  1. One thing I'd like to point out is that many of the pro-Kyle group are talking about Rosenbaum's alleged death threat as if it were proven. It is not. We only have the word of Rittenhouse and one of the guys marching with him that this actually happened. What we do know is that Rittenhouse was aware that Rosenbaum was unarmed. (We know this because KR admitted it under questioning) Bearing that in mind, I'd say that the supposed death threat is irrelevant in deciding whether he's guilty, both because it's merely an allegation without audio evidence and (more importantly, IMO) the fact that Rittenhouse, being armed with a firearm, should have no reason to fear a man who he knew was unarmed, despite any threats he may or may not have made. It's within the realm of possibility that Rittenhouse feared that Rosenbaum would disarm him and use the gun against him, but anything allegedly stated by Rosenbaum earlier, makes zero difference to that scenario....
  2. My guess is they're considering the lesser charges.....which I would be okay with.
  3. I too find that hard to believe...the idea that you're more likely to be shot by some random stranger in Canada than in the US is patently ridiculous... However, I don't care a whit about people mixing up automatic and semi-automatic weapons. Either way, it's a firearm capable of doing immense damage to the human body, in an extremely rapid manner and to multiple targets without having to reload. To me, it's disingenuous, kind of like saying, "It's not a bazooka, it's a grenade launcher!" .....as if that makes a difference to the one standing in the way of the projectile...
  4. Go ahead make one....then ask a Mod to migrate the TC stuff over....
  5. Next up: Canada visits Honduras on Jan 27th. Big match against the Yanks on the 30th......Winnipeg, anyone?
  6. Top of the standings with 6 matches left. It's looking pretty good....
  7. Ffffffffffffffffffffffff.........................
  8. Not sure that was even a shot on target, but Borjan's best save of the night....
  9. The fans all saw that.... ....of course who knows elbows better than a city where Mark Messier played most of his career?
  10. Should have been a caution....brutal miss by both officials....
  11. Half-assed clearance there. Gotta put more on it than that.
  12. I think the collision was okay, but it also looked like the first guy tripped Phonsie....
  13. BTW: Gotta love the nickname for the stadium tonight.... Iceteca.....
  14. Favorite part of the celly is Adekugbe diving into the snowbank....
  15. I really like Buchanan, but he made a mess of that chance....
  16. Wow. Good thing they're better footballers than they are singers.... Pretty pitchy, dawg.....
  17. Apropos of nothing (okay maybe a bit of something) the US and Jamaica drew 1-1 today in Kingston. (not the one in Ontario ) Considering their current places in the standings, I'd call that a positive result for Canada. Just need another one tonight....
