This is how the DA describes the first shooting:

Richard McGinniss, identified by police as a reporter, said he was interviewing Rittenhouse at the time when Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, of Kenosha, confronted Rittenhouse, leading to a chase, the complaint says.
According to the complaint, an eyewitness video showed Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse and throwing what was ultimately determined to be a plastic bag at him.
A second eyewitness video shows Rosenbaum close in on Rittenhouse as the two ran through the parking lot, the complaint says

We can debate if what is described here is murder or self-defense but you completely mischaracterize the boy as driving up to shoot protestors is an outright lie.
@jheil you need to retract what you said.

I’ve also been noticing that when police in many big cities ask the public to locate a suspect, if there is no video or picture, they often refrain from mentioning race or any physical characteristic, just their gender and clothing.
“We need the public’s help to find a man in a black sweatshirt”
“Police said Tellez was attacked by two people around 6:30 p.m. in the 3500 block of West 58th Street. Police have not released descriptions of the suspects, saying only that they were males. A motive was unknown.”

Right kids that can’t read at grade level should be exposed to the opportunity to read more complex topics because why not?

Sometimes I think people just say things to be saying them.
A principal at a PG high school did this once. Everyone should take AP classes because anyone can do it and if they were simply exposed they would pass!

“Each year, Crossland produces roughly 300 graduates. In 1999, seven AP tests were given at the school. A decade later, there were almost 700.

“Ridiculous, isn’t it?” Thomas laughs.”

Bystanders began yelling at Reardon, saying he didn't have to use his gun.

"She had a knife. She just went at her," Reardon says.

"She's a f***ing kid, man! Damn, are you stupid?" a man standing nearby replies.
A glimpse into a sick culture. If they’re just kids why didn’t this man or other bystanders stop them?
Also can’t help but contrast the differences in reaction in this shooting and the case in SC where the white guy berates the black kid for harassing neighbors.

Arguments that anti-police, pro-BLM Twitter made this month:

- they’re only teenage girls they didn’t mean to kill the Uber driver while car jacking him.

- the police officer should not have shot a teenage girl motioning to attack another teenage girl with a knife.

Always nice to see your priors confirmed: nytimes.com/2021/03/24/bri…
“When Covid cases were rising in the U.S., the news coverage emphasized the increase. When cases were falling, the coverage instead focused on those places where cases were rising. And when vaccine research began showing positive results, the coverage downplayed it,...”
The coverage by U.S. publications with a national audience has been much more negative than coverage by any other source that the researchers analyzed, including scientific journals, major international publications and regional U.S. media.

Shot: But census data shows that since the mid-1980s, more than half of all blacks who moved to Minnesota have had incomes below the federal poverty line. By contrast, barely 10% of blacks moving to Atlanta during that period were poor.

Chaser: Across a whole host of measures — unemployment rates, wages, incarceration rates, test scores, homeownership rates — the gaps between white Minnesotans and Black Minnesotans are among the widest in the country.

Ironically due to their progressivism Minnesota imported an intractable racial inequality issue that is now coming to a head.
