Because the same judge who wouldn't let the men Kyle shot be referred as victims while saying it was okay to call them rioters, didn't allow the prosecution to use social media to asses Kyle's mindset. Also, I'm not talking about the legal case for racism. I'm talking about the court of public opinion and the fact that racists are celebrating Kyle as a hero, and that he welcomed the embrace of the Proud Boys. The single picture you were talking about also comes with words and witnesses. https://www.wpr.org/prosecutors-ask-court-ban-kyle-rittenhouse-going-bars-associating-proud-boys I know folks on your side of this story hate playing the "what if Kyle had been Black?" game but.........what if Kyle had been a Black kid carrying an AR-15 into that exact same scene, killed two people trying to disarm him, and walked away without even a lesser count to show some culpability for his actions? For starters, we'd be having this conversation over on the Violent Unhinged Left thread. 1 Link to comment
teachercd Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I think they used his social media in the trial because they brought up his amazingly ridiculous tik tok name... You have not seen comedy until you see a lawyer ask "And your tic tok name is fourdoorsandmorewhores, correct?" Link to comment

nic Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Sometimes I think progressives want everyone to be miserable. "Starting in 1970, many Americans, led by Indigenous protesters, believed that Thanksgiving should be rededicated as a National Day of Mourning to reflect the centuries-long displacement and persecution of Native Americans. The recent shift from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day reflects a changing national mood," the event description states. "Should Americans reconsider Thanksgiving when wrestling with our country’s complicated past?" 1 Link to comment

Progressives want everyone to be miserable as much as conservatives want to be happy and oblivious to problems that don't affect them and thus don't exist. That is to say, a small amount probably do, but for most that's far too simplistic of an analysis. 2 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 To me, the first shooting is the most important. Anything after that, people could think he’s an active shooter and be trying to stop him. So, can someone explain how the first shooting was self defense? 1 Link to comment

He eventually was shot and spent months in a hospital recovering. He was released in time to join the march. He eventually came back to farm in Kansas. He was like my great, great, great grandfather. They eventually moved to Nebraska to farm. interestingly, his wife was the great grand daughter of John Adams. 2 1 Link to comment

I am sure there are reasonable progressives with their heart in right place. My nieces being two of them. I also know many conservatives who recognize issues and spend lots of time and money trying to help. My family is currently helping Afghan refugees from the evacuation fiasco settle in Denver. Before that we helped a Karin State family. Many other inner city ministries as well. I get to come home to the comfortable suburb and really only get a glimpse of others lives. When a university faculty suggests we turn Thanksgiving into a day of mourning they have lost me for good. I hope my kids never encounter such an instructor. 1 Link to comment
