Justice Prevailed

I have a spark of hope left for our country.  Yesterday, justice prevailed in the high profile murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.  For me, and most of the sane people in this country, this is more than just a kid being exonerated on drummed up murder charges.  Certainly in the media and in the court of leftist public opinion Kyle Rittenhouse was already convicted.

For those of you living under a rock, like me, I will give a brief summary of the case.  Last August, Kyle Rittenhouse was a 17-year-old young man living approximately 15 miles from Kenosha, Wisconsin.  From what I understand, he worked in Kenosha and commuted there.  During the Black Lives Matter riots and protests last summer -- which were exacerbated by lawlessness thanks to left governors allowing the rampaging-- Kyle decided to go help protect property and provide simple medical care.

Kyle had an AR-15 type weapon to protect himself.  Kyle ended up being chased by convicted felons who wanted to kill him.  At one point he falls down and is attacked with a skate board by one of them.  Another one pointed a handgun at his head.  Despite yelling friendly, friendly, friendly, Kyle ended up having to defend himself with deadly force.  Two of the thugs were killed and one was shot in the arm and lived.  Thankfully there is video of the incident which shows exactly what happened.

The jury wasn't aware but, all three of the rioters were bad guys.  One was a convicted pedophile who did 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting five children ages 9-11.  Another served time for pulling a knife on his brother and grandmother and choking his brother.  The third guy was also a convicted felon for burglary and illegal weapons.  I point this out not to justify shooting them, but to show that they were bad guys up to no good. 

So, to make a long story short, Kyle Rittenhouse ends up killing two men and injuring one in self-defense.  Because it happened at a Black Lives Matter riot, the left wanted to make a scapegoat out of young Kyle Rittenhouse to show America that they better not fight against tyranny.

Kyle Rittenhouse was labeled a white supremacist by the left, media, and most notably by the fraudulent President of the United States, Joe Biden. 

How does defending yourself against three white guys make you a white supremacist?  The media wants you to believe that the three thugs rioting for Black Lives Matter and chasing down and threatening to kill Kyle Rittenhouse were black.  But all three of them are white.  Yet they are still pushing the white supremacist racist murderer agenda.  Leftists are relentless in their lies.

Kyle Rittenhouse was a 17-year-old young man who wanted to help protect Kenosha against violent mobs.  Some people may say that he had no business there.  That he shouldn't have had a firearm.  Yes, for his sake, not going there that night would have saved him a lot of grief and trauma.  But he was doing what he thought was right.  You can join the military at 17.  So, according to our government, he wasn't too young to protect and defend against threats.

After the prosecutor beclowned himself in the lengthy trial, and after a lengthy deliberation, the jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse on all five counts against him.  It was a glorious day for truth, justice, and the American way.

The jury, 12 average Americans, was not intimidated by the media, the left, and the powers that be.  They did the right thing.  Justice was served.  The left's efforts to use a patriotic, upstanding young man as a sacrificial scapegoat to push their tyrannical narrative failed.  Hallelujah.

The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse was more than the right verdict in a murder trial.  It was Americans pushing back against lies, injustice, oppression, and tyranny.

That's my two cents.
