A 9mm Luger round has a muzzle energy of about 350 ft-LBs with a velocity of around 1100 ft/second. A .223 Remington (55 weight) FMJ (what Kyle had loaded) has a muzzle energy from 1200 - 1300 ft LBs with a velocity over 3000 ft/sec.At point blank range, what's the difference between an AR-15 and a handgun?
And both will kill you at that range just the same.A 9mm Luger round has a muzzle energy of about 350 ft-LBs with a velocity of around 1100 ft/second. A .223 Remington (55 weight) FMJ (what Kyle had loaded) has a muzzle energy from 1200 - 1300 ft LBs with a velocity over 3000 ft/sec.
So quite a bit different. IOW, don’t attack a guy armed with a .223 with a 30 round magazine because you don’t like that he’s putting out your little fires.
with an AR-15 assault rifle.
He wound up shooting -- and killing -- 2 people and injured a third.
Says the guy excusing the stupid shit of a wanna-be vigilante. I agreed with the not-guilty verdict but that doesn't excuse his conduct that night.
I hope not. This needs to happen more and more until it finally comes to a head. BLM and Antifa cannot coexist with the rest of us in society, so they need to be beaten down into forced submission. Boot on the neck.Maybe liberals will think twice about rioting and looting if this happens more often. 🤔
Ignore the fact he went to a BLM protest with an AR-15 rifle.
Yeah, I've been brainwashed into believing that a 17 year-old attending a BLM protest (one that had become violent the previous evening) with an assault rifle under his arm was an incredibly stupid and dangerous thing to do.lol you're clearly told being what to think by the same news outlets that will soon be forking over huge sums of money to KR for openly lying and defaming him.

If that constitutes 'defamation,' I'll take the risk.
Bullsh!t. Point out where I made that claim or STFU.You've openly made the claim that he is a "white supremacist" and yet offered not one shred of proof
Administering aid? Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Rittenhouse wasn’t trained to administer the kind of aid that was needed that night.The most telling thing here is that all of your faux condemnation is reserved for KR, all because he was legally carrying a rifle while administering aid to people who needed it
Ahmaud arbury. There goes your argument as usualLast I checked, the Webster definition of victim is a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action.
But the judge tells the prosecution that the term is "too loaded" to be used --- yet the terms, "rioters" and "looters" can? Yeah, this trial is going to be impartial.
Those of you who swear there's not racial bias in our judicial systems, tell me with a straight face that the judge would have said the same thing to the prosecution if the defendant was Black.
Cubs is a moron. Blinded by his leftist teachings from any reality. I cant wait for Rittenhouse to own CNN
Totally not defamation according to Cubs. Just an opinion that doesn't affect the way people look at Kyle in any way.
And Biden did it before he was elected, limiting his executive privilege card. At most he can postpone some of it.He should sue the shit out of every news organization that provided liars to push a lie about this kid - to also include the President who ran campaign ads falsely accusing KR of being a white supremacist.
Defamation is real and he will have an abundance of targets to include his his lawsuit.
Actually, he was. He's had several courses.Administering aid? Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Rittenhouse wasn’t trained to administer the kind of aid that was needed that night.
Kyle has been demonized 10x worse than Zimmerman ever was, and Kyle was 1/10th the asshole Zimmerman was.

WTF? I've taken several Chemistry courses. Does that make me a chemist?Actually, he was. He's had several courses.
Claim to be EMTs? You mean LIARS?Many people who claim to be EMTs and paramedics aren't certified either. They are just often supervised by those who are.
LOL Look in the mirror.Seriously, get off that straw man argument
You are arguing with someone who literally thinks they know more than virologists and physicians do. He is an intellectual fraud of the highest degree.WTF? I've taken several Chemistry courses. Does that make me a chemist?
Claim to be EMTs? You mean LIARS?
Rittenhouse was not a certified EMT, even though he’d told a bunch of people that night -- including an interviewer from The Daily Caller -- that he was.
LOL Look in the mirror.
Your rant might be relevant if he were accused of hurting someone he was trying to help and unqualified to provide aid to.WTF? I've taken several Chemistry courses. Does that make me a chemist?

Rittenhouse was no EMT out to 'help the world' that night. He was just an impressionable teenager who made an already high-stress situation more emotional and dangerous by bringing an AR-15 assault rifle to the scene.what’s the point?
LOL…Rittenhouse was no EMT out to 'help the world' that night. He was just an impressionable teenager who made an already high-stress situation more emotional and dangerous by bringing an AR-15 assault rifle to the scene.
I wouldn't have found him guilty of murder but his actions were incredibly stupid that night. No amount of after-the-fact 'hero-building' is going to change that.
Kyle should go back to playing Call of Duty on his Xbox. No real people die that way.Maybe if we had a few more Kyle's we wouldn't have this lefty rioting issue?
You MIGHT want to make sure you've read the thread before making a fool of yourself.LOL…
All of a sudden you “wouldn’t have found him guilty of murder?”
If you volunteer and are even paid to work under a chemist for months, let alone years, you are a chemist in technical experience, yes. But no, you may not be certified.WTF? I've taken several Chemistry courses. Does that make me a chemist?
People claim to be engineers ... constantly. And yes, they are licensed. Heck, in Canada you cannot even call yourself an engineer without a license!Claim to be EMTs? You mean LIARS?
He said he was an EMT, he never said certified! Dude, you are splitting hairs!Rittenhouse was not a certified EMT, even though he’d told a bunch of people that night -- including an interviewer from The Daily Caller -- that he was.
I'm actually reading lawyers ... are you? No, because Facebook and other social media are censoring the lawyers.LOL Look in the mirror.
Hopefully we end up with hundreds of Kyles, all over the country. If the police won't maintain order, then the militia can do their job.Call it what it was...a lefty riot which is typical looting and burning down cities. Maybe if we had a few more Kyle's we wouldn't have this lefty rioting issue?
Hopefully we don’t. No one should have to go through a life threatening assault and then have their life turned upside down for years just for defending themselves.Hopefully we end up with hundreds of Kyles, all over the country.

That's exactly why we need them. An effective deterrent to liberal shenanigans like looting and arson may bring them to an end. Plus, we need more people out there that aren't afraid of killing child molesters. That's beneficially to society.Hopefully we don’t. No one should have to go through a life threatening assault and then have their life turned upside down for years just for defending themselves.
Oh I’m perfectly fine with people armed and able to defend themselves. I just hope no one gets out in that position. Because the process is extremely punitive and the leftist hate mob that cares not for facts and has no boundaries on intimidating courts and juries will go further and further to make sure that their vision of Justice is done. I would not want to be in the defendant’s chair today, no matter how strong my case was. Look at how far the zealous prosecutor went to try to persecute KR. His only saving grace was that it was all on video and yet there are still a lot of people that are absolutely certain he walked out there and shot people for no reason.That's exactly why we need them.

You're forgetting one key part: we are winning this battle. The left made total asses out of themselves on the Rittenhouse trial and a lot of people saw that. They are losing the sympathy of people that still inherently want justice to be blind. Let the idiots keep going full-on REEEEEEE! and the world will take note.Oh I’m perfectly fine with people armed and able to defend themselves. I just hope no one gets out in that position.

You have 2 choices: either the tree of liberty is watered by the blood of patriots, or the tree of communism is watered by the blood of the proletariat.No, this is not what we need.
We need people who are smarter and don't get cornered. The best militias are the ones who never have to fire.
Kyle was young and stupid, was segmented and then attacked. Granted, the populace is getting full on destructive, and went after Kyle, who was forced to defend himself, but Kyle is not the solution.
It's mature militia, not young kids. Domestic terrorists are domestic terrorists, but deterrence, not death, is the solution.
No, sorry, I stand for restraint as much as freedom.You have 2 choices: either the tree of liberty is watered by the blood of patriots, or the tree of communism is watered by the blood of the proletariat.
Those are the options we have left. Choose or get out of the way.
Those arent the only options, they arent even realistic options. You are buying far too much into right wing hysteria. Seriously, we always havent agreed on everything, but I never thought of you as being the civil war radical type. Whatever you are listening to or reading, find something else.You have 2 choices: either the tree of liberty is watered by the blood of patriots, or the tree of communism is watered by the blood of the proletariat.

Hey Cubs79, you're thinking of the old Crazyhole of four years ago. I'd already known that guy on the boards for over 13 years at the time. That guy was opinionated but also fair and damn funny.Seriously, we always havent agreed on everything, but I never thought of you as being the civil war radical type.
I would prefer an amicable divorce between the blue and red states because it is becoming increasingly clear that there is no common ground left to work with. Sure, politicians on both sides can come together and agree on spending a bunch more money that we don't have, but that isn't representative of the population. I have nothing in common with race baiters, people that believe there are more than 2 sexes, that misgendering someone is assault, that think we are destroying the climate and population control is the only solution, or those that would like to take my personal autonomy away. If that's what you want, go right ahead and do it but leave me out. If you'd like to press the issue, violence is a last resort but it is always on the table.Those arent the only options, they arent even realistic options.

40%? Therein lies the problem. The federal government has done a fabulous job of making people dependent on them and it isn't necessary. Outside of politicians, right leaning people would love to put an end to this crap but liberals love it. We can't come to agreement on it, so just split the thing up. Either that or your side has to capitulate under the weight of its own stupid, self destructive ideas.Several things to this nonsense. First off, red state-blue state is just a term for electoral politics, but there arent actually red and blue states, every state is purple. There are millions of Republicans in California, just like there are millions of Democrats in places like Florida and Texas. So unless everyone just moves, then the problems you are worried about arent going to end if the country splits up, and in some cases might get worse. Secondly, do you understand how much federal money many poorer states, which tend to be red states receive? My states budget is made up with approx 40% of money from the Federal goverment. In other words, Southern states would end up being extremely poor without the Federal government. Places like Florida, Lousiana, Texas, would have to certainly raise taxes, or insurance premiums, because Uncle Sam would no longer be around to pay cleanup and rebuilding after hurricanes and what not. And thirdly, if the US fell apart, then China becomes the defacto world leader, which I dont think anyone outside of China wants.
You are sounding more and more like someone who is being radicalized, not unlike what we see with Muslims who commit terror attacks, or many people who go on shooting sprees, etc. Stop reading what ever BS you are reading, it is making you a crazy person.
