Any white child who goes armed into Compton looking to take justice into their own hands isn’t making it out alive.

I would like to see BLM go in there and clean up though. End all this black on black violence. How well do you think the community will take it?

When will white people end their white on white violence? Most white people are killed by their own as well.

You got some stats on that? The way I understand it, most white deaths are suicide. Yet in Chicago, there can be 40-100 black on black deaths daily.

Do you have stats on that?

(see page 13). The report, which analyzes Homicide Trends in the U.S. between 1980-2008, found that within that period “most murders were intraracial”, with 84% of white victims killed by whites and 93% of Black victims killed by Black perpetrators.

Thanks for that, but my point is proven, blacks kill each more. I bet todays numbers are worse. Why stop at 2008? We all know shit started getting real after that.

I did find this, but seems more "gang" related than anything. Suicide still tops all.

There are roughly 32,000 gun deaths per year in the United States. Of those, around 60% are suicides. About 3% are accidental deaths (less than 1,000). About 34% of deaths (just over 11,000 in both 2010 and 2011) make up the remainder of gun deaths. Sometimes the 32,000 and 11,000 figures are used interchangeably by gun control advocates. Clearly, the 32,000 figure is a far more dramatic number and is often used for impact. These numbers are also regularly compared to other countries' gun statistics. But are they true? Here, we will examine some of the most common gun control arguments used and put those figures into perspective.

Gang Violence Driving Force of Gun Violence

To hear gun control advocates speak, one would be led to believe that gun violence is a widespread problem whereby the mere existence of a gun is as much a problem as the person who intends to wield it. But the reality is that gun homicides are overwhelmingly tied to gang violence. In fact, a staggering 80% of gun homicides are gang-related. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), gang homicides
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
roughly 8,900 of 11,100 gun murders in both 2010 and 2011. That means that there were just 2,200 non gang-related firearm murders in both years in a country of over 300 million people and 250 million guns.

Cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and New Orleans all have very high per-capita murder rates. Individual police estimates usually find at least 65% and often more than 80% of all murders in those cities are gang-related. Solve the problem of gang violence, and a huge chunk of the gun homicide and violence problem is solved. And what national gun control measures would slow the gang violence problem, when local gun control laws have failed in cities like Chicago? If politicians were really worried about gun deaths, wouldn't they be specifically targeting where a majority of the problems exist?

It's not about capacity to understand. It's about racism and the belief that blacks are inferior, therefore animalistic. Anything that challenges that notion is rejected.

Gotdamn. Admin is stupid as fuck.
Is your 16 yr old armed, or do you hate freedom?

I armed my son when he was 10. He can fire 100 rounds in less than a minute.

My kids have been shooting guns since they were ten.

I've shown vids of it lol. Well vids of my oldest shooting.....she consents.
Do you send her into the streets during a riot? If not, why do you hate freedom and condone riots?

No Admin. However.....we havent had rioters show up in our community as if yet.

So what's your point? That our rights are nullified if a riot breaks out?

Or do you want your arbitrary opinion on who "belonged" in Kenosha that night enforced in a court of LAW?
Then stfu, if you can't walk the talk, just stay quiet.

Oh but YOU can talk?

So explain your dumb fucking point here. You are trying to say that if a riot breaks out ONLY rioters belong there?

Yeah? Your opinion on who can go where should be enforced in court?
Not what I said dingbat, lurn 2 rede!


I don't know, maybe when riots break out the police should handle them?
But self defense is all about immersing yourself in the thick of danger and then shooting your way out of it!

Sometimes yes.

What you guys dont get is that people have the right to protect communities and defend themselves.

It's not illegal to BE somewhere. It's not illegal in WI to open carry.

It IS illegal to attack someone.

The fault here lies with the authorities who failed to protect a community that was being attacked for a few nights in a row.

How do you NOT get that? Because you are THAT brainwashed?

As you minimize the destruction of a working class community and support a full blown establishment attack on an innocent boy from a poor single parent home.

STFU up. You are NOT on the side of the lower class. You are actively supporting attacks on them.

Can Kenosha residents move to Portugal and discuss the lives of human beings all safe over lattes like its about politics? Like they are just game pieces in a partisan war they didnt ask for?

The Panthers did that back in the 60's...then The Man threw them all into prison (well the ones they didn't gun down in the street first)

For real? Thats fucked up if so.

Times are different today, they could've EASILY cleaned up during the Floyd riots and not a soul would've been arrested.
Yes it is true, the hoods they patrolled saw crime rates drop to near zero.

Tupac Shakur’s mother was a political activits and member of the Black Panther party… I believe she was imprisoned for her affiliation with this group.

This is the thing about this whole episode that gets to me: If Rittenhouse was just some fucked up kid who made a big mistake by killing two people, and then got exceedingly lucky and got off, I'd be aggravated but accepting of the whole thing nonetheless. You know, my attitude would have been, well, that's life, and I can't do anything about it.

But the fact that so many have made a hero of him, and in turn there are going to be so many others with his attitude who will think of themselves as heroes if they go out and shoot someone because of the lunatics who have cast Kyle as some sort of righteous warrior, is terrifying and sickening. This is bad karma for everyone.

And then it became impossible for law abiding citizens in the hood to arm themselves.

We know. Typically when we point this out you give a bad emojis and say something stupid.

Yup, which is why most homicides are carried out with illegal guns....

Exactly! Why is Kyle the brave defender hero of self defense, when this man actually did something heroic and probably actually saved lives, and none of us(probably) even know his name.

When will white people end their white on white violence? Most white people are killed by their own as well.

You got some stats on that? The way I understand it, most white deaths are suicide. Yet in Chicago, there can be 40-100 black on black deaths daily.

I did find this, but seems more "gang" related than anything. Suicide still tops all.

There are roughly 32,000 gun deaths per year in the United States. Of those, around 60% are suicides. About 3% are accidental deaths (less than 1,000). About 34% of deaths (just over 11,000 in both 2010 and 2011) make up the remainder of gun deaths. Sometimes the 32,000 and 11,000 figures are used interchangeably by gun control advocates. Clearly, the 32,000 figure is a far more dramatic number and is often used for impact. These numbers are also regularly compared to other countries' gun statistics. But are they true?

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
roughly 8,900 of 11,100 gun murders in both 2010 and 2011. That means that there were just 2,200 non gang-related firearm murders in both years in a country of over 300 million people and 250 million guns.

Cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and New Orleans all have very high per-capita murder rates. Individual police estimates usually find at least 65% and often more than 80% of all murders in those cities are gang-related. Solve the problem of gang violence, and a huge chunk of the gun homicide and violence problem is solved. And what national gun control measures would slow the gang violence problem, when local gun control laws have failed in cities like Chicago? If politicians were really worried about gun deaths, wouldn't they be specifically targeting where a majority of the problems exist?

They are also poorer than whites.


Crime follows poverty.

This is something these meatheads never seem capable of understanding. Poverty has a huge, huge influence on all of this.


It's not about capacity to understand. It's about racism and the belief that blacks are inferior, therefore animalistic. Anything that challenges that notion is rejected.
And in their mind challenging that notion of black inferiority, is bad mouthing America!


Identity Politics is bad!

Wtf are you talking about? What does race have to do with this? Nothing.

So you think black people are so inferior that white people should be allowed to attack other white people?

Cam you people ever TRY to make sense?

Any white child who goes armed into Compton looking to take justice into their own hands isn’t making it out alive.

I would like to see BLM go in there and clean up though. End all this black on black violence. How well do you think the community will take it?
The Panthers did that back in the 60's...then The Man threw them all into prison (well the ones they didn't gun down in the street first)

For real? Thats fucked up if so.

Times are different today, they could've EASILY cleaned up during the Floyd riots and not a soul would've been arrested.
Yes it is true, the hoods they patrolled saw crime rates drop to near zero.

And then it became impossible for law abiding citizens in the hood to arm themselves.

We know. Typically when we point this out you give a bad emojis and say something stupid.

Yup, which is why most homicides are carried out with illegal guns....

I think they think all black people are dumb criminals.

This is the thing about this whole episode that gets to me: If Rittenhouse was just some fucked up kid who made a big mistake by killing two people, and then got exceedingly lucky and got off, I'd be aggravated but accepting of the whole thing nonetheless. You know, my attitude would have been, well, that's life, and I can't do anything about it.

But the fact that so many have made a hero of him, and in turn there are going to be so many others with his attitude who will think of themselves as heroes if they go out and shoot someone because of the lunatics who have cast Kyle as some sort of righteous warrior. It's terrifying and sickening. This is bad karma for everyone.
If he hadn't been prosecuted he would not be a hero. We would have forgotten all about it by now. JoJo wouldn't have been missed.

Probably because your entire premise is wrong.

No one says Kyle made ANY mistakes. Where do you get that?

Since not even progressives can get through to you....let's start with that. Who the fuck says Kyle made a mistake? Everyone has blatantly said he broke NO laws and did NOTHING wrong. Its CLEAR self defense.

Sorry you dont understand why us peasents would defend another peasent when the whole establishment elites go after him to demonize and defame him. That's a no brainer to most people.

The scariest part about the justification of someone like Rittenhouse is that the argument is completely devoid of the fact that it was police brutality in the black communities that brought us here.

No investigation or charges filed in the Floyd case is what propelled this already apparent issue into what it became.

Until America wants to take responsibility for the unjust treatment of these people for the past 200 years in the form of lack of proper healthcare, education, opportunity and equality….. it’s only going to get worse.

Arming yourselves makes you appear barbarically insane to any civilized human being on this planet FYI.

So, we can't prosecute people for murder for fear they will become heroes? I am not even sure what you think your point means. He was prosecuted according to the law.

Are illegal guns born illegal, or are they stolen from "responsible run owners"

When will white people end their white on white violence? Most white people are killed by their own as well.

You got some stats on that? The way I understand it, most white deaths are suicide. Yet in Chicago, there can be 40-100 black on black deaths daily.

Do you have stats on that?

Stats on what, the suicide, or the black on black deaths?

Cause if you wasnt paying attention during the Floyd riots, it skyrocketed in those areas. They were killing each other way more than usual. But did BLM go help? No, they were too busy taking down Southern Heroic Monuments. Cause you know, they were killing people.

You know I think the reason these people wont engage at all beyond these really bizzare media induced comments and the vagueness and the insults is because they know they are wrong and what they are thinking makes no sense and cant stand up to scrunity

And they have been so ingrained with hatred of other people that they refuse to get on the same side as us EVEN when it's so obviously the correct and right side. Even when other progressives are big enough to put truth and principles above their politcs and defend it.

I'm saying. Its gonna be a HUGE "right wing" verses this whole lying, hateful establishment machine. Because anyone who opposes it is "right wing". Even if they arent at all. That's the framing.

Exactly! Why is Kyle the brave defender hero of self defense, when this man actually did something heroic and probably actually saved lives, and none of us(probably) even know his name.

I bet Jack Wilson didn't even get to sit on Trump's lap.

No, I remember that guy! And have posted about him several times! He was a hero too!

Oooo is it cherry picking cases time where you use completely cases to argue for why we need MORE injustice and not less?

Admin.....who is Kenneth Walker? (Another verdict that was correct, btw)
