Can our children understand why Rittenhouse, a teenager carrying an AR-15-style rifle, was allowed to walk away from the scene of his alleged crime, past police cars, and return to his home in Illinois, while Jacob Blake was Tasered, shot seven times in the back, left paralyzed and still, until Friday, was handcuffed to his hospital bed while fighting for his life? We do not have enough details to answer that question with certainty, indeed police have offered only some information, but we cannot turn away from our moral obligation to keep asking it.
If they haven't already been ideologically possessed and you give them all of the information, I think many of them could figure it out. It isn't hard. Rittenhouse approached police with his hands up and complied with their orders; Blake had a warrant out for his arrest for violent crimes, didn't comply with officers, actively tried to fight with officers and reached inside of his vehicle in which a knife was later found.
It's really not hard to see a huge difference between those two interactions.
It may seem like that, especially if you've been watching this slow-motion car crash for years, but I still have faith that we'll recover from this. Fortunately for us, the more they push their antics out into the open, the more normal people see their shit and reject it.
And rioters were only defending themselves from the gunman. I mean if you saw someone walking around the street with a gun, wouldn't YOU attack them too!? Its just common sense. I mean you have a family to protect, and he might shoot them, so your best bet is to attack him head on, just like Ahmaud Arbery (who dindu nuffin!) and wrestle the gun out of his hands!....no seriously I had a guy make an argument similar to that recently, and I don't even begin to know how to explain to him how unbelievably stupid that idea is.
I think most people avoid looking at this stuff. I think most people who look at it, and are given basic facts (i.e: one resisted arrest, the other didn't - plus there's a lot more reasons and details), come to the same conclusion.
We're just screaming at the people who inhale propaganda like a bag of Doritos at 2AM. That's one battle. The other battle is the empathy of people who are barely aware or have any information and just get their good nature taken advantage of. Those people have to stop voting for the same things that cause the problems they feel empathetic to.

But it's now deemed racist to point this out. The west is irrevocably ruined IMO.

But how? As Yuri Bezmenov said; "You are stuck with them."
These communists aren't going to change their minds.
Not sure how these people use such mental gymnastics. Blake was fighting with the cops. She just doesn’t want to see the difference
