    She’s approximately 260 times more successful than me, AND kicked this guy’s ass. Fucking hell, I’m so envious right now.

      To me, Kyle Rittenhouse trial has to be the most American thing ever, grabbing your assault rifle and heading into a heated situation for no reason whatsoever than that predictably resulting in a death and getting off scott free, that’s something that can only happen in the USA

        Everything that led up to the killings was fucking heinous, but in the end, a jury of his peers saw the video evidence and deemed it self defense. I’ve watched the videos and I agree.

        “He shouldn’t have been there.”, isn’t a legal doctrine. Still, I’m surprised the prosecutor couldn’t have found some angle there. Isn’t there some, “looking for a fight” idea?

        If I go down to my MAGA neighbor’s house, kick on his door, talk shit (non-physically threatening shit) and he attacks me, I wouldn’t feel too safe shooting him. IANAL, but I know the prosecutors were, so I have to bow to their professional judgement.

        And whatever happened to his mom or uncle or whoever buying him a gun? I know it was across state lines, but still, the purchase in itself was legal, and you can certainly gift a gun. There was a law clearly broken there, I think Rittenhouse being underage in that state for that weapon? Why wasn’t the purchaser hung from the fucking rafters?!

        What is perhaps more heinous is that the little fucker is able to milk his notoriety. He should be shunned by both the anti-gun and pro-gun crowd, no one should give two shits to hear him speak. (He is shunned among liberal gun nuts like me.)

    Don’t fuck with old hippies. Half of them have been on the front line of protest action since the 60s, and the other half are Vietnam vets. They will kick your ass.

        If she’s a Berkeley professor, and can pull a head slam like that at 70+ years old, I’d say odds are 80% hippie vs maybe 20% mid 70s punk. Tell me she wouldn’t look right at home at a Grateful Dead concert, or rockin out to the Clash for that matter.

        Plus, everyone who’s been to college knows that hippies make the best professors.

        Not only that, I’d bet top dollar that the nazi twat has dismantled funding for the research she been fighting for her entire career.

        Guy’s lucky it didn’t take a proctologist with an electrician license to retrieve the stun gun.

    Love the way that middle-aged woman took down that basement-dwelling neckbeard incel piece of trash.

    She’s never going to be able to wash the stink off though.

        This Rick Fuze is possibly the most pathetic creature I have ever heard of.

        I can’t remember ever hearing of or witnessing anything quite this pointlessly mean spirited, weak, stupid, and regrettable.

        I mean, when you attack a senior citizen, the best outcome as far as I’m concerned is obviously that the attacker loses. But for it to have actually happened, and in circumstances like this? Absolutely incredible.

    Doctor of medicine, so there’s a greater than zero chance she knows exactly where to hit him. Good on her, though - people need to take a stand.

    She’s medically trained, so she knows where to hit him. In addition, there’s a lack of barrier to entering the physical space of strangers and physically touching them just in general. That barrier almost doesn’t exist for medical. The rest of the world, middle of the bell curve, hesitates.

    And if she’s done direct patient care at any point in her career, there’s a good chance she has no patience left for shenanigans.

    Most conservatives I know who were in my state are no longer in my state. The remaining dumbass redhats complain non-stop about California.

    People like this asshole need to get the fuck out. Fuck every last Trump supporter. Leave my state, Nazi comformists.

    Oh I thought 16,000 citations as if a citation was a fine you got for doing something illegal like demonstrating without a permit, and was like, damn, she gets around!

      “Citation” is one of those words that’s always important but has very different meanings.

      I work in a government position where I both make code citations in public notices and plan review, and also issue citations summoning people to court for violation of city ordinances.And in my academic past I was published for research on stormwater discharge, so I also have my share of citations.
