You’re apparently allowed to kill protesters if your gun that a friend bought you has a long enough barrel. Noted. ---

Being white helps, too. Not necessarily in court. Because being say, black, is likely to get you killed then and there, no trial necessary. ---

I don’t know what people thought they were going to get out of the Rittenhouse trial (I generally agree with the opinion of David Graham in the Atlantic: [The Rittenhouse Trial Could Never Have Been What Americans Wanted - The Atlantic](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/11/rittenhouse-trial-verdict-not-guilty/620737/)) but watching some of the meltdown on the left is just sad. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Damn and I thought Asahi was banned. \< takes a deep breath \> I was angry yesterday. I was angry with the murders… angry with the verdict… angry with a judge presiding who was so obviously compromised… angry with the prosecution not being up to snuff… angry that an elected official in Washington, DC actually encouraged people to arm themselves and [“be dangerous”](https://www.newsweek.com/rep-cawthorn-tells-followers-armed-dangerous-after-rittenhouse-verdict-1651507).

Hey, we’re all entitled to a little meltdown now and then, especially when provocation keeps on coming. Speaking for myself, I was more shocked and saddened than offended. That is to say, we’re cool. ---
