An Appetite for Destruction
The Rittenhouse trial is a Petri dish, a microcosm of a world that shows how dangerous the Democrats and the American left truly are, and how far they are willing to go.
Sadly, the title doesn’t refer to the 1987 Guns N' Roses album. This is real world destruction via the sham trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.
The Rittenhouse trial is a microcosm of our sad world, a Petri dish we all can observe until its predicted end.
The logic, if it can be called that, basically boils down to this (via Ace of Spades):
Rosenbaum only chased you and tried to take your gun.
The guy who kicked you only stomped you in your face.
Huber only hit you in the head with a skateboard used as a club.
And now: Grosskreutz only pointed a handgun at you. You had an AR-15 and should have just absorbed all these attacks because it is the only Real Weapon at the scene.
There are several leading leftist lights who are even going so far as claiming that all Rittenhouse (or anyone) had to do was to obey the commands of the ANTIFA/BLM rioters (who were in the process of burning the downtown of Kenosha down) and just let them beat him to death and he wouldn’t have wantonly killed Rosenbaum and Huber.
On Twitter, some rando leftie numbskull proposed this logical and totally sane prescription:
“What people could do with anger about the Rittenhouse trial is advocate for a law that says that if you bring a weapon to a public place where you know violence is basically guaranteed, you lose any self defense grounds.”
Wow. Th idea that you lose grounds for self-defense if you bring a weapon into a public place where violence is basically guaranteed - like a fiery but mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter protest - is a solution looking for a problem. That’s some real next level thinking there, folks.
Joyless Reid, the Race Lady - who for some reason gets paid to call people racists on a low rated show on MSNBC – wants the judge removed because his phone has Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” as a ringtone.
That’s a MAGA thing, you know. He’s a Trump plant. And a racist Proud Boy.
Let’s review: the left from the leftist thick-browed morons on Twitter and Facebook all the way to President Dementia have claimed a guy who shot three white attackers was a white supremacist. They have said he didn’t need a gun to be in an area where ANTIFA/BLM were burning buildings and beating people – and where cops were told to stand down. He is a murderer because he used disproportionate force to stop an attack on is person – he had an AR when the other attackers only had a 9mm pistol, a skateboard and were kicking him in the face.
And it is all on video. All of it. The prosecutor is arguing against reality.
The left believes Rittenhouse is guilty, not because he stopped an attack on his life, it was because he opposed something the left supported – the “righteous” rioting and destruction of Kenosha.
This is the manifestation of the Rawlings-Blake Doctrine.
Remember the riots in Baltimore after the 2015 death of Freddy Gray in police custody?
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said:
“I’ve made it very clear that I work with the police, and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters could exercise their right to free speech. It’s a very delicate balancing act because while we tried to make sure they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we gave those who wished to destroy space to do that, as well. And we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to deescalate. And that’s what you saw.”
Give ‘em room to destroy.
That’ll teach them. They will eventually get tired and need a nap.
The Rittenhouse prosecutor is horrible, but that is to be expected since he never had a case in the first place. This was always a Kafkaesque show trial, a literal Maoist struggle session. The leftist Democrats need Rittenhouse to be guilty, so they are squinting their little beady eyes and wishing as hard as they can on the crystal they got from Gwyneth Paltrow.
But the important thing to take in is how the left always, and I mean always, starts first with their desired outcome, and then creates (or bends to the point of breaking) every fact or piece of evidence to fit that outcome – and they use the process as punishment.
Five minutes after the incident in Kenosha, every single Democrat had declared Kyle Rittenhouse guilty, and he was an obvious white supremacist killer who went to Kenosha just to randomly shoot righteous, mostly peaceful black rioters and arsonists.
The only part of that story that was true was that there were rioters and arsonists.
The Democrat left doesn’t care about facts, evidence, or truth. They only care about preserving their ideology and eliminating any opposing points of view. This preservation has reached levels of suppression not seen since the days of Josef Stalin.
The Rittenhouse trial shows how dangerous they are. These are people committed to destruction, not just of an individual but the entire American system of justice.
