Nov 19, 2021 · 4 hours ago · Some Democrats and activists on Friday denounced Kyle Rittenhouse's not guilty verdict, saying it highlights the systemic racism in the country's judicial system..

GHansen Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Why do you pay attention to this kind of news? What's to discuss? Many of these people are either ignorant, stupid, dishonest or a combination thereof. It's like the "O.J. didn't do it mantra." It's gone way beyond reasonable discussion. A couple of years ago, north of Sacramento, a young White woman was roaming through a neighborhood with a long knife, acting crazy. Police arrived and tried to talk her into putting down the knife, getting some help. She started chasing the police around, trying to stab them. They actually ran from her, did everything possible to not harm her. It was all on video. She was finally subdued. Forgot how but soon a Black "activist" showed up, held a press conference and totally misrepresented what had happened, all in the name of the woman's "rights." It was all on video for anyone to see. It's not about rights. It's about unrestrained criminal behavior. Mentally ill or not, allowing people to chase the police around, trying to kill them, is a bad practice. The media is more or less complicit, giving a platform to the basest dishonesty. Try living in a country where people do not have the right to bear arms, where the press is not free, where executions are swiftly carried out, where law enforcement is respected. It will set your mind at ease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is way beyond reasonable. That is why I pay attention to this type of news. If it was only the stupid, ignorant and dishonest that was fueling this it would be damaging enough. Throw in the politicians and the media pounding the same racist rant the riots of last year may very well look downright peaceful 38 minutes ago, GHansen said: A couple of years ago, north of Sacramento, a young White woman was roaming through a neighborhood with a long knife, acting crazy.

When BLM thugs are referred to as hero's and peaceful protesters as they loot and burn and even the highest office of the land weighed in with "white supremacy", they will have many willing followers. 38 minutes ago, GHansen said: Try living in a country where people do not have the right to bear arms, where the press is not free, where executions are swiftly carried out, where law enforcement is respected.
