Kyle Rittenhouse is no hero -- he's a gun-toting, cop-loving product of white privilege who thinks a
piece of property matters more than the life of a Black man
The same people who think Kyle Rittenhouse should get a medal for killing two people and wounding another with a semi-automatic rifle at a Wisconsin Black Lives Matter protest think Alec Baldwin should rot in jail for accidentally shooting and killing a woman on a movie set with what he was told was an unloaded gun.
And, even if you make the senseless case that the men Rittenhouse shot were arsonists, rioters, and looters and not victims as defense attorneys did none of these alleged crimes carried the death penalty, and certainly no one appointed Rittenhouse as their judge, jury and executioner.
Still, the wave of sympathy being generated for this adolescent assassin is astounding. Equally troubling is the jurys decision that another self-appointed vigilante should get away with murder.
Maybe the jury bought into the hateful hashtag that started trending on Twitter even before closing arguments were finished at Rittenhouses murder trial #NotGuilty.
