapon and the person who helped him carry it across state lines (as was claimed earlier) should get felonies and be prohibited from buying firearms ever again.

That doesn't make them murderers. Especially if they acted in self defense.

I don't know that he did, but I would need evidence that he was the aggressor to want him convicted of murder. Maybe manslaughter or something like that... But not murder unless there is evidence he attacked the alleged victims first.

 

BTW, the gun never crossed state lines

 

When I see someone coming with an assault rifle I consider it a threat and prepare to defend myself.
