You don't have to pontificate on the details in an effort to make yourself look intelligent. I was looking for a simple yes or no, not some roundabout esoteric psychology trip. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Twitter is helping or hurting society with regards to the social issues we're dealing with. I think Twitter is definitely a detriment to helping find solutions to almost any issues. It gives a forum for the least educated on any topic the ability to pontificate to a large audience without a proper chance for those who are educated to respond. That does not mean it has no good features but on big issues it makes any deep thoughts difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(From aunt of Blake’s victim) Who is saying they love him? i do see A LOT of Kyle rittenhouse is a true American patriot though. That we should aspire to hold it down like he does. This video making the rounds currently makes it uncomfortable with that celebration. https://mobile.twitter.com/EyesLeftPod/status/1299810351786074112 I’ll say it 100 times over. There’s a difference between humanizing and idolizing. Sometimes it’s been crossed in these shootings, no doubt, but I think a lot of the folks criticizing are making no distinction and that’s lame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamala Harris told Blake she was proud of him. I realize pride is different than love but either sentiment is terrible in regards to this guy. He is a bad guy regardless if you think the cops overreacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is she discussing anything with him? Blaje is a scumbag and did dumb things that day when he disregarded the cops. Rittenhouse was trying to do the right thing and did a dumb thing in getting involved with people who wanted to kill him. I am curious why you think Blake is the better person of the two?

Orlando Tim Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 1 minute ago, NoSaint said: I am curious where I said “Blake is the better person” You did compare them and the reaction- Blake is a scumbag by almost any definition while Rittenhouse seems to have gotten himself in over his head with people who were willing to kill him. The proud of Blake from Kamala seems worse to me than any official support of Ritte house has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, it doesn’t make much sense for me to engage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read our last two interactions on this and I do not understand what your point is here if not to condone her praise of an alleged rapist who ignored a restraining order. What is your point?

Timmy, my man, I’m going to ask a third time... ready... deep breath and focus: where do you see me saying Blake is a better man than rittenhouse? if that incredibly basic question is too much for you, I’m not sure why you think I would want to discuss complex national issues with you.

Even if you believe it to be a valid self defense claim.... to be using the posted video of the kid beating some girl up as the post to reply to had a certain amount of irony that seemed to be lost on ol Timothy.

Rittenhouse put himself in a bad situation and is not a hero but he is not as bad as Blake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
