And specifically calling out Rob Reiner's Twitter take wrong (it wasn't, either literally or semantically). It was almost like the gunsplainers who came here (likely paid) to make us falter and weaken our resolve in our efforts to enact gun safety laws:Because, we didn't know what we were talking about so how could we take a side. It really was hard not to see the posts on Rittenhouse as an average poster making a point.

Like it even matters if we got everything right in the case as the outcome would be the same no matter what and the the dead would still be dead.

Three vigilantes who gave each other permission to do a 'citizen's arrest' on a fourth person.

One of them decided that as the jogger was resisting by struggling, he should use lethal force to slow him down.

Oh, by the way, assailants were middle aged white guys. Jogger was black.

Not a co-incidence, surely?

Begs the question: why are so many white males from all walks of life feeling it's ok to kill someone of color?
No official law book exists that says skin color is a mitigating factor in a murder case.

USA, home of the brave, home of the free - you have a problem!
