To his supporters, and even many of his detractors, Rittenhouse isn’t a monster. Not really. He was a young, dumb kid hyped up on the Foxification or Fox News effect of American discourse on the Black Lives Matter movement in a country that fetishes guns — for show, for sport and for killing — not a white supremacist, like, say Dylann Roof. Not really. He wore no hoods and didn’t wrap himself in the Confederate flag. He’s a patriot who tried to bring calm to chaos because, as Fox News prime-time host Tucker Carlson told us at the time of the shooting, the adults around him wouldn’t “maintain order.” He was so nonviolent that police officers greeted him and those like him like fellow guardians of the community before he killed anyone.

Rittenhouse’s story is a microcosm of what America is facing, a perilous journey toward becoming something the world has never known: a fully functioning multiracial, multiethnic democracy emerging from the blood of slaves, the genocide of Native Americans and the notion that all men are created equal. No matter what you’ve heard or what you’ve been told, we aren’t there yet. We weren’t there on July 4, 1776. We weren’t there in 1865 in the smoke, ashes and shadow of the Civil War, and not even in the wake of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act a half-century ago.

MSNBC shows what’s wrong with America’s fake media 24 hours a day 7 days a week 🤪
Isaac Bailey and his ilk is what is wrong with America. They foment hatred for their own writing pleasure. If we did nothing more than get rid of MSNBC and CNN, the world would be a much better place.
Kyle responded to the needs of the people who were being left to defend themselves, and that's exactly what he did. He is not some "dumb kid". He is a young man with courage and honor in his heart, who had not had much experience in fighting mob forces, yet conducted himself in the most exemplary way. He did not shoot at anyone who was not a threat, and he immediately attempted to turn himself in.
And why do you suppose the "world" has never known such a thing?
I assume the author is black because of his misspelled given name.
Leave it to MSNBC to post such utter crap. Here we have a kid. Still in his teens. Who has every right to be scared and in fear for his life. I read an article this morning how LeBron James was mocking Rittenhouse for crying.
Seriously. A grown man who cries after losing a basketball game was mocking this young kid who is facing prison simply for defending his life.
just another moronic Affirmative Action blowhard who in a just world would be shining shoes for a living.
This article is just a load of crap.
Another clear evidence that the media is the enemy of the people.
“Issac Bailey is so smart at writing in Davidson College, former columnist, and author in United States. He write a column for The Sun News in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.[1] He wrote a book about growing up with a brother [2] and a book of essays Why Didn’t We Riot? A Black Man in Trumpland.”

Well, if he ever watched Tucker he probably used his fauxnoose decoder ring to decipher the orders from “above” to go on a shooting spree. Right? Grrrrrrrr! The credibility factor for these assclowns is below zero.
The USSR had a functioning, multi-ethnic, multi-racial society; the only thing that was missing was the democracy part!
Really, and MSNBC doesn't paint the news with its agenda brush? Pot...kettle...black...
BINGO!
Functioning? No.
You’re so far in the weeds you may never find your way back.
If I had a son, I would LOVE to have one like Kyle!! HE RUNS TOWARD THE FIRE!!!
Just stupid nonsense. And this person was paid to write this garbage.
So, exactly how long am I supposed to work to purchase a gallon of gas? And, exactly how much of my work day am I supposed to donate to those who refuse to work?
Why post this dung?
