um no.. 1 Rittenhouse was self defense and he was not convicted. I agreed with it.
same here. How do you not understand almost ALWAYS during a murder somebody gets charged with a crime. Almost always they go to jail prior to. Almost always they have to post bail.
You keep extending the conversation to validate the reaction video. If he gets convicted or gets some BS secondary charge Ill be mad with you.
They should of treated his wounds better for sure.
There was no murder here. Self-defense directly states "not murder". Murder is a legal term. Was there a homicide here? Yes. Are there homicides committed on a daily basis for a variety of reasons where the person who commits that homicide do not go to jail or have to post bail? Absolutely.
This is New York City. They had bail reforms, don't you remember? They released a wide variety of drug dealers, domestic abusers, people convicted of everything from petty assault to armed robbery.
I have zero fucks given when it comes to listening to excuses for why this man was thrown in jail over a clear case of self defense. Why the wounds he sustained in the defense of his own life were allowed to get infected in jail.
I don't care much about the reaction video. You asked if I'd read the story. Yes I have. And yes, I'm still attempting to discover the name of the girlfriend, as well. Because as you have failed to answer, "Was she arrested or charged for assault with a deadly weapon" or perhaps "Conspiracy to commit murder" has not yet been answered.
Being thrown in jail for self-preservation during an unprovoked attack is an injustice. This was a brown immigrant elderly man. Not only is this a case of activism trumping justice, it's a clear case of systemic racism against a hard working immigrant, by a privileged pair of welfare-receiving native citizens, one of whom was a convicted felon.
Anything else?
