George Simpkins got acquited,  he's a black guy that shot 4 people,  claiming he was bullied. Then went and had a huge party, while victims were lying in hospital. 
Oh and rittenhouse surrendered,  that helps to not get shot by police

He wasn't acquitted, he was put under house arrest on $75,000 bail, and his family held a (misjudged) welcome home thing for him. And he hadn't killed anyone, thankfully. But yeah, I'm sure whatever alt-right toilet source you got your info from spun it very differently.

The (black) chief of police came out and said Siimpkins was not bullied, he brought a gun to school over 'high risk behaviour', read into that what you will.

More pertinently, a black man, also a career criminal called Andrew Coffee was, in fact, acquitted of murder via self defence after shooting at police trying to execute a warrant on a drug house he was in, in which his girlfriend got killed in the crossfire.

So there's that.

How do ye cunts even hear about these micro stories?? Because you're on culture war sites explicitly trying to draw equivalences, and then you have the rhino-skinned gall to come on with some clichéd horse shit about "the ruling class" distracting us? Fuck.ing.hell.chap. I looked up George Simpkins, and I clicked on your link there. First case obviously had to be spun to the high heavens to try to equate with Rittenhouse, since nobody died. The second case, straight off the bat, I'm guessing Andrew Coffee was acquitted in order to take some heat off the deputies for murdering the 21 year old girlfriend, who had nothing whatsoever to do with why they were there.

The ruling class dividing and conquering us by distraction with a US 'culture war'.

It's ingenious.

Unreal lad, you are absolutely un-fucking-real.

You said in an earlier post about black lads would have been sent to jail for life in a similar situation and blah blah, and now you're sweating and huffing and puffing because your nose is out of joint due to being made to look daft yet again.

Stay over there on the coronavirus thread where you are the alpha male. You embarrass yourself with your contributions elsewhere.

'On culture war sites'. You read an quote the Guardian among other discredited rags, so the pot is calling the kettle black (oh!) and not for the first time.

I'm aware of my biases, but you bring out the best and the worst of me. Dialectical materialism and mentally unsound postmodern philosophers have fried your brain like a two week binge on the Bonnie Prince Charlie.

How many eyes are rolling because the lads are at again. 'Handbags', but you started it and I know you are so what does that make me.

Neither of the two situations presented there are anything like the Rittenhouse scenario! Neither Simpkins nor Andrew Coffee killed anyone! FFS...

Coffee was accused of felony murder. They argued he was responsible for the girls death, whether or not he pulled the trigger.

And that makes it similar to the Rittenhouse scenario because...? It's a clear case of US law enforcement being overly heavy handed, this leading to a death, and then them trying to save themselves behind it. In the context of the US, here is everything you need to know right here:

Quotethe tactical team smashed through his bedroom window

...and then he fired.

Nothing like the Rittenhouse scenario whatsoever.

The charges are nearly identical.

So there's that.

One last time for today: you're an idiot.

Good man. The ad hominem; the last vestige of a pompous, sneering je-sais-tout, with far more confidence in his own 'intellect' than most observers, barring perhaps the other adolescents who analyse the world through Zizek and Dialectical materialism.

I've already addressed your "arguments", so that part is done. Me calling you an idiot after the fact isn't a rhetorical ad hominem, it's just a bonus. The police smashed through Coffee's bedroom window, he opened fire, they fired back, killing his girlfriend in the process, meanwhile Coffee's gunfire killed no one. That you would insist on trying to compare this to the Rittenhouse scenario is idiocy, pure and simple.

One can quite easily be convicted of murder without having pulled the trigger. Perhaps that fact escapes you, as much else seems to do, as you are so painfully, wilfully indoctrinated.

He says 'I didn't hear the police identify themselves I was asleep'. This is a drug dealing, criminal piece of shit, I'd wager he's lying.

'Idiocy, plain and simple'. No, you don't like the stink on your suggestion that the black man would never get away with it. Your ego will not tolerate it.

You have a severe case of the Napoleons, and that has nothing to do with your geographical location.

That's a 'bonus', by the way.

None of that matters Kev; whether he was lying, the fact that he's a criminal, etc. The point is that the scenario is nothing like the Rittenhouse one. And whoever brought the story to your attention trying to make you believe otherwise is either themselves an idiot or, worse, banking on you being an idiot. The Guardian bank on their readers being idiots all the time, or play to their sensibilities just to keep them as readers, and I've criticized The Guardian as much on this forum as anyone else; it's almost unreadable on politically charged stories like this one. But you, and others on here even worse than you, never seem to realize that the Tucker Carlsons of the right-wing media, the Rupert Murdochs, etc., etc., are also heavily banking on their viewers and readers being idiots, not double checking things, not pausing to reflect, not scratching the surface. And as you bizarrely pointed out yourself, these aren't even battles related to you! Would you not just cop on like? It is an option.
