Probably time for a Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

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.

I know it's off topic, but this here is the best post I've seen. Can't fault or dispute any of it. Except for the Utopia bit, we'd (as a collective whole) have still found a way to fuck things. But at least we'd be fucking things on a galactic scale.

Unless you're a bible thumper, then it's codswallop.

Been watching all day today.

My heart goes out to Rittenhouse.

He dominated on the stand today.

Also, is it true the real reason Kyle took a gun was cause his mom wouldnt let him have a skateboard?

Sorry late to this convo, had a lot of stressful RL stuff going on

Some points:

- The brain in males is not fully developed until around the age of 24-25. This includes the frontal lobe, which is responsible for complex behavioral performance. it is also responsible for thinking/planning ahead, such as exploring possible outcomes of our decisions both in the short term and the long term. This is why teenagers are very "in the moment" and seem to not care about the consequences of their actions. Their brain is actually not built to fully explore and comprehend those consequences. Teenage males also have hormone imbalances, which is why some can develop permanent gyno as a teen due to random spikes in their testosterone level. These hormone imbalances cause teenage males to engage in more risk taking behavior

All of this is why we will never have 17 year old boys being cops. All of this accounts for why a 17 year old boy thought it was a good idea to get a gun and NO LESS LETHAL means to go protect other people's property and possible render medical aid. He wasn't thinking ahead about how this might result in people dying at his hands, because his brain wasn't developed enough to be clearly thinking about those outcomes

He wanted to grab a gun and a first aid kit and go be a hero. It was a mistake, plain and simple


Other points:

- Going for someone's gun can be a legal reason to shoot them. Even aggressively coming at someone can be reason to defend oneself with a gun, depending on the threat and the situation. Anyone here who thinks that an unarmed person is not a serious threat, I welcome to simulate a situation with me where I put my hands on you with the intent to kill and see how you fare. I'm 6'0 ~200lbs with a decent amount of martial arts and mma knowledge. One or two hard blows to the head after I get you down, with your head prone against concrete, and the trauma I can do to your brain could easily end your life, and I don't need a gun or knife to do it

We can also play "what if" scenarios all day considering typical mob behavior. If these guys were not physically imposing individually but there were multiple of them all behaving aggressively, I think it is perfectly reasonable to assume that I could be knocked out by a sucker punch or a thrown object like a skateboard, then when I am knocked out some noodle-armed antifa soyboys kicks or stomps my defenseless head a few times. That could mean death. If people would like, I can post a video of the guy trying to defend his store with a crossbow during the George Floyd riots. He eventually gets knocked out, then a few people run up and stomp on his head as he's on the ground. He begins doing the "death snore" which is the noise you make when your brain is shutting down due to severe trauma and internal damage but your brainstem is still attempting to tell your lungs to breathe, resulting in a loud snoring sound. Usually that's the last noise they'll make

Also, one of the people he shot was quoted earlier in the night by a witness as saying "if I see you alone, I'll fucking kill you" to kyle and others near him


So it's been said by others already, but in my opinion Kyle made a GRAVE mistake trying to be a hero, but I personally do not see much fault in his attempt to defend himself. If it were my son, there would still be hell to pay

Hmm I have never in my lifetime seen an 18 year old cop

list of places that you can be a cop at 18:
Rhode Island[1]

Wisconsin[2]

Louisiana[3]

Montana[4]

Arkansas[4]

Georgia

Ah, that's why, in my state it's 21. I wouldn't trust an 18 year old cop to be effective at dealing with high risk of escalation situations. But that's just me, I see the worst of the worst teenagers in my job

Ya. And the more the media keeps portraying them as power tripping racists the less people that will want to be cops. Maybe states can't legally change their minimum age requirements (yet) but in an attempt to get staff numbers back up they can and will become looser with their hiring qualifications, resulting in shittier overall cops

I've noticed some Dems in this thread mention that we don't need vigilantes trying to be cops. Wait until PD response times start going up due to cop shortages...the longer those get, the more people will feel forced to take matters in their own hands

I have a 9mm but don't carry it, to my dad's side of the family big dismay. I have quite a lot of confidence in my self-defense strategy: I bet I can run faster scared than you can mad

I'm pretty fast both off the line and my distance running is excellent; if I break away, you ain't gonna catch me. Holding a rifle like Kyle did is only going to slow me down [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
