... after he already had killed a protestor. After realizing what he did, instead of calling for help or staying to justify his actions, he ran away and shot two more people in the process. Then the police let him walk away. Please contrast this with the same police shooting an unarmed black man seven times in the back at close range while getting into his car. Imagine if he had 2’ long rifle on him too. I don’t relish political discussion in this forum, and I’m sorry to dang et all if I’m furthering that. It just feels like the world is on fire and it’s hard to bite your tongue when ostensibly reasonable people fundamentally disagree with things covered on video.

First, calling them protestors is dishonest. At that point it had devolved into a violent riot. He ran away because an armed man was chasing him, and another with a skateboard. Also, he was taken into custody, not allowed to walk away. The three men who attacked Kyle were all convicted criminals as well. https://mobile.twitter.com/MichaelCoudrey/status/1298873436102565888?s=20 https://mobile.twitter.com/MichaelCoudrey/status/12988734361... The black man was not unarmed, he had a knife in his hand and a gun in his car. The police fired when he reached into the car. He already had the knife in his hand and told the police he was going to grab the other

  I believe you have multiple factual errors here; in particular, Rittenhouse shot and killed a person first, then tried to run away and killed 1 more person. Also, Jacob Blake did not have a gun. It's stil unclear whether he was holding a knife or sunglasses.

> or staying to justify his actions stay to face the angry mob of anonymous individuals (wearing face-covering hoods and masks)? Consider that RH was not running from the police, but from a mob of people shouting "Get him!" and shooting pistols. You think he still must be guilty if he chose to run from that?
