The far right is getting what they always wanted (Rittenhouse ). the right to kill us outright [View all]

from standing by their houses and pointing guns at people marching down a street.. to out right hunting people down.. As someone who marched in the 70's.. I never worried about the people in the street who disagreed with us.. they yelled they screamed.. but I was never afraid that they would pull out some type of weapon and cause me bodily harm.. the police, well that is a different question..

In the last 15 years I have been watching this second amendment crap keep developing.. I have argued with people in DU about it..

Someone can disagree with me.. but no one has a right to kill me because I have a different political view .. we are in a brave new world my friends..

And whose life is feeling threatened (this is apparently the reasoning they were using to dismiss the Rittenhouse case)... I think the two dead men and the wounded man are the ones who are threatened.. they are dead and injured..
