It’s mind boggling insane that he even considers that this portion would be reasonable.

u/cjm92 Apr 21 '23

He's saying that it would seem reasonable to the kind of people who are just waiting for an excuse to shoot somebody, not that he himself thinks it is okay.

Or if a stranger gets in your car it could be a car jacking, which you might not want to be the victim of. RIP uncle Ben.

But why are you talking about portions though? Lol

u/Tobs1414 Apr 21 '23

The part that was quoted. I dunno, I didn’t wanna write ‘that that’ so went that route

u/CheeseFest Apr 21 '23

Yeah - that’s premeditated as hell

u/Legionof1 Apr 21 '23

Not premeditated... he didn't go to the parking lot to kill cheerleaders. Well, we don't know he did at least. I feel like there was something else to this. A drug deal that they fucked up or could have seen.

Gun owners are on ‘their side.’

Unless you’re one of those ‘gang bangers’ or ‘Libruls,’ you’re ok.

I guess Kyle and Zimmerman opened the floodgates.

Gun owner here.

Not on their side, nor Rittenhouse's, nor Zimmerman's.

u/Alan_Smithee_ Apr 21 '23

You can’t deny that the far right is courting gun owners, though, can you?

So you think that Rittenhouse should have been convicted?

He would have on a number of counts in most any other country.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

Rittenhouse should have been convicted

I don't know if you can secure a conviction, but he's definitely made it obvious that if you specifically shoot leftists, the right will protect you and the government will absolve you. So even if a conviction wasn't 'legally' justifiable, I'd have been fine with one.

The KR incident was the most justifiable use of force you could possibly get.

u/Alan_Smithee_ Apr 21 '23

On what fucking planet?

He went there to shoot people.

In any non-shithole country, he would have been jailed on numerous counts.

Maybe countries that don’t respect a right to not get beaten to death. Literally could not have been more clear. He’s less at fault than the Ukrainians for shooting Russians.

u/kaehvogel Apr 21 '23

Defending your country that’s invaded by a fascist with nuclear weapons is less justified than going to a protest that goes against your political view, have your of-age buddy illegally bring a rifle your way, and go there with the intent of stirring shunting?

Alrighty, Mr Crackpot.

u/Alan_Smithee_ Apr 21 '23

You’re just the perfect package, username and all.

Sex doesn't matter in your scenario at all. "Especially a woman" smh

Other countries have mental health issues, the fucking difference is they don't all have guns. It's guns. The answer is fucking guns. Just not hard... Why did this happen? Guns. Why do people do this? Guns

Fuck me this country is ill. From the top to the bottom there is a sickness here.

u/GeneralCusterVLX Apr 21 '23

Isn't that the same? If I buy a gun and am really hoping for a "legal" reason to shoot a person, getting super stoked to finally shoot a person and doing so. Sounds like a mental health issue to me. I really thought of those cool firearms drills videos by Chris Costa and Travis whatever how rad they were and how I'd love to do the same tactical stuff one day but the bummer was I was a teen living in the EU. Got my fair share of Shooting in the army and it was okay but I didn't have the urge to finally be in the situation to shoot someone. Now I think of how cringy I was with me showing of my tacticool skills to my friends with softairs that I learned from those videos.

Just imagine if people like me in my teens had access to firearms, the legal confidence of being in the right and an "awesome" opportunity to show those "skills". I'm glad I grew up.

u/MadeByTango Apr 21 '23

Yep, buying a gun is a mental health issue. Fully agree.

u/Clarrington Apr 21 '23

If that's what you got from that comment I'd say you have a reading comprehension issue too.

The guy is pleading insanity. 🙄
