Jack Posobiac sent a bottle to The prosecutor’s office after the verdict. After I read that, I found a local place here that had it in stock. It gets pretty good reviews, and I’m pretty sure I convinced one other guy in the shop to buy a bottle. Looking forward to trying it tonight.

 :rofl:

So, help me out here. All these Twitter-twerps be upset Kyle got a break because he white. No brother would get away with it. Amerikkka so raciss, etc. They mad about the verdict. My confusion is this: if a white kid w/ no rap sheet had been sent up for such obvious acts of self-defense, what possible chance could a black person have of exercising their right of self-defense? If the US is as white-supremacist as claimed? Especially when so many more black men would be hamstrung by having a criminal record in their background (casts suspicion on them, and bars them from legal gun ownership).

I know, I know, applying logic where it isn't wanted. Sigh.

I wish he could get a National (valid in all States and possessions) lifetime any gun, any caliber, any ammunition carry license.

Actually, with enough bodyguards, he could make a career out of stumping for gun rights, but wisdom is he shut up and go into a witness protection program.

He isn't going to get a job anywhere without changing IDs, I suspect.

I raise my glass to him and his attorney.

Saw something were they were going on about of course an all white jury, all white prosecution, all white defense, and a white judge were going to let off a white supremacist. 

Now I have zero idea about the race makeup of the jury.

So far quiet. At least I haven't seen anything mentioned yet.

Anyway, they just SPAC'd their company, so my guess is that Hafer and Best are getting ready to pull a golden parachute ripcord while the getting is good.

What is SPAC?

Yeah, I can see BRCC wanting to get the money while they can.  It seems like they've had their moment in the limelight.

Headlines on MSNBC

The Rittenhouse verdict is a symptom of a much bigger sickness in America

'There is no justice today': Family of man killed by Rittenhouse speak out

The Rittenhouse jury just endorsed an incredibly dangerous vision for America\

How will the U.S. react to the Rittenhouse verdict? The signs aren't good.

One of my hunting buddies snagged a bottle of Rittenhouse Rye.  We’ll be drinking a toast to Kyle this weekend.

'There is no justice today': Family of man killed by Rittenhouse speak


Which man? The guy who raped kids, or the guy who kidnapped a woman and held a knife to his grandmother?  I would think that most families would breathe a sigh of relief at having those risks removed.

As for abolishing the police rallies, this situation is what happens when Gov. abdicates it’s duty to keep the peace. People who care about their communities will eventually step up, and they will be less reserved in their actions than a professional police force would be. Kyle’s actions were essentially a best case scenario for what could happen if people finally feel like they have to do their own policing. He only fired when given no other choice, he made split second decisions not to fire when people withdrew, and he only hit what he aimed at. I’d bet if you put 95% of the population into his exact scenario, there would be quite a few more dead and injured. The kid really impressed me with his restraint and skill. Plus, his trigger discipline was great, unlike flufferboy2004 who tried to Alec Baldwin the jury.
