@jenandjanstwits THREAD: SO WHATS GOIN ON WITH RITTENHOUSE:
I don't subscribe to idea that culture NORMS FOLKS OUT OF a conscience, empathy and replaces it with sadism and the excited glee that seems to accompany the majority of White men at the prospect of shooting other human beings.

@jenandjanstwits We all know YOU DONT LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, AND/OR HURT FOLKS PERIOD. Doesn't take much education or intelligence to understand these basic human boundaries. That said note Rittenhouse took a gun hoping TO SHOOT TARGETED OTHERS in order to earn his White Man Cred (more

@jenandjanstwits about this further down). That's not Cultural norming, that's deepseeded inadequacy and insecurity that's hard wired, and the idea of resolving it behind killing other human beings is sick sick sick from the start. That tendency is not something that just happens to you via

@jenandjanstwits ENVIORNMENTAL exposure or wierd White man victimhood NARRATIVES otherwise THE REAL VICTIMS OF WHITE SUPREMACY (ie., Af-Am/POC)who actually have cause, would act in those same ways AND FOLKS IN THOSE GROUPS DO NOT.

@jenandjanstwits CREATE OR PURPOSELY TWIST HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES TO GIVE HIM THE OPPY TO SHOOT "TARGETED OTHERS" AND THEN SAY IT WAS SELF DEFENSE. That's narcissistic grandiosity combined with a weakened conscience, lack of empathy and I don't think the AMORALITY of that whole

@jenandjanstwits think Rittenhouse's narcissistic GRANDIOSITY drives the psychopathic behavior train here as he needs the "boost" of the larger group of White men backing, validating and accepting him to fully engage his psychopathic behaviors.
Historically this is no different than American

@jenandjanstwits White men have always done when engaging in corrupt criminal nefarious rapacious murderous behaviors; in other words WM PACK UP IN GROUPS TO CARRY OUT CRIMINAL WS MURDEROUS BEHAVIORS in both overt and covert ways!
