I bet he and my old college roommate would get along nicely since he always fantasized about race wars (once he came to accept that a zombie apocalypse wasn't very likely)

Also, see Kyle Rittenhouse is a case of someone putting themselves in that situation. He CHOSE to go from where he lived in Illinois to Wisconsin. It's not like he was just in the area and got attacked or anything. He could've stayed his ass back in Illinois, and none of this would happen. So, I hope he doesn't get off on self defense, since he had zero fucking business even going that far, with a gun(that he can't legally have) and chose to cause problems. Put him away.

This is where its going to get messy legally. His parents are the ones who live in Illinois, and he actually lives like 15 minutes away from the area the shooting occurred. Antifa even doxed his Wisconsin address. Should he have been out there? No. However, many people are getting angry that people are allowed to keep burning down towns. The scary thing is, this was a 17 year old kid. Now, will this embolden more people to start doing this? Some people are even calling this kid a hero. Trust me when I say this, there is absolutely nothing fulfilling about taking another human's life. Nothing to celebrate. Even the hardest warriors even question their actions in the future.

I bet he and my old college roommate would get along nicely since he always fantasized about race wars (once he came to accept that a zombie apocalypse wasn't very likely)

I see several of those types of shit heads on Facebook. This isn't a race war, but a class war. People are too stupid to see that.

Was he in Illinois before hand or was the reports he traveled there wrong? He could try and say he was just trying to get home as a defense. Not sure if it would stick or not. I seen he has been charged with I think I read first degree murder. I’ll keep my eyes on it. I just know personally, I wouldn’t go looking for trouble, because then you’re defense can’t really be self defense at that point. It’s gonna be messy.

Blaze, sorry im not directly quoting you but my phone is acting up.

I have read contradicting reports, depends on the biased nature of the source. What I have been seeing mostly is he lived in Wisconsin, and Antifa did Dox his Wisconsin address. I think i read that he fled to his parents residence up in Illinois after the incident.

As far as what he was doing there, I have read and seen videos where he has some type of medical training and was there to render aid to those injured by rioters. Hence why he had on the latex gloves. Not sure if I believe that to be the truth or people getting the story "Straight " for legal purposes. No way a 17 year old kid should have been out there. No way a bunch of idiots should have chased some one with a long rifle. No way someone should attack someone with a damn skateboard and point a pistol at someone with a long rifle.

Making this kid out as a heroic symbol is going to be a dumb mistake. The other side of the protests are going to be a lot heavier armed than the larpers burning down cities.

Hey so tapes have now come out. Trump knew how serious COVID was going to be in February and purposefully played it down to "prevent a panic".



Also fuck Woodward for concealing these tapes until now.

Anyways, discuss.

A real politician would have over-exaggerated it so they could talk about how awesome they were for solving it.

Man, what the actual fuck.

People who trusted him died, people who bought into his BULLSHIT died.

Bit of a devil's advocate bc I don't know how true this is at all or if I believe it. But I don't think it'd be hard to rationalize a "what they don't know" perspective where you trust or assume that you can get the virus taken care of and it would be more beneficial to keep the public from panicking over nothing than inform them of it.

Never a fan of those options myself and think they don't work in the information age we live in. Also think the most likely reason is bc Trump subscribes to the "if I don't mention it, it's not real" philosophy.

The way I think to handle it, would be to say something like just to be safe try and follow these guidelines. Then we’ll have the guidelines that was put out for this. You don’t have to sit here and say it’s going to be really deadly, but don’t say it’s going away either. Go somewhere in the middle until you know for sure how bad it is, and at that point you gotta do something, not keep down playing it.

Anyone have an opinion on Direct Energy Weapons (DEW)? A lot of speculation that this could be the cause of some of the recent forest fires on the west coast. I'm looking into them myself now, but if anyone wants to discuss it, I'm down when I brush up a little more on it. It is very i nteresting so far.
