Agree, this works as long as it goes for both tribes. Looks like this kid should do some time for murder. Maybe not first degree, but damn. Then again, maybe Kyle Rittenhouse, the dipshit who shot up a BLM rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin and killed 2 men, should have done time too.

New Rule: If you voted for Trump and want to see Karmelo Anthony jailed, you have to also support Rittenhouse being jailed.

If you voted for Harris and think it's terrible that Rittenhouse got away with murder, you have to think Anthony is guilty too.

They're both innocent or they're both guilty. Anyone who argues differently is part of the problem.

Except, of course, that Rittenhouse had every right to carry where he did (unlike the little angel Karamello who brought a knife to school property which apparently isn't allowed) and only shot back in self-defence.

But when you're a dishonest leftie, you go for false equivalence and hope nobody notices.

Two punks that went looking for trouble and found it.

Rittenhouse wasn't a punk.

He may have exhibited poor judgment, but he was not a punk.

He'd spent the day helping family friends in the area repair the damage done by rioters the previous night.

OK. A 17-year-old kid with exceptionally poor thinking skills takes a powerful assault weapon across state lines. If he was helping repair damage, that wouldn’t do much good. Hammer, saw, duct tape, these are helpful for repair. Assault weapons are designed to do what he did with them—kill humans.

He did not "take a powerful weapon across state lines." He lived in one state (I think at his mother's house) and crossed the state line, where he retrieved the weapon (at his father's house, I think).

And to protect the property of his friends, who had a small business that had been damaged.

And I have to chuckle at your “powerful assault weapon” line.

Good grief.

How should we describe an AR-15 style weapon?

"Assault weapons" is the term favored by gun control enthusiasts, and was adapted from the military's terms for automatic weapons used in war. It's propaganda meant to confuse the public.

Kyle's rifle was semi-auto.

Here's a page from the NRA on the term, if you're interested:

Thanks, but I’m aware of the kind of gun it is. It is one designed to kill many humans in a very brief amount of time. Or as Sam Jackson described the AK-47 in Jackie Brown: when you absolutely, positively got to kill every MFer in the room, accept no substitute.

We can debate his intentions or what amount of threat he felt, but we can’t debate the kind of weapon it is.

We don't really know about the current case yet, but for Rittenhouse facts disagree.

You really need to read up on the Rittenhouse case, because your description is woefully inaccurate.

Rittenhouse was actually threatened by armed assailants, and in fear for his life.

Karmelo was told to move to a different chair.
