Rittenhouse Trial Outcome - Protests Emerge

[hammerofglass]

Hmm, was getting sources and looks like I misunderstood a few things about what the judge did. Still bad but but nowhere near as bad as I had thought. So that's a mea culpa.

Naturally. Things rarely are as bad as ''sources'' on social media claim.

I mean this forum is the main social media I use, but sure.

I'm really not sure what to make of the situation of the people chasing him when he's running away from and with a non-concealed gun no less.

The "political view" that cold blooded murderers who openly boast about their crimes should not be let off on the pretext that it's self defense if the people you're shooting at looked scared? That embargoing all the important evidence to get your pet terrorist off is a gross miscarriage of justice? Just... any respect for rule of law? Sure.

The problem with political discussion isn't that people have different perspectives on reality, but that they seem to exist in totally different realities yet somehow access a single world's media and judicial system.

Your comments have nothing whatsoever to do with the established facts of the case in the world I live in. Could you please restrict your comments to your own home planet / dimension / reality?

...said the "fascists are socialists" person.

Like I said above, I misunderstood some of the facts of the case. Specifically that Wisconsin's standard of "self defense" is so different from the ones I'm familiar with that even calling Wisconsin's version "self defense" feels satirical. It's one of those "fifty counties in a trenchcoat" problems.

That's exactly what I'm talking about - a complete unwillingness, or a complete inability, to deal with reality as it exists.

Okay, Cliff's Notes? What exactly happened here?

Self-defense laws are badly designed in the US and the situation here effectively awarded whoever shot first with an affirmative defense.
