I don't know about other states but in Michigan you need to be 12 years old to possess a long gun. How many kids do you see walking around with rifle? Unless it hunting season and you're in the back woods you probably haven't seen a single one. As for a semi-automatic, most firearms are semi-automatic. One trigger pull=one bullet fired. We are no longer in the powder days where it takes a couple minutes to reload after firing or even single load firearms. Speaking of misinformation, I saw one guy in the crowd interviewed after the verdict yesterday saying he can't believe our laws allow people like Rittenhouse to carry an automatic AR-15 and go around shooting people. People like this just make themselves look like fools on camera because its obvious that they don't know what they are talking about. The media and uninformed politicians have caused this by the false information they've put out on AR-15 rifles.

Let's not forget that Biden also called him a white supremist. I hope Rittenhouse sues him and the media for defamation. He could be a rich man like Nicholas Sandman. There is a ton of misinformation about this case in the media and some of it ends up on this forum. These so called news outlets should at least report the truth because their false info inflames people. There was one media outlet, I believe they are British, that said after the verdict that Rittenhouse shot three black people.

Well said! It very unfortunate that people don't respect the system. We even have the POTUS and other well known political figures like De Blasio disagreeing with the verdict. You would think they of all people would know better. It makes me afraid of what this country has become. Innocent until proven guilty doesn't mean anything to some people anymore. Then when they are proven not guilty it doesn't fit their narrative so they disagree with it.

Maybe Carlos is trying to get Hinch to come back to Houston?

Why didn't he belong there anymore than any of the protestors? His father lived Kenosha. A lot of the violent protestors didn't have ties to Kenosha so why is Rittenhouse any different? The whole case is a lot of what ifs. What if the people would have protested peacefully? What if the rioters didn't attack Rittenhouse? What if the police and National Guard would have done a better job of keeping the peace? For some reason rioters get special privledge. The best thing would have been that everyone should have stayed home instead of destroying a city over an issue before it was even investigated to find out what really happened.

I think they do. There are several people saying there is one already signed and they're waiting to announce. I don't know how true that is but I think they have who they want in their sights and they are going for him.

It was the right verdict and the only verdict that could be reached with all the video evidence. I don't know how you or anyone could think he was unprovoked. He was the victim and he was defending himself. If he didn't defend himself he would have been seriously injured or killed. I do agree with you on one point is that the prosecution didn't do a good job. That prosecutor was an embarrassment with all the lies and BS they were presenting. I think someone above the prosecutor made them bring charges and the prosecutor knew he had no case and no chance of winning.

Taylor was hanging out with a bad crowd which she was part of. If her drug dealing boyfriend or whatever he was didn't shoot first at the officers she would be alive today. Unless of course she wasn't killed in other violent acts with the group she is part. The cops did nothing wrong. They returned fire when fired at. They didn't shoot first They were vilified because they returned fire at (gasp) a black guy who shot at them first. The boyfriend should have been charged with her murder because she died during the commission of a crime he was committing. Instead the democrat leaders went after the officers because they are easy targets and gave the actual criminal millions of dollars to continue his criminal ways. There's a theme here with democrats because they want to pay the illegal invaders on our southern boarder $450k to make them feel better. Its all ridiculous and no wonder law and order in the US is a thing of the past. That's why we have millions of people armed on the streets.

But Joe Biden said in his best demented whisper voice..."It doesn't cost anything." So Biden lies to the the country and says this socialist spending spree is free but in reality adds hundreds of billions to the deficit. It doesn't sound so free to me. Somebody has to pay for it and it will be us through higher taxes.

If anyone here is a troll it would be you. You never add anything to a conversation and most of what you post is incorrect. You should give your mom her laptop back.

The last thing we need is a bunch of whack jobs telling the police what they can and can't do. They do a fine job for the most part except there isn't enough of them. The best way to avoid problems with the police is to not break the law. The police don't bother law abiding citizens.

When you become an American then you can talk shit about our country.

Liz C is a moderate who let her hate for a man allow her to make bad decisions. In no circumstances is she like AOC. I agree MTG is wacko but so is AOC and her squad of loons. Their ideas are so bizarre they can't be considered seriously. Then her sidekick Talib publically says "We're going to impeach the MFer" days after Trump was elected. There was zero basis for her to say that and shows what kind of whack jobs they are. Then we could go on and on about Omar but there's not enough space here. There's still a few good people on both sides of the aisle but if you don't think the dems have a many nut cases or more then you haven't been paying attention.

He's from NY so I think Jerry No Nads is his mafia nickname. 😀

Let me get this straight, you support killing an unarmed and non violent people because they were in Capitol but a guy who what being beaten and had a gun pointed at him was not supposed to defend himself. You libs never cease to amaze me.

Jerry Nadler

The same can be said of the dems too. All of Washington DC has become a partisan joke. For every MTG there is an AOC to offset them. You have Nancy, Chuck, Shifty and no-Nads on one side and Mitch, Collins, Romney and Hawley on the other. The list of circus acts goes on and on.

Liberals were calling for DeSantis head because of the spike in Florida. I've heard nothing about Whitmer during Michigan's spike.

When your life is in danger you do have a right to be judge, jury and executioner. Most of you are condemning Rittenhouse for being there but why are you not condemning the BLM and liberal rioters for being there? Many of you just support whatever fits the liberal narritive no matter how wrong it is.

I was in Florida last week. I only noticed a couple people wearing a mask inside or out. They are currently the best state in nation per 100,000 person cases. What state is the worst? That would be Michigan.

I'm sure he would agree with you on the staying home part. He is not a lawless thug. Those would be the people who attacked him and tried to kill him. If anything he is the victim. If the situation was being managed by the police and Natonal Guard where were they when he was attacked. This situation is why so many people are armed in public. When a crime is being committed the victims have to fend for themselves any way they can. After the crime is when the police usually show up.

Its the same law here. There's no problem with law abiding citizen being armed. The problems start when these citizens are attacked. Would you be happy if Rittenhouse was unable to defend himself and he was killed by the lawless thugs?

The people and party that put the USA last are currently in office in DC and their action prove my statement.

The gun laws allow a 12 year old to go hunting. I'm not familiar with laws in Canada, do you know the age that a person has to be to possess a long gun and what is required? There's a lot of wilderness up there so I would assume a lot of kids with guns out hunting.

All you had to do is turn on the TV to see violence and destruction. Last I knew it was a crime to set fires to cars and businesses and riot. Its hardly alleged.
