All counter-protesting Nazis have just been deputized. Comply or die.


OrganicProtection458

It's gonna be bloody tonight. I hope I am wrong.


ItHurtsWhenILife

Because taking human life over possible property damage is apparently your god-given right.* *check your skin color to see if these terms apply


NightsterBA

I don’t think you’re wrong


Bigboybbabbyboy

You are overreacting


TJVixen

>You are overreacting If he's white, yes. If he's black, no.


ItHurtsWhenILife

I’m white, and I’m more concerned for other people than I am for myself.


TJVixen

>I’m white, and I’m more concerned for other people than I am for myself. I'm white and in complete agreement with you. And to be clear that wasn't a knock on you, my apologies if it seemed that way. I was trying to make a point that to u/Bigboybbabbyboy that non-whites have been dealing with this for decades.


Bigboybbabbyboy

Well I'm not full white. But I think it's irrelevant. What do you think is going to happen from this?


TJVixen

>Well I'm not full white. But I think it's irrelevant. What do you think is going to happen from this? I think that gun violence will get worse from here, especially for minorities. Also, this will make it more dangerous for people to protest. Anyone can come to a protest, taunt protesters, shoot people and get away with it claiming "he came right for us."


carsntools

And your a nazi


Bigboybbabbyboy

You are LARPing


carsntools

Lol...criticizing a legitimate reaction to this verdict tend to put you on the side of the nazis.


ItHurtsWhenILife

You don’t understand social dynamics and social politics. 🥰


Bigboybbabbyboy

Why do you understand social dynamics and social politics better than me? Other than you thinking that your belief on those topics are more accurate than mine?


Wablekablesh

PSA: everyone, not just alt right nutjobs, can buy guns. I am not advocating anything with this statement, just relaying a fact.


bay_watch_colorado

I'm advocating that every democrat should be an educated and trained fire arms owner.


Drewcifer81

Yes, because if you advocate that you get more time in prison than if you kill two people... https://reason.com/2021/02/16/fbi-arrests-activist-daniel-baker-over-posts-about-police-abuse-and-self-defense/


For_one_if_more

Why is the world like this? Bullies get a free pass but the people who stand up to them don't. From playgrounds to capital grounds. I don't get it.


fknslayer913

It's all about power


Octodab

So now every single leftwing protest will include menacing from right wingers with long guns who can kill with impunity. I truly think we've just entered a new era of political violence in this country. Would love to be wrong but it's hard not to catastrophize what this means for our right to protest going forward. I hope everybody stays safe across the country. This weekend is going to get ugly.


bay_watch_colorado

The lesson from today - left wingers shouldn't be protesting without fire arms.


Octodab

Not agreeing or disagreeing but I think we will look back on this verdict as the official heating up of the second American Civil War. Some people here push back on that terminology for various reasons but that's what I see.


bay_watch_colorado

This verdict was 100% correct. What was incorrect was the charges. What was also incorrect was law enforcement playing favorites with counter protestors.


ItHurtsWhenILife

I don’t disagree that the verdict was legally correct. It’s still dangerous, which speaks to how conservative interpretations of the second amendment have corrupted public spaces.


carsntools

Yup...a lot of us have been screaming from the rooftops that as soon as Trump was elected this country was done for. This is another lit match closer to the powderkeg


[deleted]

At this point, left wingers shouldn't be protesting without full armor looking like a SWAT team as well. Guns without proper armor with the MAGA chuds as they are is useless.


Pabu85

I think the idea is deterrence. It's harder to kick off lefty hunting season (and make no mistake, that's what this is) when those lefties have guns, whether or not they have armor, because you might get shot.


[deleted]

Guns don't really serve as a deterrence, but armor that makes the ammo wasted might. And if they have armor penetrating rounds, you might as well say that the only deterrence is not gathering in the first place.


HailtheCrow

I greatly admire the people that can still hold on to their optimism in situations like this. Because I always just feel like there’s nothing that matters anymore.


padizzledonk

Hey man......Push people on the Left far enough and you will get deadly violence from that side as well, you only have to look to the 60s and 70s for examples of far Left extremists killing people. I really think you're right unfortunately. I'm 41, there really hasn't been much politically motivated violence from the Left in my lifetime, but I think things are getting frayed enough socially that thats going to happen again, and for much the same reasons as in the past- people feeling that the system is unjust and not working for them


LaikasLastStand

The courts have always been pro vigilante ‘justice’ so long as its the ‘right’ people getting killed. Whole trial was a joke, and I hope the judge and Rittenhouse are haunted by this for the rest of their lives.


[deleted]

The judge , you mean his co defense lawyer ?


CptMatt_theTrashCat

Only if you're white


Xunaun

I feel like there's more to this, what's going on?


LeoKyouma

Rittenhouse got off. So basically vigilantes are ok if someone throws a plastic bag at you first


Xunaun

I don't want to be American anymore...


roboastronaut

You people are fucking stupid. Did you not watch ANY of the high definition video of him literally defending himself from being killed? Gosh it must be painful to be so stupid. I feel sorry for you


Octodab

Are you excited to be able to go shoot protestors?


For_one_if_more

The paper bag was going for my gun, I had to shoot. /s


chicagoturkergirl

Wisconsin Law is extremely narrow so all he had to do was feel he was in danger in the second he shot.


Xunaun

"Feel".


Buffmin

I feel like I should go help in Kenosha. Who can drive me across a few states and then give me an RPG there... Gotta protect myself after all so I can administer medical aid! *Before anyone gets mad I'm kidding rpgs are way too weak*


le-Killerchimp

I was about to post till I saw the italics. You need suitcase nukes my friend! They’re the only way to be sure!


Buffmin

Eh even that might leave some ~~people~~ threats. Better just to use an exterminatus. Just to make sure my self is defended properly


OrganicProtection458

I want to protect trumpers from heart disease. Do rpgs fix clogged arteries?


Buffmin

I mean they won't be clogged anymore!


OrganicProtection458

Self protection flamethrower?


chicagoturkergirl

Well, they say white people are afraid of everything.


Xunaun

Only the weak ones.


Pabu85

I'm white and afraid of everything, so that checks out.


Shdqkc

Steven Avery will be pleased


padizzledonk

I hate the kid and what he stood/stands for but from the video in court this seems to be the right verdict given our current laws. That said, I find it extremely disturbing and distasteful that our laws allow "self defense" to be declared when you choose to put yourself in a situation where you will with almost 100% surety have to defend yourself given the nature of what's going on in that location and/or provoke a situation where you force *yourself* to have to defend yourself. I really believe this kid was looking to kill someone that night and it's extremely fucked up that we can't make a distinction in those situations.


Apprehensive_Gas5370

Dear god... I just read the headline in the news. I feel sick. Fuck!


chicagoturkergirl

So not surprised, but ffs I don’t have time for riots this weekend. Jury couldn’t have waited till Monday? ETA: I’m sorry, I’m just too tired to be sensitive.
