@LauraRbnsn The flaw here is in thinking that anyone really knows what it means to be a parent until they're actually a parent. Babysitting a kid as a teenager is nothing like waking up 8 times a night with a crying newborn for several months straight.

@KaladinFree Imagine if the NFL started singing Amazing Grace before a game and called it the White National Anthem. Wouldn't that seem divisive? There wouldn't be anything wrong with the hymn but calling it a white national anthem would immediately make it into something other than a hymn.

@mrcookwrites @physicsgeek I find it's the people who actually read the charges and the jury instructions who have the most issues with the case. It was built around a completely novel legal theory never tried before. That's not the right way to go after a political opponent. It smacks of corruption.

@gunfacts They could have sent uniformed agents to knock on the door and present the warrant and it's almost a guarantee that they would have been given access without resistance. It's not like guns can be flushed down the toilet. No need for a no knock warrant.

@BrandonHinkle16 @keithboykin The law said possession of a handgun or SBR was illegal under 18. A normal rifle was legal for someone between 16 and 18 to possess. Rittenhouse's rifle was not an SBR so it wasn't illegal for him to posses it. It's just one of the many things people got wrong about this case.

In fact, if we relied on headshots (we don't) then a 5.56 (AR15) would be great for deer. But it's not really powerful enough for chest shots on big game.

@AmiriKing True. And many people don't realize Martin was taller than Zimmerman. They think the old picture of him as a young boy is what he looked like when he attacked Zimmerman. He was not the size of a young child. He was the size of a grown man and witnesses saw him punching Zimmerman.
