One of the major bits of the clusterfuck that is Kenosha...

This kid is claiming self defense -after killing a couple people and oddly enough President Trump seems to be going along with that.

...
My thoughts -

I have carried a concealed pistol - almost every day - for going on 20 years. I have not had an incident to date.

A big part of that is because I avoid areas where trouble might be likely to happen.

Like riots.

The kid is lucky I won't be on his jury - because I would likely go along with the prosecutor on this one. He could have stayed home and not been part of the problem. And - he should not have dragged a loaded gun into a riot situation. Trained professionals only do that as a last resort.

Were I the prosecutor - I would also go after whoever got him his rifle - because a 17 year old cannot legally purchase one.

He brought the fight to the crowd.

If the crowd had brought the fight to him - it would be a different story.

YOUR WORDS NOT MINE.

NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

But the trouble wasn't created by the people he shot, the trouble was created by his own fucking narcissism and fragile ego.

3 people wouldn't have been shot, and two people wouldn't be dead if Trump hadn't fucking told a teen that he had the right to play Dirty Harry.

Quite the accusation there....

Please cite where Trump said that.

....

And - don't act surprised basementboy... You have been following me around with your nose up my ass plenty long enough to hear me say I avoid trouble whenever possible - multiple times.

Trump blatantly sides with a man who kills black protesters.

And you act indignant that the mayor of the city where this takes place urges him to reconsider his visit there.

So you want to limit where people who disagree with you are allowed to travel?


And - you have a riled up bunch claiming "Trump is doing nothing!" - and don't want him to show up...

Pick one.

I want Trump to have more time in the public eye. Nobody needs to do anything to counter Trump just let him nuke his own image with crazy rants about airplanes full of people dressed in black. The people from the shadows that are controlling everything.

Wouldn't it be easier and more humane just to get the whackadoodle on the right meds?

He has handlers. It would be nice if a strategy like that worked to stop this sort of stuff - but it doesn't.

We wouldn't let it, we're too invested. We'd just normalize it, shift the window - like we've done.

There are no meds for dementia. As a person who has two parents with dementia I recognize the signs.

Supposedly the first guy he shot was shot in the back. Guess the guy was charging at him backwards.
