I just can't get over the Waukesha parade massacre
My god, this was a community family event. Not a political rally, or a protest. A family event. High school kids in marching bands. High school cheerleaders waving from Christmas-themed floats. Little kids holding grandpa's hand to see Santa and his elves. Street vendors selling hot coffee and doughnuts.
What was that jerk thinking? Whatever he was fleeing could not possibly have been as bad as what he did. I just shake my head in disbelief at the recklessness and indifference to the harm, pain, and suffering that he inflicted. Where did such a person grow up? Was he raised in a barn without any moral instruction about right and wrong?
Does Wisc have the death penalty? If so, this guy has a cell on death row awaiting him. And now, he has ruined his life also. I just don't get it.
Close: he was raised in a Democrat city. Now, for ALL of the reassurances that they know EXACTLY what Kyle Rittenhouse was/is thinking, what he meant to do, and what he wanted - for all their ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY about that - here is what we get concerning this case:

3. You question implies he knew about the parade and intended to cause death and injury.
A person fleeing from the police (as indicated) isn't thinking clearly about where he's going, what might be in his path and what he'll do when he encounters an obstacle.
Yes, you see, when you're fleeing from the police after committing heaven knows what crime, you can't be bothered to not slam into a bunch of crackers out in the streets having a good time, being all cracker-ish.
I mean, who among us, when we're careering through the streets after one of our violent crimes, HASN'T had to smash into someone? I can't wait for this guy's defense lawyer to point that out and to question the survivors: "Didn't you KNOW that there are people in SUVs trying to escape the police?"
Honestly, DU is a cesspool of the most craven idiots in the world, whose only goal in life is to extract a few more bucks in their government handouts. No matter the cost.
