I've had no commentary on the Rittenhouse trial thus far b/c honestly who cares, but lemme tell you one thing that bugs me about the coverage: "travelled three counties to Kenosha!" Leave aside the fact his family lived there; do you know how close Antioch, IL & Kenosha, WI are?
I guess people who don't know this part of the midwest and see two different states think "ah, violence tourism!" Folks, it would take me longer (like, nearly twice as long) to get from where I am in downtown Chicago to O'Hare than it would to drive from Antioch to Kenosha.
I regret the typo in the above tweet. I meant to write "folx," not "folks."
Saying "I crossed state lines from Antioch to Kenosha!" is the DC-area equivalent of saying "I crossed state lines from Rockville to Rosslyn! Except it would actually take you longer to get from Rockville, MD to Rosslyn, VA.
this one will go over the heads of 99.99% of readers, but the other thing I keep thinking about when I think about the Rittenhouse trial is the phrase "you never did the Kenosha Kid."
