Again, seems like a smart business move to me.
except for customers like me
who look for strength of character
I dont agree or disagree. I just dont like people giving in to "pressure".
Dont trust such people,
I mean, they didn't really give in to anything, they made a clarification.
Because people were forming a misconception.
what did they say?
did they say: "we are in no shape or form affiliated with Kyle Rittenhouse, except for the fact that he seems to like our coffee"?
btw...They are missing a massive Business opportunity here.
"Kylewear" would probably make him rich.
They said we're not affiliated with him.
Basically that's all.
"We don't sponsor him nor are affiliated with him."
that is fair
They said nothing about what he did.
They just distanced themselves from the idea that he was endorsed by them.
The company was being threatened to loose all there financing and such.
@Zerb, you just advanced to level 1!
Well they should distance themselves if they stand for law abiding safe gun ownership
Agreed.
What Kyle did was incredibly moronic, dangerous and illegal.... he should absolutely be punished. People are dead and he played at least some role in that happening...
That is not to say he needs to be convicted for murder or manslaughter or anything like that....
What Kyle did wasn't murder, but it was really, really dumb.
From all I have seen that was self defense
I would not stop at dumb... it was also reckless
I cover reckless with dumb.
Ah, gotcha
When it's not criminally reckless.
Well... after watching the first witness in the PH I was satisfied that he will not be convicted of anything except some sort of possession of a firearm statute. Which will likely be a misdemeanor and can be expunged from his record after a couple years
But we don't need to gloss over the fact that his stupidity played a role in people dying (of course the victims were also behaving in a very stupid manner as well)
It may be expunged immediately since the charge was before he was 18.
what is kinda annoying is that if not for all this press... I doubt he would get tried.
So it could just be hidden from the record as the trial finishes.
Possibly... some states make you wait until 21
But we don't need to be trying to prop him up as some 2nd Amendment hero like I have heard some right wing people do... This was a sad mess all the way around
For sure.
I don't call someone a hero that I don't want to act as a role model for my kids.
I don't want my kids doing that.
1) Could have gone far more badly. 2) I don't encourage people to confront violent mobs of people with a gun, knowing what a likely outcome will be.
