So about the Rittenhouse thing [View all]

Yeah, I know that he's innocent until proven guilty. Nonetheless:

Black people were demonstrating.

An idiot teenager named Rittenhouse didn't even live in the area.

But he wanted to be a hero -- (A MAGA hero?)

He had a deadly gun.

That night, he got what he wanted. He murdered two black people and wounded a third.

Anyone who didn't think that racism was what this was about, raise your hand.

This little prick might even get off free. And if he does, we're looking at more demonstrations and even riots. And some other little prick might show up with a gun hoping to shoot someone black.

It's a deadly cycle that never ends. But why would it. After all, this is America.

On edit: The posts here tell me that everyone he shot was white. I didn't know that. So the bottom line is, I don't know what I'm talking about. So please ignore this post. And pardon my jumping to conclusions, my total ignorance, and making a total ass of myself.
