Kyle Rittenhouse didn't commit any crimes. Brock Turner received public vitriol commensurate with his crimes; I think a better comparison would be with the hockey player who pushed an empty wheelchair down some stairs. It's indefensible but at the end of the day not the kind of thing that warrants an Internet Week of Hate. Certainly less bad than hundreds of acts of grand theft auto.

I'm sorry, but what? Brock Turner was convicted of sexual assault.

He served 3 months, and likely gave someone else a lifetime of hurt because he couldn't control his sexual urges to the point he was willing to have sex with an unconscious person.

He served 3 months. after being rich enough to post bail and hire decent lawyers.

But somehow, he doesn't deserve hate and this is less bad than grand theft auto?

This became national news and the judge involved was recalled:

We'll all know Brock Turner's name and his crime for the rest of our lives. I believe this is an exception that proves the rule.

I said that Brock Turner got the amount of hate he deserved; I was talking about the guy who pushed an empty wheelchair down the stairs.

Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted by a Jury, something very different.

The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was toothless primarily because of its Jury trial clause, which guaranteed that no one violating civil rights would ever be convicted by a jury of their white peers.

It's not "self defense" when you arm yourself and drive yourself intentionally into an are trying to create and/or find trouble.

This is a defamatory lie in contravention of all evidence, such as the multiple camera angles which captured the attacks on Kyle and subsequent self-defense shooting, as well his own statements and actions prior to the event and those of eyewitnesses. All of this was exhaustively examined at trial. Your ignorance of the facts is no excuse for defamation.
