Welcome Back Gen Z! It's Kayla here with your daily or weekly dose of reality. This week we are covering the Kyle Rittenhouse case, with the 17 year old male who killed 2 people and injured another. As he faces trial, protestors from outside of the court house call Rittenhouse a "murderer". Rittenhouse was known for his support in the Blue Lives Matter Movement and his passion for joining the police force. Now he is known as the 17 year old male that is facing 2 counts of homicide. In an interview Rittenhouse was seen saying that he was at the protest to "protect the business". Hours later Rittenhouse was seen on video opening fire on the crowd killing 2 and injuring another. He then proceeds to get up and walk to the police officers with his hands raised and goes home. The officers later arrested him at his home. How is it that a white kid who just killed 2 people can surrender peacefully and go home and 12 year old Tamir Rice can't play with a toy gun at the park without getting gun down in 3 seconds? It's a double standard. This isn't a game. You can't just plan one day to drive 30 minutes from you home to a protest and play cop to "protect" an area you're not even from. The very person who sought to "protect" an area from dangerous personas, was the danger that the people needed to be protected from. Rise on Elements.
