You can whine about the court decision all you want and make wild, unsubstantiated claims about the judge and jury all day long and it simply doesn't matter. You're working off bias confirmation from a few headlines while they worked off the entirety of the evidence, the videos, and the testimony of first-hand witnesses. Quite frankly, I'll go with their opinion about what happened.It was a terrible decision. The defense found a legal pretext under which his plainly irrational possession was "justified".
And they were heard by an ammosexual judge.
He was there doing things to fix what the rioters were trying to destroy. Is that what has you so mad at him? Would you have been happy if he had cleaned up the graffiti, put out the fires, and just let them kill him, or would you have been happiest of all to have no opposition to the rioters, no one to clean up their mess and put out their fires?This little douche does not possess the mental capacity to be walking around with a tool SPECIFICALLY designed to tear people up. That he is considered some kind of model defies common sense.
In all of this, I still do not see any condemnation from you for the rioters who had no business being there at all. It's as if you believe they had a right to violate the curfew, destroy property and attempt to kill Rittenhouse, and you want to condemn him for getting in the way. How stupid do you have to be to run after and attack someone armed with a rifle when he's fleeing the scene, clearly no threat to you?No one will stop you from hiding behind that decision. But it doesn't make it sound policy.
Accordingly, it is entirely appropriate that he be facing a civil action. I hope it strips him clean.
