Re: Kyle Rittenhouse

The right to self defence, what a load of bollocks.

If I’m in America and someone starts fighting me and I start fighting back at what point does it become acceptable for them to shoot me?

Re: Kyle Rittenhouse

self defence or not, if he doesn't bring a weapon to a riot in another town then 2 dead people would now be alive.

imagine if during the Tottenham riots you drive to London brandishing a weapon. if you ended up killing someone even if it was in self defence then I'm sure the British legal system would hold your actions at least partially responsible

Sigh. No, he didn't.

Smokers' wheeze Jimmy?

Makes me glad we have more enlightened gun laws in the UK

Mad isn’t it. The UK equivalent would be someone driving from Swindon with a knife to get involved in the Tottenham Riots and stabbing 3 people to death because some yob tried to take your knife off you.

No way you’re not getting sent down in the UK and rightly so

It's not the laws it's the culture.

Owning firearms in this country is 'kinda' similar in laws. The problem is the culture.

They need to go the other way and get rid of the second amendment which will never happen in any of our lifetimes

Absolutely mad and this **** is being held up as a hero of the right wing politicians for some reason. And because of how polarised everything is everyone is desperate to defend him.

The law is stupid and Kyle Rittenhouse is a ****. Any other opinion makes me question someone’s sanity.

In what ways are the laws similar?

To the law as I understand it not guilty was the correct decision but that's not to say the law isn't stupid

One massive difference. In that wandering around Swindon with a blade would be illegal. Crazily, wandering around an American city with a military style assault rifle isn't illegal.

If you want to use the fact he went armed against him, you need to use it against every other rambo wannabe who went armed to a protest.

I think this goes to the heart of the whole issue without needing to dissect the machinations of the US legal system.

This entire business of allowing marauding wannabee GI Joe's to carry even so much as a revolver, let alone a machine gun, is senseless beyond belief. Talk about the freedom to bear arms is puerile nonsense; what about the freedom stay alive rather than have your life taken away at the hands of some gun toting moron?

What on Earth goes on in these peoples' piece of tissue they use for a brain so that they think they can interfere with the work of professionals and rock up to some gig tooled up in order to enact their militaristic fantasies? And more to the point, why can't those who profess to wield power in the US not realize there are evil and powerful political puppet masters engineering this mayhem in the background?

I mean, would these numbskulls dream of commandeering their own fire engines to interfere with the work of firefighters as they are working to extinguish a dangerous fire? If not why then do they believe they have a right to interfere with the work of the police while they engage in fighting to quell nasty riots, and in so doing escalate the problem to a much higher level?

Our country is a long, long way from being perfect but I thank my lucky stars the powers that be would never ever allow such an absurdly dangerous situation to occur over here. Lethal weapons should be reserved for those that protect us and not available to the general populace full stop. This protects society at large from the immature egotistical idiot that we are all capable of being.

I can’t believe they genuinely believe that. Yeah pal you and your gun collection is the only thing stopping that. All the armies would be shitting themselves at your 5 guns.
