"Prosecutors have repeatedly tried to introduce evidence of Mr. Rittenhouse’s associations with the far-right Proud Boys, as well as a cellphone video taken weeks before the shootings in Kenosha in which Mr. Rittenhouse suggested that he wished he had his rifle so he could shoot men leaving a pharmacy. The judge did not allow either as evidence for trial."

That took me under a minute to locate.

All of you supporting the "self-defense" charade are playing the same dishonest game, with a timeline that begins with someone approaching Pugsley or attacking him or trying to take away his fucking rifle, and the timeline ends when Pugs fires his gun. Clear case of self-defense!!! Yeah, as long as you narrow your attention to a timeline of a few seconds. And assiduously omit the fact that this kid procured a gun and went to a riot to act out his fantasies. And, yes, he did "suggest" that he wanted to shoot people, but the judge would not allow the cell phone video to be admitted as evidence.

I am disgusted,

In my mind someone who tries to disarm a kid with the eyes of a goldfish strutting around with an assault rifle raised in the air is a hero for trying to prevent a massacre. It's not as if teenagers with guns never spray bullets into crowds.

Millions of them do it all day in video games.
