So we’re all clear what’s going on here, yea? pic.twitter.com/6khlkOhsny— Mrs. McG (@mrsmcglover) August 27, 2020
I can’t recall any pairing of events as closely-comparable-yet-starkly-different:
-Black man is shot in the back 7 times, while getting in car w his kids;
-White youth carrying AR-15 walks away, after killing people.
By the same police force, in the same town, in the same week.— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) August 26, 2020
Don’t see a lot of conservative commentators clamoring about how murderer Kyle Rittenhouse is a high school dropout, was possessing military-grade firearms illegally. Can’t imagine why not since they always let us know about slain black men’s history of speeding tickets. Strange!— Lucy Caldwell (@lucymcaldwell) August 27, 2020
Don’t ask why radicalized white teenage boys like Dylan Roof or Kyle Rittenhouse are the most dangerous people in America. The reason is right in front of you. pic.twitter.com/SEyTDyXlgW— Frederick Joseph (@FredTJoseph) August 27, 2020
