Kyle Rittenhouse just turned 18. He has his entire life ahead of him. He is a young man inexperienced in the world. This young man wanted to make a difference; his social surroundings led him to Kenosha, Wisconsin. He saw what was going on in Kenosha on targeted social media videos and “news sources.”
Kyle saw that local businesses were getting destroyed by disgruntled people fed up with the world and its unfairness. These unhappy people also got their information from social media videos and “news sources.”
In hindsight, it is essential to determine how misinformation and fake news sources played into public outrage and a dangerous situation.
The protest movement has been going on all over America for a while now. Marginalized groups are demanding equality in police shootings across race lines which has sparked many different riots, from coast-to-coast, including the deadly events that took place near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This outcry is, on the surface, noble, but in many cases, the result is idiotic. The events are leading to tragedy and more disaster and division than the actual police shooting event. This divide is leading to nasty back and fowath between full grown adults.
The Kyle Rittenhouse Case has overshadowed the Jacob Blake Police shooting. Instead of a peaceful call for change, we are caught up in a court case about the aftermath of a riot.
The prosecution attorney in the Rittenhouse case’s main argument is, “why did you even come out.” He is not wrong; why did anyone come out into a dangerous situation? The debate about being traveling to a dangerous and provocative place to get harassed by the opposition is still ongoing.
However, the short answer is they are all idiots. But why did they act like idiots is a question? The real answer must be read between the lines. Kyle Rittenhouse is not the only one who was influenced to go to Kenosha, Wisconsin. Everyone who has been involved with these riots has good intentions. There is no debate these people think they are helping or helping bring change.
This is why our country is sick. People start with good intensions and then we see this:
What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court. 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/LKwYssIUmD

But who knows, maybe Kyle Rittenhouse went out to Kenosha with the intent to kill. Did rioters intend to burn down businesses?
These comments are just the tip of the iceberg. The toxicity and divide in the comments on any social platform is wild.
