It’s literally the only thing the left has. Everything they disagree with they just slap the ole racist tag on. Talk about shallow.

The jury handed down the right verdict. Anyone with half a brain who paid attention to the trial could see that.

I guess taking the upper hand and trying to maintain a calm tone is now viewed as "divide and conquer", maybe you got too used to the constant childish call outs that would have occurred with other Presidents.
He is representing his base only, that 30-whatever percent of the electorate that still supports him.

His base, meaning the people who react to this and say, "this is terrible, the law should be suspended in order for political demonstrations on our behalf to have the full, intended effect...it looks like the pesky law and justice system is still standing in our way here, and we need to 'fix' it."

That's what most of us hear.

You assumed 'incorrectly' Kyle was inexperienced with a long gun.

1) Age has nothing to do with the right of self defense
2) Kyle was legally carrying a long gun, FYI...the initial charge was dropped
3) Kyle was at the business BEFORE the situation became dangerous. The general assumption was the police would control the rioters and unrest. It did not happen. The failure was ALLOWING the situation to become dangerous by liberal politicians who held the police back. The danger CAME at Kyle.

So in reality, Kyle was WELL within his rights, in ALL aspects of the tragedy. The not guilty verdict concludes the same.

Are you at odd with the verdict?

Asking for links for what is common knowledge is gaslighting.

Biden is committing political malpractice. As more and more comments come in from left leaning individuals... I see a total disregard for our system of justice.

Some are calling for a DOJ investigation. If only there was someone to impeach...

“While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House.

The president said he would continue working to “heal our country’s wounds” until “every American is treated equally, with fairness and dignity.” He called for protests of the verdict to remain peaceful.

the comments are worth the price of admission > https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/146...ul-protests%2F
Yeah, Trump called for peaceful protests at the Capital building but he got crucified anyway. Biden calling this guy a white supremacist will stir up the left to.

Are you at odd with the verdict?
I made no reference to his experience with a long gun but if you say he is inexperienced I won't argue.

1) Age equals experience
2) "Under Wisconsin statutes that say anyone under 18 who "goes armed" with any deadly weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor," why they chose not to include that is up to the lawyers
3) He was still in the zone that the police had said to stay clear of because of anticipated problems.

We'll stop here because in your mind he can do what he want and in mine he created the situation that was the danger. Hope you don't have any kids that choose to go to a know problem area, armed and then have to make that kind of choice because no matter what you think they are not ready for that 17.

I can accept your response but I still say its better than the saber rattling we saw with the last administration that lead to January 6th

now, we don't know what this "saber rattling" is going to lead to....it's too soon

....but if it does lead to something....are you going to be just a quick to call Biden out on it?

Hopefully the slander suit costs him everything he owns-as well as his eventual pension from the Oval. Would be justice to see him homeless.

If he were at all of sound mind, I'd say he was catering to his left-wing base ( who is out for Rittenhouse's blood) with those words. As he's not, I don't know.
