Another supposed self-defense killing that happened on
5 November is in the news.
Why people continue to antagonize someone who has a gun
is beyond me.
There is a video in this article.
From the Daily Mail:

Yeah realistically we are not gonna take away the guns already legally purchased, but we can restrict where they can be carried.
we helped save lives by restricting where people can smoke. we can do the same with guns
Not in Texas. We don't even need a license to carry our
guns anymore, either openly or concealed. Anyone over
the age of 21, unless otherwise prohibited, can carry
where it is not restricted.
But who is going to be checking if someone brings a gun
to a school or hospital.
These nuts around here are going to carry their guns
EVERYWHERE.
I'm amazed that there hasn't been an increase in mass
shootings. I think that is because of COVID and once
we get back into full swing, those will start occurring
more frequently.

Impossible? No we can not get ALL the guns off the street but we can get most of them off the street and reduce the number of murders.
We have more guns than people, there's something
like 400 million guns in the U.S.
So this is an awful problem, especially when some of
those guns are in the hands of criminals, mentally
unstable, drug abusers, etc.
It will be difficult getting even a small percentage of
guns off the street, other than the guns that should
be confiscated during stop and frisk, which I hope
is in effect where needed.

So, if you are white and republicans you are a racist, and if you are Black and republican you are a soulless sellout? Does that sound right?
If you are Black and republican, then you are considered as a white supremacist.

It appears the hero treatment is just getting started.
Meeting with the former POTUS. Rumored to be offered congressional internships. Money pouring in from white supremacists.
I hope this dog whistle doesn't turn into a bullhorn.
You crack me up when you call everybody a white supremacist.
Can't people just send some money to the boy's defense fund
because they want to help?

I usually do not watch music award shows but insomnia forced me to watch this one.
it was great to see the following AfroAmericans recognized for their contributions to music:
- Tina Turner
- Jay-Z
- Charley Patton
- Gil Scott-Heron
- LL Cool J
- Billy Preston
- Clarence Avant
The house band was led by music director Adam Blackstone and they were on fire.
The fantastic Jennifer Hudson would have made Aretha Franklin proud with her rendition of "Natural Woman".
I think Tina Turner was proud of H.E.R. and Mickey Guyton singing songs in tribute to her excellence.
It's a long show but thanks to technology, it's possible to catch the highlights and skip the filler.

I am with @Troy about the insomnia, mine
never forces me to do anything, and I could
think of fifty other things to do, including
washing dishes.
I like J-Hud but I would have rather listened
to a recording of the real Aretha, and not
some wannabe imitation.
But I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you
for sharing your experience. I'm going to
see if there will be an encore presentation,
otherwise known as a re-run.

@Mzuri, capital punishment is not an option in this case. Life imprisonment is the maximum these defendants are facing.
No capital punishment?
Well, then I hope their ass gets shanked.
That would work for me.

It was rumored that one of the defense attorneys asked for a plea deal. There's nothing to corroborate it.
He probably wants a plea deal so that he won't be executed.
I hope his ass fries like KFC in the electric chair or whatever
the Georgia method of getting rid of scum is.
But the truth is, every time that I have tuned into this trial, it
sounds like they are trying to blame something on Arbery.
The last witness I listened to was a woman that lives on that
street, she testified about how her across the street neighbor
called her house to say that she saw someone on her security
system.
WTF any of that has to do with those murderers chasing and
shooting Arbery is beyond me.

The verdict is in and the defendant has been found not guilty on all charges.
I missed the announcement this morning. I'm usually glued to
my television but I was busy with something else this morning.
When I turned my TV on and saw the verdict, I was expecting
to see riots. I hope that there won't be any riots about this.
I was able to rewind to when the verdict was announced and
saw the judge dismissed all charges, not sure if that dismissal
supersedes the not guilty verdict.
I hope that BLM will stop their jury tampering by threatening
violence when verdicts don't go the way they would prefer.
And I wish more people would be informed with facts and
not speculation and fake news.

Apparently it doesn't happen too often in Oklahoma but a man hours away from the needle got a stay of execution from the governor.
I didn't realize Oklahoma has the highest incarceration rate of AfroAmericans and a strong record when it comes to carrying out executions.
My 1st thought is how or why a black person would live in, er, commit any crime in the state of Oklahoma knowing the chances of being locked up are guaranteed.
Nonetheless, while the man's life has been spared, he will still spend the rest of it as Jay-Z rapped, locked up, behind bars.
The family can also breathe a sigh of relief for their loved one knowing he's stilll alive and they can keep sending money for cookies and candy bars.

I am not familiar with this case, I just read about it a couple
of days ago where Kim K was supposedly trying to save him.
I also read that the condemned gentleman professes his
innocence. Maybe that's why he got the reprieve, the
Governor isn't sure he's really guilty.
If a person is definitely guilty of a heinous crime, I believe
they should be executed. But if there is doubt where guilt
has not been proved, only circumstantial evidence is being
used, or flakey eyewitness testimony, then it's better to
let the prisoner live.
Our judicial system is flawed, too many innocent people
have been executed and that is horrible.

People should not be showing up at the courthouse with weapons.
And especially not if they don't even have a license. He should
have been arrested.
They are saying that the longer it takes the jury to deliberate, the
more likely that Rittenhouse will be convicted, so he may be going
to jail after all.
I hope not, but we shall see.

Castle doctrine (defense of habitation) allows us to use deadly force in protecting our homes. That's not applicable to this case.
The police force is supposed to respond when folks riot, burn and loot. If the situation is beyond police control, the national guard is the next line of defense.
There's no reason for a teenager to pack a weapon and roam the streets. That reads like someone looking for trouble.
Of course defending the home is not applicable
in this case, I only brought it up because it does
not matter what your opponent is armed with,
in a self-defense case.
Take the Zimmerman vs Trayvon case, Trayvon
was not armed, but he overpowered Zimmerman
and had him on the ground.
Nobody thinks Trayvon should have been shot,
but the jury decided in favor of Zimmerman.
I don’t know what will happen in the Rittenhouse
case, but he had a whole mob chasing and
attacking him. He acted in self-defense.
Anyway, I only started this thread because you
brought this topic up in another discussion.
I am curious to see the outcome of the trial and
I hope there is no rioting in cities all over the
world.
Riots accomplish nothing other than ruining
people’s lives.

Most states do not have laws that allow folks to shoot someone for punching them in the face or stomping on their head.
Again, nobody appointed that boy to protect anything. He wasn't deputized to be law enforcement. He had no business being there with an assault rifle.
Really? I did not know that.
Well, here in The State of Texas, if a mofo
breaks into your home while you are in it,
you have the right to shoot him. Dead.
You don’t have to wait and see if he is going
to punch you or stomp you or rape you or
anything else.
I am not sure where else you can legally shoot
somebody in Texas, but I am going to research
that as soon as I can.
Who appointed BLM to burn, loot, and cause
a bunch of mayhem?
And why is it alright for them to have all kinds
of weapons but the white boy needs to be
deputized?

Defense has filed for a mistrial

Self-defense is meeting a threat with similar force. Even if somebody went upside his head, there should have been fist-fight. No guns. Nobody would be dead.
No. The threat does not have to be similar force.
If a mofo breaks into my house, I can shoot to kill,
I am not required to wait until I see whether he is
armed with a gun.
You are saying you would let somebody jump on
your head while you are down on the ground.
And you could fight off multiple assailants with
a fist fight like a kung fu movie.
In an ideal world perhaps you could do that, but
have you ever been chased by an angry mob?
That mob saw the boy had that assault rifle, so
why were they messing with him?
Not too smart, were they?
The boy supposedly went there to protect lives
and property, since the police had retreated from
the burning and looting protesters.
He deserves a commendation.

I didn't know much about what happened there,
listening to the news I got the impression that the
white boy shot some people that were standing
around minding their own business.
I did not know the race of the people that were
shot, it never really occurred to me.
So I was watching the trial, in passing, and saw
a video where one of the men that the boy shot
was about to jump on top of the boy's head.
So, YES, he acted in self-defense.
This is the link to the video of him shooting all
three people:
GRAPHIC: Video of Kyle Rittenhouse Shooting 3 People
So far, from what I have seen, the white boy acted in
self-defense. And if I were on the jury, my decision
would be that he is not guilty of the murders.
I'm not sure about his other charges, so I have not
decided on those yet.

Facebook Stifled Freedom of Speech
From The New York Post:
“We’ve designated the shooting in Kenosha a mass
murder and are removing posts in support of the
shooter,” Facebook announced barely a week after
the event, as it began a truly epic campaign of
censorship blatantly at odds with its professed
support for free speech.
Facebook declared Kyle Rittenhouse guilty, silencing his defense in the court of public opinion
