Ah. Defending your hometown from looters, rioters and arsonists is a “poor decision.” Got it.
Must be why the police did nothing about it.
Well, what I think about the ACLU can not be written here, so, be careful what you wish for folks.
“Kyle Rittenhouse was a juvenile who traveled across state lines on a vigilante mission, was allowed by police to roam the streets of Kenosha with an assault rifle and ended up shooting three people and killing two,” said Brandon Buskey, director of the ACLU’s Criminal Law Reform Project.
Another lawsuit opportunity arises.
Self-defense is not a matter of rights, but a law passed by a state legislature. The legislature can presumably make any law, just or unjust, provided the majority votes to pass it. They could have required the defense to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant acted in self-defense, or they could have disallowed self-defense entirely. But instead, they enacted the law requiring the prosecution to disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. All three possible laws are almost certainly constitutional, and adjacent states could have completely different laws.
Have you forgotten the Fifth Amendment?
the ACLU was ALWAYS communist slime.
The alleged ACLU should also be defending the 2nd amendment [It’s a Civil Liberty too...]
By the way, even if a jurisdiction outlaws self defense, the juries may not go along with them.
Or the FBI, who was flying a drone overhead, filming everything.
Except... they don't.
And never have.
Stop listening to what groups tell you that they are and look at their actions.
Pretty soon their actions will speak so loudly you will not be able to hear a word they say.
Strange The aclu does not see any civil right violation in getting kicked in the head or clobbered across the skull with a skateboard or pointing a gun in someone’s face. Remarkable that.
Atheist Communist Lawyer’s Union
I have a feeling they were on the ground too ... and did nothing about looting, rioting, burning and people trying to kill Kyle.
The left wants to make it safe for criminals by disarming law abiding Americans.
.
If you’re an American you do not want mere civil liberties. Civil liberties are permissions granted by government.
Instead, if you’re an American, you want your unalienable constitutional rights; these are natural, God-given rights that you are born with, and which are, in fact, restraints upon government.
The ACLU is and always has been a communist front.
“Kyle Rittenhouse was a juvenile who traveled across state lines on a vigilante mission”
No. Kyle Rittenhouse was a hero who performed a public service.
American Communist Lawyers Union or All Criminals Like Us is used to defending the indefensible, and RINO’s are the willing lapdogs of the alt-far-left-communist-democRATs. I saw an article about a snake trying to shed his ‘right hand man of Paul RINO Ryan’ skin, “Kevin McCarthy Just Used His Eight-Hour Speech to Campaign for House Speaker”, and you can give that a look at RedState. One good speech doesn’t change your track record and we need to remember that going forward as that dude is all talk. #TrumpForHouseSpeaker (you don’t need to be a member of Congress to hold that position). ACLU is ‘The Fed’ of attorneys. Another example of the Alinskyite tactic of naming things the opposite of what they are.
