He'll get what's coming to him

edit: jeez guys I was just trying to lighten the mood but yeah you're all spot on

I mean, has George Zimmerman gotten anything that's "coming to him?"

Seems like he's been in a total shit storm of events, but suffered consequences for nothing.

Rittenhouse will have his nose so far up the maga go fund me grift should anything ever happen, he'll never know anything more than a minor inconvenience.

Last I looked he was in financial ruin which is why he had to sell the gun on ebay. He filed multiple failed lawsuits that were dismissed. His wife divorced him. Accused of intellectual property theft.

He does seem to have an "uncanny" ability to avoid criminal liability though.

and what, pray tell, is "coming to him"?

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

A job at Fox News

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

money and celebrity status and whatever he wants to do with that basically. kill some libs and get away with it and you're a hero to conservatives

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

i wonder how you feel about the guy that literally approached him with his gun out? or the guy that tried to smash his head in with a skateboard? are they 'heroes' to liberals? how are they any better if so?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Interesting stance, because his first victim wasn't armed, and Rittenhouse testified that he knew he wasn't armed.

He did rush a deranged person running around looking for an excuse to shoot people, that's true though.

Now, after Kyle murdered that dude, would you say other people in the area might be right to fear an armed murderer, and consider him a viable threat to their and others safety?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

the kid was out looking for people to shoot, and had just shot someone. the pistol came out in an effort to get the assault rifle out of the kids hands.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

ok so you didn't pay attention to anything that happened, nor did you listen to any of the testimony given from either side. i now understand you're arguing from a place of feeling not logic or facts. have a good day.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I watched the whole goddamn trial as they streamed it in real time

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

so you have selective hearing?

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

you're the one that's twisting shit to fit into YOUR narrative, not the actual court proceedings. but ok.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

You're not saying anything. You're just telling me I'm wrong. your words are completely empty. this is not what I would call an interesting discussion. I probably wouldn't like you in real life.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

unfortunately he won't

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Have you seen any pictures of him lately? I saw some last summer and he looked like shit. Put on 40 lbs and his face was flushed red. Looked like a young Alex Jones in the making.
