I mean, maybe that type of escalation can be lethal. Do you think?

Like I posted, he created the circumstance where he was then able to discharge his weapon
and he was abetted by the local and state police when they did nothing to discourage
people from arming themselves while at the protest. In fact they encouraged him and the rest of the gun
toting crowd.

Jack, he is a banker
and Jane, she is a clerk

Rittenhouse: Judge rules people he shot can't be victims but they can be called arsonists or looters - Quest4twelve - 10:24am 10/29/21 (56) [View All]

- In a self defense case, it’s common not to allow the victim designation. Not so sure about that - Frank L - 2:01pm 10/29/21

  - Of course he had the gun for the purpose of using it. That's why you carry a gun. - NDavenue - 5:20pm 10/29/21

      - No he's not forgetting that - were any of those protesters charged with harming others? - jimbasil - 1:07pm 10/29/21
  - It seems reasonable to use a gun to defend yourself. [NT] - notredame678 - 12:41pm 10/29/21
    - Especially if you bring a gun to a volatile situation where two sides of a protest could clash. - jimbasil - 12:48pm 10/29/21
      - I guess those without a gun should not have attacked him. [NT] - notredame678 - 12:52pm 10/29/21

        You get butthurt, start crying all over your replies and then use ad hominems like 'her' thinking - Quest4twelve - 1:30pm 10/29/21

- Seems like the point of this trial is to determine who should be called a victim. - Iggle - 12:05pm 10/29/21
  - Then why be able to call the dead arsonist or looters? Where is the facts you know the thing - Quest4twelve - 12:29pm 10/29/21
    - Defense can only call them that if they provide evidence that they looted or started fires. - Iggle - 12:40pm 10/29/21
