Publicity, it's what he does

Some white bigots are finally convicted of hunting and killing a black man, and some of you come her to attack a black man for being interested in seeing that conviction happen. Interesting that your concern on that part of this story. Very interesting

"A black man"? No... But a race hustler like Sharpton?

I agree with the verdict. But, I don't think a jury should ever be exposed to any possible influence, except the lawyers and the witnesses who present the evidence in the case. The trial was broadcast on television for anyone who wanted to view it.

Getting justice in one of two, is at least a baby step in righting our very lopsided system against people of color. To keep working on actually balancing the scales and scouring out the systemic racism that some don't even believe exists, will take a successful prosecution of this person also - and sanctioning two of the attorneys in the Ahmaud trial (black pastor whiner/toenail woman).

I do not buy that you can take a weapon like that into a riot area and make a self-defense argument unless you are law enforcement and are also doing things with the law and other ethical codes on your side. For instance, I cannot see a law enforcement officer shooting rioters as they come out of a store carrying electronics or whatever.

And I give this kid in Kenosha the benefit of the doubt as to why he carried a weapon like that into a riot area.

Binger wanted to make a name for himself at Kyle's expense, a terrible thing to do to a law abiding 18 year old.

It would not surprise me if the prosecution team was investigated for ethics violations, fifth amendment issues, asking witnesses to lie, not producing the jump kick thug who they had identified, providing a much poorer quality video than they had belatedly to the defense and Binger mishandling the AR-15 with his finger on the trigger. Indeed, the index (trigger) finger is now being referred to as the "Binger finger" by many.

He did not shoot rioters coming out of a store. In self defense he killed thugs who were attempting to kill him.

Many of the thug rioters and arsonists were armed.

He was carrying a weapon that could inflict deadly wounds very quickly. I do not think anyone that approached him was going to try to kill him when he had that weapon. I just give his youth the benefit of the doubt. An older man or woman who did this should have the book thrown at them given the same facts.

Not even close to being true. Jump kicker, skate board guy and the thug pulling the gun on Kyle were doing him bodily harm and likely attempting to kill him. Kyle acted in self defense. Fortunately he was armed and killed two violent criminals and shot a third. I am quite relieved he killed the heinous serial child molester as he unknowingly did society and future victims a great favor.

That is his livelihood

[CaptainMeso]

Yes of course what strikes me is the different news coverage of both outcomes.

[Bandb875]

It's kind of hard to read someones mind, that's why they rely on facts.

Overall sad situation. Sad that an 18 year old had to do the job I would have had the National Guard do.
