The whole world is stupid right now. People used to mock "alternative facts", but now they don't even blink an eye when articles like this post fake and false information. I've even seen an article that purported to quote him as saying "stupid female', which obviously didn't happen. The right-wingers would be doing the same zombie garbage to Biden or anyone with a D next to their name. You guys all think you have to become just like the enemy in order to fight them.

I love you, RegallyMyDead. You're the most consistent and funniest troll on the Drudge Retort. No one else even comes close.

"four letter word starting with N."

We all know that 'Nazi' has become the four-letter N-word, used as a slur for anyone someone disagrees with.

"I post on several platforms including my own"

Based on your posting style, I suspect I might be familiar with one of those political platforms, which has a lot of pro-Russia posters on it.

I've crossed a number of borders in my time, and the Canadian border agents at the Niagara Falls crossing were probably the unfriendliest that I encountered.

It was obvious from the beginning that's what they were doing, and they knew it. The photo-op with a chainsaw is incontrovertible proof. This is why we can't have nice things.

Got a link to a non-paywalled source?

Whether or not she can find people who are actually arguing in good faith is another matter, but I think that she is sincere. I fully expect that right-wingers here and elsewhere will start bashing her soon, when she fails to pass their litmus tests.

Why do police put bullets in their guns? It doesn't mean they want or are planning to shoot someone every time they walk out on the street with a loaded gun.

The U.S. will likely default on its debts before the end of the current presidential term.

Comey don't play dat.

"What good is a deterrent if you're not willing to use it?"

Many deterrents are often based on bluffs, making someone believe there will be harsh consequences for a specific behavior regardless of whether or not there will be. We don't know how Kyle would have used the gun against someone simply for looting. It could have ranged anywhere from simply brandishing the weapon and giving a verbal warning to firing warning shots to actually shooting them. All of those are just hypothetical, unlike using the gun in self-defense when he was being violently attacked by multiple people, which the video evidence clearly showed, and the jury believed was most likely the case.

At best, you can probably make a case that he wanted to use it in a posing manner as deterrence against looters.

"Absolutely agree. Voicing opposition is one thing; threats are outrageous and should be condemned, no matter the source."

Congratulations on your nomination for the Self-Retorting Retort of the Decade Award with these two statements.

"All the deniers can head to their local hospital, to be fitted with an intubation tube..."

Why would they want to do that, especially when a significant percentage of Covid deaths were caused by medical errors when people were panicking and overreacting to it?

"Ye Olde, 'both Totalitarians Do It' obfuscation."

You can disagree with people like Rittenhouse playing citizen cops, but to call them Totalitarians is basically an admission that you believe anyone who opposes anarchists burning down local business is a Totalitarian.

Of course, you don't really believe that; you're just taking that position in this case because you're partisan ---- and a hypocrite.

"if he went somewhere to shoot someone"

You would not even be entertaining this narrative, if not for

1. Kyle's skin color
2. That he apparently belongs to a stupid political movement that you disagree with, as opposed to a stupid political movement that you do agree with.

#198 - ???

If Rittenhouse had been a socialist or a new black panther, nobody would be complaining about him carrying a gun in public.

Thanks for standing up and admitting you fully endorse this behavior.

"This isn't a freaking game show with a timer, boss, and this site is full of hall monitors. I'm not going to go back to unpack what "this sort of behavior" means. I got work to do."

You obviously have time to type out all this other stuff. It can't be that time consuming or difficult to respond to a simple question about something directly mentioned in the article that was posted.

"Violence by individuals with or without badges sucks.
Racism sucks.
AR-15s in the hands of unhinged mental juveniles suck.
Murder sucks. Most deaths suck.
History shows that most civilizations become sucky sooner or later, and that history is even written by the winners.
Imagine if history were written with the input of the 99 percent of the people who lived through it. It would be much different."

Agreed.

Can we at least agree this sort of behavior is unacceptable and should be condemned?

So, we know that the OP and the A_Friend alias think the behavior is acceptable. I'll give everyone else in this thread until the end of the day to address the question.

I've never subscribed to the idea that Christians were "better" than other religious groups. I was referring to the fact that far more people were taken out of Africa by Arabs than Europeans, far more died crossing the Sahara than the Atlantic, and that they routinely did things like castrating/sterilizing the male slaves. Europeans did not invent this sort of thing. It was going on in every inhabited continent, long before Europeans came to the Americas.

Rittenhouse, whose 2020 acquittal for killing two people during a Black Lives Matter protest made him a lightning rod in American politics, was scheduled to headline the NEPA Republicans Freedom Event on Nov. 22 at the Woodlands Inn and Resort in Plains Township, Pennsylvania. But the gathering was derailed after the venue reported threats against its staff, according to organizers.

"The Woodlands indicated that they were receiving threats from people opposing Kyle speaking, so they withdrew their venue from the event."

"behavior that's been clearly present since, oh, Europeans came to the Americas"

If you're referring to slavery and how people of African descent were treated, check out the Arab/Muslim slave trade, and compare.
