It’s hardly surprising that a media so intent on making everything about race would give the Kyle Rittenhouse trial the same treatment. A little over two weeks ago, Republican election gains were dismissed by some as a result of white supremacy. Voter frustrations are a myth. Candidates such as Glenn Youngkin and even Winsome Sears were supposedly chosen because of racism. Kyle Rittenhouse, a young white male, was never going to be judged fairly by the same people.
The facts are clear. On Aug. 25, 2020, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse took a medical kit and an AR-15 to downtown Kenosha, Wisconsin, during riots over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a young black man. Rittenhouse sought to help protect private property and render medical aid, if necessary. During his time there, he was aggressively pursued by more than one man. In self-defense, he shot and killed two of them and injured a third. The shootings are captured on cellphone and drone video.
