Lenient self defense laws combined with liberal open carry laws becomes legalized homicide.

#KyleRittenhouse found not guilty on all counts.
This is how the systems conspire to entrench #WhiteSupremacy.

Reminder: the system is working exactly as it is meant to. The system was always meant to protect and uphold white supremacy.

the little racist/terrorist kyle rittenhouse represents the exact kind of white-supremacist vigilante violence that we’ve seen before — with the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the murder of #TrayvonMartin.

It brought us into the streets more than 8 years ago and birthed #BlackLivesMatter.

Today is another reminder that we’re far from achieving our abolitionist future. But rest assured, we will get there. We will win. #EndWhiteSupremacy

The question, very related to the "self defense" topic: How one would deal with a "little racist/terrorist" if one abolishes police, courts and prisons? Is the envisioned a world of little segregated compounds where one must apply to get in, like in, say, "Walking Dead"?

America today: you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people, and get away with it.

That’s the message we’ve just sent to armed vigilantes across the nation. https://t.co/yiVLN2v718

In reply to This from @NellieBowles is

yeah, I know Kenosha, I knew from family members was just on the cusp of a revival,from being run down, dying and #ghetto town, to a vital middle class town. including via minorities buying homes and starting businesses. And I was reading more of the the local news while it was happening than I posted here, since the minute the shooting happened. All of it, every minute, was heartbreaking. And the outside agitators coming there and doing it made it even more heartbreaking. They couldn't handle it, they were too fragile, especially with covid complicating things! (The violence didn't start right away, it was clearly caused by outside agitation!)

Brooklyn Minnesota sounded like a very similar kind of town, lots of minorities and immigrants trying to revive a town with a bottom of the barrel tax base, because they can't afford to live in Minneapolis. That's why I said at the time of the police shooting there that I hope the Minneapolis activists and national activists just fucking leave them alone to sort it out for themselves! Don't bring your big city protesting, rioting, burning, looting and agitprop there, leave them alone to work for justice themselves, they were trying to fix it, show a little faith in them.

In reply to p.s. here's one way race can

omg a black former tv judge looking at the Rittenhouse results rationally as far as race is concerned, and you know what else, I think he's right!

The Rittenhouse verdict was a good one for Black Folk

It reiterated—& was consistent with—the special standards that apply to self-defense against a mob

It was consistent with the law & Justice

It was free from mob influence

In reply to It's a reminder on any given

on your map point, yeah, as a former Milwaukeean going south on I-94, it's like this: when you hit Racine, you've still got a long way to go, but when you see the Kenosha signs, then it's, yay, we're almost in Chicago...

The joys of parenting can be exaggerated, but we're a delusionary species anyway. Much of our task on earth is to pretend shit seem like shinola, even if we have trouble remembering what shinola is.
