Ongoing Adventures of Kyle Rittenhouse

[Thermal]

What should be the expected outcome of going to a bar late at night with a short skirt? That's consent right there.

No, a bar is a meeting place for socializing, usually with more than a nodding acquaintance with compliance with law, and often security or at least 911. Regardless of skirt length, the social contract is in place. She should have no reason to expect to be raped on a poll table.

A riot is a violent place where mother ******* are off the leash. Do you have an answer to my question?

 

[Matthew Best]

She should have no reason to expect to be raped on a poll table.

American elections are endlessly fascinating.

Just a note that, when I wrote the thread title, I thought that this could be a place where we could discuss what Kyle Rittenhouse is up to, not Jussie Smollett, rape analogies or assault fantasies. I am not a moderator, but I thank you all for your consideration.

 

[Brainster]

I'm more interested in the Ongoing Adventures of Jussie Smollett.

There will be a lot less amused speculation around here about Juss-Juss getting gang-raped than there was about Ky-Ky.

Can you guys take that **** to the Jussie thread, as carlitos requested? Not everyone cares about Jussie and it has zero relevance to this case.

 

[Thermal]

Can we fantasize about who Kyle would shoot if he ran across Jussie getting adventurously and ongoingly raped?

 

[Ziggurat]

No, a bar is a meeting place for socializing

And for meeting people to have sex with.

A riot is a violent place where mother ******* are off the leash.

I don't accept that riots are themselves acceptable. I don't accept that people can unilaterally choose to abrogate the social contract that you can't just assault people. I don't accept that being present and abiding by the law constitutes any form of consent to be assaulted.

And you aren't noble for thinking that it is.

Do you have an answer to my question?

I think I've made my answer clear: I don't think it matters after the fact. Just like it's worth pondering how short a skirt you should wear BEFORE you go to the bar, but is really of no concern afterwards.

 

[Thermal]

I don't accept that riots are themselves acceptable.

I didn't say it was. But there it is: a lawless and violent situation.

I think I've made my answer clear:.

You have not. You've answered other questions that aren't being asked.

Posit: Jussie Smollett is being ongoingly gang raped on a pool table by men who have matching t-shirts on that say "Violently Gang Raping Men Against Their Will Over Here R Us". Kyle adventurously walks in the middle of it. What can Kyle reasonably expect to happen?


Eta: we really do need a thread dedicated to the scope of self defense. This argument comes up a lot.

That's too far out of my experience to judge. Perhaps you have experience in such matters.

But I am less concerned by what I should expect to happen than I am in what I think people are justified in doing. One reason is that sometimes my expectations aren't justified because I don't fully understand a situation, another is that events can violate even fully justified expectations.

People are justified in being in public obeying the law. They are justified in defending themselves if attacked. They are not justified in attacking people unprovoked.

I worry occasionally about the livelihoods of hookers and porn stars too.

Now you’ve made me concerned. I’ll have to do some looking into that.

So, we can talk about if Kyle is going the Winter Olympics and how that may impact the livelihood of hookers in the area?

 

[shemp]

I think "Ongoing Adventures of Kyle Rittenhouse" should be a reality show. Just put him in a house with several like-minded yokels and goons, give them some loaded guns, and leave the cameras running.

What, has he qualified for Biathlon? I'm not sure how good a skier he is, but he's got the shooting part down pat.

 

[TurkeysGhost]

How much mileage you figure he gets out of this?

I can't recall how long Zimmerman was a right wing media darling, but it wasn't too long before he was resorting to being a professional scumbag, signing confederate art and the like for pocket change.

Doesn't really seem like it's worth it, a lifetime of stigma just to eek out maybe 6 months to a year of puff pieces on fashy podcasts.

Well, he'll probably at least get a book deal out of it, I imagine.

It may not be "worth it" for the fame and fortune, but at least he is alive.

Some patriots even go as spectators. And to check on the livelihood of the local hookers. For research. And some go to sit in a booth with a microphone and talk to like minded patriots back home about how unAmerican so many foreigners are. Surely OAN will find KyKy doing some of the above.

Will it be one of those books where you can pick alternate endings?

 

[Warp12]

Will it be one of those books where you can pick alternate endings?

A romance angle and lover's quarrel with Rosenbaum?

 

[Dr. Keith]

Will it be one of those books where you can pick alternate endings?

I heard it was a picture book. That’s the vogue amongst the GQP now.

Being able to kill people (the right kind of people) and escape legal consequences for doing so is a common power-fantasy of conservative gun owners, and anyone who manages to accomplish that in real life will attain celebrity in that community as a symbol of vicarious wish-fulfillment. This isn't surprising or compelling stuff.
