Ooops. Babbitt Was Shot Down Like The Dog That She Is Via Self Defense

I did. But I was not on the jury. All I needed to know is he travelled across state lines to kill people. Nothing more to it.

Thanks, you proved my point. Had it been a pro BLM demonstrator that killed Rittenhouse you would have taken the opposite stance.
 
What the Rittenhouse trial tells us about race and vigilantism

Over the weekend, we heard more precise and searing explanations for the sadness and frustration many Americans felt. NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson said on CBS’s “Face the Nation”:

Here you have a 17-year-old who ... traveled across state lines to protect property that was not his, for owners who did not invite him, and he put himself in harm’s way based on the rhetoric that he’s seen on social media platforms.

The issue outside the courtroom is not reasonable doubt or the right of self-defense; it is a justice system in which Black Americans do not get the same quotient of reasonable doubt and are not granted the same right of self-defense as White Americans. That so many White people claim not to understand this (or, worse, take umbrage at being informed about it) bodes ill for a diverse society. Increased social cohesion and trust are impossible so long as the majority group lacks empathy and treats every challenge to the status quo (which works so well for them) as a threat.
 
The MAGA movement’s pugilism, resentment, belligerence, suspicion, toxic masculinity and zero-sum viewpoint have saturated many churches, where lust for Christian nationalism displaces biblical values:

t isn’t simply the case that much of what is distinctive about American evangelicalism is not essential to Christianity; it is that now, in important respects, much of what is distinctive about American evangelicalism has become antithetical to authentic Christianity. What we’re dealing with — not in all cases, of course, but in far too many — is political identity and cultural anxieties, anti-intellectualism and ethnic nationalism, resentments and grievances, all dressed up as Christianity.
