The Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha
-
Yeah but what about all those kangaroo court indictments and trials of left-leaning people who run afoul of right-leaning pop cultural outrage, but who wouldn't have been indicted on weight of evidence alone?
Both sides are equal, I read it here, so there must be examples.

Seriously? Stay safe George, Kluurs, and any other forum member in the general area.

I'm starting to think that maybe lefties use the race narrative to attract eyeballs and to generate outrage to consolidate votes.
I'm an eternal optimist and I try to see the positive side of every situation, but I can't help but feel that this is what is going on.

Want to teach something "critical" in public school? Teach critical thinking. Teach how to spot bias or loaded reporting. Teach students to look for what isn't said or written, as much as what is.
The Founders knew it took an educated populace to successfully make a republic. Educate the young minds of mush with what they need to know, instead of the flavor of the moment.

Indeed. if your side is right, they will see that. If you have to indoctrinate them you aren't right.

I just listened to Andy McCarthy's podcast on this.
There's one interesting comment: The guy who survived, Grosskreutz, pointed a handgun at Rittenhouse (which he denies on TV but admits under oath). His permit for such weapon was expired and therefore it was illegal.
McCarthy asks (rhetorically, I assume): Why isn't the state prosecuting him for a gun crime?

This was expunged. But at the time of the shooting, I think he was still a felon, which definitely makes the gun illegal.

Not to worry whether this entirely plausible thing might be true. not to worry that a little reflection would lead any reasonable person to conclude that retribution is on the mind of every one of those jurors, regardless of how much weight they try to give it. You are a centrist, and do not have to own anything having to do with either political side.
