However, the malcontents had different ideas and decided to play stupid games and win stupid prizes. And if Rittenhouse hadn't decided to travel there for the sole purpose of playing Rambo, it wouldn't have happened either. He went looking for this. You applaud him for bagging some bad guys, others struggle with the fact he specifically went looking for trouble. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem to have a problem with Rittenhouse yet you are strangely silent when it comes to Gaige Grosskreutz, who travelled from out of town and was obviously looking for trouble (which he subsequently found). Good rule of thumb, don’t riot and if you do don’t attack someone with an AR15. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has one Rep US Senator and one Dem US Senator. Due to extreme Republican Gerrymandering it has six Rep US Congressmen vs two Dem Congressmen and a near two thirds Rep majority in both houses of the State legislature. If the Reps pick up one State Senate seat they’ll simply be able to impeach and remove the new Justice. If that doesn’t happen and the new court orders an independent redistricting panel across the state, just wait for the Republicans to bitch and whine about how unfair and underhand it is for the Democrats to change the balance of power. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
