Sounds like you condone thousands of thugs looting stores & other businesses, burning cities to the ground.

No, it sounds like I believe in the rule of law, not someone with a gun being judge and jury.
The difference is important

Rittenhouse believes in the rule of law. Self defense is legal. He was not convicted of breaking any law.

Yet, you seem to be a judge and jury about him being a vigilante. You sound like an authoritarian, not like a believer in the rule of law.

If you travel across state borders out of your normal residence, bring a weapon and claim to be defending you’re a vigilante.
Spin it as you see fit

He didn't bring a weapon across state lines. The weapon was stored in his friend's house in Kenosha, not in his home in Illinois. And he legally possessed it at the time of the shooting. And he had a part time job as well as a friend and relatives in Kenosha so spent a lot of time there. It was not unusual or unexpected that he was in Kenosha.

You're the one doing all the spinning. I'm strictly speaking within the bounds of the law. It might be more accurate to say that you are lying. Not unusual for you to do.

Self defense, and defense of private property is not vigilantism. And sometimes, somewhere, legal agencies are inadequate, or even corrupt, or even the problem.

Of course, there's the tried and true legal way--wait for the crime to be committed, then call the police. Works really well when you're being attacked.

BLM protesters were “rioters”

January 6th insurrectionists were “peaceful tourists”

Ashley Babbitt was a “martyr”

George Floyd was a “thug”

Kyle Rittenhouse was a “hero”

The common theme is always the same: vilify the oppressed, glorify the powerful

You are a classless POS.

Another low for this forum. John you should be proud.

Everything Pete has ever said, is OK with you. But you tattle about the conservatives. Politically selective outrage, is fake outrage.

John didn't do anything.

He lets it go on. He also lets Pete say some pretty outrageous stuff, which interestingly doesn't bother you.

How come you only get offended when conservatives say offensive things?

Do you want to hold up RR as a conservative?

Saying 'eat lead" is far different than anything else I have seen here.

I don't read every post but Pete seems to get far more than he dishes out.

I think he has already eaten lead as a child and in adulthood he has moved on to a lighter alternative, he loves his aluminum hats now.
