It's plausible
Kevin Sorbo IS a uniquely functional low-IQ individual
The jury is asking to see the drone footage that is at the center of the defense's motion for a mistrial. I think that's going to push the issue for the judge and we might never find out what the jury determines...
TIL throwing socks is a murderable offense.You mean the footage that shows Rosenbaum making his final mistakes?
Wtf?
Kevin Sorbo can spell and use punctuation?
A unarmed mob chasing a guy armed with a rifle is idiotic. A guy with a rifle shooting one of the unarmed guys in the mob chasing him is equally as idiotic, though.Yeah, Rosenbaum was just chasing him with fifty other people to give him a hug. The guy who shot the gun just before was just celebrating their new found friendship with Kyle.
Maybe I'm missing something. Is he still culturally relevant to certain political groups or are we just being shitty toward people with brain injury? I can't tell the difference anymore.Wtf?

I think we all know that Rittenhouse is likely to walk free from this. I think that whether he is locked up or goes free, ultimately, it sends an equally as dangerous message to society, because either we are saying a) it's okay to insert yourself into a tense and dangerous situation as long as you have a gun and take out a couple of other people who were stupid enough to insert themselves into the same dangerous situation or b) it's not okay to defend yourself from an angry mob chasing you. Thanks to the combination of public stupidity, the incompetence of the prosecution, and the flamboyance of the judge in playing this out as everyone expected (and then acting like it's the media's fault for portraying him for whom he really is), there is no winning outcome.
It's the loss of subtlety that's the real criminal here.
I mean, if you're going to make this argument, that's fine... but it then requires some evidence that there WERE bad actors present, Rittenhouse knew there were bad actors present and believed he was shooting one, or was mistaken in his belief that bad actors were present and he was shooting one but at least had robust enough reasons for those beliefs that he was acting in good faith.There's literally 0 reason to protest in the middle of the night, and no this didn't happen at 6pm after everyone dipped out of their day job to go protest. The shooting happened at fucking midnight, it's easier for bad actors to conceal themselves, makes tracking of events a fucking shitshow. Our right to protest should be exercised, but if there's some reasonable degree of holding intent, then every single person there carries some of the responsibility to a degree.
Okay, if we're really going with this perspective on "dangerous situations" then every single person protesting at night is equally inserting themselves into a needlessly dangerous situation as well.

Regarding the AI/iPad commentary here a few pages back, I tuned into a few of the live streams. The reason the argument was brought up in the first place, was because they were using zoomed in drone footage to determine the angle which Rittenhouse had his weapon set to in this specific moment.

I don't know about any of you, but no matter what position I was in, if my fucking life rested on the balance and this was the "evidence" used to ascertain what I was doing in any given moment. I'd tell the prosecution to fuck off and find better evidence.
Devices that capture media absolutely spit out content that is inherently modified via algorithms and AI. No, it will not alter clear in focus subjects in a drastic way, but some shit in the background you had to zoom in on? Yeah your device is going to make estimations of what it's seeing and modify the result depending on the device/applications used.
There's an argument to be made for tech illiteracy in antiquated systems, but hold yourself to a higher standard and at least look into the situation. Anyone would contest evidence like that being presented as critical to convicting you on life sentence(s).
Why isn't ANYTHING done against/to a random youngster running around in public with an assault rifle acting super suspicious (or at all, really) considered automatic legitimate self defense?
