(If you are out of the loop, that’s okay! Kyle Rittenhouse is a chud kid who is on trial for murdering two protesters and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the aftermath of protests over a police shooting that paralyzed Jacob Blake, a black man. There is a lot of news about the case circling around right now because the trial is ongoing.)

All three of his victims were white though
You know, the person you replied to was wrong about their race, but they're still correct in spirit. Every single Twitter argument I've read devolves into the fascist saying it was OK for KR to fire into a crowd because he happened to kill people with a criminal record. The idea being that because of their pasts, KR was still the good guy. Undoubtedly if the victims had been POC then the fascists wouldn't even feel the need to bring up any records, the victims' skin color would already prove that KR was the good guy with a gun.
Nah the news interogates POC's past all the time when things like this happen. Every time a kid gets shot by the police they tear his past apart to demonize him.

They were race traitors so they don't count.
Also, one was a convicted pedophile and the other two had criminal records, which makes it even easier to other them.
