“The DOJ will certainly bring Civil Rights charges against Rittenhouse…”
I don’t think so either. That might be the “one last thing”. A lot of things might be the last thing at this point.
“I agree, I don’t think even Merrick Garland is that stupid.”
Wait until he says, “Hold muh beer!”
“Certainly”? Nope.
“... to show the common people that, regardless of the hundreds of millions of guns, they have no defense.”
We conservatives delude ourselves that being armed to the teeth is sufficient protection against those who want to harm us, be an individual or the state.
It gives us a false sense of security, but without the will or the ability to use it, it’s mostly a useless security blanket.
To protect ourselves from bad actors and especially the state, what’s more important is organization and rabid activism.
That is how the left has managed to take over all the institutions, and thus install its agenda.
Since Kyle was not acting under color of authority, nor a place of public accommodation, he’ll not likely be charged under the civil rights code. I also don’t believe he has any jurisdictional “hooks” that will give the feds authority to prosecute under a federal homicide statute. Having said that, since the rule of law has become a frail bulwark against the totalitarians, I wouldn’t stake my life on it. They may find a way.
There has to be a pretext. A thirst for power isn't going to cut it as a reason.
You know these evil basturds are going to go after Kyle. We’ll have get in the streets.
I agree. The progs have their finger in the wind and realize that public opinion is against them.
There were only a few lame attempts at “protests” in the blue-est of cities, Portland, NY and Chicago. They got no traction.
They will ruin this kids life for political gain

It’s already ruined, even if he wins big bucks in the upcoming lawsuits. Between the memories of looking into their faces while shooting them to the asswipes in the media and government getting their rocks off tormenting him in the future, his quality of life is not to be envied. Just ask the white Hispanic.
Kyle’s case was a bad choice to try this against - but they will have no trouble setting up some poor store owner int he future with exactly the set of circumstances they need to pursue their gun confiscation agenda.
No they won't because Biden and the White House already tainted any future court proceedings against Rittenhouse. They sealed it!
it will be a naked, vulgar abuse of power if they try to FED him...
Are you kidding? Rittenhouse can spend his life on some tropical island paradise, complete with round the clock security if he wants.
They may. I just think it’s more likely than not they’ll try to avoid another trial debacle. He’s already “guilty” to the left, and a symbol of inherent systemic racism in the courts. Gotta vote Dem if you want equity, don’t you know.
They will not come to your door to take your guns.
They will simply turn off all your financial accounts until you beg them to come take your guns and turn them back on, which they will never do.
Remember the Rodney King case? They were found not guilty, so the federal government sued them for civil rights violations of Rodney King and beat them.
Civil Rights charges
He didn’t let the guy to shoot him oh brother what logic.
I agree with your term “rabid activism”...that conservatives need to engage in...now or in the near future. I’ve always believed that unlike the wacky liberal, who will stand in the pouring rain protesting the death penalty...we are content to shout at our 75” TVs about how evil the Deep State is, before switching channels. I do believe that we are being pushed to the brink and that when the SHTF, they will be stunned by its magnitude. I also believe that with the current disaster in the White House, if the election is stolen again, that would be the flash point causing me to become a “rabid activist”!
Who is the white hispanic. And yes I agree with you. Him and his moms life are ruined. Meanwhile skateboard kids love is out there calling for even more violence. What the f is wrong with these people. Did she not watch the video of him cracking his head with a skateboard. Does she think that was ok. You boy brought a skateboard to a gun fight and lost.
The politician watched a armed citizen protect himself and the jury got it right. Now they know they can not use there political powers to sway a jury to get what they want. Can’t go after the AR guns again yet. That was next if they got there way. Was a big win for law abiding citizens. They should stop using antifa and blm to riot and put fear in our hearts.
