The bright side is that they are getting raked over the coals in the comments on X

The cases differ?

Rittenhouse went to trial and was found NOT GUILTY by a jury of his peers because he acted in self-defense.

Karmelo Anthony was found GUILTY for murder by a jury of his peers.

Who writes this shite?

Yes. Because Kyle was defending himself and Anthony murdered someone. This is why leftist news outlets can NEVER be trusted. You will deliberately lie about things caught on video.

Rittenhouse was being chased by a convicted pedophile who was screaming "I'm going to kill you." Karmelo was asked to leave a place he didn't belong.

Differ? I'll say!
My favorite part of the Rittenhouse trial was when the prosecution lawyer literally facepalmed because his star witness confirmed it was self defense

“Cases differ”

That’s literally the entire difference. Rittenhouse repeatedly tried to evade his attackers, to get away from them. Only after a prolonged period of stalking, attacks, and harassment, did Rittenhouse use his weapon to defend himself when cornered. Anthony sought out the confrontation, didn’t seek to deescalate or evade and walk away, and then committed premeditated murder. That’s the whole reason the outcomes were different. It’s pure race baiting nonsense to frame it like you did.

Great example of living in a narrative vs. living in reality.

I cannot figure out how these “publications” can remain in business, much less turn a profit.

I'm glad they are getting roasted, but they'll never be convinced it was different.

In a nutshell, Rittenhouse sought to deescalate and evade until he couldn't. Rosenbaum chased him and grabbed his rifle. Huber hit him in the head with a skateboard. Grosskreutz pointed his pistol at time and did not lower it when given the chance. Rittenhouse was in the right.

Zero parallels to what happened to Anthony.

Re: Karmelo Anthony and his defenders:

Obviously there is some blind black tribal loyalty involved, but I think there’s something else and arguably worse.

The facts seem to be this: Karmelo invaded another track team’s tent. He did this to assert dominance. When asked to leave, he issued threats: “touch me and see what happens.” After repeatedly telling him that he was not welcome, and in response to provocation, Austin Metcalf pushed him, trying to get him to comply with basic social norms. Karmelo, no doubt delighted that he had now received permission for escalation under his own code, stabbed Austin to death.

The black defenders of Karmelo believe this is how society should operate: an endless war of all against all to assert dominance, escalating when one’s assertions are rebuffed. They’re mad that the justice system got involved, because in their minds this is the proper way to conduct business: omnipresent dominance signaling, inevitably leading to violence.

They genuinely don’t understand that other people don’t operate according to those rules. And they certainly don’t understand that our rules, by drastically reducing friction and needless cost, are the very reason for the disparities in group power they complain about. We are polite internally and can thus exert greater collective power externally. A few Karmelos in the mix destroys this system.

But they don’t care that running things their way would be the end of civilization, the end of their cell phones and EBT and air conditioning, because they don’t understand it. They don’t understand anything about the modern world. They are lost here, confused. This state of affairs is not sustainable.

They should all return to their home country.

JFC... Can someone black that is even halfway sane on the DNC side of the aisle please call this bullshite race baiting out?

My hunch is Democrats see this as a way to pull some of the blacks they lost the support of over the last few years back into their fold. This is the only explanation I can see as to why some of the folks and news outlets/journalists are coming out and reporting on this shite the way they are now.

1. KA was susepended, not even supposed to be on school property. But he was.
2. He was suspended for just previously having a knife on school property.
3. He shows up to the track meet anyway, against all rules... with a fricking weapon (a knife) against all the rules and doing what got him suspended in the first place... just a complete and total disregard of authority, rules and safety.
4. He makes it a point to go into an area he wasn't authorized to be in and unnecessarily starts a confrontation with the opposing team, sitting in their tent area. Just starting shite unprovoked. Supposedly he was rummaging through their stuff. Just being an aggressive, confrontational prick for no fricking reason... when he shouldn't have been there at all... and definitely shouldn't have had a fricking knife on him, especially after already being suspended for it.
5. Then he refuses to leave when the opposing team sees him in their space. He refuses to leave after something like 12 to 15 requests/orders to leave that area and he is told he's not supposed to be there.
6. Things, rightfully so for the other team who didn't want his shady arse in their area, get heated and voices are raised.
7. KA threatens Metcalf, saying "touch me and watch what happens."
8. Metcalf yells at him and lightly shoves him telling him to get out.
9. KA immediately pulls the knife and stabs him in the chest, killing him.

It's straight up cold blooded murder. Anyone arguing anything other than that can frick off and die. And if this is the hill racist white-hating blacks and leftist white guilt commie liberals want to die on and usher in riots and civil war for, frick it. Let's just fricking do it. I'm so fricking tired of this bullshite and these people.

Progressives are evil. Past time we stop giving them grace.

This media outlet wants riots. They know their base will buy into it, so why not? This is what happens when you cater to people like VOR, Cubs, Tboy, Redstick, Decatur, etc. Pure. EVIL

There you go using facts. Math is racist and so are facts, apparently. These morons don’t want justice, they want preferential treatment.

You did not read the article.

The article does not say the outcome was due to race. The article clearly states both ended the way they should have.

The article is mainly about tribal differences and spends just as much time berating each side.

This shite is clickbait. Do better.

The Rittenhouse case actually proves the opposite of the point they are trying to make here.
