...and reading all the posts, I'll leave you with one question. How do we achieve "justice" when EVERYONE involved is guilty? (of something).
Jacob Blake was no "angel"--everyone conveniently forgets that--"Blake had a warrant for his arrest from July, based on charges of third-degree sexual assault, trespassing, and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse." Cops come on the scene like an episode of "The A-Team". "Peaceful" protesters--aka arsonists and looters--cause millions of dollars in damage to public and private property/businesses. Both sides (protesters and counter-protesters) are armed--people get threatened, harmed, and/or killed.
Then we embark on a trial--with an over-zealous prosecutor trying to get his name in the papers, and a clearly biased judge. Let's not forget the "distraught mother" who thought it was OK for her 17 year-old son to buy an assault rifle and then travel to Kenosha to participate in this train-wreck. What could possibly go wrong?
Rittenhouse walked--right or wrong?--does it even really matter? He's far removed from the "cause" of all of this--an accused criminal with outstanding warrants resisting arrest (again).
"So I talk to the night, I head for the light, try and hold it on the road. Thank God for the man who put
the white lines on the highway"--a very dear friend for decades Michael Stanley (Gee)--RIP
Follow Ups:
How does a cop -- in the fog of rioting --figure out which guy is the bad guy, Rittenhouse or Blake?
One twist of fate and Rittenhouse could have been dead.
being an "accused criminal" is a death sentence in the U.S. ?
Also, I do not condone vandalism or looting at all, but is that a death penalty for the pre-trial suspects ?
...resisting arrest is a crime. So are arson and looting. You have a warrant out for your arrest ONLY if you are a criminal or valid suspect in a criminal case--as determined/issued by a judge.
If you run, or confront law-enforcement, all bets are off. Sorry. And then we burn and loot because some criminal didn't comply with law-enforcement?
"Because he was black" is NOT a valid defense--not with outstanding warrants or caught in the commission of a crime--Sorry.
NONE of this would have happened if the CRIMINAL WITH AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT had just surrendered.

Blake had a knife in his hand when he ran to the car. It was clearly visible in some picture or video I saw at the time. Speculation was that he wanted to put hide it to avoid a weapons charge so he ran to throw it in the car at the same time the police were chasing/shooting him. The only possible reason I can imagine for him having the knife out is he was threatening his ex. Great guy. Had the cops let him drive off with the kids they'd have been in trouble I think. From their perspective what else could he have been doing. They stopped him and got in trouble anyway.
I was watching Scott Adams yesterday and he thinks society is in the process of realizing that not only is the other guy's news fake, theirs is too. The media plays a pivotal role in getting people worked up. The manipulative, dishonest nature of news organizations is the one thing people need to really grasp.
