@xAlden @elonmusk Math is hard. $44 billion divided by 8 billion people is $5.50 per person.

@FerociousBeast @scrowder In a strictly literal sense you are correct which is why I said 'effectively cornered' as in

forced into an inescapable position

forced to turn and face attackers

You don't have to be in a literal corner to be cornered.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@FerociousBeast @scrowder IIRC it was between two cars at the edge of the lot but I could be mistaken. Regardless you can be effectively 'cornered' in the middle of a field if the person chasing is faster than you.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@FerociousBeast @scrowder It was not in the middle of a parking lot.
Once you have control of the gun it's not that hard to use it on your opponent sling or no.
Not sure what the last line is about other than it was an effective defense for Rittenhouse.

@Jerkstore_2000 @MattWalshBlog @NYMag Your issues with religion are your own problem. Virtually no one in the psychiatric field classifies religion as a mental illness. Sorry, you can't brush off his view as religious nuttery.Many non-religious people agree with Matt on this issue.Anti-trans activism is not religious

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@Jerkstore_2000 @MattWalshBlog @NYMag If you believe that you must believe the vast majority of people are mentally ill. Can you name any psychiatrist who classifies religion as a mental illness?

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@Jerkstore_2000 I'm willing to believe he THINKS he's a woman but that belief does not change reality. Why is trans height, weight, race, etc. considered a mental illness but trans sex is considered reality.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@FerociousBeast @scrowder You mean someone bigger, stronger, who had threatened your life, chased you down, cornered you, and was in the process of trying to take your gun presumably to use it against you. I'd feel justified in shooting if it were me. The jury agreed it was justified.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@Montovon @___Weekly___ @CellaMarie2 @scrowder Even if Huber believed he was in the right the fact was he wasn't. Rittenhouse was not an active threat. If he survived it's likely he would not have been charged but that does not change Kyle's self defense standing.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@CellaMarie2 @scrowder The first guy had threatened to kill him earlier that night. He chased him down and attempted to take his gun. The second tried to hit him in the head with a skateboard when he was not threatening anyone.
Look up the definition of Acquitted. It literally means "found not guilty"

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@FerociousBeast @scrowder He shot a man who threatened to kill him, chased him down, and attempted to take his gun. He then shot a man who attacked him while he was running towards the police and a third man who pointed a gun at him. He did not shoot anyone who was not an active threat.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@SFeasterville @ginyedaur603 @scrowder Nobody invited his attackers to go there and "participate".

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@MyOpinion815 @scrowder Correct, but that doesn't answer my question.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@carin_kveton1 @scrowder Well is Rosneblum had just stayed home, or even easier just not attacked.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@MyOpinion815 @scrowder What makes you say that? The facts were the same regardless of where the trial was held.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@IndyVotingBlue @scrowder After watching how the press twisted, misrepresented, and misreported the facts in the Rittenhouse case it makes it easier to believe OJ is innocent and the jury got it right. Trial by press is a lousy system.

[Fred Smith @FredSmith196011]

@bridgetekelly @scrowder People attacked him and he defended himself. End of story.
