We have a justice system if there are crimes like that. >So most people aren't feeling much sympathy for the fact that he died. The GP said they were laughing and celebrating it, that's quite different from 'aren't feeling much sympathy for someone dying'.

Some leftists literally threw parties to celebrate the fact that Rush Limbaugh died from lung cancer. Where was the outrage then? People who think someone is worthless will celebrate their death regardless of their criminal record.

  Idk but I wouldn't be surprised. Yet if a Livestream of people celebrating Limbaugh's death was also flagged/ brought down I wouldn't be outraged either.

>We have a justice system if there are crimes like that. And robust self-defense laws for when someone poses an immediate threat and there's not enough time to go to law enforcement to help. >The GP said they were laughing and celebrating it, that's quite different from 'aren't feeling much sympathy for someone dying'. It's called "understatement." To be clear, the death of such a person, especially if it is while they are in the process of trying to assault and/or kill someone (which the evidence clearly shows) is in fact something to be celebrated. The world is a better place for his absence from it.

  Isn't it illegal for 17 year olds to carry assault rifles and point them at others (prior to the incident where life wasn't threatened) as admitted in court. > To be clear, the death of such a person, especially if it is while they are in the process of trying to assault and/or kill someone (which the evidence clearly shows) is in fact something to be celebrated. The world is a better place for his absence from it. It might also be the result of provocation by someone open carrying around an assault rifle in public, after traveling from out of state in order to specifically do that.

    > It might also be the result of provocation by someone open carrying around an assault rifle in public First off, there's no such thing as an "assault" rifle, there's just a "rifle". Stop using idiotic terms made up morons who don't know shit about weapons. Second, provoking someone who's openly carrying a firearm... yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

    > Isn't it illegal for 17 year olds to carry assault rifles It was perfectly legal for Rittenhouse to carry rifle at the time. The weapon charge has been dropped.

    What is an assault rifle?
    - Eelongate 5y ago
      I know you're being rhetorical, but since some may not actually know: If we're being pedantic: A machine-gun with a box magazine, chambered for an intermediate rifle cartridge. Rittenhouse's rifle only had two of those three characteristics. Some would have you believe the missing characteristic (being a machine-gun) is unimportant, yet that's the characteristic with the most stringent federal regulation. If we're being emotive: Any rifle that looks 'assaulty'. Obviously this is extremely subjective. It's possible to construct an assault rifle that fulfills the pedantic definition but lacks the 'assaulty' aesthetic.
