Maybe if you forget everything else that goes on in the country. It's been said a few times, if this was a black guy they'd been shot by the cops before being able to point the gun at anyone so yea a white guy being able to freely roam around with a gun in their presence is pretty clearly white privilege.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
That’s a thought experiment that has no bearing on the specifc facts or evidence in this particular case. Let’s assume for a moment that your narrative about white privilege was true. That still wouldn’t change the nature of the Wisconsin law under which the case was prosecuted. The jury’s responsibility was to adjudicate the evidence presented to them, which in the end led them to their final conclusion.
White privilege is just a construct that the media applies selectively to fit a narrative. It's been applied to Rittenhouse but not the other guy who drew a gun and got shot in the arm.
Strictly speaking far as the case is concerned, there's no racial angle here whatsoever, but the media will fan the flames for ratings. It all started when we got these 24/7 "news" channels, that are not news but "infotainment".
Except if you assume the narrative to be true then you won't have a black guy roaming around with a gun in that situation ever even getting to a trial. The fact that this guy wasn't just able to go around with a gun in that situation without anyone batting an eyelid but has been able to defend himself in court and get out on a technicality is 100% white privilege.
You can apply whichever term you prefer to it, but at the end of the day, the specific law and facts of the case are what ultimately led to the jury’s decision.
Yeah and being able to present your case to the jury while being completely unharmed by the cops is the white privilege we are talking about here.
So sad, missing the whole bird is a UFO... post convo..

It made me laugh, which was good after watching that match.
I was just in the see the low down on this case - I know nothing about it.
Clearly a psychopath looking for trouble.
Walking the streets with an automatic weapon should be banded in every country in the world. There are just to many nut jobs out there.

Why's he sitting so close to that other person in the back?
Don't disagree, but kinda funny coming from someone called M16 Red
Moss Side or American gun nut is a tricky game to be fair.Don't disagree, but kinda funny coming from someone called M16 Red
M16 is my post code, also the post code for old traffordDon't disagree, but kinda funny coming from someone called M16 Red
Did you see the story about the article you mentioned and the controversy surrounding the story? The author, (no longer with the NYTs) was told that her work wouldn’t get published until after the election?
It wasn’t a feckin’ automatic weapon!!!
I have no sympathy for him, but I find it hard to blame him for being happy after winning a trial that could have fecked up his entire future.
I know nothing about guns, thankfully.
So, white guy shooting three other white guys is white privilege. However, the third white guy who drew a pistol but got shot in the in the arm instead is not white privilege because he was team blue.
Got it.
Or trying to defend the town from being looted / burned down. Clearly there's lots of nut jobs out there, Joseph Rosenbaum for one.
He had mental health issues, had just been released from hospital after attempting suicide.
Also a piece of shit by most accounts

God the feckign drones are out tonight
He'd been abused as a child.
I suppose that makes molesting preteen kids okay
In a thread full of @Drainy ’s posts, congrats on the worst imaginable take.
I'm not going to argue, about nothing I know little about. 17 year old walking the streets with a weapon.. fanatic.
Can't even buy beer, but a weapon..yeah.. okay.
Next thing you'll tell me is that an ambulance cost more than a taxi to a hospital in the US.
You suppose some odd things.I suppose that makes molesting preteen kids okay
Was he molesting pre-teen kids the day he was killed?
For calling you a drone? It's not such a bad take tbf
When you quoted @Suedesi about the nutjob remark concerning Rosenbaum, why did you leave out his conviction for sex offenses?
I have no clue. But your response to my assertion that he was a piece of shit was "he was abused as a kid".
No I didn't see that story.
I didn't think it was a requirement for me to do so.
I was responding to the quote you posted.
