Eichenwald's article clearly and definitively stated: "it was open carry, was the beginning, middle, end of this entire tragedy."

it doesn’t matter to him. nor does it matter that theees all kinds of evidence that what started this mess, was the child rapist clearly instigating a conflict with rittenhouse.

anything that would exonerate rittenhouse, makes the left look like
liars. so he isn’t ever going to concede one inch. because the left said rittenhouse is a white supremacist murderer, therefore that must be the case to him.

The guy had serious issues for sure, but when you walk into a situation that's out of control and you're the only person with an AR-15 style weapon ready to go I'd expect you're going to get some attention.

and maybe all of what you said, you. can direct at the rioters and people
who encourage riots. riots are a very bad idea spence, for reasons which are now clear.

why were the people rittenhouse shot, there to begin with? everyone on your side made a big deal ( incorrectly, as usual) about rittenhouse being where he didn’t belong. turns out his dad and other family lives there.

why were his victims there? were they cleaning up graffiti like rittenhouse started off doing? did you know that’s what he was doing at first? no weapon, cleaning up graffiti. you think your side ever mentions that?

do you actually believe the stuff you post? or are you just playing games?

I've mentioned before, been tear gassed twice and I'm no instigator. Protests can organically get out of control before you know what's going on.

I have no idea why Rosenbaum was there but the other two shot looked to just be taking part in the protests.

That's been widely reported but really not material at all to the shootings.

Talk about cherry-picking

There are only 2 reasons to open carry an assault rifle: to intimidate members of the public and to hunt people. In fact, even open-carrying a handgun is asinine the idea started with "it's good to be armed to defend yourself against a shooter." But of course, if you're eating at Luby's, and an active shooter comes in & sees you with a gun, you're the first one he'll shoot. It's those with *concealed* guns that offer protection *because* it was open carry, was the beginning, middle, end of this entire tragedy.

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?
