    1. Maybe don’t attack people you disagree with to give them an opportunity to live out their vigilante fantasies?

    2. Because grifters gonna grift and America is obsessed with celebrity and political turmoil? He was a very useful political pawn so they used him.

      You’re not being very clear here.

      1. Are you blaming the Left for Rittenhouse shooting people? So much for personal responsibility.

      2. Why was he a useful pawn? Was it because he killed people in order to protect property and people liked that?

          This is why I asked for clarification. The response to a Strawman is not to just say “Strawman” and act like you’ve achieved something (see: fallacy fallacy), the point of recognizing a Strawman is so that you can respond to it properly by restating your point/argument and clarifying where they went wrong.

            That’s only a good policy if you think they actually mistook your meaning, but we both know I don’t believe The Left took control of the guy’s hand to start swinging that skateboard at Rittenhouse.

            If you attack someone and get shot over it, I’m not crying for you.
