In reply to the discussion: Rob Reiner ftw! [View all]Bernardo de La Paz
(49,001 posts)6. You misquote. He did cross state lines, as it says. That was established in the trial.
He did not carry the rifle across state lines. But the graphic does not allege that.
You misquote by selectively cutting off in the middle of the clause. By doing so you make a fake fact and then attack Reiner for the fake fact. That is the straw man fallacy. Please do not indulge in it.
The meaning is clear: Rittenhouse crossed the state line (with rage and a cover story about offering "medical assistance" despite no training and a meager medical kit). Only then, after the crossing was done, did he arm himself.
Whether he illegally armed himself, is debatable. Certainly his friend (pleaded?) guilty of illegal "straw sale". But I heard that he was allowed to carry it (possess it) regardless. Hunh?

So what's the "aim" of misrepresenting the distance between Antioch, IL and Waukesha, WI?

Actually, it means your "I lied to prove you're all liars" post was laughable.
