If you're insulted by this, you deserve it. People are still harping about it and I'm going to harp back.
Pretend that the Jussie Smollett attack wasn't a hoax. Pretend that Smollett had actually been assaulted by two white, MAGA hat wearing thugs. Pretend that Smollett was carrying a gun, attempted to retreat, was cornered, and decided to shoot the two men dead before they could get to his gun.
I bet approximately zero percent of you who still think that Rittenhouse is a murderer and that he should be in prison for the rest of his life would say the same thing about Jussie Smollett if the above hypothetical happened.
I mean, yeah, a few people who still think that Rittenhouse is guilty are people who don't have the IQ to process basic facts or whose brains just jacked off and flipped Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum's positions in the video and haven't been able to unsee what their lying eyes told them; but, I don't think that's the overwhelming majority.
Maybe some of you literally think that people simply shouldn't have the right to self-defense. Maybe you think that if you're carrying a gun you should immediately lose the right to claim self-defense, which would basically be the same thing as making it effectively illegal to defend yourself from an attacker. I don't think that's the majority of you either.
No, you just think that if a white person who is to the political Right of you is being assaulted he should just take his lumps and hope that he doesn't get beaten to death. If somebody on your political side were assaulted you would probably become a stand your ground advocate. This isn't about truth, facts, or morality for you. It's about wanting to see more of your political opponents dead or in prison.
