  • I think a big part is that if you accept for arguments sake the fundamental legal premises and rules of a court trial in the Rittenhouse case, you can arrive at a conclusion that within that premise and those laws the acquittal makes sense. Basically that the injustice is enshrined in the bones of the system rather than a malicious and arbitrary dismissal of what’s supposed to happen.

    Meanwhile there just is not a reasonable argument that a trained soldier would not be aware that extended application of a chokehold past unconsciousness would certainly be lethal, and that he continued past the point where average bystanders could tell that he was murdering Jordan Neely.

    Theres no legal argument that makes sense in this scenario, anyone who accepts it are accepting it outside of the law.

    Support for Daniel Penny is all but overtly just simple support for lynching, while Rittenhouse you can very torturously make a case involving other American brainworms like the right to self defense and the idea that a dumb fascist toddler like Rittenhouse earnestly feared for his life.
