.ZeeshanAleem: The Rittenhouse verdict wasn't a referendum on racial justice in America. The case was both smaller and bigger that that.
A demonstrator ran up behind Rittenhouse and smacked him in the head. When Rittenhouse tripped and fell, another man executed a flying kick; Rittenhouse fired twice, from the ground, and missed. Another demonstrator whacked him in the neck with the edge of a skateboard and tried to grab his rifle; Rittenhouse shot him in the heart. A third demonstrator approached with a handgun; Rittenhouse shot him in the arm, nearly blowing it off.
Given the complexity and fast-moving nature of the encounters and the high burden of convicting Rittenhouse under Wisconsin law, I'd argue that the decision might be distasteful but isn't unreasonable; at the very least it's not right to read it as a stamp of approval of Rittenhouse's behavior. But there's nothing incompatible between believing Rittenhouse's acquittal made sense given the legal constraintsbelieving that Rittenhouse behaved inappropriately and represents nefarious aspects of our culture.Rittenhouse’s foremost error was to take a gun to the protest. Being 17 at the time, he was not old enough to buy one , and he was not mature enough to wield one. But he took one anyway, and that misjudgment resulted in loss of life that otherwise would never have happened.
