I stay pretty relentlessly civil, especially when discussing politics. There’s enough pointless anger out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I’m going to say this, and I don’t care what you think about it: If you are part of the lefty social media mob that thinks “Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer”, you are a flat-earther.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complicated stuff follows. Stay with me, progressives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You think someone’s trying to kill you. You shoot them – maybe fatally, maybe not. You’re arrested. The DA presses charges – assault, homicide, whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To even be allowed to *argue* self-defense for assault or homicide, you have to show a judge evidence, to a legal standard, that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s *before* the trial. If your evidence on any of those 4-5 criteria doesn’t stack up, you’ll be a defendant in a murder trial, not a self-defense trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve gotten past that? On to trial!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And there, if the prosecution disproves any of those 4-5 factors beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury? You’re going to prison – for assault if nobody died, and murder if they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s a pretty high burden of proof for a “Murderer” to skate past. (Don’t think so? That’s just ignorant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But the judge was biased”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, he wasn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
