What?So according to Double Jeapordy, KR can no longer be tried. Does that mean if KR was to go on Fox News, and start talking about how he think White Supremacy is great to him, and how he felt great killing the three Anti White Supremsist intentionally, no one can retry him even if he said that?
Current events say it has. Homicide rates have exploded in recent years. The conservative agenda to put guns in everyone's hands with the legal power to defend themselves over even the slightest provocation has failed to create a safer society. Who knew?Yeah, the old wild west days all over again. Lefties have been claiming this will happen for the last 20 years, it hasn't.

You keep voting for it.Yes, yes, those who dare fight against systemic racism are the real racists.
By that if you mean voting for an overt racist then look in the mirrorYou keep voting for it.
You mean like the 2 gangs that got in a shootout in Chicago and the DA refused to press charges because all the members of the 2 gangs were shooting? Yep, sounds like you should blame that on the wild west.Current events say it has. Homicide rates have exploded in recent years.
broken recordBy that if you mean voting for an overt racist then look in the mirror
Let me know when you're finally able to condemn the nazis at Charlottesville without blaming people who oppose naziism.You keep voting for it.
It happens.And this bitch says... :"But , but Kyle!"
‘Justice was gotten’: KC officer found guilty in 2019 fatal shooting of Black man
A Kansas City police detective was found guilty of manslaughter in the 2019 killing of a Black man who was fatally shot in his own backyard.
Jackson County Circuit Court Judge J. Dale Youngs announced his decision Friday afternoon.
Eric DeValkenaere, 43, was charged with first-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the Dec. 3, 2019, shooting of Cameron Lamb. He was convicted of second-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action.
As people left the courtroom, family and friends of Lamb hugged and cried. Many cheered.
One woman, when she heard the verdict cried, “God is good.”
DeValkenaere’s family declined to comment, as did his defense attorney Molly Hastings.
Jason Johnson, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, which provided financial support for DeValkenaere’s legal defense, said the organization was shocked and disappointed.
“Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker’s politically-motivated prosecution sets a dangerous precedent,” he said in a statement. “Police officers are not above the law but they are entitled to be held to the same standard as all citizens, not one based on political expediency.”
The detective was the first white Kansas City police officer in 80 years to face a criminal trial in the shooting death of a Black man.
“Justice was gotten today,” said Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.
During the bench trial which started Nov. 8, prosecutors and defense attorneys painted starkly different pictures of DeValkenaere and the actions that transpired nearly two years ago.
Lamb, 26, was shot after officers investigating a crash reported a red pickup chasing a purple Ford Mustang. Officers in a police helicopter spotted the truck driven by Lamb and followed the vehicle.
Prosecutors said there was no evidence that anyone had dialed 911, that anyone was hurt or that a crime had taken place when DeValkenaere and another detective arrived at Lamb’s home at 4154 College Ave.
Lamb was fatally wounded as he was backing a pickup into his garage, prosecutors alleged, saying it took DeValkenaere nine seconds from the time he walked from the front of the residence to the back of the house before he opened fire on Lamb.
DeValkenaere’s conduct was “reckless,” action prosecutors said, and violated the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures.
“The state of Missouri finds it absolutely unreasonable that he did this with a loaded gun,” said assistant prosecutor Dion Sankar. “We find it unreasonable because there was no reason to enter the private residence with a gun, because there was no pressing reason pressing him to move. That was his choice.”
During the trial, prosecutors also alleged the crime scene was staged and evidence was planted.
At the time that DeValkenaere shot Lamb, he was not armed and the gun that police said he had with him was actually inside of a staircase near the garage, prosecutors said.
DeValkenaere testified that moments before the shooting, he saw Lamb reach with his left hand for a handgun from his waistband and point towards his partner Troy Schwalm.
“My focus moves from that weapon to the center of his chest,” DeValkenaere said. “I bring my weapon and drive it towards him. And as I acquire the front sight, I discharge a round to his center mass.”
DeValkenaere said he had a duty to protect Schwalm.
He also denied planting evidence, having any other officer alter evidence or change their report of the shooting.
Defense attorney Dawn Parsons said that DeValkenaere was given no choice when he shot Lamb.
She also said DeValkenaere and Schwalm did not need a search warrant, probable cause or consent to go on the property to investigate saying under “the totality of the circumstances, they can do that.”
“Eric did what any reasonable officer would do,” she said. “He shot Mr. Lamb to save Troy’s life.”
Steven Ijames, a retired assistant Springfield police chief and expert on police practices, testified that DeValkenaere had “reasonable suspicion” and acted appropriately when he walked into the backyard of the residence to investigate a possible crime.
Lamb’s name, along with other Black men killed by Kansas City police officers, was evoked last year throughout racial justice protests in Kansas City.
I condemn all the Nazis in Charlottesville and across this country and the ones still in Europe.Let me know when you're finally able to condemn the nazis at Charlottesville without blaming people who oppose naziism.
You keep voting for it.
You consistently vote for those upholding and continuing systemic racism in this country. You are as much of the problem as anyone in these forums.weird reply, since I didn't vote for a guy pandering to white supremacists like you did.
You mean like the 2 gangs that got in a shootout in Chicago and the DA refused to press charges because all the members of the 2 gangs were shooting? Yep, sounds like you should blame that on the wild west.
Chicago violence: Prosecutors reject charges in deadly gang-related Austin shooting
Police sought to charge all suspects with murder and aggravated battery.abc7chicago.com
"
But a police report framed the state's attorney's office's decision to decline charges in a different light: "Mutual combatants was cited as the reason for the rejection." Mutual combat is a legal term used to define a fight or struggle that two parties willingly engage in.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and some West Side aldermen called on Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to reverse her decision on the case. "
Foxx? Wasn't she the one in the Smollett case? Yeah, blame guns .
You consistently vote for those upholding and continuing systemic racism in this country. You are as much of the problem as anyone in these forums.
Good for you. Now explain why you villainize the people and groups who are standing up and doing something about those violent nazis and other white supremacist groups. Why is it that whenever those nazi groups engage in unlawful violence, you always whatabout to 'but antifa/BLM' for opposing those groups?I condemn all the Nazis in Charlottesville and across this country and the ones still in Europe.
That happens to be true. You know those pesky facts you people like to ignorebroken record
Orwell would be so proud of you.You consistently vote for those upholding and continuing systemic racism in this country. You are as much of the problem as anyone in these forums.
You don't even know what it is. Example the latest iteration is found in the Arbury trial.You consistently vote for those upholding and continuing systemic racism in this country. You are as much of the problem as anyone in these forums.
One of the most remarkable things about conservatives is their inability to accept that other people are smart enough to vote in their own interests.Cool that you acknowledge the existence of the systemic racism BLM is fighting against.
I don't vote R though, so you're wrong there. In your words, you're a liar.
I was responding to your quote not related to Rittenhouse but the idea white people can just roll up on black people walking the streets, start a confrontation and shoot with a claim of self defense ala Ahmed Arbury.
There are many threads in this forum with that very scenario
There is a lot if cognitive dissonance in your post. Gaige had a gun, why was he a split second away from killing Kyle? It's a fn'ing gun, you don't need to lunge or swipe at the person with it. He could have shot him from where he stood the first time or even before Kyle saw him if he intended to kill him? Why didn't he? Before he was shot he didn't fire
It's a fn'ing gun, you don't need to lunge or swipe at the person with it.
and after he was shot he didn't fire. Why not? I mean someone shot him, he had a gun and didn't fire it,
Shit if someone shot me I'd die trying to shoot him if I had a gun. Does any of that seem consistent with a man trying to kill him?
and if your argument was his hand was blown off, why didn't he move it to the other hand and fire?
And I agree with his regret. Isn't that the lesson we learned here. If you shoot first and kill someone, you can then claim self defense and the state has to prove otherwise.
And seeing Kyle had a gun, had just killed someone and was pointing the gun at Gaige, what is the probability he gets off? Pretty high me thinks..
Lastly, I can see the reason why the Judge didn't let the evidence that he said he wanted to have his gun to kill looters, yet I can see why it should have been let in as well. But, you've seen it. And again not more than 2 days later he kills people he thought were looters?
I bet your believe everything in LIFE is coincidental.
Another topic stirring the pot to help people exercise hatred!
There is a difference between picking at scabs and providing an environment conducive to their healing. Mobs aka protestors are not that.
All those in the mob should have individual responsiblity, just like Rittenhouse should. Were it not for his actions leading up to the events, a few people wouldn't have died. He become part of that mob even if his reasons weren't aligned.
While it's absolutely true that the people who created that meme are constantly forgiving amongst their own the same kind of criminal behavior they are celebrating street justice for others in that meme, I'm a bit more concerned that they've decided they now have justication for shooting into crowds.Yeah, it’s funny righties choose to vote for those type of people , yet claim they are terrible people when they shoot them.
