Things that make you go hmmm

There's a missing term that reconciles those two attitudes.

Self-defense. Any black man shoots anybody in self-defense, it's self-defense. Any woman shoots somebody in self-defense, it's self-defense. Any Hispanic shoots anybody in self-defense, it's self-defense. Any Asian shoots anybody in self-defense, it's self-defense.

Any white man shoots somebody in self-defense, it's suddenly not.

Let's stop beating around the bush. Rittenhouse is innocent, along with anyone who possibly could have been in his shoes and done what he did. He did what you would do, or anyone else being attacked. He is not innocent because he shot them and because of a political agenda- he is innocent because he had no better response. The Kenosha Kickers there got shot because, well, they committed assault on someone who had a gun.

Blame the shooter, not the gun. So long as the shooter is guilty in that right.

This is about race to you all. Calling it how it is.

It's really not supposed to be.

It's about a kid whose adult life could have been ruined because he did the right thing, but he was white.

Stop making things about race so you can say racism. It's not a good look. If it's not that way, don't make it that way. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Not to say what you all did was fixing it. It was making everything an unnecessary level of horrible. White kid shoots white adults. It should not be what you are making it.

All Rittenhouse's victims were white, so we're not objecting to race here. We're objecting to the fact he caused needless deaths, period, and the fact that:

-Rittenhouse lied about his age to get the gun he wasn't supposed to have.
-He lied about his qualifications (he wasn't a paramedic) in order to get himself closer to the action, and confuse any police who might have stopped him.
-He open-carried an assault rifle into a crowd-control situation without any crowd-control training. This is one of the hardest jobs that police officers/National Guard members are ever given, and he barged right in.
-He pointed the rifle at people, which caused others to view him as hostile.
-He shot at and killed one guy.
-He shot at others who attempted to disarm him: killing one more, wounding a third, and missing the "Jump-Kick Man" who delivered a kick to Rittenhouse's face, which appears to be the only justice the kid will ever face for his outrageously reckless conduct that day.

Read up on the Kenosha unrest. Rittenhouse is the only one who caused any fatalities at Kenosha.

Let that sink in. One week of unrest, "hundreds and hundreds" of "BLM/ANTIFA rioters," and only Rittenhouse actually killed anyone.

He was out of line. He was acquitted, since the jury couldn't find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but he is no hero and definitely no one anyone should think about emulating.

Nobody said he should be imitated. He did bad things that day. Those things should not have been done. He should have been found guilty for owning the firearm and lying about his qualifications, as well as for his conduct. However, all three of the men that he shot had attacked him. He is innocent in having shot them. He should not have been there, but that doesn't making him guilty in the right he kept himself from being beat halfway to death.
