Some stuff along with some other stuff.

I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said “You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.” And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans.

Then I finally read about the case, which really does speak about police corruption and laziness.. But also makes it really fucking obvious that this was a revenge killing, and in no way self defense at all.

all the villains looks at each other than shrugs.

Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Will Decide Whether Americans Can Go to Protests They Disagree With and Murder People

One thing to consider is what happens when the shoe is on the other foot. Daniel Alan Baker was convicted of threats against protesters. He wanted people to bring guns to the Florida statehouse to defend against MAGA attacks on our democracy. He was convicted of threats. Kyle Rittenhouse went to a protest he was ideologically opposed to and shot three people. The case’s decision has implications…

He didn’t go to Kenosha to shoot people. He brought a med kit and his EMT training (he was in a firefighter/EMT cadet program), he helped at least two injured people (that I’ve heard about), and he ran around with a fire extinguisher putting out fires, including the dumpster that people were trying to push into a freaking gas station.

He ONLY fired his weapon when he was on the ground being lunged at by an agitated, violent man who (though Kyle didn’t know this at the time) had just gotten out of a psychiatric hospital and had earlier been convicted for severe crimes against 5 children aged 9-11. This man had also directly threatened to kill Kyle multiple times and throughout the night had tried to provoke him (and failed). Again, Kyle didn’t shoot him because of threats or because of his record. Kyle shot him when Kyle was on the ground with this guy lunging at him and grabbing his (Kyle’s) gun.

The next myth is that Huber and Grosskreutz were just trying to stop an active shooter. The problem is that as far as we know, neither of them knew that Kyle had shot Rosenbaum.

Grosskreutz testified, and his video recordings support this, that he ran up to Kyle and asked him what was going on. In the video, Kyle says “I’m going to get the police.”

Grosskreutz testified that he misheard Kyle and thought he said “I’m working with the police.” Grosskreutz testified he had no other knowledge of who Kyle was or what had happened at that time.

On only the (false) information that Kyle was “working with the police” (perhaps an informant), Grosskreutz pulled his gun and went after Kyle.

Kyle fell because he was lightheaded from having just had to shoot someone. He gets jump-kicked in the head by an unidentified man, fires two shots, and the man who kicked him runs off, never to be seen again and never coming forward as a witness.

Then Huber hits Kyle with his skateboard (and if allowed to continue Huber easily could have killed Kyle with that skateboard, those things can do damage) and Kyle shoots Huber, who stumbles away and goes down.

Grosskreutz approaches Kyle with his hands up, and Kyle LOWERS HIS WEAPON. Then Grosskreutz moves closer, and simultaneously reaches to grab Kyle’s gun and points his own pistol at Kyle’s head.

Again, only at that moment, with Grosskreutz moving to take Kyle’s gun and with a pistol pointed at Kyle’s head, only then does Kyle shoot. He strikes Grosskreutz in the bicep, which stopped the threat. Remember, the goal in self-defense is not to kill, it’s to STOP the threat. Sometimes that results in the threat dying. Other times it results in a “vaporized” (Grosskreutz’s word) bicep.

After all that, Kyle reaches the police who still had no idea what was going on, didn’t understand that Kyle was surrendering, and actually pepper sprayed him for approaching them. Kyle does not shoot anyone else.

If Kyle Rittenhouse was intending to hunt rioters, he could have killed so many more people. If he was intending to use deadly force to protect property, he certainly would have killed several more people.

Instead, he showed up to clean up graffiti and render first aid to the very rioters that the media is accusing him of hunting. He also put out fires, one of which could have killed many people if the rioters had been allowed to push the flaming dumpster into a gas station.

Please actually watch the trial. Or read articles/watch videos from people who actually know what they’re talking about, like Attorney Andrew Branca and Rekieta Law.

CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and other media outlets have OUTRIGHT LIED about basic facts from the trial. Not just “framing.” They literally have told you things that are factually untrue.

So many people this week are waking up and realizing that Kyle wasn’t a white supremacist, didn’t shoot any black people, and didn’t “go hunting” as the media claimed.

Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks (super leftist) admitted she was wrong and said that in fact it does look like Kyle was the one being attacked.

Jews: you can read the torah and Tanakh in a normal book if you want. But if you want a torah you can use as a congregation? *cracks knuckles* you must prepare paper made from the skin of a kosher animal and special ink and a quill made from a turkey feather and you must use no metal in the preparation process because metal is used in the creation of weapons for war and before you even think about actually started to write you must take The Holy Bath to purify yourself and ritually blot out the name of Amalek, the sworn enemy of the Jewish people and every time you write the name of god on the scroll you must say it out loud and recite a special prayer and if you mess up one letter you have to start over and when the scroll is finished you must wrap it in tapestries and pretty cloth and shit and then put little crowns on the end and then put it in a Super Special Box in the synagogue so every time it’s time to read it you can open the Super Special Box and everyone can gawk at the Ultra Big Boy Important Text and the words of god within the scroll. this entire process takes about a year to complete and is done by special sofer’s that devote their lives to making Torah’s specifically and when you read from the torah you must use a little tiny pointer in the shape of a hand so your hands don’t mess up the paper. Oh, you think I kid? You think I jest?

Think again.
