No, it’s the law around libel. Stand next to racists, have your defence funded by racists, be a cause celebre for racists and it’s going to be very easy for any lawyer to say “look at how he is associated with racists”.

The police, fire department, engineers, city workers you now deem to be racist.

Ok mate, you crack on lol
 
A: Agreeing to pose for photos with strangers?

B: Saying he would shoot shoplifters?

One of those two suddenly means he can be accused of being a white supremacist, racist, vigilante and domestic terrorist?

This is the now president describing a then 17 year old boy.

Its outrageous.
I always have my picture taking with ‘strangers’ making a white supremacist hand gestures.

I don’t mind arguing over legality.

But framing that the picture in that way was either *intentional* or extremely naive.
 
Zat, he's throwing the white power hand sign up whilst surrounded by Proud Boys, good chance he supports them muppets

Thats been debunked, both Biden and Trump use that 'ok' gesture. A Jewish chap called Jack Breuer (sp) used it to mimick Trump (who he supported) and it was also a 4chan hoax.

What we dont know is why Rittenhouse used the gesture.

I think its an enormous stretch to say he is a white supremacist based on a photo with strangers.

Also, along with the judge didnt include this Id say theres no evidence to support this theory.

He may well he one--but theres no evidence.

My view is solely that those people (including the president) should be held for account for their actions of spreading lies about a 17 year old through social media, print and television.

I think thats despicable. Now hes been found not guilty theyre doubling down.

The boy should sue them...

TBF that picture is the least relevant thing - as they’ve spent ages arguing, just posing for a photo doesn’t mean you share the opinions of those with you.

However taking the money and support of such types is relevant, especially in the context of that piece they are all whining over (where Rittenhouse was put with them in a sequence of images). Even with our libel laws the defence would be easy; in fact if it happens they will probably end up in the absurd situation of racists funding a legal argument of someone claiming they have nothing to do with racists.

That reads like you've been on a right wing subreddit and taken the points straight from there- I guess they were all deaf and were signing to each other, yeah?

As I stated, I’m not talking about legality. But again, saying it’s an enormous stretch that he’s a white supremacist when he posed with white supremacist throwing a wildly accepted white supremacist hand gesture is deliberately obtuse. Which is setting off massive alarm bells.

The grim thing about this is not that he has gotten away with it. From what little I know of US self defence laws it was always going to be the case, regardless of the inherent absurdity of someone travelling 20 miles with a gun into a live situation just to defend themselves.

It's that he has killed two unarmed people and is being treated as a national hero. He will now probably never grow up, sealed permanently into this pathetic culture warrior dweeb doing the rounds on Fox News harping on about leftists and woke culture

Yes. In the same way Elliot Rodger did for incels.
