Rittenhouse: On CNN, Lawyer Absurdly Claims Skateboard Can't Be A Lethal Weapon
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/17/2021 8:41:21 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On Tuesday, New Day brought on a lawyer who, in attempting to refute Rittenhouse's claim of self-defense, made an absolutely absurd assertion. Robert Hirschhorn, a lawyer and jury-selection consultant, ranted:

"I’m sorry, nobody's ever died as a result of being hit with a skateboard. Now, you point a gun at somebody, you've got the right to defend yourself. But being kicked or being hit, you don’t bring a gun to a fistfight. You don’t bring a gun when somebody's hitting you with a skateboard."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Check the video: this guy’s a buffoon. And I’m guessing he hasn’t spent a ton of time around skateboards!

Nice picture of Hirschhorn, and I’d like to remind him that a skateboard is a piece of wood with wheel braces and no one use them to skate during a riot.

My thought too. I’d be able to crack his head open like an over ripe watermelon. This loser must not do anything physical that involves power or speed.

One of those long boards that they tried to brain Kyle with probably weighs around 15 pounds with steel wheels attached to it.

That’s about the same as a 2 x 4 that’s 6 feet long. Could easily kill a man with that.

A skateboard makes a good bludgeon and plenty of people have been bludgeoned to death. The leftist scumbags like to use skateboards to get around riots and they double as weapons.
But given that the official position of the prosecution on (Leftist) mob violence is “take your beatdown” and that bringing a gun removes the right to self defense, this isn’t really a surprise.

It must suck to have to spout a lot of stupid BS in order to hold up the leftard side of a conversation.
