Probably time for a Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

I'm surprised Kyle hasn't been basically institutionalized and under the scrutiny of psychiatrists and children's protective services daily.

Or has he? Like. No offense but I had the hammer dropped on me as a kid. So I know what is possible.

When you're a media spectacle they drop different hammers. When you're under the radar they throw you under the bus. 100%

Rittenhouse-stans around here refuse to answer a simple question:

Would you agree the use of deadly force to protect property would justify murder charges under Wisconsin law?

Nuh uh, I'm sallying from the Motte.

It's possible. I suppose you can charge anyone with anything though.

As a society we are at a big tipping point. Especially Wisconsin's as to who and what and where and when and how the authority for deadly forces.

It's an important discussion to have.

I don't think children should be put or allowed in situations where the cops and national guard should have been. And when we crucify a 17 year old over this. We are basically passing our guilt and condemning civilians to the neglectful authority of their police and governance. Children to the negligent authority of their parents.

In 1930 Kyle would have been a man. And doing his duty. Perhaps we are heading in the opposite direction yet with a state which won't do its duty. Instead passing it on to children and then burning them at the stake for taking any action at all. Right wrong or indifferent.

Maybe I'm a bit sensitive because I have been in similar situations to Kyle's and those could have turned out worse. And the police weren't there for me either.

Kyle would deffo want a new Red server. Amirite.

I like how he fake cried without shedding a single tear. His acting coach must be disappointed. Tugg Speedman.

I wonder where the phrase "burn the witch" comes from? Is it purely literary, historical, philosophical? All three?

Basically the catholic church banned anything science related, because as more people figured things out, it undermined their authority.

So if you were a practitioner of any science that did not affirm the divine right of the church, you were labeled a heretic, then in western cultures it was witches.

Fuck the catholic church for forcing 500 years of dark ages upon the world, if it werent for those creepy pedos in their pointy hats desperately clinging to their pyramid scheme revenue streams for 5-6 centuries, humanity would have already conquered the solar system and beyond, cured all disease, and actually have a real shot at a cohesive utopia.
