    It’s so funny how conservatives won’t flush their turds and then will try to convince everyone that they’re actually Snickers bars.

        The right keeps moving head over heels to defend and support shitty people, instead of admitting that perhaps they’re not people worth defending when they prove themselves to be consistently awful. It’s not a good look for the right.

        I don’t get why that’s a difficult concept to understand. Bad apples spoil the entire bunch.

    Do people recognize the differences between him stating what happened when rioters were threating his safety of person, and him bragging about shooting someone?

      What I always found interesting is he shot three people and at least two were felons. Only at a democrat riot could you get odds like that. The third one was carrying an illegal weapon when he tried to shoot rittenhouse. Rittenhouse is lucky he survived. I don’t think he’s a hero. Just a kid attacked by violent people who he had to defend himself against. Had the police done their job, the riot would have been broken up and most likely nobody would have been shot

        I am in full agreement with you, except Idon’t believe any weaponis illegal. Only how it is used that can be deemed illegal, but carrying it, no, because it is an inanimate object.

          He was a carrying it concealed without a permit. That’s illegal. It’s possible he was a felon as well which makes carrying a weapon illegal.

            I’m against permits and asking for permission to have something. No object is illegal, only how it is used. If it is about preventing all homocide, the country must ban citizens having knives, wrenches, hammers, bats, lighters, torches, etc. It’s a cultural problem, a moral problem. There is no reason inviduals can’t buy a fully automatic, and RPG, or a tank if they haave the money, if someone trained and skilled in proper use in a responsibility. In previous generations, children or minors knew how to handle the family firearms, including cleaning and maintenance. It’s a problem of society cultural rot.

              You have no issues with Gaige having a firearm even with his criminal past and trying to harm innocent people? I have a huge issue with that.

      He isn’t. He was a liberal kid, trying to do the right thing and several people attacked him. He defended himself and the liberals turned on him.

        Broke federal law having another buy a weapon for him, crossed state lines with an unregistered weapon with the specific intent to brandish and incite.

        He is the reason people should be armed, so they can shoot criminals like him.

          You realize most of this is misinformation.

          You have a cite he crossed state lines with a weapon? What specific crime is that? What is an unregistered weapon? Can you cite the applicable state law?

          Let’s see you back up these claims

          Being gifted guns by your family is legal and protected.

          Crossing state lines with a gun is legal.

          Gun registration isnt a thing in America.

          He was there to defend local businesses.

          He defended himself from a man who chased him and grabbed his gun, from amother man who struck hin with a skateboard, and from yet another man who pointed a glock at him.

          He was rightfully found not guilty on all charges. And yes, he is a great example of why people should be armed, a perfecr example of self defense.

              A skateboard to the head can kill. What, would you really take a skateboard to the head and do nothing about it? Maybe call the cops and give them a report from the hospital?

              Where did he brag about it? A skateboard to the head would cause serious injury or death. Yes, I would shoot someone trying to hit me with a skateboard.

            He never crossed a state line with a gun. While it is legal, it never happened.

            He also showed great trigger discipline and accuracy. He only shot the targets he was trying to shoot and didn’t hit any bystanders.
