When I was in Iraq there were a few 17 year old infantrymen in my battalion. One of them even got a Purple Heart by the end of his tour.
People have a right to stay home or keep their kids home. I don't know how life is lived in Kenosha, but far be it from me to begrudge anyone from wanting to stand up against a riot of angry arsonists trashing innocent people's livelihoods when they're abandoned by law enforcement.

Same here.
Difference is we were trained, acting under orders and guidance, had proper support systems, a defined enemy, etc.
Let's try to stick to the facts of this particular case. Kyle the civilian, as my child, did not do what I'd want my kids to do.
To be clear again, since we know how these discussions devolve - I fully support the verdict considering that the situation happened and there is no taking that back now. I'm glad that 2 mopes are dead and a 3rd is maimed for life. But I would never encourage my kids to get themselves involved in the mess that he did.
I didn't watch it. Don't plan to. I don't care what he has to say on that. Also, I hate Tucker.
All I cared about was that he did act in Self-Defense. And happy the Jury felt the same.
That said, I'd only give him a pass because sure, he may just not know anything deeper.
BLM on it's surface is ok. "Stop Police Brutality", right? Who'd say no to that?
Of course, there are a ton of strings and Marxist icebergs hidden under the surface and when you try to criticize that they assume you are criticizing the Police brutality part.
I doubt he earned any points with the BLM crowd by saying that though,..lol.
What he said is, of course, being taken out of context.
He said he supports the BLM "MOVEMENT" and the right to civil protest. He differentiates the right to PROTEST vs the right to RIOT.
I'm not surprised the media is lying about this again.
True or not true, it is a good tactic for him to voice support for BLM and peaceful protests, in case anyone is considering civil rights actions against him.

He is VERY young. Heck he probably doesn't even know what BLM is all about. So like I said, with that in mind I will give the young chap a pass on it.
BLM are a terrorist organization whose founders have said straight up "we are trained Marxists".
Like I said, a young 17yo kid like him likely doesn't even know the founders have said that.
This guy has some cajones to try and sue the city of Kenosha for $10 million after his own actions led to his arm being blown away.

*None* of his story strikes me as crap. White supremacists who kill other white people generally don’t make repeated attempts to turn themselves in.
It’s my belief that this is a good kid.
The cop pepper sprayed him because he got too close to the vehicle when he went to turn himself in so he went to the police station in Kenosha, but it was closed. That's when he gave up and went home, turning himself in at the Antioch police station. But there are people still saying if his intention was to turn himself in, he didn't try very hard.
I don't think the kid is a hero, but the left going after him is insane, and they refuse to get the facts because they know it blows their entire narrative about him, so they continue repeating lies. Even here in this thread, as though we don't know what they're doing.
The semi-automatic was available back when the Constitution was written.
Pres Thomas Jefferson gave 2 to Lewis and Clark.
Available yes.
Massed produced....no.
The technology to make parts close enough to identical to enable mass, assembly line style production was still many years away.
Without doing a lot of research, I'm guessing that the 1911 was the first massed produced and WIDELY AVAILABLE semiautomatic.
I could be wrong but the exact model and date isn't really that important for the purposes of this discussion.
