and what, pray tell, is "coming to him"?

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

A job at Fox News

money and celebrity status and whatever he wants to do with that basically. kill some libs and get away with it and you're a hero to conservatives

i wonder how you feel about the guy that literally approached him with his gun out? or the guy that tried to smash his head in with a skateboard? are they 'heroes' to liberals? how are they any better if so?

Interesting stance, because his first victim wasn't armed, and Rittenhouse testified that he knew he wasn't armed.

He did rush a deranged person running around looking for an excuse to shoot people, that's true though.

Now, after Kyle murdered that dude, would you say other people in the area might be right to fear an armed murderer, and consider him a viable threat to their and others safety?

the kid was out looking for people to shoot, and had just shot someone. the pistol came out in an effort to get the assault rifle out of the kids hands.

ok so you didn't pay attention to anything that happened, nor did you listen to any of the testimony given from either side. i now understand you're arguing from a place of feeling not logic or facts. have a good day.

I watched the whole goddamn trial as they streamed it in real time

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

so you have selective hearing?

you're the one that's twisting shit to fit into YOUR narrative, not the actual court proceedings. but ok.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

You're not saying anything. You're just telling me I'm wrong. your words are completely empty. this is not what I would call an interesting discussion. I probably wouldn't like you in real life.
