    I read part of this thread and watch some of the testimony.  I get the arguments both sides are making.  The question that I have is if you approach someone with a gun, say "fuck you," and grab at it, does that give the gun owner the right to shoot you?  Even if you add it the crazy atmosphere and the erratic behavior, are you reasonably in such fear of death or serious bodily injury (or whatever the particular standard is) that you can then shoot the guy?

    Also the see post above yours. Or this longer copy of the testimony.

    he's on video wishing he could "shoot some shoplifters". Why would he go into an area of public unrest with a rifle if he did not want to shoot some shoplifters?

    Yeah. I know. The state wants to protect its little wannabe cop boy. It's why the cops doing the investigation did a shit job and why the prosecution has been doing the defense's work for them. It's how typical cop investigations go. It's sort of why there's so much anger and distrust towards cops, if you hadn't noticed.

    They're even using the exact same talking points, expert witnesses, and defense strategies that they teach in warrior cop trainings. 

    I think you’re wrong here. There’s a lot of intermingled family politics that I wasn’t aware of. One extended family is basically running poInt on this.

    Spoiler

    I will be in the courtroom for the duration of the political prosecution of Kyle Rittenhouse. Since the trial is streaming on millions of devices around the world, I won’t bore my readers with the same reporting that will be done by countless news agencies. The Kenosha News is putting out articles from the associated press even though they have a full-time assigned seat inside the courtroom. Maybe for once the Kenosha News editor doesn’t want Deneen Smith’s extreme left slant on the coverage of this case. What I will do, however, is point out things that those who are not intimate with this community, and even and some who are, do not know.

    Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian (D)

    Kenosha Mayor John Antaramain has been mayor since 2016 and was elected in 2020 for his sixth term until 2024. He also served as mayor from 1992 to 2008. After this term, he will have been mayor for 24 years. Many sources have told us he will not be seeking a seventh term because of the immense backlash from the Kenosha Riots of 2020. Most Kenosha residents view his response as very poor – he is the chief executive of the city, including the police department. We didn’t hear from him. He didn’t lead. Many joke that he was hiding in his basement. Some tell us he was hiding in Lake Geneva. We don’t know for sure – he wont tell us. John has a lot at stake in the Rittenhouse trial. He wants Kyle convicted. He wants Kyle to take the blame and distract us from his failures as our leader. Lucky for John, he has a lot of powerful family members in charge here in Kenosha. First off, the lead detective in this case is Benjamin Antaramian, his nephew. Benjamin wants Kyle convicted. Benjamin was very thirsty to connect Kyle Rittenhouse to the “Kenosha Guard” Facebook page. He grilled Dominic Black about if they had seen the page or not. They desperately wanted to connect the two. They could not. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook told this to the public twice, once on a Facebook Q and A and again in front of the U.S. Senate. This is a common myth that is repeated by the media and naive folks. Kyle came to Kenosha of his own accord on the 25th – to volunteer removing graffiti. Law enforcement at the federal level, Facebook, and other forensic reviews have determined there was no such connection. The “Kenosha Guard” was simply a plea for help when our local leaders like John the Mayor and Tony the Governor would not help. Benjamin will be sitting at the prosecutor’s table for every day of the trial. Today, he held up the rifles that were carried by Rittenhouse and Black, Kyle’s friend. The mayor’s cousin is the Kenosha City Attorney, Ed Antaramian (D). His nephew is the Kenosha City Judge Michael Easton (D). His other nephew is Thaddeus (Tip) McGuire (D), State Representative. His other cousin is Laura Belsky (D) County Board Supervisor. 

    During the remainder of this trial, remember, the mayor who let Kenosha burn has a surrogate in the court room – at the prosecutor’s table, actually.
     

    Kyle is “David” and the State of Wisconsin, with all of their resources is “Goliath.” The only thing that gives Kyle a fair and likely shot to win is the generosity of strangers that donated money to his defense. He now has a team of three sharp attorneys – among the best in the business. It’s now a fair fight.

    BLM Sympathizer Kenosha DA Mike Graveley, like his predecessor, Robert Zapf, loves the limelight and always prosecutes the high profile cases. Not this one. Mike knows the state cannot win. That’s why he’s leaving it to T. Clair. Let’s see what T. Clair’s excuse will be if he loses.

    I can’t vouch for any of the commentary, but the family connections are interesting as is the DA passing on trying such a high profile case personally.

    "Hey let's go chase down that guy with an AR-15!!! Yeah fuck that guy, man!"

    What could go wrong?

    Yeah I got chastised on CR for making fun of skateboard guy.
     

    Unless you’re Jason Bourne, attacking a guy holding an AR with your skateboard is 99% of the time going to end up in serious injury or death. What an absolute dumbass.

    I own some gbtc only because it was the best available option in my 401k. If your money is in gbtc in an account that you can withdraw from, then it definitely makes sense to pull the money out and just by the coin.

    It's similar to a closed exchange fund. Those typically trade with small discounts, like single digits. Given the other etf options available now, I don't think it gets back to par unless it's switched over to an etf. Grayscale has applied for that to happen. If/when TBD.

    All that being said, if btc goes 2-4x from here then gbtc will pump as well.

    if exit poling can be believed (always a dubious assertation) the GOP pulled 12-13% of the AA vote yesterday in VA.  That's a huge number for them.  Dems won't win many elections at that number if it were to hold nationwide (I don't suspect it will- but who knows).  Youngkin also is speculated to have carried the majority of hispanics.  SA just flipped a suburban Texas ledge seat in a 73% hispanic district.  You can say lots of bad stuff about Trump (and I sure as shit did), but he did better with minorities than any candidate since W, and they appear to maybe be sticking around?  

    In Texas at least that’s all about the border. Here’s his main ad. 
     

    The border is basically the worst polling issue for Biden. His approval rating on this abc poll for the border situation is 31%. It has a downstream effect

    GBTC still perplexes me. Down to around a 21% discount. I would think this is a buying opp but damn, does this think ever get back to trading even?

    I'm in the same boat.  WTF, if this thing isn't mooning now, will it ever?

    I'm thinking about cashing out of me GBTC and going into straight BTC the next time it pulls back a bit.  I was uncomfortable with owning BTC when I bought the GBTC shares, but that's not the case now.

    Get fucked, you piece of shit. The fact you or anyone has the mentality that it was a gun fight is why this country is going to shit. This used to be a country of ideas, and compromise, and conversation. The days of the city on on the hill as it relates to this country are dead, and it makes me sad. 

    Shots had already been fired at the point of the skateboard guy getting involved. So yeah it reached the level of gun fight at the point he got involved. Not sure what you don’t understand about that.
