why has the national guard been activated in Wisconsin? because they’re afraid conservatives are going to riot? or afraid

for the 20th time, it was unbelievably stupid for rittenhouse to head there with a rifle.

but that has absolutely no bearing on the trial. because even stupid people are entitled to self defense.

“claiming self defense.”

FFS, one of them pointed a loaded gun at Rittenhouses head from 5 feet away. how is that NOT self defense? the guy who got shot, pointed his gun at rittenhouse, before rittenhouse raised his gun at him. open and shut self defense.

Maybe the guy who was pointing the gun saw an active shooter kill two people, but I guess it all depends on who’s shooting.
I can find plenty of rationalizations for shooting armed people that were seen as threats.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Doesn't matter what the guy who was pointing the gun thinks he saw. Rittenhouse still reacted in self defense. Including when he shot the other two that were chasing him and attacking him.
