I'd been thinking of posting this myself, as this case is genuinely perplexing, as it may be a legal shoot, but most people, including me, don't think it was a good one. That being said, chest bumping an armed man on his own property while screaming at him to shoot you after he asks you to leave definitely qualifies for the Darwin award in my book.
Evolution culls people like this from the gene pool.
Evolution can be brutal.

Wow so similar to Rittenhouse.
1. Victim asks shooter to shoot -- like Rosenbaum -- before being shot.
2. Victim was unarmed.
3. Victim grabbed for rifle.
4. Shooter claims self defense.

Some differences:
-Rittenhouse was threatened with death. The person here was inviting himself to be shot.
-Rittenhouse was surrounded by a mob. The person here, while being much larger, was just one man wanting his son.
(Give him his son, FFS.
)This is *not* a carbon copy of the Rittenhouse situation, imo, but of course the defense team will portray it as such.

Had the smaller man not produced a weapon, I suspect things would have turned out differently.
And why was the father denied access to his son?
He had a legal right to see him.
This is *not* a progressive against a conservative, to my knowledge, BTW.
Could we keep politics out of this particular tragedy?

You would think this would be common sense, but apparently it is not. I've done a little open carry in Seattle when I was late on a CPL renewal and it was my only legal option for carrying a pistol, the vast majority of people didn't even notice, they don't habitually scan the beltlines of strangers, and their eyes tend to glide over a black pistol in a black holster over black pants, they might even "see" a phone instead out of habit. I've seen a few other open carriers there over the years, they're not particularly common, but it's just not a big deal, and this is Seattle I'm talking about.
You changed the context.
My context involved a threatening situation.
I still luv you, however.

This is America, who we masturbate would be political if the activity and thoughts during it are not usually done in private.

Well another thing I've noticed is, it seems a lot of Americans hate the jury system, as they try to pressure and threaten jurors to give a certain verdict, such as in this trial, or the Derek Chauvin trial, etc. But I wonder, do a lot of Americans think the jury system therefore stinks, and they would prefer a different system in place?
I believe this is the norm, these days, in high profile race-based trials.
It could be argued that both sides of politics may have been involved in the Rittenhouse case, imo.
But Rittenhouse's wasn't a "race-based" trial, however.
No POC was harmed in the production of this...err, forget it.
Some/many(?) progressives are simply ignoring the fact there was no racial context, so as to exploit the trial for their own political agenda.
And White Supremacists have done the same in terms of the right to carry arms.
Surely, people can see this?

"Who" or "how"?
The former makes me wonder about your sexual preferences.
Kinky.

I'll happily admit to being partial to progressive thinking but I notice for somebody who claims not to be neutral and "non-partisan", you sure repeat these lines regularly over many years.
Have you noticed my position regarding gun ownership in America?
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=401779&start=528#p8916401
I believe this is the progressive position, not a Republican one.
You Your argument has been invalidated.
Also, I have always maintained that there are ratbags on *both* sides of the political divide.
Hyperpartisan progressives won't accept this.
Do you?
Also, I am anti-Trump.
I believe he is damaging American social harmony, big time.
Also, I believe in a "Universal Health Care System".
This is also a progressive position.
Epic fail, cyberdude.
I hope you can take this the right way, and not be offended: I would clarify that you are more bi-political or non-binary when it comes to politics, rather than “neutral,” or an “observer.” Once you choose a position, you can exhibit “partisan” dedication to and defense of it. Being quick to throw partisan accusations at others doesn’t help, as that tends to be a politically partisan charge. I've also only seen you throw that charge at liberals, never at conservatives, which does not exactly come off as non-partisan, even if your actual policy views tend progressive.
