Five years ago today, at a protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse—who was openly carrying an AR-15-style rifle—shot and killed two people and wounded another. The victims’ loved ones did not receive justice.

The loved ones of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber have to accept that both men, for varying reasons, attacked an armed teen without provocation. A teen who had legal privilege to use his firearm to defend himself. Their deaths are their fault, as unpalatable as that may seem to them, and you.

Do you have any evidence of provocation? The State sure as heck didn’t.

Lame effort. The Kenosha shootings were not a whodunnit like OJ Simpson’s 30yo murder case. The shootings were on video, witnessed and even admitted to as being intentional by the defendant. The jury only had to give their verdict on whether the defendant’s belief and conduct were reasonable.

Imagine thinking that was a normal trial.

Imagine thinking that there was even a case to try. It didn’t surprise me to hear that both Wisconsin’s superstar DA Mike Gravely and his deputy Carli McNeill both declined to prosecute it, or that prosecutor Jason Zapf quit the DA’s office rather than take it on.

You could always prove me wrong rather than just make lame quips. 🤷🏻♂️ Oh wait, of course you can’t. 🤦🏻♂️

Since then, armed demonstrations have continued. A 2021 study by @everytown.bsky.social found that armed demonstrations are violent or destructive six times more often than unarmed demonstrations. Read more from Everytown about the problem of armed demonstrations in the US. ⬇️

They should be asking themselves why their loved ones carried out an unprovoked attack on someone who was clearly armed.

That doesn’t make it correct to be armed and a minor, or murder.

Since when is it incorrect to defend yourself against unprovoked attacks? Being a minor. Not against the law. Being armed. Not against the law. Murder 🚫 Self defense isn't murder. In fact, there's an entire state statute that covers this. You should read it.

What exactly did I make up? Be specific. Also, why are you bringing up politics? I certainly haven't. Are you prepared to explain why the self-defense statute shouldn't have applied to Rittenhouse?
