Trump defends accused Kenosha gunman, declines to condemn violence from his supporters

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-g...-idUSKBN25R2R1

This is all very strange, seems he just wanted to defend himself.
But if you are going to a pro-Trump demonstration, you carry an assault rifle? As a 17-year-old? Looking for trouble?

well no, if you watch it, you see Trump was asked a gotcha question by a reporter who wanted him to condemn Kyle. Trump pointed out that it looked like self-defence, which it does, but that they were investigating.

As to what Kyle was doing there, according to his defence lawyer, he was helping a friend defend his property from looting when he was isolated and attacked by an armed mob, many armed with firearms and he acted in self-defence. The videotape does seem to back that up.

But that is the way all these things go, something happens, there is an immediate rush to judgment depending on your political affiliation, but eventually the truth will come out, as you are seeing now with the Floyd case.

I found this, looks a bit different here:
https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/n...ke/5675987002/

But when the potus immediately knows what happened and defends the shooter all is wonderful.
B.t.w. did you check out sickle disease and fentanyl?

And again.

In one of my former post in this thread I mentioned shot 7 times in his back

One of your corrected me and said there was fired 7 shot against him and 4 of them hit him in the back

Just 10 minutes ago I clearly heard in the Swedish news.

It's almost a week ago since Blake was hit seven times in the back.

This is MSM

I presume I would get correct information from them.

You would have to tell me what point you are trying to make, I have not been able to figure it out.

mupac, until an official report (or press conference) is made available, I would take any information with a grain of salt. Eyewitnesses are notoriously inaccurate. (I believe they are wrong about 70% of the time.)

So, what's the verdict going to be? Guilty is my guess. Probably still be some peaceful protests (rioting and looting).

Big question: What's the sentence going to be? Anything short of hanging in the town square and we're back to rioting.

I thought the State did a good job. So I'm expecting guilty of 2nd degree murder.

No matter the verdict?



You know even if he is hung in a public square? That will not satisfy people.
I expect, and predict, massive riots.

Isn't that referred to as a mob lynching?

Depends on if you wear a white robe and hood or scream BLM slogans don't you think?
Mob lynching is not the providence of any one group.
It is open to anyone. Just depends on the twist they put to it.

Ask Maxine Waters the liberal left wing nut job Democrat from California.. Leave to the Bidenettes to shoot themselves in the foot. idiots.

WATCH: Judge Scolds Maxine Waters for ‘Abhorrent’ Comments, Says She ‘May Have Given’ Chauvin an Argument for Appeal


https://www.mediaite.com/news/watch-...nt-for-appeal/


Nelson referenced Waters’ recent comments as she joined a protest in Minneapolis that if Chauvin was not convicted that they would have to “get more confrontational,” calling it “mind-boggling” that “we have U.S. Representatives threatening acts of violence in relation to this specific case.”
Nelson had not mentioned Waters by name, but Cahill was clear on the reference he was making. “Well, I’ll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned,” the judge said, “but what’s the state’s position?”

Mr Chauvin will likely get 12.5 years same as Mohammed Nooor the Mpls. cop who idiotically shot & killed Justine Damond a few years back as she approached the vehicle, having called the police to report an assault.

To be perfectly honest it wouldn't surprise me if he went to prison and somebody killed him in there. Considering what he did, it wouldn't be crazy to wonder if someone would kill him when he got to prison since:

1. He is a former cop, he probably put some in prison, and by astronomical unluckiness he went to the same prison as a person he put away and was killed
2. He killed a person in a racially motivated crime and so someone who would take offense to his crime would probably try to kill him.

You'd think after the mess at the capital and allegations of incitement by "Trump" (hi August), people would engage their brains before their audio flappers, but hey, these are politicians and I think they are all nuts, some are rolling too far and falling off the table at all sides.
