That Shooter is 17...soft...never seen even close to what our real and battle-tested warrior/patriots have over the last two decades. They are SKILLED and HARDENED, and they know how to wreck the infrastructure of a whole area, in a strategic way. That young Guy's martyrdom will only fuel their own outrage.

If you are looking and waiting for "good people" and internet warriors to rise up and take the bloody fight to a level that disempowers those that are now responsible for the atrocities which you lament...forget it...won't happen. Though the good people will support such; just like they do this kid. It won't be a massive movement of 17 yr. olds or Boomer uprising that gets the ball rolling, but a relatively small handful of Pros. They listened to the John Mark Speaks Video "Why the Right will win the coming Civil War"...and they know their power. And the outcome as well, if they are forced to wield it. But that is a last resort; much collateral damage would be incurred if that path is taken. These folk know what war feels like; they hope to avoid it.

The American Revolution was started, fought and founded by a small minority of the citizenry. Many "good folk" were apathetic. Same now.

Let's hope and pray that Trump gets an electoral mandate, and the 'house cleaning' happens the less painful way. This stuff is cyclical; check out "The Fourth Turning".

Given the incredible power of the coming High Tech revolution...a wise Government will be able to be far more generous in allocating relative freedom, affluence and spiritual progress. Pseudo 'Socialism', as it were. Acquiring said wisdom, to base such systematic altruism will likely be the painful task right ahead.

Come on man. This won't happen.

This definitely needs to be addressed. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I wish there definitely needs to be accountability for these DAs.

I think OP is asking if we, as moral and caring people, are going to sit back and watch if this kid, who is clearly innocent, is wrongfully convicted? I'd like to think not. If that happened, I'd hope Trump would pardon the kid. If not, then do we let it happen? (I think that is the question from OP)

The media are outright lying about Kyle and what happened. They are not even attempting to be neutral over this. They are calling these pos criminals and commies peaceful protestors when video evidence clearly says otherwise. It’s both disgusting and infuriating.

Yea. Spot on. Not advocating for us taking up arms and starting Civil War (Jesus, some people). I’ve already played that game in another country. Just a tired vet that is pretty damn confused as to what I’m seeing in this country. And I’m only in my early 30s. I don’t recognize this fricking country anymore. Not advocating for bloodshed, as that will become incredibly clear when it gets to that point. I honestly believe more right-wing, conservative people being unafraid to voice our beliefs on social media would work wonders. Every social media platform is just an echo chamber of SJW bullshite, and we’ve allowed it to perpetuate for far too long.

Ultimately, this is a kid who defended himself and was trying to protect property. Kid would be given a medal if this were 50 years ago. They’re ready to ruin this kid’s life to appease a mob, and it’s wrong for us to sit back and watch it while griping because we know it’s wrong.

The kid is an absolute hero in my book. He obviously was well trained with his weapon and was able to meet force with force.

Im not sure we should be freaking out about what a warrant stated that was issued about 12 hours after the ordeal.

There are professionals that will comb (think spaceballs) through all of the evidence before a decision is made.

Right now they will arrest him, question him....and wait at least 48 hours for a decision on immediate arraignment or release pending a grand jury investigation.

No doubt; there is a reason that a rattlesnake rattles...to avoid a fight. 'Sabre rattling' can be a good thing; I do it to the Great Grandkids pretty often. Usually works. But only because I personally suffered, and delivered the pain a couple of times.

Thanks for your sacrifices, TD.

I see your point, but don't you think that an occasional joker-style shooting might keep some of them more in line? Letting them know people are watching and some really care? One of the big problems society has today is that there seem to be no real consequences for any wrong.

Oh hell no. I’m legitimately looking for a way to contribute to his defense and I don’t give money to anything.

I'd imagine it would get dropped down to second degree murder. And there isn't enough info to figure out whether he acted under the legal definition of self-defense or not.

Rittenhouse made more positive contributions to society on this one night than these 3 miscreants accomplished in their lifetimes.

At worst he goes to a trial by jury. Would they stack the jury? Yes. I heard they called him an armed vigilante. They asked the sheriff to deputize them. He said hell no. That would have fallen on him and the police dept. If the cops can't do their jobs, get them out of the way.
