It was a 4chan prank. And people fell for it.
Incorrect. The symbol was associated with alt right adjacent groups before the original 4chan post. Back when Milo Yiannopoulos and other people began posting pepe memes and maga hat pics on Twitter and other places they were always making the symbol along with Richard Spencer's "it's OK to be white" slogan. All that was in 2015-2016. The 4 Chan post wasn't until 2017.

Yeah, but also media as a whole. This entire situation shouldn't have been nearly the cluster**** it was, but everyone wanted to blow it out of proportion for Culture War BS.

Conservatives praising him as some kind of hero is just delusional though.

On a twitch stream someone brought up the cached pages for NYT where they said the victims were black. And no, im not a republican.

EDIT: Here's one of the cached pages that showed up on a google search




Those are just the ones I found quick to post here, but there were more at the time that hadn't been purged yet.
A year later and after the verdict the media & politicians are still spreading misinformation and riling people up.

Which quite frankly I think is unfair, that should be the job of people on social media and video game message boards. we live in a society

Maybe they just want people of all races to be consistently afforded this same due process. I don't think they are generally saying "Start throwing random white people in prison for life to balance the books"

Because he killed white people protesting the mistreatment of African Americans.

Are you a Republican, because I have only heard Republicans say this.

Yes one was so concerned for the mistreatment of African Americans, he was heard to scream the worst slur against African Americans over and over again.

Because there are other things he could have been guilty of? Because they are just angry due to the consistently inconsistent justice system in America?

I agree with the verdict, but the celebratory response by the right and the transparent ulterior motives are beyond disgusting

Because your racial identity is the most important thing and everything must be viewed through the lens of race. /s

You're being very disingenuous here. Black people in America are constantly reminded of and held back because of their racial identity.

It's a known fact that black americans face 20-30% longer prison sentences for the same crime when all other variables are controlled for (eg. weapon(s) used, criminal history, income).

I assumed it was Burn Loot mayonnaise.

But you can't be so nieve to believe they were out protesting. It stopped being a protest when the curfew was in place and they started burning and looting.

"You wouldn't have had to kill people in self-defense if you stayed home" is a tiny bit different than "You wouldn't have gotten raped if you looked less sexy".

I love how the "she was asking for it" defense is now disingenuously being spouted in defense of Rittenhouse by people who would unironically use the phrase "she was asking for it".

Very cool that they're doing that.

The "across state lines" thing gets me, because it always sounded like more than a short 20min drive. People brought it up in a context that always sounded like he drove for hours to a strange city.

I think Kyle should rot, but this is the kind of thing the Right accuses the Left of over every little thing, and they actually DID do that this time. Its a huge loss in every direction.

No. Across state lines matters regardless of how long it took him. Gun laws differ, hell most laws differ. He went to a community that wasnt his own. He used an illegally obtained weapon. Hours traveled was never the issue and no one was trying to make it sound that way.
