It does sometimes seem that way.

Unfortunately, too many (mostly male) mistake guns for masculinity and bravery. Paternalism will not go out without a fight (which includes guns). Perhaps the barrels of guns are symbolic.

I think our country is on a slide that it won't recover from unfortunately...

The gullible have been empowered by 4 years of Trump. He supports anarchy and does not hate and like all that his supporters do. This is the illusion that is created and white supremacy thinks this is all "freedom" for the white man. It simply is not so. The Kyle Rittenhouse verdict will certainly bring out more people just like him in a short time.

I watched the opinion of Amber Ruffin on her show and then went to her Facebook page to comment. A middle aged white man saw my post and approval of what Amber said, then replied that he was "surprised that I could not see through all this and that I believed all the hype of the media on this issue of the trial." I had to answer that his words were exactly what I would say to him. The only addition was that he was very gullible in my opinion. We each believed the same thing but in a different way. I believe in justice for all. He believes in justice for his own.

Follow that trial and you might see that the judge treated Kyle like he was his own son. If a person of color had of done this he would be facing a lot of jail time. What is the big difference and why do we have that difference? If you wear a red hat or come from the white supremacy crowd you just will not get this.

All of this is going to get much worse.

It won't surprise me if we see more armed thugs at any large protest in the future. They'll come eager for someone to step out of line and then there will be more deaths of innocent people. These people hate liberals, gays, blacks, and pretty much any other minorities that aren't like them and are gleefully eager to kill.

Personally, I think the Rittenhouse acquittal is not just a huge blow to our judicial system but will also help spread the disease of injustice, racism, bigotry, and hatred in this country.

Now we just have to sit back and wait for the next Kyle Rittenhouse. I give it less than 6 months before something like this happens again.

It was a travesty but as I said in an earlier post on this subject, the prosecutor did a horrible job, and this is why he got off. The kid murdered two people because he was where he should not have been! Of course another member didn’t agree and finally told me to fuck off and blocked me. I suppose it’s just hard for some people to accept that not everyone see’s things the way they do.

Fascism is on the rise, here and around the world. It's time for the supporters of democracy to work together and be strong. We can see that it won't be easy. I can't imagine what failure will mean in the future.

KR was charged, tried and a jury found him not guilty. You didn’t hear or see the evidence and no one explained Wisconsin law to you.

Those jerks are jerking you around the way Trump jerks his sheep around.

True assholes

There's really no win here. If someone thinks that they won something, I wouldn't know what that is.

You're right! We can all play cowboys & Indians and indulge our inner fantasies. What fun! The option to murder without consequences!
