Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial was little more than an act of defamation by activists and media. He had dared to defend others and private property.
Rittenhouse shouldn’t have been walking around Kenosha as a vigilante, while Kenosha was burning. But the evidence in the trial proved that, while maybe he shouldn’t have been there and maybe he didn’t fully grasp how serious that situation was, he acted in self-defense and without any motivations beyond wanting to protect people and their property. After all, as much as I believe Rittenhouse shouldn’t have been there, those he killed should not have been either, along with all the rioters who sought chaos and anarchy.
Media and Twitter’s blue-checks saw the result of the trial. They decided that rather than justice being done (maybe with some help from an incompetent prosecutor team), white supremacy would be upheld. It didn’t matter that Rittenhouse was not a black person. He was trying to save minority-owned businesses. They decided he was there as a counter-protestor to BLM (he wasn’t) and that he is now a racist murderer.
All this may be going on but almost all of these personalities failed to notice a more crucial trial in Georgia.
Travis McMichael, George McMichael, William Bryan, Jr., are all set to be tried. Today, in fact, we’ll hear closing arguments. These men face a range of charges including assault, felony murder, and false imprisonment in Ahmaud arbery’s death.
Jeff Charles (my colleague) has provided stellar coverage of developments in trial while the left panicked over Rittenhouse trial.
The left likes to play up the worries that there will be more Rittenhouses, more vigilantes out there killing “mostly peaceful” demonstrators. The media is so focused on a white child who murdered white violent rioters they forget about the black men who unlawfully pursued and killed them. Although they were also vigilantes and not much else, Rittenhouse is the focus of media attention.
The system worked in Rittenhouse’s case. Rittenhouse was taken into custody and brought to trial. Twelve jurors examined all of the evidence, finding him not guilty. In the Arbery murder case, however, the system worked in favor of the victim right from the beginning. Bryan, Jr. and the McMichaels brothers were not only not charged, but Bryan, Jr. was also not taken into custody. Bryan, Jr.’s murderers were stopped by the local district attorney. This case was a failure of justice. It took public protest to make it right.
In this case, the system protected some of today’s most vile aspects of society. It was fortunate that the public outcry was strong enough to prompt other authorities to intervene and the case proceeded exactly as it should. I don’t know how the jury will decide, but I am hoping that justice will play out as it should in this case. Ahmaud Abery shouldn’t be killed, and there should be an accountability.
However, most social media users believe that the most important event was the trial for a white child who shot two of his attackers and wound another. While they were focusing on the white kid who attacked white men, the majority of them ignored the fact that white men killed one black man. Whether it was the BLM aspect of the riots or the “big, scary gun” that Rittenhouse had, they were more focused on the case that, arguably, should never have been brought against Rittenhouse instead of a case that local officials tried to sweep under the rug.
That’s what it says about those activists who have little blue checks right next to their names. There is nothing good.
