4. He was 17 & still in high school when he shot 3 people, killing 2.

8. And your point

is?

How times have changed: WW2 my 17 year old cousin was rejected for service because he was color blind. He enlisted in the Sea Bees and spent the war in the Pacific stringing communication lines while the Japanese shot at him.

Never spoke of it until he was 90 years old.

2. Believe what Moscow Mitch was really saying was........

If they're republican white boys, we celebrate!

5. If I were a cowardly kid whose most effective technique

to take the heat off himself was to turn on the waterworks, that’s what I might do to move a jury deciding my fate.

And if they fell for it and let me off, I could go back and get more big fearsome firearms to parade around with in public and play big ol’ Paramilitary Man and show the world what a big ol’ tough guy I am.



Full disclosure: I don’t know this kid. Don’t know much about him. That’s just how his behavior displays in court strike me, based on what I’ve observed, as a mom, in other kids through the years.

6. How about

we round up all these individuals who love parading around civilians with their assault weapons and military garb. Then we draft them and take them directly to a military base for training. Then transport them to a war zone and let them do their thing for real???????

I can only imagine what most of these "tough" guys we see at all the demonstrations, armed with assault weapons and full military garb would do if the people they confronted shot back.......

7. AND THE LATEST CRUSHING ON KYLE....

Video taken by Fox News outside the Kenosha County, Wisconsin courthouse on Wednesday morning shows an unnamed, totally based MAGA patriot complying with sheriff's deputies after they inform him they're within 1,000 feet of a school and he can't be carrying a weapon there without a concealed carry permit. They didn't have to pry it from his cold dead hands after all, since he willingly walked with them so they could run his license to check for outstanding warrants.

9. He done a Bad Thing.

He went and killed some people. Put himself where he could.

But . . . white boy . . . gun culture . . . One of Us . . . a Brave American protecting property . . . self defense . . .

Only leaves one question really:

Will the US legal system also do a Bad Thing and pat him on the head, give him a lollipop and Seal of Approval and send him home?

The rest of the world is watching and wondering. The air is thick with 'WTF is America turning into?'
