The other thing that's funny about it is how much they are obsessing over this part. It's almost as if they are trying to distract from the fact that what the boy did was, on its face, indefensible.

Really because the defense just defended him successfully. Seems pretty defensible by definition.

I see a guy who's armed and looking like he's looking for danger in a crowd of unarmed people and I'm thinking, yeah, I'd like to see him disarmed. Sure, I'm not the bold hero type so I might run away from him—which I would guess is his goal, to get people to run away—but I would applaud anyone who could get in there and disarm him. That didn't happen this time, but I'll certainly be rooting for that in the future.

You route for that. Good luck with that. 

I will route for no one bringing a skate board to a gun fight. I'll also route for a mob not chasing an armed 17 year old around. 

Legally he more or less had the right to have a weapon, was not an immediate danger to anyone until he was attacked. Contrary to what the idiot prosecutor said he does not have to just take a beating. https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/prosecutor-rittenhouse-should-have-let-mob-attack/

You serve no useful purpose here.  You have already been here for 24 hours which is too long.

No one is useful here. Its a freaking internet message board.... You are just pouty that your echo chamber safe space is being disturbed.

lulz yourself.

He's not being chased by a mob. He's running toward some action and a guy caught up with him. Other people stepped in and did what they could to try to disarm him. If you were around some guy you don't know who's holding a gun with intentions you're unclear on, and you had to act fast to save your own life, you'd do exactly what these guys in your photos did.

So you see a guy running with the gun pointed towards the ground and your response to save your life is to chase after him and try to disarm him. 

Pretty sure most people who are not a moron would  run in the opposite freaking direction if they thought he was a threat.  Clearly that didn't work out so well for them.

Literally every argument they make comes down to false equivalency and lack of nuance, sprinkled with some whatsboutism. There’s nothing else there. Pay attention and you’ll see it over and over. 

You have nothing to bring up but Jan 6th because nothing is going well in America under the Democrats. 25 people were killed at least during the BLM protest. But where is the effort to lock up the looters, people hunting down folks on social media, etc? 

Must distract from plunging poll numbers and runaway inflation at all cost!!!

Not "clearly running away".

Looked to me like he was running toward something and got overtaken by people looking to disarm him. If he were running away he would have been busting tail 100%. Instead he was basically jogging. No sale.

LULZ this is the best you can come up with. Dude is being chased by a mob. What do you think happens when you try to "disarm" someone with a gun?

I agree that it doesn't happen in a dinner conversation. I agree that they were already distrustful of the government. I would disagree with the notion that practically all were already radicalized before social media, or that social media had little if any effect on them. I believe social media was used purposefully to radicalize a great number of people otherwise quiet about their previously pushed-down beliefs, and that Trump was a key utilizer of that strategy.

Y'all need to get laid more and drink more booze if you are discussing politics over dinner.

Jen Psaki, who has repeatedly stressed that no more lockdowns are in store, telling reporters as early as August that “We are not going back.” 

Despite those assurances, however, lockdown orders in the US have been the exclusive domain of state and local authorities, rather than the White House, leaving it unclear whether Zients and Psaki are referring to an – as yet unprecedented – federal shutdown measure. Though some localities have begun to lift their pandemic restrictions, many states and cities across the US continue to impose mask requirements, vaccine passes and occupancy limits, among other containment policies.

It doesn't happen in a dinner conversation.  It builds up over a lifetime.  These people have never trusted our government and they have received confirmation.  I think they always believed these things, but were afraid to say it and felt powerless to do anything about it until Trump.  Social media does allow them to connect with like thinking people more easily.    

Sucks you lived a sad powerless life.

Realistically, the earliest they compete for a World Series is probably 2023, and Chris' comments may be a reflection of that.

Overall, Chris' comment about providing Al/AJ the resources they think they need is a more aggressive posture than I can ever remember him taking. But now he needs to back it up.... 

That is not realistic at all actually. Unless Chris is going to start tossing out money like his daddy, there are to many holes on the roster even if they sign a top level SS.

Hutchinson >>>Thibodeaux

Neither should be taken as the first pick of the draft. I like them both but Lions need to understand positional value is a thing. Taking a DT in the second and third round last year was stupid given all the holes on the roster. I get building through the tranches but back to back top 3 round picks on DT isn't smart. 

So has the league folded yet?

Yup, right now that is America.  I'm not disagreeing there is a problem.  I just don't think putting the non-aggressor, who didn't try and stand his ground (which isn't allowed in Wisconsin), but rather attempted to flee first, in jail just because you feel guns are bad is the right solution.

We're going to end up having to put barricades, big concrete ones on the side of roads for events because of situations like this.  It's sad.   So many psychos.   What the hell is wrong with us?   Why do we have so many people like this here?   

God forbid if he crossed state lines! That would just be racist.

I know, right? Signs up for a forum about Detroit sports and immediately starts dropping bomb after bomb in the political forum, and not a thing in the sports part. 

You are projecting. I haven't said anything about your mother yet.

I noticed someone in the comments talking about Thanksgiving reporting on the cost of the dinner being higher this year.

Kroger ran a promo where they gave us a free turkey because we spent $100 on groceries last week lol

Well hells bells. I guess a Kroger free Turkey must mean supply chain issues, run away inflation , increased gas prices , etc don’t matter.

Just give the plebs their freaking free Kroger Turkey and tell them to shut up and stuff their pie hole.

If I'm reading this right, you're saying that Biden is worse than every president in the last 40 years, except for Reagan?

Those are Larry Summers words not mine. But nice baiting.

Nah, the rampant racism and bigotry used to politely hidden.

Everyone is racist when you need to score internet points for being anti-racist.

White kid shoots white people including a pedophile. Media and their stooges declare it racist. 

Career criminal Darrell Brooks continues to commit crimes, while out on 1k bail. People act surprised and ask how could this happen. Lulz!
