The mob looked pretty disueded. Oh and dead.YellowSnow said:
How can you conclude he was "objectively prepared"? He was running for his damn life from an angry mob and is lucky to be alive. I can appreciate and respeck the kid's desire to DO SOMETHING, but he was way in over his head from the get go.Southerndawg said:
He's far from a retard. You might not like his published support for law enforcement, or his involvement in this incident, or the way he looks, or whatever, but objectively he's a very prepared young man who showed an incredible amount of discipline and skill in an incredibly bad situation.RoadDawg55 said:He’s a retard but he should walk.
He was asked to be there to help out, and he willingly stepped up to do so. He showed up prepared to provide first aid as well as protect himself and others from life threatening attacks. He did NOT spray bullets randomly into a crowd or simply walk up to Antifa/BLM asshats and shoot them, but rather attempted to escape while under life threatening attacks, resorting to fire only as a last option and only firing upon and hitting his attackers. Along the way he was in contact with emergency services and attempted to turn himself in to the police when it was finally "safe" for him to do so. Definitely not a retard.
Shooting someone dead - even when it's justified - is a huge pain in the ass. The kid proactively got into a life or death situation he had no business being in. Contrast Rittenhouse's choices with, say, the images of the well armed black store owners in MN protecting their property and livelihood. Those grown ass men were prepared and had enough firepower to dissuade the mob.

And the latest news is that he used his stimulus money to buy the rifle. Who gives a fuck. That’s not news.

Hes white and not leftist.SFGbob said:
Yeah, smearing him as a white supremacist or even a "right-winger" is bullshit. Other than supporting the cops do we even know anything about his politics? I've read a couple pieces now on the people he shot both from lefty outlets like the WaPo and LATimes that couldn't more sympathetic to the "victims."jecornel said:Regardless of him making good or bad decisions the major fucking problem is how the incident has been positioned by the MSM.
The networks are crafting our supposed reality. -
Interesting. The original reporting was that someone gave him the rifle.jecornel said:And the latest news is that he used his stimulus money to buy the rifle. Who gives a fuck. That’s not news.
Actually, that is a lie. It's not interesting at all. -
Nothing I've read or seen in this story, which is a lot, has changed my mind that the kid shouldn't have been there. For that matter, no one should have been there. Protests are dumb. I don't care what your cause is, get out of the fucking road.
What my mind has been changed on, with @Swaye being the first making the argument, is how he handled himself once in the situation. He didn't fire indiscriminately and fired only when directly attacked.
People died in the street, not in someone's house. There must be a legal process. However, I hope that he is acquitted.
Big picture, I feel the country got lightly that there were relatively few of these incidents. -
How could anyone possibly know what specific thing stimulus money was used for? Isn't it all fungible once its in your account?jecornel said:And the latest news is that he used his stimulus money to buy the rifle. Who gives a fuck. That’s not news.
Does that mean Im going to get accused of using the stimulus money to buy a bunch of tanerrite, VIP dances, illegal Cubans, and blow? -
Need to get Florida to set the example and clear the right for property owners to shoot looters. If the National Guard or the police aren't going to protect people and property then you need the right.

We all got the Fucking Talk! For fuck sake, was anyone listening when Officer Friendly came to school and did his Q & A? I got "the talk" about a hundred times growing up, from numerous men of various occupations, and a few moms, too. I can't stand hearing black folks complain about what an exclusive black-only burden "the talk" is.SFGbob said:
"The talk" is a pet peeve of mine for all the reasons you laid out.TurdBomber said:
Blake is yet one more unfortunate victim of police violence because he ignored "The Talk."SFGbob said:
Pretty good evidence that Blake was already carrying a knife when he went around the front of the vehicle to open up the door of the mini-van. He'd already been tasered twice and was fighting with the police while carrying a knife. How were the police to know that he wasn't going for a gun inside the vehicle? Bullshit that the media has lost all interest in the facts surrounding this incident.alumni94 said:
Those cop(s) will walk also.SFGbob said:Btw, has anyone heard or read anything more on the shooting of Jacob Blake that sparked this riot? Has there been any official state/police report on the shooting released?
Apparently that "always show your hands and don't reach for anything, cooperate with police and be polite, etc.," part of "The Talk" was forgotten when he needed it most.
Hard to understand how something every parent of a black child must mandatorily engage in with their youths, unlike white kids, whose parents never say anything about not mouthing off to cops, not running from cops, not getting physical with cops, etc., can go so wrong. Did all these black police shooting victims just forget about "The Talk?"
Is collective, stress-induced amnesia an epidemic in these cases? Or is "The Talk" another load of bullshit? The evidence points to the latter.
Gimme a break. There's real issues out there with blacks and cops, but knowing how to de-escalate a police encounter is not one of them.
