Would you physically attack him?
Possibly. In my youth, more likely. Depends how under threat I felt and, if I'm being honest, how pissed off I became. As in international conflicts, however, I believe there's such a thing as a defensive first strike. If someone is out to get you, facing him while you get to see him coming might be as good as it gets.
Meh, I don't really care about Zim tho. I can see how people would have differing takes on it. Idk if mine is right or wrong and I don't care enough to argue it. Point being it has no resemblance to the Rittenhouse case. No one who has watched the video could say the kid wasn't acting in self defence. When you're being chased and attacked by a mob there's no question. I'm astonished by the balls of the media to present us with slanted versions, edited portions, omitted portions, and occasionally outright false claims and slanderous accusations.
"No shit, Sherlock." Ya admittedly, I was behind the curve on this. I knew media was biased but I'm still coming to terms with just how dishonest they're being. Last I saw, it was character assassination on the lawyers and the fightback fund. All violence is bad always, etc. Anything but what the case is about. What actually happened, which there is video of, and which they won't show. It looks like, well, a fucking conspiracy!
Either I haven't noticed the extent of the lies before or this is a new standard in propaganda. I think the latter, since comments online indicate a lot of people feeling as shocked as I am by this misinformation campaign.
