Over the weekend, the left has spent a great deal of its time raging over the result of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. They clearly didn’t get the result they needed after Rittenhouse was dominated not responsible on all prices, and have made ludicrous claims about his standing as a assassin and the way this nation is a racist mess that solely advantages white supremacists. To be clear, there aren’t any indications in anyway that Rittenhouse is racist in any regard, and the folks he needed to shoot in self-defense have been all white.
However amid the recent takes about Rittenhouse have been disgusting protection and reward of these Rittenhouse had shot. We’ve been masking a few of these reactions each throughout and after the trial right here at Opinion, and it’s given us a fairly good concept of a few of the lunacy persons are prepared to embrace with a view to maintain their worldview intact.
However nobody had a take so white-hot as Marvel actor Mark Ruffalo who performs “The Unimaginable Hulk” on the silver display. The actor is understood for leaning thus far to the left that he falls over, however his feedback in regards to the folks Rittenhouse shot transcend any kind of motive or morality. This contains Joseph Rosenbaum, a person who’s responsible of repeatedly sexually assaulting kids, and was lovingly given the title “JoJo,” which Ruffalo makes use of.
“We come collectively to mourn the lives misplaced to the identical racist system that devalues Black lives and devalued the lives of Anthony and JoJo,” tweeted Ruffalo.
We come collectively to mourn the lives misplaced to the identical racist system that devalues Black lives and devalued the lives of Anthony and JoJo. #ReimagineKenosha

A fast apart, we don’t come collectively to mourn the lack of a repeated little one rapist. The truth is, I wouldn’t be stunned if there have been events devoted to celebrating his dying.
However disgusting is that this mourning from folks like Ruffalo. Celebrities, who clearly didn’t watch a minute of the trial, are going full-bore into the protection of these killed that evening by Rittenhouse, information on why be damned. It will get even worse when you think about that these persons are like pied pipers for idiots and these idiots will unfold this narrative far and large, infecting individuals who aren’t idiots however don’t know any higher for not being glued to the information 24 hours a day.
This degree of evil is outrageous and it triggered one man to talk out on Reddit who’s claiming to be the brother of one in all Rosenbaum’s victims who was raped as a baby. Within the submit (which is now locked by moderators) the person mentioned that within the early 2000s, his youthful brother was sexually abused by Rosenbaum together with what he figures are dozens of different youngsters and detailed that he plead out of round 11 counts of kid rape with many different claims by no means making it to court docket.
The impact it had on his brother, he mentioned, was devastating:
My brother and I are late 20s/Early 30s now and he has largely moved on however up till he was 14 he would cry nearly each evening and ask to sleep In the identical mattress as me or my sister or mother. I can solely think about what the opposite victims are going by way of.
The submit continues by highlighting responses to the trial from celebrities like Pedro Pascal, who referred to as Rosenbaum a “hero,” however mentioned it was Ruffalo referring to Rosenbaum as “JoJo.”
“I’m so f****ng indignant. This man was a terror who deserved hell 20 years in the past and main celebrities are making him to be a Martyr,” wrote the Redditor.
“I’m so god****d dissatisfied in our flesh pressers and celebrities and athletes who all have acted like he was a hero,” he added.
There’s no approach to affirm if this particular person is definitely the brother of the sufferer however anonymity doesn’t essentially equal falsehood. Even when it’s not the precise brother, what this submit is highlighting, albeit unintentionally, may be very attention-grabbing.
For one, there’s quite a bit being made from the heroism and victimhood of the folks Rittenhouse shot, together with Rosenbaum, however not lots of people contemplating the victims and households of Rosenbaum’s victims. One can’t assist however assume that that is intentional as dehumanizing these folks in any approach would detract from the narrative they’ve generated round Rittenhouse.
Secondly, celebrities might have referred to as them heroes in ignorance nevertheless it’s fairly clear that they’re ignorant not. In case you take a look at the Twitter posts by Ruffalo and Pascal, they’ve been ratioed into oblivion. They’ve been informed that these individuals who Rittenhouse shot have been horrible folks, particularly the kid rapist Rosenbaum, together with proof in addition. But, neither of those males have taken their posts down or issued follow-up tweets apologizing for the error in defending them.
Why? It’s an necessary query, and whereas I might allude to the truth that Hollywood is infamous for being infested with pedophiles and individuals who would defend them, I’m undecided that’s the rationale on this case.
I feel we’ve got celebrities, activists, politicians, and so forth. who’re so invested within the leftist narrative that they might defend little one rapists with a view to assist alongside their facet and maintain the precise fastened as evil within the minds of the western world. They know what they’re doing, however they really feel they need to do it for the higher good.
In different phrases, the division in our nation between political events is so large and huge that individuals on the left will promote and defend actual depravity and evil with a view to personal the precise. Victory by any means essential is a precept of the left and has been for a while, and we’re actually seeing what meaning now. If necessity dictates that individuals defend little one rapists, then the angle from these on the left is “so be it.”
