Which is ass backwards
No, I don’t think it is.
But I don’t have the whole gun fetish mindset, so I understand why we might differ on this.
Well…you’re wrong Mr. Hoplophobe

Ah, yes. I was wondering when that term would come up.
I’m not scared of guns. I own a few, and enjoy them.
I just don’t have the fetish.
I’m not a fetishist.
In your case, I can accept that your life experiences, rather than gun fetishism, may explain the mindset I refer to.
So I apologize. But it’s still garbage.
If you ignore that Grosskreutz was tailing Rittenhouse instead of the other way around, that might be a good point.

Again, you’re using the word wrong. I understand it’s reflexive at this point, but I thought I should mention it anyway.
Guns have little to nothing to do with why I don’t believe self-defense should be assumed in criminal trials.
No, it’s the correct word.
And nothing to do with why it should.
Well, when two people are chasing you and one starts beating you with his skateboard and the other pulls out a gun, it’s not much of a burden to prove it.

If it helps you, sure.
Perhaps not for you.
Well, we shall see, won’t we?
That’s what the trial is for.
So now opinions aren’t acceptable? Then why are you still commenting?
Context is important. This is the post I responded to:
Cop shot unarmed woman but claimed self defense. Was his life at immediate risk?
Apparently not his burden to prove.

Is it really news to you that police are held to a different standard, legally?
That is absolutely false. By law, the same rules apply to law enforcers as to everyone else. That prosecutors and courts often give them preference goes contrary to the letter of the law.

Actually, scratch the “legally”. Show me where they have greater legal rights to shoot anyone.
