This is a really great way to focus on the systemic racism in it all... because it’s about the presumption of innocence. Rittenhouse was presumed to travel to Kenosha innocently... even though all of his ‘reasons’ for going ended up being complete fabrications.

While protesters are bringing up Kizer’s case in the context of the Rittenhouse trial, Kim points out a key difference: The videos played during the Rittenhouse trial showed the “imminency” of the danger,” he says, and that type of element is missing in Kizer’s case, since the state is arguing that Kizer traveled to…

Kind of seem like he is so what happens now?

That’s the real answer, which frankly makes this shit worse. 

That’s been the m.o. for so many of these GOP politicians and news media talking heads. They are vaccinated but out here championing folks to not get vaccinated. 

We have a grey here yelling about how it isn’t anyone’s business if Sears is vaccinated.  I’d bet there were smallpox-spreaders that played the same game when smallpox was still raging, and I’d bet they killed many with that game.

Immigrants (who the GOP hates) aren’t coming here so that they can refrain from getting the vaccine. They can stay in their own countries if they want to not take the vaccine, because many of them don’t have easy access...

Translation:  This bitch is vaccinated (and boosted) but doesn’t want to antagonize the fuckwit anti-vax MAGA-morons that elected her.

Man, I almost can’t wait until this country devolves to the point where it’s legal to shoot stupid people.

He said his cell has regularly flooded with dirty toilet water from a neighboring cell.

You aren’t racist, you’re a realist.

Since this is my people under discussion I’ve been thinking about this.

Best part of this was that the review determined that the rioters, who were held separate, were actually the best treated and housed of all prisoners in that prison. 

You will be missed here. Thank you for your service.

Yes, I need my gun for “self defense” when I purposely show up where my enemies are at with my gun. This is literally the exact opposite of any type of “stand your ground” or “castle doctrine” type laws where the entire premise is that you, the victim, were just minding your own business and not looking for trouble. 

That’s precisely my point. The whole “we need guns for self defense” thing is a ruse. The “we need guns to kill the people who disagree with us” has always been the point. 

I could even deal with that if it weren’t for their ceaseless cruelty.

RWNJs are literally people who do not care about others until bad things happen to them.

“We need our guns for self defense” — many White people

This is the truest article I've read all year.
