That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
This falls under the crazy left.
It's so funny how conservatives won't flush their turds and then will try to convince everyone that they're actually Snickers bars.
Wtf are you talking about?
The right keeps moving head over heels to defend and support shitty people, instead of admitting that perhaps they're not people worth defending when they prove themselves to be consistently awful. It's not a good look for the right.
I don't get why that's a difficult concept to understand. Bad apples spoil the entire bunch.
Do people recognize the differences between him stating what happened when rioters were threating his safety of person, and him bragging about shooting someone?
What I always found interesting is he shot three people and at least two were felons. Only at a democrat riot could you get odds like that. The third one was carrying an illegal weapon when he tried to shoot rittenhouse. Rittenhouse is lucky he survived. I don’t think he’s a hero. Just a kid attacked by violent people who he had to defend himself against. Had the police done their job, the riot would have been broken up and most likely nobody would have been shot
I am in full agreement with you, except Idon't believe any weaponis illegal. Only how it is used that can be deemed illegal, but carrying it, no, because it is an inanimate object.
He was a carrying it concealed without a permit. That’s illegal. It’s possible he was a felon as well which makes carrying a weapon illegal.
I'm against permits and asking for permission to have something. No object is illegal, only how it is used. If it is about preventing all homocide, the country must ban citizens having knives, wrenches, hammers, bats, lighters, torches, etc. It's a cultural problem, a moral problem. There is no reason inviduals can't buy a fully automatic, and RPG, or a tank if they haave the money, if someone trained and skilled in proper use in a responsibility. In previous generations, children or minors knew how to handle the family firearms, including cleaning and maintenance. It's a problem of society cultural rot.
You have no issues with Gaige having a firearm even with his criminal past and trying to harm innocent people? I have a huge issue with that.
I just read the wiki article about him. How is he the bad guy?
He isn’t. He was a liberal kid, trying to do the right thing and several people attacked him. He defended himself and the liberals turned on him.
trying to do the right thing and several people attacked him
Broke federal law having another buy a weapon for him, crossed state lines with an unregistered weapon with the specific intent to brandish and incite.
He is the reason people should be armed, so they can shoot criminals like him.
You realize most of this is misinformation.
You have a cite he crossed state lines with a weapon? What specific crime is that? What is an unregistered weapon? Can you cite the applicable state law?
Let’s see you back up these claims
Well from what he was actually charged with we can start with Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18
Rittenhouse was armed with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle. He was 17 years old on the night of the shootings. Wisconsin law prohibits minors from possessing firearms except for hunting.
He was also failing to comply with an emergency order which put a curfew in place.
Whoever purchased the firearm for Kyle, allegedly with Kyle’s money, committed a “straw purchase”.
Trafficking illegally obtained firearms over state lines is also a felony.
I still find it odd the prosecution dropped the ball so badly on this case.
No Wisconsin law does not prohibit it. That is why the charge was dropped.
The weapon never crossed state lines.
The prosecution didn't drop the ball. Most of what you are saying is false.
The straw purchase fell apart as well.

Being gifted guns by your family is legal and protected.
Crossing state lines with a gun is legal.
Gun registration isnt a thing in America.
He was there to defend local businesses.
He defended himself from a man who chased him and grabbed his gun, from amother man who struck hin with a skateboard, and from yet another man who pointed a glock at him.
He was rightfully found not guilty on all charges. And yes, he is a great example of why people should be armed, a perfecr example of self defense.
If aomeone attacks you with a skateboard you shoot him in the face and brag about it. Americans are fucking cavemen
A skateboard to the head can kill. What, would you really take a skateboard to the head and do nothing about it? Maybe call the cops and give them a report from the hospital?
Where did he brag about it? A skateboard to the head would cause serious injury or death. Yes, I would shoot someone trying to hit me with a skateboard.
He never crossed a state line with a gun. While it is legal, it never happened.
He also showed great trigger discipline and accuracy. He only shot the targets he was trying to shoot and didn't hit any bystanders.
