    Everyone who defended him during the trial or afterwards has signed a blood pact with the man and has to continue to defend everything he ever does or says forever.

        I think people are misunderstanding this comment.

        I think he’s making fun of the idiots that continue to stick to a wrong opinion because they don’t want to say they are wrong.

          I defended him during the trial, and I was not wrong. He was innocent. He’s still an absolute piece of shit and dumber than a sack of weights, but the shootings were absolutely in self defense.

          I still defend his innocense in the trial specifically, and nothing else this piece of shit does.

          That’s what the blood pact comment was getting at. You can hate everything he’s saying and still believe he shot in self defense. The two are not mutually exclusive.

            I’ll be honest that I have only peripherally paid attention to the Rittenhouse trial, and maybe you can help me understand it a bit better.

            Didn’t he travel a good distance to “defend” a business, one he had no right or reason to defend with a deadly weapon? Was it really just that Washington is a “stand your ground” and not a “duty to retreat” state that made him innocent on that?

            If so, that’s definitely a good argument for a duty to retreat legal doctrine, because it’s one hell of a loophole to allow people to purposefully put themselves into a conflict, accelerate things with an open threat, and try to claim you did nothing wrong.
