1. I don't quite get what you're saying here.

Are you saying Rittenhouse took matters into his own hands because he didn't see the justice he wanted?

as their new Aryan poster boy, didn't think the deaths were pay back for what they see is anarchy by socialists (BLM and antifa).

You don't think that 1-6 wasn't a tit for tat response to the BLM protests, as far as these nutjobs are concerned?

People angered by the Rittenhouse verdict and other instances will eventually show a reaction.
But it's ironic that this justification of violence against innocent bystanders is just as sick and wrong.

Also our history is full of ugly fucked up things . None of it justifies acting out in horrific and deadly ways .

11. The breakdown of justice is the downfall of a society.

What it breaks into is anybody's guess?

But, I doubt that it will be pretty.

In my opinion, the DOJ must continue to prosecute at a steady pace, and pick off these criminal associates one at a time, until the threat has diminished and people's faith in justice has returned.

This is absolutely necessary if we are to keep a democracy.

 
12. There were many wrongs

Police opening fire during a charged time lit the wick. The community reacting in a way that offered some an opportunity for destruction. The political leaders and antagonists who either did little to stop it or fanned the emotions of both sides. All the way to the pleas for protection from armed "militias", once the police were deemed ineffective or incendiary.

Media, both social and traditional, were no help either. A video is a strong piece of evidence and only one of many which must be taken into account before one can determine truth.

Emotion rules reason and is much easier to manipulate. Be cautious, when information activates emotions, it may be propaganda and meant to inflame rather than inform.
