‘SITUATIONAL AWARENESS’

Kyle Rittenhouse—the Illinois teenager who has been charged with the murder of two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin—has been lauded by a Republican congressman for showing “incredible restraint.” Police say the 17-year-old Rittenhouse, a Blue Lives Matter fanatic who was carrying a military-style semi-automatic rifle, killed two and injured a third person during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. But Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie threw his support behind the alleged murderer in a Thursday radio interview with a West Virginia talk-radio host, giving the teen credit because “he didn’t empty a magazine into a crowd.” Massie said Rittenhouse “exhibited incredible restraint and presence and situational awareness” on the deadly night. The congressman went on: “If I were on a jury and all I had was the evidence that I have been able to acquire through social media and the videos that are out there, I would not convict him of a single one of these charges.”

3. Shooting three people instead of 20 is a win in their column.

When it's one of theirs.

4. And Kentucky keeps electing the likes of Massie and McConnell. WTF is wrong with those people?

I think everyone should boycott the Derby this year, unless/until it's moved to another venue, or until they get rid of these anti-American law breakers.

Kentucky just entered the no path home f***ed up territory. Can't democrats use this as a way to turn around some voters?
