Cool. I had no intention of doing that. I just wanted to see if you'd do what I thought you'd do. You did.
Check out the master manipulator, bringing up a topic and then getting a reply on that topic.
lol
I didn't manipulate you into replying the way I knew you would. You just did what his defenders always do.
Debunk the bullshit with facts? Yeah, that is what people with integrity try to do.
Though, a correction: I'm a defender of the truth, not of Rittenhouse. I have no attachment to the kid, but I hate deception, and I just happened to be curious enough to make myself very familiar with the facts of this case when it became a big controversy, and once I realized how many basic things were complete fabrications, it just made me more curious to get at the actual facts, instead of believing dipshits' narratives in the media, especially those who had already taken a side based on their pre-existing political biases.
The fact that most of the bullshit still floating around about this case is still REALLY easily-debunked surface-level garbage that only a gullible, or a 'true believer' in one of those narratives (though I repeat myself) just makes it easier. Half of this shit is so blatantly wrong even the prosecution in the trial didn't even TRY to argue it, lol.
I like correcting falsehoods, and making liars mad is fun, so here I am.
Nope. That's not what I was talking about and, unless you haven't been reading my replies, you know that's not what I was talking about, so I'm not sure who you're trying to be dishonest with.
