Ok. The kid with the AR was getting his ass kicked by multiple assailants. Complex case...no easy answers...

| _esstac Kyle Rittenhouse obviously wanted to murder people, and couldn't have possibly feared for his life.... How large of a mob does it take to make one actually fearful? How many people need to curb stomp you, or hit you with a skateboard? How many felons need to threaten you with deadly force? Like the glock the media keep refusing to show. Lets ask Adam Haner, he probably has an opinion. |
Wow.
This is a complex case. No easy answers to be found. It will take a REASONABLE, SENSIBLE, EYES WIDE OPEN...judge to preside over this madness.
I like to think I'm reasonable. I like to hear all sides. What I've been seeing lately has me...conflicted.
Should the guy have been there in the first place? Probably not. Was it wide to show up at a place where you knew a mob was running wild? Definitely not.
But he did. He was there. He had as much right to be there as anyone else.
What happened next?
Tragedy mixed with stupidity mixed with more tragedy.
Apparently he was being CHASED. Assaulted. And finally attacked with a vengeance by multiple assailants.
Additionally it appears that some were armed.
It was a massive shit show from hell.
I know of at least one person dead. A couple of other injured (supposedly one lost a bicep...instant cripple for the rest of his life) and this dude is facing a murder charge.
Shit show indeed. Glad I won't have to serve on the jury for this one. Not matter what the ruling you'll find people are gonna be pissed.
The sad thing?
The lives of EVERYONE involved are forever changed because of one night that led to a series of bad decisions for everyone participating in this madness.
China's Amphibious armored reconnaissance vehicle
Note. While Missile Marine Corps leadership vacillates on whether or not a next gen ARV needs to be built, the Chinese are full speed ahead. Interesting that this AARV will be capable no matter what clime or place, while the Missile Marines are focused like a laser on just the first island chain.

Once again the Marine Corps demands the Navy build a ship it MUST have...
Marines Already In Industry Studies for Light Amphibious Warship, In Bid to Field Them ASAP - USNI Newshttps://t.co/dxrIMP3e1C pic.twitter.com/ju66uAEuCo— U.S. Naval Institute (@NavalInstitute) August 28, 2020
This issue has come to the fore in the modern era but its been bold enough to be quite annoying.
How many times has the Marine Corps gone to the Navy and said WE MUST HAVE this ship?
Think about it.
The Mobile Landing Platform was a MUST HAVE for sea basing. Then when it went into service it turned out that "we gotta figure out how we're gonna use it"!
We had the America Class. The first couple were built without well decks because the Marine Corps said we're going AIR CENTRIC and we don't need WELL DECKS!
Next thing you know the Marine Corps reverses course and the next few WILL HAVE a well deck.
Then we had the DDG-1000. The Marine Corps said we need naval guns back in a big way cause we're in the business of forcible landings and we need FIRE SUPPORT. Suddenly we don't need the fire support cause we're no longer in the business of forcible landings!
Now we have this.
Give it a couple of years and this class will be like the LCS. Orphaned while leadership pursues another failed concept when what we really need is a reaffirmation of our core missions and values...PLUS THE RECOGNITION that a peer fight won't be easy or bloodless!

Well the power is back on, no damage to the house just a few knocked over trees and tons of limbs to get up.
The hurricane was indeed interesting but fortunately for us (sorry for others) we were spared the worst of the thing. Additionally because I live in a rural area we're back up much quicker than some of the urban communities within driving distance (extended power outages, no running water but thankful no EXTRA criminal activity).
Many are doing terribly and prayers up for those folks.
Members of the Task Force are headed down to help out in S. Louisiana and the National Guard is doing their thing so give them a shout upstairs too.
All in all? I'm good and thankful. Back to regular blogging over the course of the next few days.
