Food fight!

I'm just as sorry as you are, but EO will not provide a platform for members to be uncivil to other members, regardless of how the uncivil tries to defend or rationalize it. Those who are unable to control their emotions tend to lose your ability to post in the Soapbox or even the entire site...

That's a personal attack. YOU should probably figure out a way to respond without using the word "you."

I think that about covers the personal attacks, from the looking in the mirror on forward. There is really and truly no point in bringing personal insults to the discussion. Reply to the post, not the poster. Life is so much easier when you do that.

Self Defense isn't a technicality. It's a legal defense, and one that has been a cornerstone in English Common Law since the 1400s. To "get off" on a technicality means you are allowed to go free, without facing any charge/punishment, because the technicality is something which means the trial...

As an example of that, I think it was Katy Tur of NBC who said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Self defense or not, he killed 2 people so he's guilty of murder, and he should be in prison."

Varies by jurisdiction, because the various definitions abound because the only common characteristics of “assault weapons” are that these guns are not what the prohibitionists claim them to be. But, according to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense, and the Department...

Not to be pedantic, but to be pedantic, in order to be classified as an assault rifle, it must be capable of automatic firing.

I'm petty sure it means he acted in self defense. I don't have a problem with looters and violent rioters being shot, tho.

I do think not sequestering the jury is really the only error this judge has made, and it might be enough grounds for appeal. He could declare a mistrial with prejudice, but that happens so rarely that I don't think it will happen at this point. If it was going to happen, it would have...

Mistrial, maybe possibly. Even that's not very likely given the jury has the case at this point. Jump Kick Guy's identity and the compressed video aren't likely to be thy deciding factors to the jury. Mistrial with prejudice, if that was going to happen it would have already, so I wouldn't get...

That's a pretty interesting, if not bold, accusation. Not to mention Rittenhouse is an adult male at 18 years old. Oh, wait. Is this just an attempt at a cheap shot at Gaetz? OK, I get it. Mean-spirited humor. Got it. The Left can't meme.

No, I don't think it was fabricated. But your claim that wearing a FREE AF t-shirt is somehow a stone-cold, slam-dunk, positive sign that the wearer is a white supremacist kind of stretches credulity. Not to mention reality. Well, you're kind of arrogant, but I don't think you're a White...

Soooo, you believe the slanderous propaganda the media has put forth. Interesting.

I cannot tell you anything about the article that is inaccurate. I never claimed the article was in any way inaccurate. I noted the outlet is liberally biased, used by you as a preemptive rejection of liberal news retorts. That's funny. But if you're after inaccuracies, paragraph 6 is full of...

... as he links to an article from very liberal CBC. BWAAAHAAA :JC-hysterical:

It's bad enough that the prosecutor is relentlessly trying to read Rittenhouse's mind and then conclude intent, but when he tried to do the same with the judge, telling the judge what the judge really meant in his ruling, that was just laugh out loud funny. I would never want a judge to be that...

If the prosecutor is tanking the case on purpose, because he knows it's going so badly for him, and today it sure looked like that's exactly what he was trying to do, the judge could declare a mistrial with prejudice, meaning none of those same charges could be brought against Rittenhouse again...

What difference does that make? Zimmerman instigated a conflict, Rittenhouse did not.

Everything the prosecution has done thus far has been the exact wrong thing to do. I mean, 180 degrees wrong. It's almost like the prosecutor is applying for a job in the Biden Administration.
