Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Sure looks like self-defense to me.

    This is a total mess, the guy with the rifle might be on the correct side of razor thin legal rights but he sure as shit shouldn’t feel good about what happened.

    The failures that lead to this weren’t 5 minutes before or 5 hours before it was the months and years of coddling rioters and this emotion fueled entitlement that leads to people “running down this path”.

    As a husband and father I get a pit in my stomach thinking about what I’d have do if that shit came trying to knock my door down. If you think I’m being dramatic, please watch what is happening in Portland neighborhoods.

    Is it on TV? IN HD?

    Good post by the way

    Lol at that "reporting". Very intentionally leaving out that actual video of the incident and saying that "Another video shows Rittenhouse open fire with a rifle after he fell to the ground" without mentioning the rush of people attempting to assault him.

    First degree homicide? DA will have to prove this kid had the premeditated intent of killing the two people attacking him. Tough sell.

    Another video shows Rittenhouse open fire with a rifle after he fell to the ground and then calmly walk toward police vehicles with his hands raised in surrender.

    However, no officers are seen getting out of the vehicles, which continue advancing toward protesters, to apprehend Rittenhouse — who then fled the state and was considered a fugitive.

    That caught my eye too. Horribly written article by the way.

    Police offered the people protecting the gas station water then he went on a killing spree!!!

    I don't want anyone getting shot. Citizens shooting citizens is bad for society. This shit is going to happen, and as @LoneStarDawg said it is a grace that it hasn't happen a lot more. I think "normal" people are starting to take the message from rioters, might makes right.

    The violence in the protests the last few months shows how truly broken our society is at the moment ... I don’t see it slowing down or fixing itself anytime soon unfortunately

    This is how you know cops aren’t racist, they are spineless and self serving towards white people too.

    Can you fucking imagine trying to surrender to cops in front of a mob and the cops abandon you?

    Like I said, the Left will continue to antagonize and they are HOPING for armed resistance so they can play the victim.

    I large and growing segment of our society no longer feels the laws apply to them as long as they believe their cause has to do with "justice." And a growing number of black people feel they no longer need to abide by lawful police commands and that they should be able to resist arrest without consequences.

    These beliefs and feelings have been encouraged by leftist politicians, the media and entertainment/pop culture world. Yeah, I'd say we're fucked.
