Needless to say, this is appalling.

See? Kyle Rittenhouse simply wanted to help. He’s a good (i.e., white) boy deep down.

I mean, we can understand Rittenhouse, right? He’s a vigilante! Like Batman! Gotham is corrupt, y’all!

Meanwhile, Jacob Blake had a — gasp! — knife. In his car!

At least one! That we know of! Clearly he was about to go on a murderous knife rampage.

Maybe they can sentence Rittenhouse to time served plus graffiti cleaning. Meanwhile, there’s gotta be something they can charge Blake with, right?

Maybe the Milwaukee Bucks should sit out all their games. Just a thought.
