The Republican party needs to be burnt to the ground

Fuzzy: WRONG LIBTARD I FOUND 3 INCIDENTS OF RIOTING AND LOOTING CAUGHT ON VIDEO

It used to be funny Fuzzy, but it's just getting sad and tiresome now. If you want to come here and debate, that's great and I strongly encourage it. Please bring real arguments, logic and data analysis to the table and try to make real counter-arguments instead of demagoguery.

600 Riots in one summer, and the Democrats are mad that Republicans don't support their effort to send a political prisoner to jail for decades. Get a clue.

If you steal a gun, cross state lines and shoot someone on the street you are in the wrong.

1.  Rittenhouse is not charged with stealing a weapon.

2.  Even if he did, he is able to use that weapon to defend himself to preserve his own life.  That matter is going to be resolved in a Court by a jury of Rittenhouse's peers, and not by a mob of online Wokies.  This is, after all, still America, and last I read, people in American were entitled to a fair trial if charged with felonies and were permitted to mount affirmative defenses to their charges.

I'll bet you hate that when the defendant is someone whose legal defense challenges your own cherished narratives, but that's how it's done here.  

A white dude murders two people.
Fuzzy: this is a matter that will be resolved by the courts.

Some black dudes destroying property.
Fuzzy: CRUSH THOSE COMMUNIST FIENDS!!!

Also whether you think Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent or guilty has nothing to do with whether he or especially his mom should be celebrated because they shouldn’t. He crossed state lines illegal with an assault rifle to go to an area he knew was a political hotbed deliberately to cause trouble. Even if he ends being proven innocent it doesn’t change the fact that his actions in the buildup go against everything “responsible gun owners” are supposed to do according to the NRA and pro-gun people. So to celebrate his actions is seriously telling on yourself

Kyle Rittenhouse was, allegedly, in Kenosha to help a person defend his business in the face of impending violence.  Let's assume that part is true for the sake of argument.  (It may well be false, but that hasn't been demonstrated yet.)

Let's assume that is true. He still committed a crime being a minor in possession of an assault weapon. Are you okay with him committing a crime just to stop another alleged crime? Are you, while condemning rioters, saying you support vigilantism and subversion of the law?

Open carry of a rifle is legal for 17 year olds in Wisconsin. He literally did not commit a single crime.

That is not clear, and will need to be resolved in court, since he has been charged with the crime. The exemption in the statute is designed for hunting, but is ambiguous in its wording. Regardless, it is a misdemeanor and nothing compared to the murder charges he's facing.

As long as Democrats continue screwing up, there will be a Republican party.

This from a man who appears to have gone from denying that the BLM and Antifa protests included wanton violence to defending the violence, to outright projection and gaslighting.

This post is, of course, more nonsense from DrScholl, but it begs questions:

1.  Is Kyle Rittenhouse presumed innocent?  Does he not deserve the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a Court?  

2.  Does Kyle Rittenhouse not have the right to a fair trial?  

3.  Does Kyle Rittenhouse not, on its face, have valid defenses for his actions that deserve to be heard and honestly evaluated for their legal sufficiency at trial?

4.  What right do business owners have to defend their property against large groups of people who have the unquestionable intent of destroying their property, especially when that property is a business that provides the financial support for that person and their family?  Do those rights include allowing persons to work on their behalf to use force to protect their property from violence and destruction?  

5.  What rights to vandals have to not experience physical resistance to their attempts to vandalize and destroy property that is business property providing the economic sustenance of business owners and their families?  What lawful actions can be taken to quell disturbances once they start?  Are vandalous mobs to be allowed to wreck their damage with the only possible remedy being to film them and arrest them later?

I have not made up my mind about what I privately think about Kyle Rittenhouse's guilt and innocence.  His case is complicated, and I am willing to allow a trial to decide this.  I'm not going to treat him as a hero, but I'm not going to treat him as a murderer, either; the latter is far from proven, and it's being shrieked in no small measure because the Left wishes to preclude all resistance (including lawful and legitimate resistance) to their criminal violence.  

Who asked you anything? You believe you are a lot more important than you really are. I don't care about your questions, because my opinion is that Kyle Rittenhouse deserves to rot in some filthy cell and if that hurts your feelings that is just too bad.

How Larynzo Johnson, the person that allegedly shot two (2) police officers in Louisville?  Does he deserve to rot in jail?  I mean he hasn't been tried yet, but neither has Kyle Rittenhouse.  I'm willing to wait for his trial, but you won't wait for Rittenhouse, so I'll ask you to weigh in now on Larynzo Johnson?  Should he rot in jail?

Now if you wish Larynzo Johnson a fair trial, I'm all for that.  Just explain why you oppose a fair trial for Kyle Rittenhouse.

Call me when Larynzo Johnson gets a standing ovation for his actions at a Louisville Democratic fundraiser.

There is a mountain of difference between saying the kid deserves a fair trial and lionizing him as a hero as the Republican party is.

Seems a bit suspicious that people like Fuzzy, and I think other Atlas posters have done it in the past, insist on dehumanizing the protesters by calling them stuff like 'scum'. They obviously are making a conscious decision to use this term, so don't try give me the BS that I am the one being a PC liberal. No, I'm just a decent, tolerant person, who yes believes that Black Lives Matter.

Rioters deserve to be called scum.

So do murderers

Self defense is not murder. The only murderers this summer anyone has cheered have been Democrats.
