Take the rittenhouse agenda to another locked thread and let's keep thread focus on waukesha, please.
Ziggy82 won’t be happy until he gets the thread locked. He simply cannot control himself.
I am curious though, Lenny ...You believe the Waukesha murderer leaves no doubt -- he said he wanted to kill old white people and dammit if he didn't kill old white people. He leaves no doubt for me, either. He made his state of mind and intentions very clear, he carried out his intentions, and he deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life. But Rittenhouse saying he wished he had his bleeping assault rifle so he could start shooting people ... and then actually going out and shooting people with his assault rifle ... that doesn't go toward his state of mind or intent for you?
I guess people will find outrage when they want to be outraged.
If intentionally plowing a 3500+ lb. SUV into a crowd of thousands of people, killing 6 and injuring 50+, can dishonestly be dismissed as a "car crash" or an "accident" by the media, then Charlottesville must have been nothing more than a "minor fender bender". And George Floyd was not a police killing, but merely "law enforcement overreaction". Funny, I don't recall the media rebranding or sanitizing descriptions of either Charlottesville or Minneapolis---nor should they have.
And the two Jersey Mikes in Waukesha donated 100% of sales Wednesday to community relief efforts for parade victims. North of $18,000.
They'd be comparable if Rittenhouse just opened fire on a group of completely unsuspecting people, killing indiscriminately.
Charlottesville white nationalist rally blamed for 3 deaths ...https://www.foxnews.com › charlottesville-white-nationali...Aug 12, 2017 — Video shows car crashing into Charlottesville protest. The crash occurred approximately two hours after clashes in which hundreds of people scramed, chanted, threw punches, hurled water bottles and unleashed chemical sprays on each other ahead of the scheduled noon demonstration.
Thanks for your response. Although I think you're dismissing Rittenhouse's intent and state of mind a little too easily -- the men he killed also were "unsuspecting" in that they didn't go to Kenosha thinking there was a chance they'd get killed by a person who earlier had said he'd start shooting with an assault rifle if he had one -- I do understand the distinction you've made. The folks participating in the Waukesha parade (rather than the Kenosha mayhem) obviously had even less reason to believe they'd be involved in any kind of violence, and it was a heinous act perpetrated by an evil man. I think we'll both agree that all of the deaths, in both tragedies, were unnecessary and horrible.
I found it odd the police came out and said this wasn't terrorism so quickly. I would think you'd need to investigate the killer's internet history and interview his friends and family before that could be determined.
Weird.We’ll see crickets from the people who want to blame “the media” for everything.
I think the comparison should be somewhere between the Oklahoma State parade massacre (which I admittedly forgot all about) and the Dylan Roof Charleston church massacre. OSU parade was apparently someone having a psychotic break and the Charleston massacre was someone targeting people because of their race in hopes of starting a race war, which I think would constitute terrorism. I found it odd the police came out and said this wasn't terrorism so quickly. I would think you'd need to investigate the killer's internet history and interview his friends and family before that could be determined.
It was nearly 24 hours between this occurring and cops coming out and saying this wasn't terrorism. Do you not believe they used that time to do these things? Or are they so utterly incompetent that they didn't think of it? Or is it a cover up? One of these three things must be true,
I don’t have a problem with a description that states a car crashed into a group of protesters or a group in a parade. It may not be the most precise description but it’s not inaccurate. Calling either incident an “accident” is a whole other story.
FluffScoop is not a requirement, don’t read the thread if you do not like the debate.
Racial hatered is a losing ideology for anyone that adopts it and should be admonished by all. Again, these are my opinions.
