I feel like as recent as two years ago, the left would take this exact same situation and use it to push for stricter gun laws. “A 17-year-old shows up in another state with an AR-15, legally, in the middle of a riot, and two people got killed. ‘Self-defense’ or not.” But now they’re all-in on this race stuff.mace1229 said:I don’t get why race is being brought j to this?

But I agree with you. I would have thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to call out the weapon used.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

The other one is wealth or the ability to hire the best of the best, sometimes multiples of them, to defend you. $2M was raised and spent to defend Rittenhouse. Equal justice under the law, sure.HughFreakingDillon said:

Holy shit, anyone believe for a moment that if Rittenhouse were black, and the victims were black, that he’d have the support that he received, the judge would have ruled from the bench as he did and the jury would have ruled the same?

Steven Avery agrees.To the justice system, some cops and lots of people:A black man with a gun is seen as a threat and instigating immediately. Heck sometimes just a black man without the gun.
A white man with a gun is not seen as a threat.
I’ll never understand that if you go out somewhere, not your home, with a gun…somehow that isn’t threatening. But it is, especially in that environment. I’d be threatened by someone carrying a gun in that situation for sure. So you being a gun instigating a threat then people are concerned about you having a gun and try to do something about it and then you can kill them in “self defense”? How about not driving out of your way with a gun to instigate the shooting?
Fuck Kyle. I wish him nothing but the worst in life.hippiemom = goodness0 -

The "justice" system was designed by white males to ensure that other white males would profit and be protected. Kyle profited from being white. From that night in Kenosha all the way to the verdict. Had Kyle been black, this would have had a different outcome. There is nothing "reasonable" about this regarding race.mrussel1 said:

How does a shooting involving white people have anything to do with that? If he was black, yeah maybe he would have been guilty. But that means nothing because it's hypothetical. I mean is she saying that every white person acquitted from here on out is a beneficiary of white privilege even when the 'victims' are white? Is she saying that POC should not ever go to trial? IMO she is turning a crime that has zero to do with race, into a racial crime.Hobbes said:
