Let's also remember, the first person the teenager fatally shot was NOT armed with a gun or a knife at all...  According to the videos, someone else unknown nearby fired a gun into the air (not at the teenager), and he responded by shooting the man who was chasing him.... who wasn't any kind of lethal threat.

 

 

 

Why was the shooter being chased?

So what were you trying to say?

Really? This has zero to do with you.

trump claims he's the law and order president, he owns the resolution, not constantly blaming others for his failures, which BTW a big contributor would be his divisiveness since he came to power. Ever since trump was on the campaign trial for the 2016 elections, trump has encouraged anger and violence by his supporters.

 

Did you see the clanger below from one of his senior people? No wonder trump doesn't condemn the current violence by his supporters, he actually tries to justify their actions.

 

“The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better it is for the very clear choice on who’s best on public safety and law and order.”

Has nothing to do with what I replied to.

If one race is dying at a greater percentage than another race, during arrests or. custody, is that not an indication that race is being treated differently, ie: racism.

Nope, just means they are stupider, and yes that's a correct spelling.

I went down to Jomtien Beach for an hour on Saturday afternoon and you'd never know there was a tourist crisis. Loads of traffic, including coaches. The deck chair vendors were doing a roaring trade (there seem to be more umbrellas around on the beach now than there were back at the start of the year), it was hard to find anywhere to park, and the beach and sea were full of people. I was in the area between Wat Bun and Chaiyapruek and saw all of three other farangs down there. I'm beginning to feel like a novelty, Thai parents will be pointing at me and telling their kids, "Look, Lek, it's a farang! Once there were many of them here in Pattaya, but they all died of the virus." I don't know what Pattaya Beach was like, but Jomtien Beach was just about normal in terms of numbers of people.

Yesterday I was sitting in the bar corner of soi 7 and beach rd around noon time.  3 customers in the open bar and across street could see the beach chairs with maybe a few chairs taken. Mighty quiet where I was.

Rubbish, he could have murdered a hundred people and its still irrelevant.

 

The only thing relevant is were the police in imminent danger when he was shot.

It's troubling when the entire story isn't given to the public. Only the bits and pieces needed to tell a biased narrative. Why not tell the entire story and let the public decide for themselves.

Its irrelevant to why he was shot.

A story starts at the beginning, unless of course you have an agenda on how the story is to be perceived. So, yes it is relevant.

I just don't understand this. The Republicans are showing videos of how bad it will be under Biden. Videos which are happening under Trump (with exception of images taken elsewhere). Should be encouragement to vote Biden.

Except for the fact his VP marched with blm and during the DNC biden was quiet about the violence crippling our cities across America. 

Don't understand the "why" Blake was there is such a secret. The why is what a story should start with.

did you heard about the 17 year guy, Trump supporter, had a front row seat at some of Trump's rallies and claiming to be part of a militia.... the wolf tickets are on their way, where you want them to be delivered

You said -

he's the one currently in charge and the militias keep doing/following his instructions to create unrest "only" on democrats run states. He has no agenda and no class to hold a proper dialogue during the campaign, the only thing he knows how to do is to scream and insult anyone not agreeing with him

Now prove Trump is giving instructions for the unrest, more than folks attending a rally.

The Klan have always operated under the protection and with the approval of the local police.  This is the way America is, and always has been

 

I doubt the 17 year old has ever owned any property, and any 'protecting my property' claims he makes are clearly bogus, his only reason to be there was his joy of killing unarmed black folk.

What race were the victims?

Rode it hard and put it away wet.

What's to attack? No indication Rittenhouse was shot AT by anyone. Yes he was in confrontation with protesters. And yes he was the one who ended up shooting and killing two people and wounding a third. He, from all indications, wasn't injured to any significant extent.

 

Except for an account from a right-wing (Tucker Carlson-founded) Daily Caller writer at the scene, no other indication in the report as to what transpired that led to the original chase/confrontation between Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum that preceded the first shooting.

 

Ultimately, if the prosecutors thought he had a legitimate self defense claim, they more than likely would not have announced the whole set of homicide charges they're planning to file.

 

As for your article claiming the court documents "appear to suggest" he acted in self defense, that's the similarly right-wing Daily Wire site's opinion.

 

They have to file charges against the shooter to minimize the violence, regardless of their ultimate objective.
