Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial was never directly about race. Everyone involved in the shooting — the victims and the killer — were young white men.
Nor was it entirely about whether Rittenhouse killed 26-year-old Anthony Huber and 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum in self-defense, as the jury decided on Friday. It is easy to make this case all about vigilante justice, but it is much more complex.
Nothing in America is that simple anymore.
From the moment Rittenhouse was charged with killing two men and injuring another with his semi-automatic rifle during a protest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, this case has been about sending a message.
This time, it was from the far-right wing to young white people who support the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Don’t get involved with social justice reform. Don’t protest senseless police killings. Just sit back and enjoy your white privilege. If you take to the streets with the Black Lives Matter crowd, you might end up dead. And we’re going to do everything possible to make sure your killer walks free.”
In other words, young white people, if you believe that Black lives matter, your life means nothing.

The lives of those five dead cops in Dallas sure did not mean much to BLM.
Dahleen must not have watched the trial.
Well, consider the source. The lame stream have been non stop with this crap since moments after the last of the 5 counts were read. Sadly, too many didn’t bother to burden themselves with the actual evidence. But, as Mark Twain once said? “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot(s).”
The lefties are coming out in force for Kyle.
Black lives don’t matter when killed in the womb, or killed by other blacks
As I have said before, some of the most low-IQ individuals go into journalism along with left wing nuts.
Nothing like leaving rioting, mayhem and attempted murder out of the formula. These BLM loons are rationalizing those crimes as part of legitimate protest. They finally encountered a jury that believes otherwise and they cannot stand it.
No one was killed for their beliefs. Only the left advocates killing people because of their beliefs.
No, the message was don’t attack people. Especially don’t attack people with guns. If you do, you are an oxygen thief and your days of stealing oxygen might come to an abrupt end.
young white people, if you believe that Black lives matter, your life means nothing
Yes. Your life means nothing to BLM. BLM will kill you. They don’t give a shhhhhhhhhh about white people.
True, if you believe the BLM LIARS your life does mean nothing, it's up to YOU to give your life meaning, reject and imprison BLM.
Well said. And profoundly true.
So, Joe Biden is angry & upset about a not guilty verdict in a US Court in a criminal case decided by a jury of 12 from the community, selected by the prosecution & defense who heard & viewed all the evidence & took 4 days to ponder over it? This should scare the hell out of every American. It sure scares me.
When you deliberately destroy a community and endanger the lives and livelihoods of innocents, you trample on the civil rights and property rights of others. When you are in the act of doing that, you forfeit those rights for yourself.
Let’s get something straight.
The individuals that Kyle Rittenhouse shot are not “victims”. They were criminals who were engaging in criminal behavior and got exactly what they had coming to them.
The real victims in Kenosha were the citizens who were left to fend for themselves when the local “Public Servants” decided to abandon their duties and permit DemocRAT operatives to burn, loot and plunder their city to push their own political agenda.
Those social parasites must be held to account for their dereliction of duty.
Hey, Dahleen Glanton: if you can’t make a general statement that “all lives matter” and can’t make specific statements that “white lives matter” and “police lives matter”, and you want to see who is a racist, then just look in your mirror.
I completely agree with everything you wrote.
What a garbage article!
