  • I recently ran into a bug in the latest version of cmake that breaks it completely in my system, can’t compile shit and it just does a coredump.

    What is worse is that I can’t even report the bug because I can’t get the registration email from the cmake gitlab. I checked the manjaro repos and their cmake version is 2 versions older than the one that has the bug that left me thinking for a while lol.













  • That video very clearly states that having the weapon is not provocation to attack.

    Also the breakdown of events from legal eagle is very bad, even hoeg law argued with legal eagle about that part of the video on twitter when they released it.

    He downplays that a man chasing you throwing stuff at you is not going to do any harm to you may not be self defense kek, he also says “self serving testimony” this is worse than the arguments that the actual prosecutor tried to make lmao.

    He also constantly says that one of the shots was in the back as if rittenhouse waited for him to fall on the ground to pop a shot in the back when all shots were in quick succession and the last one hit them as they were falling on the ground. He also says that a man does a “sort of a jump kick” when that was an actual jump kick to the head, that is aggravated assault in every sense of the word and that is more than enough to justify self defense but weird enough he downplays that.

    So no, those other would have never been justified in using self defense, they had no valid reason to start chasing and attack him in first place lmao.

    He even says that if WIsconsin had a duty to retreat the outcome of the case might have been different as if kyle tried to stand his ground…




  • And if some psycho has brought a weapon to a dangerous area to threaten people with you have every right to defend yourself by attacking them and trying to take their weapon.

    It is possible for situations to exist where both parties believe their life is in danger could claim self defense for killing the other. That is the situation Rittenhouse created here by going somewhere he had no business being with his gun. If any of those people he shot had killed Rittenhouse they could have claimed self defense and it likely would have been successful because their lives were quite literally in danger, evidenced by the fact that he killed them.

    You can’t just attack people because they have a weapon wtf. There is also no indication that kyle threatened anyone with their weapon to begin with, you’re just grasping for straws at this point.

    edit: Also you can’t really claim self defense if you CHASE someone for what? having a weapon? good luck with that. Recent example was the people that chased a black person in Georgia because they thought they were a burglar.


  • Oh yeah, what kyle did is very stupid. But what the others were doing is orders of magnitude more stupid.

    He brought a gun to an area he had no business being in to protect property. With his gun. What did he think he was going to do with it if not shoot people (take lives) to protect property?

    Not really, usually just having people armed is enough to deter others from looting, that’s more likely what they expected to happen.

    And it doesn’t matter because no looter was shot here.

    So yeah if you shoot at some people simply because they were looting you’re in big trouble, or maybe you are, in the end in the US trials are by jury and most likely than not if you are the owner of the place it is very likely that the jury would not found you guilty, don’t test it out though lol.


  • So people attack Rittenhouse and he shoots them in retaliation - perfectly acceptable

    Yeah, if some psycho comes running to grab my weapon, you have every right to defend yourself, people willing to attack you even when you are armed are willing to do a lot of harm to you.

    And in the second case they already began beating him up, including a jump kick to the head which is miracle they didn’t pass out from that. And the other person pointed their gun at them (yeah turns out also those people were armed).

    This guy attacks people with a fire extinguisher and gets punched in retaliation - Completely unacceptable

    Yes, because they worked at that place and it fucking sucks that people would come to it to burn it, and more importantly the person that sucker punched them wasn’t even being sprayed by the fire extinguisher, they were just mad that an old guy ruined his looting/arson fun.

    Also if the old guy had had a weapon and shot and killed the person that sucker punched them they would have walked away in any state, no fucking jury ever would convict such person and for a very good reason lmao.


  • And the legal punishment for that is losing your legs? Cops in the UK take down assailants with knives all the time without paralyzing them for life. If they then had a jury sentence them to have their legs cut off people would call it barbaric, but again, put them in front of an American cop and “they had it coming.”

    Poor guy. Also you’re starting in a very bad place if you are comparing US cops to UK cops, US cops constantly shoot people armed with knives and no one goes around “protesting” because of it, this case was because a very short video of only the shooting were the knife could barely even be seen was posted on twitter and misinformation about it spreaded instantly.

    Old man or no, he was assaulting people with a fire extinguisher and got assaulted in return. Why didn’t he “have it coming”?

    Oh right, because property is the most important thing and the property was in danger. “Won’t somebody please think of the property?!”

    Insane that you would defend such person that would sucker punched an old guy. While at the same fucking time having a problem that kyle defended themselves from being attacked. amazing.

    Also I don’t know what drama you have with property when the people that were killed were killed because they attacked someone that was armed. So yeah stop whining about that.
