It really doesn't. What matters is what draws the kid to these places. And his classmates give a strong picture of what motivated him.
The story of Kyle Rittenhouse is an American tragedy. He's just another outcast teen looking for a tribe he can be accepted in. The passion of teens is so malleable, the need to be a part of something bigger than themselves, accepted within a community, respected and validated by elders. It's the same way people have always exploited those vulnerable years to create passionate warriors, sports teams, fraternities etc.. The influences can be positive or negative but once seduced into a culture, objective judgement is lost and the 'group' morals become the norm. ( kids to killers in the Marines for example). He's ****ed for life but his tribe thinks he's a martyr.
You can't watch those videos and credibly argue it was in cold blood. He was running away from the people he shot, and immediately tried to surrender after the incident. I don't think it's debatable that he reasonably feared for his life (one guy he shot tried to take his head off with a skateboard, another was moments away from executing him with a pistol), but that will be adjudicated. There is a false narrative that he was a white supremacist who drove from Illinois to Kenosha with the intent to hunt down peaceful protesters. This contradicts that. He was working as a lifeguard in Kenosha and was active in cleaning up the damage rioters caused.
I believe his social media posting will prove he had the motivation. Those are indications of the inner self, your examples are of the public persona that are a chosen presentation for effect. I think it's evident he saw his validation is being self-righteous. It was just a matter of who's morality he aspired to. There is a big difference in upholding laws and public service and enforcing cultural preservation ( white race dominance).
You act like a white supremacist can't help other people. This guy shot a protestor in the BACK mind you. Then called his friend to BRAG about it. The people trying to take his head off with a SKATEBOARD were trying to DISARM a gunman & a TERRORIST - one of them was a volunteer MEDIC who sacrificed his life to stop this monster.
It was stated the first victim threw a plastic bag at the perp. Umm...how does that work? Was there something in the plastic bag?
This is feeling like low-key civil war potentially sliding into full-blown civil war. Both sides have been fomenting this for years by exploiting people’s fears and anxieties while taking polar opposite stances distancing themselves from the possibility for compromise. We are entering horse shoe theory territory.
this is something you cannot possibly know. to my knowledge no one yet has described the content of that phone call
You don't think reaching into your car for a weapon to kill cops is not a thing? The numbers are higher than ever.
He looks like someone who had been constantly bullied and is itching for respect and/or payback. Jail won't be kind to him. Guess he joins the Brotherhood sooner than finding them years later while on the beat. Had a great future ahead of him....
The more that comes out, the creepier this kid is. So he looks like a young (more effeminate) Kathy Bates on top of everything else. Kids like him in the past never made it to adulthood. They were crushed by rocks and thrown off a cliff. A 17 year old right wing Trump fan, obsessed with blue lives matter and owning liberals. Goes to another state to defend property (that isn’t his) from a mob. Has a weird police fetish and is shaped like an ugly woman. He just reeks of social outcast and loser.
People have this idea that you just join the brotherhood if you are white in prison. They decide if you join and 90% of the time they just force you to *** other guys for cigarettes to give to the leaders or do various unappealing jobs.
I am telling you that the Aryan Brotherhood dislikes effeminate white guys more than Mexicans or blacks. Contrary to what popular culture says, The Brand on occasion will do business and meet with other race prison gangs. Young and weak whites are called chum. The AB literally turn them into property.
