My younger son shot this one before I even got into my tree stand this morning.

The MSM and the leftist pimps that drive them on are never gonna shut up or stop their jhad against this republic until their voice is so small it can’t be heard. ANTIFA and BLM are just their thug troops. Some of them got their shadows removed from the earth here. Kyle Rittenhouse made Kenosha, Wisconsin, the USA, and the world a better place by defending himself that sad evenin. That said; a victory for civilization and the people of this republic was won when this verdict was rendered. There are plenty of billionaires and millionaires driving this jhad; not to mention those 60s hippie sons and daughters of Satan in tenured positions in academia. Until we go after them, this ain’t goin away… We are dividing more n more, and the chasm is just gettin wider… Vote n buy more ammo… leroy…

Unfortunately, this is not a new phenomenon, and it's certainly not confined to the left. You can find plenty of historical examples of news media frenzy about black people charged with crimes against whites. (In fact, this was one of the early tools used to promote gun control laws in the US.) Right here in Tennessee we have the example of Edward Carmack, the editor of the Nashville Tennessean in the early 1900s, who spoke and wrote approvingly of lynching blacks. Think the Tennessean would publish anything like that today? Of course not. Some in the news media have always tried to influence the outcome of trials and public reaction to verdicts. Don't be fooled into believing that we're seeing something unusual.

I spent the last 3 weeks watching/listening to a solid 3/4 of the proceedings via the Rekieta stream. It was an excellent and extremely illuminating insight into this case in specific and the legal system as a whole. For me the biggest takeaway is that if the prosecution was willing to go that far and engage in such blatant misconduct when the cameras were on, what are they getting away with when the cameras are off? It was really quite sickening.

Just another thing that’s factually incorrect. They were assailants. Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on the grounds of self defense. That means he was defending himself from assailants and he was the victim of their violent assaults.

The majority of the news media are certainly on the side of the political left, but it's a misunderstanding to believe they all are. News media on the side of the right do exist, they're just outnumbered: Newspapers -- there's the Washington Times and the New York Post; television -- there's Fox News and OAN. When you get to online sites it's more balanced -- there's a ton of right-leaning online media sites, and they range from thoughtful and well-reasoned to screaming hysterical tin-foil-hat conspiracists. As with all information provided by the news media, the consumer's best approach is to sample widely with extreme skepticism, use your critical thinking skills, and make your own decisions.

Anything is possible, but I don't see him becoming another Zimmerman. Their cases and situations are vastly different. Zimmerman's was a lot murkier and there wasn't quite the obvious slant and slander by MSM (although he was the first "white Hispanic" I have ever heard of). Hopefully, Rittenhouse has some good guidance in the near future. I don't see a problem with him going on a couple radio shows and sitting down with Hannity on TV for a few minutes. I do hope he sues the dogsh*t out of MSM for two reasons--I hope he becomes independently wealthy, but more importantly, the leftist MSM's ability and eagerness to push misinformation and blatant lies to sway the national mood or opinion needs a serious bitchslapping. Rittenhouse is in a position to do just that.

Yes, but it was while a candidate and in a public medium, so slander applies.

Easier to predict the future when its in the past

Then that should include Joe Biden. He called him a white supremacist a few days after the arrest.

No, you sue everyone who defamed you by calling you a murderer, white supremacist, etc without being found guilty by a jury of your peers.

Sent this to my son early this morning. He was supposed to join me today but his schedule wouldn’t allow. I tend to get sarcastic when I haven’t gotten enough sleep and things aren’t going well. Opening morning report: Off work 11:00pm previous night. In bed by midnight. Up at 4:00am. Feeling of approximately negative-6 hours of sleep. Left house approximately 3.6 months later. Drove to hunting area. Parked and walked remaining distance to stand. Temperature 30 degrees. Wind blowing out of the N, S,E,W,NW,NE,SW,SE. Approximate wind speed 751.395 MPH. Next objective: Drink coffee. Saw a couple bucks about two weeks ago while I was up here working, but I’ve only seen 4 does today. Trying to hang out til afternoon but this wind is aggravating. Anyone had any luck so far?

My good buddy and fellow member bigun has been having some mobility problems that were getting progressively worse lately. He and I usually touch base via text or phone on a daily basis but he dropped off the radar a couple of weeks ago. I got a message from his daughter about four days later telling me he was in the hospital and was improving so decided to wait until I knew more before posting anything. He is now out of the hospital and in a rehab facility so he's still making progress. I'm sure he would appreciate any prayers, well wishes or any other encouragement sent his way. The facility just lifted their 'no visitor' policy this week so I was able to pay him a short visit yesterday.

Saw several does and a couple of baby spikes, along with a flock of turkeys. I spent the entire day in the stand and didn’t see one shooter buck. Wife wondered why I didn’t take some does. I told her if you’re like me and NOT an expert hunter the best chance for a buck is early season. I’d like to get a buck or two before I start taking does. Going to try again tomorrow morning Lord willing.

He didn’t. That’s why I don’t get facts from or spread memes. A good majority of them are BS.

I had 5 deer and zero coyotes all day.

Show 'em this....................

I'll be honest, if someone dropped napalm on several hundred antifa, I'd be concerned about the business nearby catching on fire.

I didn’t get out since I got one in muzzleloader season. Buddy killed a nice 10 pt he has been after for awhile.

This was my first stab at a flap holster as well as my first try at lacing. You'll notice an extra hole as I severely misjudged where the snap should be. Frustrating, but trial and error is about the only way a hard headed guy like me can learn.

In typical liberal fashion, the left and MSM are now playing the race card. Now its all about the inequality of justice between blacks and whites in this country. They're now saying that Rittenhouse got off because he's white. If he had been black, he would have been convicted. ect and so on. One way or another the liberal left is bound and determined to cause as much trouble and unrest as possible. I think they actually want riots. JMHO: but I believe that if Rittenhouse had been black, he never would have been charged.

This subject was raised a few months back and I was educated and corrected by more knowledgeable members here on the law regarding it. You only need the correct form if you were going to transfer it In a title II status. Removing the stock and replacing it in a brace returns into a title I status and means that you can travel across state lines with it freely. An SBR is only treated as an SBR when it is configured as an SBR. Changing the configuration changes the way it is treated under the law.

You already cited the example of William Randolph Hearst, who specialized in telling outright lies about people and policies and bears much personal responsibility for the Spanish-American War, so it's clear that there is nothing new about lying national news media. The scope of the lying is larger because the scope of news media is larger, but claiming that the lying itself is new or unique is simply incorrect.

Anyone who shoots a rioter for ANYTHING is going to get charged these days. Doesn't matter the circumstances, the shooter IS going to get charged. Hell, the idiot lawyers in St. Louis didn't even fire their guns (the woman's wouldn't even work & the DA had the cops fix it, an illegal act itself) & they got charged & plea bargained to lower charges AND lost their guns. These thugs & punks are fully Dimocrat-supported AND shielded. Never forget that as we go about our holiday travels to enemy territory, gents. Video everything if you're involved in something. Videos are the only thing that saved Rittenhouse as ALL the prosecution witnesses lied under oath. ALL of them. Something to keep in mind.

One of which is a convicted male-child rapist. All of whom attacked Rittenhouse repeatedly.

You may have read what you claim but you "knew" nothing of the sort. I also note it's easy to claim you "knew" something after the fact of it happening.

The single most disturbing thing about the reaction of the liberal elite is that they seem to want to abandon our system of trial by jury. Mayor De Blasio of New York City called the verdict a miscarriage of justice. It seems that many on the left want trial by public opinion rather than a jury trial. Since the results of this trial went against their wishes, the trial was unjust. We're seeing more and more of this, with people being pilloried in the press and by elected officials who are supposed to uphold the constitution. I find it frightening.

I’m really hoping that this red pills a lot of folks who didn’t pay a whole lot of attention while prosecutors pulled this kind of #### on folks from the other end of town because “they were probably guilty of something”. They can and will go after y’all just the same if’n they decide it’s what they want to do.

I use a sled, and so far no issues, but I don't strap it down, it just rests on the sled, and after I'm zeroed, I confirm on a bag.

@DanielThe major news outlets have definitely been portraying a one sided and inaccurate narrative as to the facts of the case. That said, I do think that the fact that you are familiar with firearms and self defense concepts and laws allowed you to see the obvious in that he was legally justified in his actions. So while you may be able to see the facts, someone else of a particular worldview and without that same foundational grounding may only see the emotional narrative. Then maybe the folks here will only the misinformation and miss the fact based reports because of that. The exact same bull#### can dazzle different folks in different ways.

Agree, he wasn't, but should have kept his mouth shut. Official or not.

The Vols looked pretty good tonight.

AARP cops!

Ouch! It sure doesn’t. Maybe an early hunt and try to get out before getting soaked! Lol Thanks for the heads up!

Surely somebody here bagged one this morning.

My kid shot an 8 pointer before I could even get in my stand this morning. See the picture thread at the top of this page.

Im glad for the kid and for the rule of law... I figured they thugs n MSM would intimidate the jury enough to cause a hung jury. Im glad i wuz wrong. I'm thankful that these folks on the jury had a backbone and did the right thing... I would like ta see the prosecuting attorney gone after for malicious prosecution, and the MSM for defamation n slander, but i aint holdin my breath... Buy more ammo... leroy....

Nice.

i definitely should have.....R1100 has its twin (we bought at same time on the clapped hipower deal AIM was running) I'll see if he can chime in with a picture of his.

Sorry to hear that, sub. Been down that road, no fun. Thanks for checking on him.

great job Greg!

That looks really nice.

Please point me in the direction of one of his lies. As it stands now he is the best thing on the Fox platform and isn't afraid to say what is on his mind. He nailed it last night.

I saw a funny tweet this morning that said. "The only way Kyle will be found guilty is if they mail the verdicts in at 3 A.M."

Well, for starters I'd buy a Canon to take really good pictures. I'd buy a cannon if I wanted an artillery piece.

*Looks around leans in and whispers* Because someone way over there needs to be set on fire! In all seriousness, if I could get my hands on a real deal RPG ammo or 40mm HEDP rounds, you bet your ass I’d have them. Why? Why not!

I've never understood the need for a flashlight on a carry gun. To a limited degree, I get their purpose for a house gun (which, I admit, may sometimes also serve as one's carry gun), but can you explain the difference between or give examples of these two scenarios while carrying in public? A couple friends think I am a Neanderthal because I refuse to put one on my carry gun, but they haven't yet convinced me I need to do it.
