Probably time for a Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

BUT the defendant is a NASCAR fan. Gotta make examples of them NASCAR fans.

We agree here.

I'll pretend you're not being sarcastic because I've never seen you be right before.

I wonder if the jury is listening to the pross right now like, "listen to this guy lol just give it up already."

Thanks edgelord. You must have a PHD in what 18 year old kids really look like having a giant panic attack on the stand for murder and potential life in prison for something they didn't do. I suppose you'd maintain your composure just dandy!

Calm down Strawman

From reading the youtube comments people seem split 50/50 (probably along party lines) as to whether Kyle's crying is genuine or fake

Interestingly enough, the last time I've heard of people making accusations of fake crying was following the Sandy Hook massacre, where there was a conspiracy that due to analysis of the parents of the victims "crying" in interviews, there was the thought that they were actually "crisis actors" and not even really the parents of the victims. One notable video showed a dad of a deceased victim laughing and making jokes with the interviewer before transitioning into "crying" for the interview, so people thought he was a crisis actor

Even if we are coming from the assumption that Kyle is a sociopath with no regard for human life, it would still be more plausible than not that he would show some emotion when recounting events where he believed his own life was in danger. I've also seen different people who DID get convicted of first or second degree murder appear traumatized when relating during a confession to police as to how the victims appeared as they were dying, notably the sounds and movements they were making. Even cold-hearted killers have sometimes found that disturbing, usually because they were low IQ morons who's only impression of what a human looks like as it's dying was from tv or movies. Someone that's hunted (not that I'm a big hunter or anything) usually understands that a large animal dying is not as fast, quiet, or glamorous as the movies make it out to be, and that includes us humans

I'm rambling but anyway, not gonna comment as to whether I believe his response other than that

Crying aside, does 2nd degree reckless homicide require a complete disregard for human life?

I predict there will be no riots if he gets off.

Welp...they just dropped the misdemeanor charge. All those people who were like at least he'll get convicted on that need to readjust.

am I wrong, but did this happen:

1. prosecution brought this charge up today.
2. judge pointed out nobody measured the barrel..
3. they measured the barrel, found out it was legal, and tossed that charge?

Not only is it shocking that they were charging him with something that was false, but that the defense didn't even figure that out. They all just believed the press, reporting that it was illegal without finding out if that was true.

Both scary and laughable at the same time.

I'm Libertarian anarchist, I still think we need social pograms tho to fix and help the broken and dying so they can be comfortable. And I don't know if his crying is real or not, I would aquit tho, because it sets a stupid precedent and he isn't the bad guy. There were a ton of badguys there that night and of all of them he has better character than most.

Most people wont admit that tho. It's "omg evul guns and bigotry!"

He will grow up the rest of the way to be a bigot if u throw him in jail and don't sit down and have beer with him and don't employ him.

I was just like that at his age just without a low key civil war going on in the background and I grew cute bewbs and took a selfie and had a tinder account with thirsty bois chasing me. so U NEVER KNOW.

it's clear he's no hero and a giant fuckup right now, however, so were all the parties involved i don't think he's a monster, he found hate and voilence tho because he was trying to be macho - and there were criminals all around. the left using this to justify it's own assinine behavior just about as dumb as it gets.
