From what I understand there was a lot of misinformation going on with legit news sites reporting he killed black protesters. They changed the articles but didn't go out of their way to get the new info out there, so lots of people were misinformed from the getgo

Are you a Republican, because I have only heard Republicans say this.

Due to the fact that black defendents aren't typically treated the way he was by the system/court/media. We don't get consoled by the judge, have charges thrown out as easily, get juries that appear to be stacked in our favor, etc.

These.

It was always a race thing. White supremacy doesn't tolerate white people who fight against white supremacy, and Rittenhouse is ideologically aligned with white supremacy, so his crimes are treated lightly.

Also Rosenbaum is a Jewish name. That, and not him being convicted of child molestation, is why fascists approve of his death.

Rittenhouse hangs out with white supremacists, flashes a white supremacist hand sign, then goes out of his way to go to a protest against the mistreatment of black Americans, where he kills two people in self-defense, then gets zero legal ramifications in a trial heard by a judge who treated him like his little buddy.

I don't see how it can't be about race.

On a twitch stream someone brought up the cached pages for NYT where they said the victims were black. And no, im not a republican.

EDIT: Here's one of the cached pages that showed up on a google search




Those are just the ones I found quick to post here, but there were more at the time that hadn't been purged yet.

Also the disparate treatment of white-passing and Black people by police and courts. Ignoring the racial component of the progression of legal matters by pretending there's "not a race thing" is part of how white supremacy survives in America despite being unpopular.

Guess you didn't have a problem with all those n-bombs Rosenbaum was dropping that night, dude wasn't there to legitimately protest, he was looking to start trouble (which he did).
Rosenbaum was suicidal, there are safer ways to start trouble and he recently attempted suicide.

Maybe a sheltered larping 17 year old should learn to notice 'crazy eye' and back the fuck out of a situation.

Either he's doing the "Okay" symbol in a pose--which you know, is the coolest thing ever next to the peace sign and duck lips--or he's throwing up what's now well known as a white supremacist symbol.

Either way, he was crying like a bitch in that photo.

If it is a white supremacist symbol why does AOC do it so often?

Because he went to essentially counter protest a BLM rally under the guise of "helping" and killed two pro BLM supporters in the process and then was seen with With Supremacists. He also said prior to that that he wished he could shoot some of those protestors at a previous time. there is a reason why all the "whiteboywinter" things started. White Supremacists were watching him closely to see how they could handle BLM and the like.

Because the color of his skin is the reason he was allowed to open carry a semiautomatic rifle into an area full of people protesting against racial injustice by a systemically corrupt group of people, be protected by said group of people, and kill two protesters.

None of this would happen if a black boy was the one with a gun

Yes. because it is. I don't understand why people like you try and feign ignorance to it. It originally wasnt. It can be used as simply saying "ok", but context is very important. it was adopted by white supremacists as some "secret code". you know that but for some reason refuse to admit it. Kyle is posing with white supremacists in that photo. Its just a coincidence that one of the only times you see him doing that is on a picture with admitted white supremacists? Come on, you're not stupid. You can understand context. you can understand how things can change meaning because of what people choose to do with it.

Yes, it started as a troll and after people started taking it seriously real white supremacists started to do it unironically. Why is that such a difficult concept for some of you?

you're right. but when it is there is no reason to ignore it. You can't just wave away every instance of it with "IT WAS JUST A TROLL"...he's posing with with supremacists in the picture. Sure, he could just be saying "ok!"...but context really doesn't favor him in that situation.

Dude, no one is arguing that the okay sign is 100% of the time a white supremacist gesture. But some of the time, it really is, and context can help determine whether or not it is

It was because of misinformation and the responses in this topic alone shows that people don't care what happened or didn't. They heard some shit and believe it's true. Just like Trumpers.

People still starting with "well, he crossed state lines" as if that means anything. Or ignoring that he was there all day cleaning shit, but going at night suddenly meant he was playing 4D Chess to kill some other white dudes, lol.
