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.

For centuries, the religious have debated Gnosticism. The notion that there was secret knowledge apart from the plain words of the scriptures has been seen as dangerous, decisive and elitist. This talk of dog whistles and their “real” meaning is the secular equivalent of Gnosticism in today’s version of religion and it is equally dangerous, decisive and elitist. We must bow to the Gnostic priests who interpret reality for us else we be misled.
The stone cold ignorance of Dahleen, in the face of evidence, both direct and indirect, presented at the Kenosha trial, is astounding.
The headline makes sense to me.
Not decisive but divisive. Dang autocorrect.
This is from a Chicago newspaper where 3,766 people have been shot & 678 have been killed so far this year. There’s no uproar about black lives mattering there.
Now the “anti-racist” nuts are complaining a white guy threatening people with the “n” word was a hero.
She’s black. She’s race-obligated to toe the leftist line against those who oppose their mind control.
The left doing what the left does.
Promoting false narratives.
There is no room for truth or reality on the destructive path of the mentally deranged.
If Kyle were black, and shot the same three white rioters who were attacking him. the DA would of pressed no charges and Leftist run cities across the country would be putting up statues of him.
This case is a blatant display of the ugly rabid racism at the heart of the current US Democrat party
They should direct their anger towards the incompetent prosecutors.
Cry more.
The prosecutor wasn't incompetent. He never had a case to begin with.
Rittenhouse was charged only because Twitter demanded it.
How many murders in Chicago are on trial?
Most of BLM are White Democrats
Th unedited picture pf the injury suffered by Gage Grosskreutz that the prosecution showed during the trial ought to convince anybody who’s coming up against someone who’s armed with an AR-type rifle not to attack such an armed person. OMG, it looked like an alligator bit a huge hunk of flesh out of his right arm. Shows what a long .22 cal. bullet moving at about 3,200 fps will do when it hits somebody.
“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.”
If you've been looking for a really good example of complete and utter bullshite, you can stop looking.
Don’t you know that the 5.56/223 rounds is nothing but an underpowered varmint round? I saw it on the internet! /s
Fail. It means do not threaten life and limb of other people and you’ll mostly always be fine. It’s the ones that threaten, thieve and terrorize who you need to be warning, silly.
If you believe the MSM, you’re a fool, no-matter your skin color.
And education.
