(49,002 posts)If you are going to state something that is well-known, fine.
But if you are going to make a big extreme claim, you better buttress it with links and facts. You didn't speculate, you made big claims about the cases.
I think your claim that the father sent the son is bogus.
I think you will never be able to support that with evidence.
But you better do so now or self-delete.
I think your claim that Rittenhouse's mother sent him on a "terrorist mission" is bogus.
I think you will never be able to support that with evidence.
Not "oh she took him to a bar with Proud Boys", not something that makes some vague connection.
Your claims are very bold and strong.
Your evidence better be very bold and strong.

You werent under the impression that the police can just arrest children and interrogate them without the parental knowledge, consent and, at times, presence, were you?
