Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

[jj22]

To believe in his self defense argument that some are quick to support is to believe that when someone comes to you (travels to your house, your neighborhood, your school, your place of business - all the way from another state), and kills you after you respond to their confrontation and maybe **gasp** fight them, chase them, throw something at them just for then cries and claims self defense. Is a dangerous twist to the law. It shouldn't be accepted and if not for politics it wouldn't be.

The issue is to the common folk. That isn't self defense. That is getting involved in some mess you shouldn't have been involved in and getting away with murder after you went looking for trouble.

Example. When I was young, a group of kids got off at my bus stop (not theirs) to fight me (after bullying me all bus ride for half the school year - so they were looking for trouble). Only 1 actually fought me, but I fought back and handled myself enough to where I wasn't bullied any longer, and if they would have shot me, who would have supported their self defense claim? No one hopefully. But politics aren't involved and common sense would be.

What are we telling people who want to kill? Go seek trouble, start trouble, and kill and claim self defense.

The truth is self defense doesn't mean you can bringing a gun to a fist fight (protests) that you traveled to, shoot someone that you are now scared of, and after claim self defense.

This goes back to my point about be careful what you support because you support the shooter. This law won't change until black people start following white teens and starting fights with them and then killing them as the white teen begins to get the better of them (ala Zimmerman). Or when black teens (or any minority teen) go to the next "Good People" Nazi protests and get's chased with those holding torches and turns and shoots a couple of them. It won't change until a black husband and wife comes out their house and points guns at a group of passing white students (who weren't even heading to their house but headed up the street to protest outside of someone else house) threatening them.

And there lies the problem with America and what we've seen from the beginning. The only time the NRA for example supported gun laws was when black people thought the 2nd amendment was meant for them and tried to open carry. Things tend to not change until those oppressed start taking advantage of the laws that those who oppress use against them and have gotten away with in our legal system.
