  1. If Rittenhouse didn't bring an AR-15 to the protest, he wouldn't have to live the rest of his life with the fact that he killed 2 people. Strapping a weapon invites fear. And how strangers react to their own fear is a complete unknown. Going with the assumption that Rittenhouse is a "good kid", then he will probably be dealing with PTSD for the rest of his life. Why even put yourself in that situation? Is it a good thing if someone open carries a handgun into a bar/restaurant, which triggers someone with mental health issues to aggressively approach said gun owner, and the gun owner kills in self defense? Neither party wins in that situation. Does it benefit society? Does it make us safer?
  2. Look, the issue a lot of us have with this is very simple. Regular citizens should not be able to open carry and LARP as militia. Even moreso in these volatile situations. It should not be legal. Seeing a 17 year old do it with an AR-15 in hand is nauseating. It looks like the right verdict was reached. But there is understandable concern that we've opened Pandora's Box. Is looting good? Of course not. Is the answer to have any regular Joe legally open carry? FUCK NO. Feels like a lot of people on the right are actively hoping more citizens open carry in public. This is madness. Use your fucking brains.
  3. Incredible to think how we threw a bomb to go up 28-7 against OU in the first half - where I think the majority of Texas fans at that moment were thinking "shit, we are FUCKING GOOD" - to losing 6 straight games and trying to determine if we've truly hit rock bottom yet. Really shows how fragile this program has been over the last decade. Burning it down and starting over - at every level - is the only way forward. Hopefully everyone involved with the program eats their humble pie and is ready to go back to work next year.

  5. After one user on Patriots.win wrote, “Antifags and BLMKKK gotta be shitting. We have permission to defend ourselves now,” [sic] another responded, “We don’t need fucking permission and never did. But now, it’s a legal precedent.” One boogalooer on Twitter wrote: “WE CAN PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES NOW REFERENCING RITTENHOUSE V. Wisconsin.” On Telegram, QAnon John wrote, “This case is a MAJOR turning point in the quest for JUSTICE in our country. Especially in terms of the 2nd Amendment, and self-defense cases moving forward…The precedent set in this trial will be one that is revisited, and referenced for the unseeable future.” Also on Telegram, Aaron Chapman, the leader of the neo-Nazi group the Occidental Templars, praised the verdict as giving “good Americans legal precedent and license to kill violent commies without worrying about doing life in prison if we defend ourselves in a riot. This will also show militia types that they don’t have to avoid the riots to protect themselves legally.” One user in the Proud Boys public chatroom on Telegram shared an image of the snake from the Gadsden flag biting the fist from the antifa logo with the caption “YOU WERE WARNED.” Beneath it, the user wrote, “#Kyle #FAFO” (“FAFO” stands for “Fuck around and find out.”)
  6. There it is. There's the threat. immortal is "super happy" with the "justice" of random white people with guns having the opportunity to dictate if other citizens live or not.
  7. Incredible argumentative skills there. Bravo, Bravo.
  8. Imagine going to any kind of public protest moving forward, and some snot-nosed high school kid is open carrying an AR-15. Per the law, you basically have to cede control of your life to him. Don't say anything to him. It could be considered threatening. Don't even look at him. He could consider it a threat. Eyes down, move along. Random gun owners now rule our country, and don't you fucking dare forget about it.
  9. Not guilty, the kid is still a piece of shit. MAGA will make him a hero. Society continues to crumble.
  10. Looking forward to a world where rando people can open carry with weapons anywhere they want, and if someone provokes them they can shoot and kill in self defense. Very normal and very cool.
  11. Sure, anything is possible. Maybe they have too much Bulleit, haha.
  12. If I had to guess, people are settling for Bulleit because the overall selection is so shitty at this particular TW (West U), and they were probably close to running out.
  13. Took this pic last week at a Total Wine. What a world. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Agreed. And the bourbon chase has become so ridiculous that it's become one of the better $40 bottles easily available on the shelf.
  15. My guess is the 6 Dems knew it would pass before voting no.
  16. Biden assigning the border to Kamala was a lose-lose situation for her. Curious decision.
  17. Who names their kid Dickel???
  18. Agreed, it will be Biden or Harris. I would vote for her in a heartbeat over any Republican, but we do not want Kamala Harris to ever be the nominee. She does not have the political instincts or skill to survive the onslaught from the GOP.
