the victim of right wing propaganda.
Speak of the devil.

Whether or not he is a member, Rittenhouse has proudly posed with Proud Boys. I know you don't consider white nationalism or race-based violence terrorism, but they're a terrorist organization.

That's certainly a connection to a real organization. As deep of a connection as Brooks has to BLM according to this Jan.6th supporter/anti-vaxxer on Twitter you shared. (Seriously, bumber I'm worried about you. If you need someone to talk to, PM me.)

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if Brooks was fleeing a crime, considering his record and the recklessness of his driving. My mind just assumed "fleeing a knife attack" meant being a victim and fleeing. All in all, it won't matter considering the severity of the tragedy he just committed.

Coffee's currently looking at decades in prison, last I checked, on top of the wild horseshit of being charged with what he was to begin with, not to mention the other person involved that the cops actually, y'know, gunned down in their own home. Not comparable at all.

Haven't heard much about the other one, but a quick check shows little relevant to the discussion at hand other than there being a self-defense claim involved. Jones doesn't appear to be a vigilante with connections to terrorist organizations.

I'll say it again, since it looks like it could stand repeating: If a black or middle eastern guy with terrorist connections did what rittenhouse did, it's fairly likely they wouldn't have made it to the courthouse at all, much less been acquitted of all charges.

Both were found by a Trial by Jury to be Not Guilty on all charges.  But thank you for proving to everyone that when presented with facts and evidence which run counter to your personal beliefs, you'll not only refuse to review the evidence and admit to being wrong...you double down on your assertion and continue to spread misinformation.

You've provided literally no facts or evidence, on top of straight up being wrong in regards to at least one of the folks you cited (coffee's not been found not guilty of everything involved, and is in fact looking down the barrel of a multi-decade sentence related to it right now).

Bumber at least tried, but both coffee and this other fellows situations are wildly different and entirely divorced from the statement I made. Try reading the words that are on the screen next time, mate.

All three men in the Ahmaud Arbery killing are facing life in prison before federal charges have even been made.

Why they shoot a jogger? That's a really stupid crime. Are they against fit people?

He was Black While Jogging.

They claimed there had been "series of burglaries" in the area, (1 was reported in a 2 month time frame around when they killed him) so when they saw him jogging in broad daylight they thought he was "fleeing from a crime." So they got in their trucks, drove him down, confronted him, tried to detain him, might have dropped an N word on him, got out of their trucks, struggled when he "tried to go for their gun" and they shot him.

Notice a pattern of behavior here in America Lord Baal? Someone gets a gun, puts themselves in a situation where they are confronting unarmed people with it, then shoot them because "they tried to take my gun."

In America some are wont to call that "self-defense."

Thats something really fucked up, if you can forgot my bad language. Why? Just WHY?? They are psyco... and at the end of the day, if someone jogging is dangerous because something as stupid as the color of his skin, call the fucking cops you monumental morons...

Of course the poor guy got freaked out and defended himself, would not you if three jerks you dont know jump with guns on you? I hope all of them get lifetime sentence.

About damn time. Watched the video of that one, and it's a clear-cut lynching.

And he's still looking at up to thirty years for other charges related to that. Which you'd be aware of if you actually bothered to look ::)

This will also result in a black person being murdered. Do not do this.

If someone Jogging While Black is threatening to you, you suck it up and go about your day.

Well, one could expect cops to not shoot at people randomly [citation needed]. Also its less likely you will get scared if its a cop the one asking you to stop instead of the packing three stooges

What I mean is that if you see something suspicious, you call the cops instead of doing a bad batman impression. If they though a black dude doing excercise was a danger (which is stupid by itself for like a gazzilion reasons), they should have called the cops and be done with it.

And from that exact same article you just quoted but after the first sentence.
Quote
Coffee was found guilty on a count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, which could have a penalty of up to 30 years in prison. He was also found not guilty in the murder of Woods.
So yeah, using him as an example of someone not getting screwed over by the justice system is a bit silly, as you would have known if you actually read the entire article you just linked.

I know what you meant in general, but I was talking specifically about the situation already being discussed.
