Those Other Lessons [To Be Learned] From the Rittenhouse Case

They should be learned, but in the folks most in need of the education probably won’t. (Although it does appear some in Kenosha figured this out.)

  • Mobs chasing innocent minors are not exercising peaceable free speech. Self defense applies.
  • Throwing objects at fleeing innocent minors is not peaceable free speech. Self defense applies.
  • Preemptively firing a gun as the innocent minor flees is not peaceable free speech. Self defense applies. (And funny how the prosecutor was careful to not put Ziminsky on the stand to be questioned.)
  • Mobs chasing innocent minors are still not exercising peaceable free speech. Self defense applies.
  • Hitting fleeing people in the head, knocking off their hat, is not peaceable free speech. Self defense applies.
  • Drop-kicking a kid down on the ground is not peaceable free speech. Self defense applies.
  • Hitting people with a skateboard is not peaceable free speech. Lethal self defense applies.
  • Pointing a gun at an innocent minor is not peaceable free speech. Lethal self defense applies.

Things that are peaceable free speech:

  • Non-inciting speech.
  • Non-inciting written words (signs).
  • Non-threatening gestures.
  • Silent marches.

If you wish to engage in protesting as a way of life, learning the differences between these things may be conducive to living out your full life expectancy. Failure to learn could earn you the life expectancy of a mayfly, Rosenbaum, or Huber.

  1. The DOJ or just-us department will come out with something so the Double Jeopardy clause is a dead letter.
    They don’t care if the young man has no assets and has never displayed any racial animosity.
    Any ends justifies the means of burning it all down better.
