He should have brought his own skateboard if he wanted to legally defend himself. 🤡

What a coincidence - days after the Kenosha DA said a skateboard can’t be used as a weapon.

This establishes the fact that a skateboard can indeed be wielded as a lethal weapon.

A smooth stone can be lethal. That was established about 3000 years ago by a guy called David.

That’s impossible, we have been told that a skateboard cannot be a dangerous weapon, and that Rittenhouse should have allowed himself to be hit in the head with it without resistance.

Skateboards are a preferred Antifa weapon. Look at tapes of Antifa riots and you’ll see several.

If I find myself in Kenosha, I might decide to carry a baseball bat in hopes of finding a game.

Gabby Petito was murdered with bare hands. Some people die from one punch or kick to the head.

Some local MC members have ax handles mounted on their handlebars.

You carve some “ergonomic grooves” on the wide end and boom, now it’s a sturdy walking cane.

Perfectly legal.

Bizarrely, full size Bowie knives are also legal to open carry.


LEGAL
Residents enjoy rights to buy, own, sell blades and knives as long as they operate within Maryland state legal system. People can own all kinds of folding knives, switchblades, gravity knives, balisong such as belt buckle, key knives, sword canes, hunting knives, daggers, KA-BAR knives, Bowie knives, stiletto, ballistic knives, throwing stars and throwing knives as well as double or single edged fixed blade knives. People are free to openly carry all these types of knives as long as they do not intend to use them to harm others. You cannot also carry these knives to school grounds, prison grounds, in courthouses or in school. Note that serving police officers are exempted from this.

ILLEGAL
It is illegal to carry knives that have switches like gravity knives and switchblade knives, regardless of the size. These knives are classified as dangerous weapons and are all banned. According to section § 4–101 of the Code of Maryland (Statutes), minors under 18 years cannot carry knives from 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset. The counties affected by these limitations are Worcester County, Washington, Hartford County, Cecil County, Caroline County, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, St. Mary’s County, Prince George’s County, Montgomery County, and Kent County. However, minors engaged in legal hunting trips and civic military gatherings that require use of such blades as tools are exempted from the ban.


Machetes rule.
