Rittenhouse trial…

it is a proven fact

It's a falsehood as you surely must know.

@no1marauder said
That's up to the jury, not you.

It's the jury's opinion that matters (unless the judge overrides it), but I can have an opinion too.

I know there were some riots.

I know there were acts of arson during them.

I also know that "large portions" of cities were not "burned to the ground."

You're just quibbling over the word "large."

If "large" means as a percentage of the cities, you're right. If "large" simply means many buildings and areas, you're wrong.

The damage chronicled in this article seems pretty darn extensive, though obviously doesn't amount to half of the Twin Cities.

No, you have to Mind the Mob. Like in Suzianne’s post re Atlas Shrugged. Dagny Taggart wants to do her own thing. But, libs hound her to do their thing.
Does that even make sense? Remember we are bantering with people who say rich people should pay their fair share (they already pay over 50%… That in itself does not sound very fair )….but libs never say what that should be.
They will not venture on exact number, because on the face of it, if you pay 40% , and I pay 50 or 60%, that is not fair to me. They must chew the hell out of their pillows.

Aweww, Man, You deflect as do Suzanne and marauder. So you cannot respond to my common sense of going into a safer place than a bar full of strangers? That, it might be worthwhile to invest in a private club for safety sake. You see what good it did Rittenhouse, to go where there was no privacy.
The issue, please?

I was just posting a comment on that little place between your numerous (silly) analogies and your reality where you have created your own delusional little paradise from which you spill all your nonsense into this forum.

Other than that, I have no comment to offer to the subject matter of this thread.
I'm waiting for the final word from your justice system.

The jury was there for all the evidence, the closing arguments and the judge's instructions.

You weren't.

Not a "quibble" at all.

It's a right wing propaganda point to greatly exaggerate the scope of the damage while also falsely attributing it to a non-violent organization that tens of millions of people marched in support of.

There was extensive damage to small areas of certain metro areas, but nowhere were large segments of even those areas "burned to the ground." So you and the other right wingers are repeating an obvious falsehood.

How does it feel to be so persistently ignorant?

You missed my note above, that Granny Plum no longer has a grocery store or drug store.....maybe no gaming venue or pool room. Marauder, lets go visit her and ask her about her 'town'. Geez. Hell, I would imagine she has never been 3 blocks from her house. Her town, is leveled.

I got to the phrase above, 'non-violent' and just set this-here computer down, some things are just too much. And of course, void of avenues of response.

You weren't.

And you've never made a judgment on the guilt or innocence of any person unless you were in the jury box?

I'll remember that next time a Trayvon Martin-type situation comes up.

Yes and try to remember a bit better.

I've said for years I'm reluctant to give an opinion on such matters.

The article gives an estimate of 20 million Americans having marched in support of BLM.

The conversation was actually about right wing lies, like the whopper you told in your latest post.
