    People built a statue to a mosquito that gave some dictator malaria. Time to erect a statue to a hero spider.

    Sadly spider bites are rarely dangerous these days especially if you make it to the hospital.

    How on earth has this nothing of a person become like… celebrity gossip?

    Wild that anyone other than maybe his family knows or cares he got a spider bite or that he’s in the hospital.

    The GQP can turn any little turd into a grifter, can’t they?

      He is a double murderer who cross state lines with an illegally obtained firearm and then got off because racism is second only to capital in the hierarchy of the US and he’s the right color.

      It’s pretty easy to see why ‘news’ agencies would love to promote him, people will always click, either out of concern or schadenfreude

        Nothing he did was illegal. He was a massive dumbass and intentionally put himself in a situation where he would need to use that weapon. But, being a massive dumbass isn’t illegal. I know we all wish it was in this case.

          He open carried while underage. He illegally received a weapon. He crossed state lines in order to commit those crimes, making him a felon. He then antagonized and murdered two people, while severely injuring a third. He did not do so in self defense, and the fact he committed a felony during the shooting removes his right to claim self defense in the united states.

          Most of what I just said was intentionally barred from the Jury during the trial, resulting in the Jury not having all facts at the time, resulting in him going free, despite committing first degree murder amongst other felonies.

          He took a picture with the judge afterward, which for any competent government would allow the state to appeal the Jury’s verdict.

          You were taken in by propaganda, or you were ignorant of the circumstances of the trial and all of the evidence withheld by the judge. You are no longer that way. Try not to ever become that way again in anything.

          If I come to your house and start screaming threats at you while waving a gun around, you’d be the one defending yourself, not me.

        The claim was the firearm was already in Wisconsin, no carrying over state lines necessary. As for the rest, I don’t think that state had any laws on the books re that firearm, wth open carry, iirc. After that it comes down to a court deciding whether or not the shooting was just, which was up to 12 people who were not us.

        Remember, every state has different gun laws, some of which have none, only leaning back on 2A as their one regulation.

        Regardless of the shooting circumstances, what kind of person do you have to be to allow yourself to be paraded around like this? Says something about his general mentality and implies sordid things about the shooting itself.

          People don’t seem to understand how strong the open carry law is in Wisconsin. I live in Milwaukee. The rules for the RNC were crazy. It had a hard zone that nobody, but the people attending the event could enter and a soft zone that people were allowed to be to protest which was further out. You weren’t allowed anything that could be used as a weapon in the soft zone, even water bottles weren’t allowed to be metal or hard sided. But, you were allowed to open carry a firearm in the soft zone.

            Explain gun law, get downvoted. But not by the Wisconsin guy who lives it. Lots of 2A states out there.

            I think the kid is a shit, but, technically, the carry part was legal.

              Yeah, blame the prosecutor for going after a charge they knew wouldn’t stick because it was performative. Or blame the law itself. It’s crazy, but what he did was legal.

      Ask OP why they posted it, or anyone who up voted why they did…

      This is capitalism, hate views count the same as any other.

      He even looks like a bully’s sycophantic follower trying to be cool.

      He learned what most people try not to learn in life, that he can kill a man, while LARPing, and this is how he’s dealing with it.
