| Jacob Blake and Kyle Rittenhouse became household names in Kenosha. |
Be warned there will be graphic images.
Give you a hint.
He's an old dottering man who tries to conceal his bruises with a bad touch of makeup. An old man who was running for president since 2015. An old man who refuses to leave once his term is up. An old man who is currently our president.
Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Andre Hill and Jacob Blake became household names in the Black Lives Matter movement.
Five years ago, two men became a national news story.
There's two versions of American justice.
A Black man can be shot multiple times if he enters his vehicle after fleeing a cop.
A white man can go home, sleep, call an attorney and then turn himself into the police after shooting two individuals dead in a deliberate attempt to spark unrest.
Read my wordplay. I said, "cop and police."
White people are treated by the police.
Black people are treated by cops.
The incident where a Kenosha, Wisconsin cop shot a man who the law claims was reaching for a knife. In reality, he was not but the cop was so much in fear of his pathetic life, he shot him seven times. The man was severely injured but survived.

He ended up being partially paralyzed from this.
The cop who shot him was cleared of the shooting and is back on the streets again.
During unrest, a white teen from Illinois traveled to Kenosha to start intimidating protesters under the guise of protecting businesses. He got into a verbal and physical confrontation which to a mass shooting leaving two dead and five injured.
The teen was tried in court but ended up being acquitted. The man who was shot by the police ended up being charged for disorderly conduct. He pled guilty and was handed in house. The man to this day wants to sue the cop who shot him.
Jacob Blake was the story but Kyle Rittenhouse stole the show.
On August 23, 2020, Blake, a 29-year-old black man, was shot and seriously injured by police officer Rusten Sheskey in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Blake placed a knife in his right hand and opened the driver's door of an SUV before turning towards Sheskey, who shot Blake in the back four times and the side three times. Sheskey said that he believed he was about to be stabbed. Earlier during the encounter, Blake had been tased by two officers, but the tasers failed to disable him and he continued toward the vehicle.
Blake had a warrant for his arrest from July, based on charges of third-degree felony sexual assault and trespassing and disorderly conduct for domestic abuse in May.

Both Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis and the Kenosha Professional Police Association stated that the officers dispatched on August 23 were aware of the pending warrant for Blake before they arrived on scene; dispatch records confirm this.
The police shooting was followed by widespread unrest in Kenosha, which included rallies, marches, property damage, arson, and clashes with police. During the unrest, two men were fatally shot by an armed civilian, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse from Antioch, Illinois. Blake's name was invoked in protests in other cities as part of the Black Lives Matter movement, which resurged in the wake of several high-profile killings by police officers in 2020.
In January 2021, Kenosha County prosecutors announced that the officers involved in the shooting would not be charged, and Sheskey returned to regular police duty in April 2021.
Prosecutors also announced that Blake would not face any new charges.
After the mother of Blake's children refused to cooperate with prosecutors, they dropped the previous sexual assault and trespassing charges against Blake in exchange for him pleading guilty to two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and domestic abuse, for which he was sentenced to two years of probation.
On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, shot and killed two men and wounded another man in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The shootings occurred during the protests, riots, and civil unrest that followed the shooting of Jacob Blake. Race was a major theme in U.S. media commentary of the event, although Rittenhouse and those he shot were white. Rittenhouse was armed with an AR-15 style rifle and had joined a group of armed people in Kenosha who said that they were in Kenosha to protect businesses.
Joseph D. Rosenbaum, a 36-year-old unarmed Kenosha man, ran at Rittenhouse and grabbed the barrel of his rifle after throwing a plastic shopping bag of clothing at him. Rittenhouse shot Rosenbaum four times at close range, killing him.
A crowd formed and Rittenhouse quickly fled the scene. Anthony Huber, a 26-year-old-resident of Silver Lake, struck Rittenhouse in the head with a skateboard and attempted to wrest his rifle away; Rittenhouse shot him once, fatally. Gaige Paul Grosskreutz, a 26-year-old West Allis man who pointed a handgun at Rittenhouse, was shot by Rittenhouse once in the right arm and survived.

Kenosha County prosecutors charged Rittenhouse with two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide, two counts of reckless endangerment, one count of unlawful possession of a firearm, and one count of curfew violation. His trial lasted from November 1 to 19, 2021. Prosecutors sought to show Rittenhouse as a criminal gunman, while defense lawyers argued that Rittenhouse had acted in self-defense, asserting that his attackers were part of a mob that "attacked him in the street like an animal" and that he used force necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself.
Judge Bruce Schroeder dismissed the unlawful possession charge and the curfew violation charge for being legally unsupported, and a jury found Rittenhouse not guilty of the remaining charges.
Public sentiment of the shootings, as well as media coverage are both polarized and politicized. Multiple right-wing politicians and figures welcomed Rittenhouse's acquittal, stating that the shootings were self-defense. Former president Joe Biden called for the jury's verdict to be respected, although stated that the verdict "will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included."
Multiple Democratic politicians and figures criticized the verdict as a miscarriage of justice, saying that the acquittal was emblematic of racial double standards in the American justice system.

Gun control advocates expressed concerns that the verdict would embolden vigilantism and militia groups.
An Economist/YouGov poll conducted during the trial found that two-thirds of Republicans thought Rittenhouse should be acquitted, while three-quarters of Democrats thought he should be convicted.
Fuck this shit!
The white nationalists and conservative tokens are trying to define the situation as Jacob Blake and other Black men deserving his fate. They are saying:
- If he would of complied....
- If he would not have reached....
- If he would not have resisted....
- If he would not have done what he's done....
- If he would have not done [criminal acts]....
Then he would be ALIVE.....

| This terrorist supports Trump and Blue Lives Matter. |
I'm going out on a limb here by stating that the police chief of the city of Kenosha and sheriff of Kenosha County will be forced out of their jobs soon. I can bet you that they're going to face some serious heat for allowing a white terrorist to literally slip between their fingers.
I am not playing these games with these trolls.
And they wonder why Black Lives Matter?
A man who didn't even pose a threat was shot in the back seven fucking times. He is barely alive but paralyzed from the waist down. This motherfucking cop had seven years on the force. Didn't seem to give one fuck about the actions he's done. His excuse is "well, I feared for my life."
The other cops who were in presence didn't fire their weapons.
You can see in the video, he grabs Blake's shirt and then starts emptying his firearm.
Why there's a different standard for Black suspects?
A white terrorist can shoot a man in the head, a man in the chest, and a man in the arm at point blank range without being detained, shot dead or taken down with force. They allow him to cross state lines get a nap in and destroy evidence. Hell they even gave him an opportunity to call a lawyer.
We got a problem here!
