Going to prison for decades to own the libs
What?? You’re the one accusing Kenosha police of arresting too few people, not me. I wasn’t a witness, so I’m not making such absurd speculations.
I’m simply following your rationale to its natural conclusion. “I feared for my life. He could’ve been reaching for a gun.”
Who in this thread said that? Let’s address points we’ve actually made, not ones you (may have) heard elsewhere.
As bad as it is, business owners can get their windows back with insurance settlements. Or worse, out of pocket. Rittenhouse’s victims will never get their lives back. So let’s try not to equate the two, please. Taking the life of another is something we take very seriously in Catholicism.
I agree with this. I would not go intentionally to an area where there is likely to be violence. However, much like rioters who feel the need to hurt people, steal and break things because of a real or perceived injustice, there are those who will take the law into their own hands when those charged with that responsibility abdicate it…which is also a real or perceived injustice.KMC:
Sometimes maturity helps people to avoid a bad situation. There was looting in my neighborhood earlier this year and I carry often. However, I would not and did not go down to where the looting was occurring armed.
That was not really the question.You posted that riots were ‘allowed’ to happen. Well, this youth crossed state lines to be out after curfew as a self-appointed protector? Then he runs and falls carrying a rifle at port arms?
They shouldn’t be paid.
I did use the word “allow.” Portland…Minneapolis…Seattle…those riots, violent protests, looting were allowed to happen. All people who engage in unrest are responsible…but there is some causality here. I’m not excusing the kid, but had the police had a strong presence first, he might have been dissuaded from going there.KMC:

It does no good to blame the unrest on someone else. This adolescent made some bad decisions. That is without even assessing if his shooting was warranted or not.
Their people? What do you mean by “ their people”? I thought they were Americans. Our people.
I totally agree with this. What sort of entitlement makes people of any creed think it is ok to destroy others livelihoods and property.
What is wrong with society.
Resisting does not justify holding his t-shirt and shooting him in the back at point blank range 7 times. How could that ever justify this.
That may be true, but if there were no incidents of police brutality, the professional agitators would be rendered impotent. No one would be inclined to listen to them.
I watched the video of the police wrestling him down. It did not look assault to me. And that brazen officer most certainly didn’t look scared.
Agreed. But the protests - which took place for the majority of the day by the majority of people - had everything to do with it. They’re just not as sexy for journalists to cover.
Maybe tell that to the officer who decided on a de facto death penalty?
That’s not necessarily true. Policies are not required to cover for damages caused by riots and civil commotion. Better check the policy fine print in case those rioters show up in one’s neighborhood. The wallet one saves may be their own.
