Kenosha, Wisconsin at the Scene of No Crime
November 11, 2024 8:24pm
As I wrote in 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse committed no crime in Kenosha. Yet Leftist prosecutors charged him with five felonies; not to seek justice, but to appease the violent mob.
Yet even that did not satisfy the mob. So-called "journalists" called him a murderer. Big Tech deleted posts that explained why Kyle's actions were both necessary and lawful. Twitter banned his defense attorney from posting true facts about the case. GoFundMe cancelled the online campaign to raise funds to pay for his legal defense. A police officer in Virginia was fired when his superiors learned he had donated to Kyle's defense fund. Collectively, those actions comprised a disgusting, all hands attack on an innocent man. And on American values.
It is important to note that Big Tech's censorship was one-sided. Anyone could post anything they wanted about Kyle Rittenhouse as long as it fit the Left's narrative that he was guilty as sin. Twitter's refusal to allow Kyle's defense attorney to correct the lies was a disgraceful abuse of that platform's power and influence. GoFundMe said they terminated the fundraiser because their Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime. What? Only non-violent criminals deserve the presumption of innocence and a right to counsel??? And while firing the policeman was an egregious violation of the officer's First Amendment Rights, it's actually worse because the officer's identity only came to be known after an illegal data breach.
On November 19, 2021, I watched the Rittenhouse verdicts being read live on TV. Within a minute, I posted ten words on my Facebook page. Those words were "NOT GUILTY! NOT GUILTY! NOT GUILTY! NOT GUILTY! NOT GUILTY!" (one for each of the five verdicts). Less than five minutes later, Facebook removed my post and notified me that I was suspended from the platform for 30 days.
The Kyle Rittenhouse case is a very important chapter in American history - not just because it highlighted the lawful right to justified self defense, but because it exposed the Left's dangerous monopoly on conversations of national importance.
I was in Kenosha yesterday, so I sought out the locations of the self defense shootings that made headlines around the world. The photos I took are above.
