Running racism in America thread

Apparently I'm a pedophile apologist because, I think Rittenhouse's victims' criminal records are irrelevant to the crime.

I guess I mistakenly believe that the guy did his time and didn't deserve to be gunned down in the street.

 

Life is about to get very unpleasant for a Georgia district attorney. Inmates down the road have long memories, especially if this dude trumped up charges against them. He'd better learn to sleep with one eye open.

Yes.

Running the 'he was no angel' play is about what you'd expect from the usual dimwit shitposters.

 

If someone wants to say Rosenbaum should have done more time, or gotten life without parole, I'd listen to them. To say that after he had done is time, he still deserves to be killed, well, they lost me on that.

 

Who said this? That he deserved to die for crimes he'd already served time for?

 

I mean ... come on.

 

5 women, 7 men, (1 of them a POC).

 

I'm guessing convicted on the weapons charges, acquitted on the killings.

 

It's become kind of a trope on the hard Right.

Tucker Carlson breaks down Kyle Rittenhouse testimony: he already won

We saw an amazing trial today as we told you at the open. When Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand, he described the moment that a convicted pedophile, a child rapist -- no exaggeration, you can read it online -- Joseph Rosenbaum was his name. Rosenbaum threatened to kill him. Watch.

A convicted child rapist called Joseph Rosenbaum was released from a mental hospital and then went directly to join the mob that was burning downtown Kenosha. Once he got to the riot, Rosenbaum saw Kyle Rittenhouse and immediately threatened to kill him. Rosenbaum then chased Rittenhouse and tried to pull the gun from his hands, when he did that Kyle Rittenhouse shot him.

CARLSON: I hope so. Yes, the convicted child monster who is out of the mental hospital. That's who they're defending.

So Joseph Rosenbaum died as he had lived, trying to touch an unwilling minor.

 

Yes, Twitter randos, but there are lots of them.
