I dont doubt Kyle goes free. Doesnt take away from the fact he was in the wrong and a retard for going out of his way to put himself in that situation.

When you call someone stupid, you should avoid making grammatical mistakes.
You forgot the ' multiple times

it's an objective fact. The police didn't stop anyone involved in that situation from walking around with firearms after curfew.

they allowed it.
Because we live in reality.

In reality, cops don't have infinite resources, they aren't all-powerful, they are assigned jobs according to priority, and they work in a co-ordinated fashion.

There were hundreds (or thousands) of people out on the streets, many of them committing violent crimes.

Everywhere a cop looked that night, he could see people doing shit they weren't allowed to do. Including a lot of serious property damage, arson, and violent assault.

See this police truck driving past Kyle?



Lights and sirens means a dispatcher has assigned them a job. They are on their way somewhere specific, to respond to a specific and prioritised call.

You think they're going to see him, stop the truck, load him into the truck, and abandon the job they're on their way to so they can take him away to be processed?

Or maybe carry him around in the back of the truck until they can deal with him?

That's not how this works in a state of emergency, it's just as simple as that.

Isn't a strawman purchase of a firearm illegal?
yes, but the weapon was purchased for his use, not for his possession.

that's the grey line that usually determines prosecution of straw purchases.
but they charged the buyer with 2 felonies...so...they're definitely prosecuting everyone associated with enabling KR

If you allow a minor to a shoot a gun and you aren't the parent (or parent isn't there for consent/supervision) you should go to jail.

IMO

so why is only Kyle charged?

how many violent crimes were perpetrated by Kyle? how many by his attackers?

the article also misses the point that all digital software adds 'filler' pixels to scale the image, and makes decisions on how to represent pixels and positions. it's really minor, but it could easily change the placement of a pixel relative to the ones around it. The program is trying to retain perfect pixel recreation, but that's only possible if it can change the number of pixels on its screen.

Is this you saying you were......Mistaken?

no, this is literally what I've been saying since the beginning.

it's what the defense was saying, and that the onus was on the prosecution to demonstrate otherwise, since the prosecution introduced the evidence that software could use AI to redraw/refocus video.

That would be up to your parents I would think.
exactly. just let parents parent. if your kid is responsible enough to go to Kenosha at 17 with an AR and sit on a truck hood without starting shit, and just rendering first aid to anyone who needs it, then you should give your kid an AR and send him on his way.

I'm talking about an adult allowing someone else's child to handle/use a firearm. It should be against the law.

You just wait until one of your kids comes home from a friend's house and tells you so-and-so's dad showed us his gun. See if you don't feel instant alarm.

A lot of things can do a lot of things but an iphone in't going to 'redraw' a picture unless you specifically use a bit of software to do such manipulation of an image.

It's a pathetic line of defence from the defence.

If the judge falls for it then he will be put in judge jail.

Fact

Don't pin your hopes on this line of bullshit.

I don't recall first aid needing an AR.

And....I also don't believe for one minute that you would allow your child to do that.
