Someone purporting to be a Canadian centrist, while admitting to being a Trump supporter and a member of a fringe right-wing conspiracy website is entirely germane to the conversation.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
The verdict makes me more sad than angry. Reading some legal experts this week braced me for this; I'm in agreement with the ones who say this may be the right verdict legally, but not morally. And the additional B.S. about him having a long barreled weapon rather than short barreled excused the weapons charge...
America's great sickness - racism mixed with gun culture worship.
I worry so much about the legal precedent set by this, going forward. But history shows fame fades and the ultra right moves on after they've used you up. There recently was a convention in Idaho for gunowners that got cancelled, after they found out George Zimmerman was to be a key speaker.
Tbh, I didn't think it was possible for someone to ever be tried for the same crime again if they were found 'not guilty' because that would seem to violate the Double Jeopardy clause but then some1 mentioned online that after the riots in LA from the Rodney King case that the federal government retried case in federal court and got a conviction.

It's refreshing to know that sometimes, just sometimes, the Justice System works, as it did here.
I repeat what I said before: those jurors should all get a medal for doing the right thing in the face of riots and the threat of being doxxed, harassed, and threatened.

Come on, they're being way too melodramatic about one case. Tell the people stuck under Taliban rule in Afghanistan how sick the US is, I bet they'd trade places in a heartbeat.
Tell all the refugee's at the borders how sick the place is. Or all the migrants.

Dude, he's a leftist who gets all of his "news" from the likes of CNN, MSNBC, and other similar left wing propaganda networks.Of course he's sad over the fact the innocent white kid was freed. Why engage with that bs? Oh yeah, and he comes from Canada lol. He has literally zero room to be calling our superior country or justice system "sick".

Keep hoping at least one of them has an ounce of sense. Unlike the lunatics running rampant in this asylum; those people make me sick!

I keep wishing they could do a Friday the 13th where Jason takes Canada, bur the truth is it would end up with Jason aimlessly wandering around the woods for 3 hours slashing at mooses.

I know. But look at who y'all re-elected as your prime minister.... and by your own admission, it was legit unlike Biden becoming potus.

You may find the families of the 2 men killed go down the OJ route and launch civil suits for wrongful death or something equivalent because the burden of proof is lower.

Yeah, Rittenhouse won a criminal trial, civil cases are a seperate thing.
The fact is you can sue for whatever you want, no real standards exist. Find a gullible enough jury (Or know how to bribe them, or otherwise game the system) and cha-ching.

Depending on how greedy, more for them, much much less for the clients.
Heard about cases where the ambulance chasers got literally everything while their clients never saw a dime.
