"He isn't some killer" when he literally said he wanted to kill people. Him being a chickenshit doesn't change that.

You said he "isn't some killer."

He is, quite literally, a killer. By law, by public opinion, no matter what way you slice it.
Yes, I misspoke. I was trying to set he isn't just a stone cold killer.

Who is talking about a court case, here? We're talking about him as a person.

There are plenty of people that the law failed to properly condone, such as OJ Simpson.
I was talking about the court case. That's been my point all along. I've already agreed on his character.

And I agree the court failed. The verdict was correct but the charge was wrong and that's why justice wasn't done.

They actually have. It doesn't matter if you are gay, trans, Black, white, Latino, Russian, or Australian. All humans are capable of the same thing.

In the case of mutants, it's not an apples to apples comparison to real non fictional marginalized people. Black people are not and cannot be born with the innate ability to conjure a hurricane or melt ourselves into a puddle or whatever random lottery magical abilities.

Mutants are capable of any random lottery magical abilities that can range from harmless to apocalyptic scale.
Humans in the real world no matter your creed are not born with innate magical abilities that can range from harmless to apocalyptic.

What's being confused here is thinking the above means someone is saying bigotry is okay.
Yes but humans in the comic world can also get powers, yet aren't hated like mutants are. So the comparison still works.

"Racism" has been redefined (by some) as a systemic prejudicial practices, policies and attitudes based around race. As such no, white people generally cannot experience racism.

They can, however, experience prejudice based on their race. This is also a definition of racism (as far as I know it hasn't officially been changed to the former?)

But, at the end of the day, arguing the definition is just a lame way of dismissing whatever the original point being made is.

they are literally going to be coming in from a different universe (this/next) year? Perhaps I am wrong, but have they crossed over at all in any of the other MCU movies/shows (except like in the latest Dr. Strange when they literally came from another universe). The MCU as we've seen it in every other movie (in this era) has had no allusions to mutants or any of that politics at all. Which is why it would be kind of weird (unless they are going to wave it off as they are coming in from a different universe)
We're talking comics, not movies.

But there's an exemption for minors being able to posses long barrel rifles, specifically for hunting. And because of the vague way the law is worded, they were able to get the gun charged dropped, even though he clearly wasn't using it for hunting.

Type of gun? You mean a high-powered semi-automatic rifle? It wasn't a shotgun or single shot hunting rifle he procured. If AR-15's have less regulations than guns actually used for hunting then we are truly screwed.
I don't recall the specifics but I remember it was the specific type of rifle that is legal for him to have. And yeah, our gun laws are ridiculously screwed up. Good luck changing that, though.

It shouldn't have been, though. He was underage and so had his girlfriend's brother buy him the gun with money Rittenhouse gave him because he was of age. How is that not the same as having someone of age buy cigarettes or alcohol for a minor? It wasn't even a family member who bought it for him. He was also underaged while open carrying that night in Kenosha, if I'm not mistaken.
I thought it was due to the type of gun as to why it wasn't illegal? But yeah, if this is the case then the gf's brother should be charged.

I personally don't think it was fair when the judge refused to allow gun charges or his prior and post actions to be addressed during the trial.

Motive wasn't allowed to be established and that alone taints the trial for me. You can disagree, and that's perfectly fine, but I think a trial for murder should absolutely allow evidence of intent.

"I wish I had my gun" shouldn't have been dismissed by the judge. Hanging out with known white supremacists shouldn't have been dismissed. If that was indeed him on video beating the shit out of a teenage girl, that should have been allowed at the trial. Not to mention dismissing his charges of illegally obtaining a gun, crossing state lines, then using it in the act of a crime.
I hadn't been back to this topic, so sorry for the late response. I can certainly understand your POV. Those incidents could go towards his personality but also, it's not the same situation (beating a girl still makes him a coward in this case.) And apparently the gun was legal, otherwise they really should've went with Felony Homicide.

I was thinking they should've went for a lesser charge, personally. Proving intent wasn't going to happen with the video footage of him actually retreating. That's what made it a self defense claim. He wasn't the aggressor in the situation.

People who want to kill people don't need an excuse to do so. Case in point: his attackers.

He arrived to the protest and was there for hours without participating in any violence whatsoever and ran from the first sign of it. He had excuses all day and didn't use any of them.
Correct. Kyle is a coward and acted like it. He isn't done killer lol he literally ran away and was terrified. He was a stupid teen who talked big and bad but, when it came down to it, he caved. So while I agree he's revealing himself to be a huge POS, his trial had a fair outcome based on the evidence and charges.

That's because most people don't consider that particular move a "subspecialty." It's just airbending used lethally.

With metalbending and bloodbending you're finding bits of the element in something else and using it to bend that. The "breathbending" is just air.
