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 Left is mad….in every sense of the word.
Bkmk
Millions truly live in a post-truth world.
Exactly. Evil has overtaken our land. For those that arent already, must get right with God, and pray.
The Rittenhouse case, along with the Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin cases, are some of the clearest self-defense cases to exist. Anyone who denounces the outcome of those three cases is actually challenging the legal, moral, and constitutional right of self-defense. When the Founding Fathers recognized the right to keep and bear arms they were simply following a precept established in the Old Testament. Attacking those three outcomes is immoral and evil. Those justifiable homicides were totally moral and absolutely right.
It's all a big lie.
Or known anything about those killed. They were not there because they cared one wit about Blake. They were there to participate in mayhem.
No, the message is “Looters will be shot.” It’s an old message but one that’s proven effective time and again.
No question at all about that.
No stupid, the message to every savage that thinks he/she/it can attack anyone he/she/it doesn’t like is: be careful because your target might be legally armed and unwilling to let you kill him or her. You might get dead trying to be a “tough guy.”
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.”
THEY DONT WANT US TO PUT UP A FIGHT, THEY DONT WANT US TO CHALLENGE THEM, they think they’re winning let them think this
GOOD! All Lives matter, you pukes!
No Dahleen, the messages is: Do not attack someone who is armed.
I believe that all lives matter, and BLM can go to Hell.
No one was killed for their beliefs. Only the left advocates killing people because of their beliefs.

exactly. these violent children can’t handle reality or being told no.
Probably true, so I’d like to see him get the Nifong treatment now!!!!!!!!
