I'm convinced that very few people give a shit about the particulars and would come to the exact same conclusion about the cases if Rittenhouse was a BLM supporter and the people he shot were Trump enthusiasts who didn't like BLM. This is just another proxy fight in the war of Left versus Right.
I was personally hoping for a conviction, but some of the left-leaning folks I follow on Facebook are just so sad and outraged about this and, more importantly, they want to make sure everyone knows how sad and outraged they are. Meanwhile, 1,200 Americans died of COVID yesterday. It's hard for me to get too tearful about two deaths in Kenosha last year. It's hard for me to shake the sense that those two deaths are important primarily because they provide an opportunity to hate on political opponents.
Accurate reading. I do think people were also curious if facts still matter.
