The fascination with the state line is laughable.....for most who live within a few miles of a state line crossing it is a function of their daily lives.

Lots of foofaraw in the media about how the reaction to a not guilty verdict was going to cause a huge incident of violent protest etc.....

Well, once again the media was ginning up a pile of bullshit. There was not a huge crowd outside and the response of those that were was overwhelmingly celebratory outside when the verdict came in......

I would say the vast majority of the media coverage of this one has ground to a screeching halt at this point.....

And while we're talking about driving across state lines to stop at a friend's house to pickup an AR15 to provide EMT services at a local riot, what in your EMT armatorium would you bring, Greg? 

If I were going to offer assistance to my local community (you know the area you have family and friends in and where you work) during a violent RIOT you can bet I would be armed, anyone who did so without arming themselves would be an idiot. Add in the fact that the local law enforcement were under orders to stand back and watch without interfering as with most of these kinds of events in liberal cities and not going armed is doubly foolish......The state line is irrelevant under the conditions in this case as pointed out previously.....

You do understand that the AR15 is available in different calibers right? While the .223 is the most popular for home defense with its lighter recoil etc, my personal choices are the .308 and the 6.5 Creedmoor both of which I have, the .308 for hunting primarily and the 6.5 for long range target shooting......I have owned a couple of them in .223 but prefer the better knockdown power of the larger calibers. I am sure though, you were trying to make some silly point with your ignorance so what was it?

email replies not being received

Not sure exactly what you mean. Are you talking about the Private Message System internal to the site or are you talking about actual EMAILs? 

When you reply to an ad an actual external email is sent to the seller via their stored email address and they reply to you via actual external email.

If you are talking about the internal message system, I have been here close to 15 years and never had a problem with it. However many people dont notice the small flag that is set when they have pending messages. I have missed it a few times myself and only noticed it several days after the fact so that might be your problem, particularly if you are trying to contact someone who isnt used to watching for it.

You have an AD posted yesterday that is still in "not confirmed" status.....Open the ad and hit the green CONFIRM button you will see in the ad.....Until you actually confirm the ad the only person who can actually open the ad is you......but it shows up in the list of your classified ads as "not confirmed. I can see it by viewing your ad history but I cant open it, only you can. Looks like you posted one other ad back in 2018 which I can open but until you complete that last step only you can open/view the new ad.

Sure.....meanwhile people chase people in the streets beating them with skateboards threatening to kill them while the guard and the police watch....lol

At the time of the shootings, Mr. Rittenhouse was employed part-time as a lifeguard at a recreational complex in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., which borders Kenosha.

What part of all of this was located within an approx 20 mile radius escapes you, where he lived, where he worked, where his friends lived, his Dad, his Mom? The words "local community" come to mind for pretty much everyone except those trying to promote an agenda......

Several salient points:

1. The criminal records of the ones that died or were wounded have no bearing on the facts of the case. (most cited by the right)

2. State lines are irrelevant as well given the area involved ie "local community" ie 20 mile radius. (most cited by the left)

3. The video and the testimony both support the VERDICT. Its history now smile
