- bluealienpie 4mo ago*Murderer
- otaconjh 4mo agoHe was tried by a jury of your peers though and found not guilty. I'm assuming these guys got a federal jury
- bandofthehawk 4mo agoI guess you don't believe in the concept of innocent until proven guilty?
- ks2048 4mo agoOne can believe in this concept and believe a decision (or the law) was wrong.
- bandofthehawk 3mo agoOne can also let themselves be misled by the media for political reasons. If you actually watched the trial and reviewed the publicly available evidence, and still think the jury made the wrong decision, then I agree, you have a right to that opinion. However, if you only believed he is guilty because your favorite media figures told you this, then I would say you don't actually believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty.

- MSFT_Edging 4mo agoHe traveled across state lines to attend a protest with a gun he didn't personally own. If that was self defense, so was this case.
- bandofthehawk 3mo ago> He traveled across state lines Why would you think this is even relevant? He lived close to the border, and stayed within the same metro area. > attend a protest with a gun he didn't personally own This was not illegal. > If that was self defense, so was this case So were the judge and jury just corrupt? Did you watch the videos of him being threatened and attacked, including by someone (Grosskreutz), who also had a gun?
- s1artibartfast 4mo agoStill dont see how people could have watched the videos and not seen a clear self defense angle.
- TurdF3rguson 4mo agoIt may have been self defense in the moment, but he also went out there looking for trouble and found it.
- s1artibartfast 4mo agoThat is a far cry from murder and someone shouldnt carry a gun unless they are willing to use it. Inversely, someone shouldnt attack someone unless they accept the chance of death or harm.
- TurdF3rguson 4mo agoI didn't say it was murder, I made the concession about self-defense, didn't I? A nice concession from you might be to admit that kids on your side maybe shouldn't attend protests with intention to do harm. That's basically where right and left don't see eye to eye on this.
- s1artibartfast 4mo agoYeah I agree people should not go to protests with the objective to harm or destroy. I dont think that is really the major party dividing line tho. I dont think most of the right thinks they went there with intention to harm, but to "defend". I also think many people on the "left" take issue with someone putting themselved in a situation that could require lethal self defense, particularly over property.
- TurdF3rguson 3mo agoIf someone on the left killed right wing protestors that person would not be treated like a celebrity. The reason why not is simply that violence isn't celebrated on the left like it is on the right. With the exception of Luigi and I think that's more generational than left vs right.
