So because rioting was going on... it gives someone a license to kill people? I did not realize that not shooting other people required an above average amount of tolerance? |
Three people who actually came at him within 3 feet or less, with clear intent to harm, got shot.
Did he intentionally shoot anyone else that was going else where?
Also, you ignored my example of idiots like Binger who do not know how to handle a gun. This may come as a shock to folks like you but you can have something dangerous and yet wield it properly if you have proper training.
This is how I got banned from before but I'm gonna say it again. If Hiku or some other moderator twists what I say again and decides to ban me again, so be it. I barely give any shit what happens to my account on this forum.
So I'm going to hypothetically speak about this circumstance again. This is the same argument I gave last year.
Once again, when people burn down things that I've worked so hard for years, earnestly through honest means, and is my main source of keeping me financially afloat, they best put a bullet into my head while they burn it down or else I put one on theirs.
Just because these are "material" things that got lost doesn't mean it may not drive me into so much hardship that I may as well want to be dead. This is not an act of god that I can just let it slip. This is some fucking self-righteous idiot thinking he has the right to do it when I had nothing to do with what he's "protesting" about. Then again, I guess someone committing suicide because of such is the best outcome these asshole would want. Less chance exposure to the real victim. Media can use the victim as a puppet to say things they may or may not say.

Sarcasm aside, I see a lot of "the media lied about Kyle" posts here and on social media. The notion that the media lied about Kyle is propaganda. I consume a lot of media that is marketed towards centrist and left-wing audiences, and other than reporting on the limited information that was available at the time, I do not recall any sensationalist articles claiming he was a murderer that went out hunting for protesters (although Kyle did make some statements prior and post the incident that certainly did not help his case in the court of public opinion). I do recall a few sensationalist posts shared on Facebook around that time (as well as cringy far-left content creators trying to capitalize on the outrage), but I saw the opposite misinformation from my conservative friends and family too. It really ran the whole gamut. That's not to say there weren't distasteful editorial or opinion pieces from more mainstream sources, or the occasional reporting of information that later proved to be factually inaccurate. But anecdotally, I did not encounter any of those. And that's part of the insidiousness of the claim. It's nigh impossible to refute or support, but people believe it because the narrative is convenient. Someone can compile a list of "problematic articles", but people are going to just disagree on the nuance of language, for example, crying bias over Kyle being referred to as a "killer". And all of this is just an excuse to claim it's the medias fault, rather than acknowledge that half of the country's outrage is actually being fueled by differing opinions on the roles guns should play in society, the value of life, and the intersection of race/justice/police (I acknowledge that last point is loaded, because people are quick to point out that everyone was white in the Kenosha incident, but the contrast of the incident is hard to ignore considering the cultural climate the event took place in). To put it more simply, people are not okay with the idea of vigilantes with guns policing our towns. People are not okay with them getting to use the law as a shield when they get into trouble with people who are not okay with them being vigilantes. |
It's not about differing opinions when you have the media companies with a very broad viewership or readership are preaching things that never happened in the trial. All just to keep the narrative alive. Not to mention race baiting by injecting inexistent racial elements into this case. It's not even the media only doing this. Hollywood personalities, sports athletes, senators, the fucking POTUS. They all keep making statements as if there were racial factor in this god damn incident when it's 3 white men that got shot. Even The Independent made a Freudian slip and made it so that Kyle Rittenhouse incident involved 3 black men getting shot.
So please. Spare me the bullshit.
