1. You have missed the point.

Entirely. Goodnight.

[ShazzieB]

2. Way to totally miss the point, dude.

13. that is exactly the way racist repukes think

yup

[IzzaNuDay]

3. I don't give AF what crimes the deceased committed!

Regardless of their crimes, they were served in a court of law. Apparently they both served their time and faced consequences. Neither of which KR will ever do.

KR didn't know the histories of the deceased, nor should he. He did not have to serve as executioner for people who served their time. KR had no credentials for carrying an assault weapon nor using it

This is victim blaming, and the dead cannot speak for themselves.

8. This

I was trying to think of response but you said it better than I could've. I can't believe some of the stuff I've read on DU lately.

4. Chill out. I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks you're a scumbag.

Maybe they can justify shooting and killing you too?

All I know is that it wasn't Kyle's job to go down there with a gun, intimidate and then kill. Vigilante justice is still vigilante justice even if the person did some horrible things. Once you cross that line and start accepting it, you open the door for other people to turn around and kill those who might not be, as you say, scumbags.

5. Why are we promoting and posting links to right wing propaganda sites like this WI site?

7. Go find another link then

Their criminal history is well documented.

10. I think it's against DU rules to post right wing propaganda. I guess you're opting for a jury vote.

14. It is against the rules.

9. Exactly I looked it up, this is a RW site

[Skittles]

11. WTF

Rittenhouse did not know the background of the accused so it is IRRELEVANT

how can any progressive think like this? That justice should be meted based on the worthiness of the victims

that is just FUCKED UP

12. That doesn't give citizens the right to kill them.

I believe in redemption. The guy who tried to stop an active shooter became a hero.

15. No matter what side of the argument a person is on...

…that is a terrible argument.
