Dukestreetking Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Holy crap, once again I can't believe the lack of knowledge of "facts in evidence" re this case, as presented vs privileged self-defense and citizen arrest law in Georgia. I mean, GD, the law is the freaking law. That said, the three will likely be found guilty, not so QED, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result, clearly, was that bad sh%t happens when bad people are allowed to rage unabated, and sometimes, the bad guys lose. If everyone stays home, none of this happens. Two wrongs make a right. Makes perfect sense. Hoax. It’s stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Two wrongs making a right Bblah blah... lol what is this thread , a nursery rhyme? It’s also not applicable here, as Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t do anything wrong. Edited November 23, 2021 by Boatdrinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, you wanted to take the broad view on the Rittenhouse saga, but only to the point where civil unrest rules the day and everyone chills out. Seems narrow for a broad view, but have at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this guy following me? I'm not doing anything. What does he want? Is he going to jump me or something? This guy is acting "suspicious". That's likely what Martin was thinking. What was Zimmerman's motive for following Martin? Simply because he thought he looked or acted "suspicious"? Zimmerman was a private citizen, not an officer of the law. He has no legal right to question or detain anyone on a public street that is not actively involved in a crime. To me this is consistent with the scenario with the defendants in Georgia. I remember being followed when driving one night, by a police patrol. This is how I experienced and felt about being "followed". My wife and I had just left a family gathering at around 11 PM across town. About 3/4 mile away from the party I'm sitting at a red light and a local cop pulls behind me. Long story short, he's glued to my bumper for about 6 miles through 7 or 8 left and right turns. And follows me right down my street and as I turn into my driveway and patrol car passes by. As I was doing nothing illegal, exhibited no signs of erratic driving or speeding, and the worst thing on my driving record is an expired inspection sticker, I viewed this as plain and simple harassment. My conclusion was the cop was a dick weed that was trying to panic me into doing something stupid to give him an excuse to pull me over. But I wasn't going to let it happen. My initial urge was to get on the phone and file a citizens complaint with the township's chief of police but I reconsidered because I concluded I'd get no redress doing that and it would lead to further acts of harassment. That happens right here in tidy Orchard Park. They nailed a Bills relative doing that about a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
