I guess we can dismiss anything published by the Nation going forward.

Kyle Rittenhouse Has Gotten Away With Murder—as Predicted

Rittenhouse’s acquittal is not a “miscarriage” of justice, as some might claim. It is our white justice system working as intended.

Kyle Rittenhouse, who was 17 years old when he shot three people, killing two, officially got away with murder.

He was found not guilty in a jury trial. if the jury was tainted, why did the Prosecution not object?

A jury of his white peers ruled that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense when he illegally acquired a gun,

A lie, it was legally acquired.

traveled across state lines,

Untruth, his father lives in Kenosha Area, KR lives 20 miles away with his mom.

lied about his status as a medic,

Lie, he has trained as a medic.

pointed his gun at protesters,

Lie, The jury said it was all in self defense.

and then used it to kill others.

In self defense.

The verdict is not surprising, if you are familiar with how the criminal justice system works for white people. Wisconsin Judge Bruce Schroeder, who presided over the Rittenhouse trial, consistently made rulings in the best interest of the white gunman. He refused to punish Rittenhouse for violating the terms of his bail;

just like many other people have violated theirs.

excluded evidence of Rittenhouse’s behavior before and after the shooting that spoke to his intent and lack of remorse;

it was shown nationally in all media, and was prejudicial in a courtroom.

allowed the defense to mischaracterize the people Rittenhouse killed as “rioters”;

Were they not rioting? or part of a riot mob?

yelled at prosecutors in front of the jury; dismissed an illegal gun charge against the gunman; and had the jury clap for one of Rittenhouse’s expert witnesses.

Others might want to argue about why Schroeder was biased toward the defendant (I think the judge’s MAGA ringtones and off-color jokes tell you all you need to know about why he was sympathetic to a white gunman who shot up anti–police violence protesters at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement). But that he was biased toward Rittenhouse was obvious to those watching the trial without blinders.

Schroeder is a registered Democrat, Ran for Senate as a Democrat, was appointed by a Democrat Governor. Why are these details left out?

Still, a sympathetic judge and a predominately white jury are just standard gifts the criminal justice system gives to white boys accused of criminal violence. Rittenhouse also enjoyed hero status among white supremacists and Republicans as well as favorable media coverage from Fox News and The New York Times.

OMG, two news outlets out of hundreds in the country didnt try to hang him before even the trial started...Can you not hear the BS here?

No doubt, some people will express shock at the verdict over the next few days. But Rittenhouse’s freedom is not a “miscarriage” of justice—it is our white justice system working as intended. This system is designed to free people like Rittenhouse: white vigilantes who kill to maintain the best interests of whiteness. It doesn’t always work (I still believe the people who lynched Ahmaud Arbery will be found guilty).

Then doesnt that violate your stated thesis that ALL laws and courtrooms are there to see Blacks Killed?

But it works often enough (see George Zimmerman) that it gives comfort and confidence to any white person who clearly realizes that they might do an obviously illegal and violent thing (like, say, storm the US Capitol) and either get away with it completely or receive a light punishment.

Shaman got jail time, more will. WTF are we talking about again?

We know that the system does not work this way for Black people.

No one in America thinks it is perfectly fair at this time, yet it is not all bad like you are portraying.

It is difficult even to imagine a similar set of circumstances for a Black defendant. Nobody honestly thinks that a Black teenager who got an illegal gun lie and then crossed state lines lie to shoot up a MAGA protest would be greeted by a sympathetic Black judge, in front of a predominately Black jury; be lauded by prominent Black leaders;

Who lauded KR? He was in jail for months and roasted alive by people like you in the media that jumped to conclusions about facts that are not true and you continue to lie about untrue facts. For what end? Justice? Or your perverted view of justice? 

enjoy favorable media coverage; and then walk free. Nobody credible thinks that. In point of fact, here is the full and complete list of Black teenagers who have killed two people at a MAGA rally to defend their community: …

Rittenhouse, however, shot and killed two people at a protest against police violence with an illegally obtained gun, lie and even the illegal gun charge was dropped against him.

it was not illegal.

And that is precisely how a majority of white people want the white justice system to work. By their votes in elections (including elections for judges like Bruce Schroeder);

That would be Democrats. And my guess is that you would have stood in a long line to vote for him yourself.

their lack of support for criminal justice reform; and the cold reality that prosecutors favor white jurors when the defendants are Black,

The jury selection process is a two way street. Jurors can be struck by both sides for any reason. You are ignoring this fact. If the area where the crime occurred is majority white, then a jury majority can assumed to be white. Not all whites are bad as you are obviously implying. And besides, there were no Black folks injured or even involved in this particular court case.

while defense attorneys favor white jurors when the defendants are white, we see that a majority of white people choose things to be this way. They want a system that will be, if not sympathetic, at least empathetic toward eruptions of white violence, while swift and harsh toward Black people accused of crime. We don’t have to live with a biased criminal justice system; white people, enough of them, just like it that way.

So white violence will continue, unabated.

So all whites are bad, all of them are?

The Rittenhouse case started with a cop, Rusten Sheskey, shooting a Black man, Jacob Blake, in the back, six times, permanently paralyzing him. The cop was not punished. The outrage at that violence led to protests, which attracted another violent white boy, Rittenhouse, who killed two people. Now, Rittenhouse will not be punished. If you are the next violent white person, why would you ever worry about being held accountable for whatever despicable act you are planning? All we can hope for is that the next Sheskey or Rittenhouse isn’t gunning for us, or somebody we love.

in case you havent looked, the prisons are still majority white males. they may have too many blacks as a percentage, but they are still overwhelmingly WHITE.

There is no justice. And there is no peace. And if you complain about that, white people will show up to shoot you. Just like a majority of white people want them to.

That's just a ******* lie.

Shameful, but not surprising.

I've never heard of 'The Nation' before.

So everyone also agrees with Rosenbaum that anyone there that night to protect property from "BLM Protesters" was an.....N-WORD MFer, that needed to be "****** Killed and their hearts ripped out?" I am asking for a friend.....

Funny, but I dont think Rosenbaum, the CRAZY AF rioter that had multiple convictions for pedophilia and sexual relations with a child AND that had just been released from the hospital the day before after a SUICIDE ATTEMPT had FAILED is someone anyone should be defending.  CAF, screaming at people HELPING rioters that needed medical attention. Calling them MFers and N-WORDS!!!! Do some of you folks ever hear yourselves?

Help a brother out here and explain your acceptance that true BLM Protesters would be screaming the N-WORD at anyone. Can you site BLM Material, like a webpage where the BLM Protesters were okayed to use the N-WORD or maybe even urged to use it please. The world would love to see that.

Or maybe Rosenbaum was just BATCRAP CRAZY AF AND LOOKING FOR A WAY TO COMMIT SUICIDE, LIKE MAYBE SUICIDE BY COP? OH YEA, THATS RIGHT, THE COPS WERE UNDER ORDERS TO NOT DO THEIR JOB THAT NITE....I think I'll go with that.
