Fighting back against a perceived threat does not automatically grant the threat justification in their violent actions, nor does it remove legitimacy from the coyote for defending itself from a perceived threat.

Rittenhouse entered the woods, laid a trap, approached the trapped animal, was bitten, and shot the trapped animal. Then he said “It was self defense! They were hunting me!”

It’s ludicrous that this was upheld in court.

I’ve only recently made the switch to Lemmy, and for what it’s worth, I’ve been using Apollo for Reddit the entire time. It’s fairly easy to set up if you check out r/sideloaded or r/apolloapp over on Reddit. Might make your money-job a bit less frustrating to work on :)

If every version of you present on a jury could be replaced with someone like me, the justice system would probably function better than it does now.

Get fucked, bootlicker.

It absolutely is considered goading. If lifting your shirt to reveal a gun holstered can be considered a threat (one that police can legally shoot you over) then carrying a rifle at a protest and starting shit with the protestors is also a threat.

He didn’t go there to make his voice heard — he went there to intimidate and kill.

People attacked him because he had a big gigantic deadly gun and was goading a literal angry mob with the gun.

It’s now more clear to me than ever that you are intentionally acting in bad faith. What is wrong with you?

Orchestrating a scenario in which the only possible outcome is self-defense by deadly force sounds an awful lot like premeditated murder, to me. I think you should reevaluate what you consider pedantry.

Violent bloodthirsty evil thug, then. Is that better for you, Herr Pedant?

Rittenhouse was not a cop, he was a douchebag little shit stirrer with a murder fantasy, and he got exactly what he wanted — a fun murder spree killing liberals with no consequences.

I’m not going to coordinate an effort to lynch the piece of shit, but spreading bullshit about how “he’s not a murderer,” like what you’re doing, is disingenuous at best. Kindly, shut the fuck up

A hunter in the woods lays a trap. A coyote walks by and gets its foot caught in the trap. The hunter approaches and the coyote bites the hunter.

You feel the coyote was unjustified?
