The Many Hypocrisies of Kyle Rittenhouse
by Supermodelsonya
The hypocrisy is so thick, you can cut it with a knife.
Let’s travel all the way back in time, to a mythical place. It’s called Georgia and it’s May of 2020. Long time ago, right?
We learned there was a man named Ahmaud Arbery who was taking a jog through a neighborhood. Two men, Travis and Greg McMichael hopped in their pickup truck along and decided to chase him, believing him to be the cause of a string of burglaries in the neighborhood.
With the help of another man, William Roddie Bryant who taped the altercation, he found himself soon cornered. When the event was over, Ahmaud Arbery was on the ground dead, with a bullets in his chest and wrist.
We won’t talk about how “Roddie” pretended he had no part in the chase and how he got on CNN and said, “Black Lives Matter” when it was clear that wasn’t even close to what he practiced. Yes, we won’t discuss that.
Soon, public opinion exploded online.
We, as a nation, was suddenly split between those who saw this for what it was; a black man being shot and killed for simply doing every day activities. For being in a place that he supposedly didn’t belong.
