Where did I ever excuse violence?
Understanding the reasons that went into it does not condone why it happened. Looking into the situations that lead to violence is not condoning violence. Looking to find solutions so the problems don't repeat isn't condoning violence. Nor does donating to a fund to bail out those arrested for PROTESTING not rioting as many were in Minneapolis, also does not condone violence. Most of those cases were actually dismissed because they didn't have enough evidence to prosecute them for anything else.
Kyle Rittenhouse was a kid looking for trouble. You blow this off but he isn't a hero. He used a weapon he wasn't legally allowed to carry into a volatile situation in a community where he didn't live. You call it self-defense and that is what the jury decided. Maybe that is the legal conclusion. But, 2 people are dead and 1 permanently disabled because he put himself into a situation where he had no business being with a weapon he had no business using and lacked the proper training to understand when to use it. He shouldn't be celebrated nor is a victim both of which he has become to the right wing. He's an example of how bad things can get when you put yourself into a bad situation and that includes the people who died that night. They also made bad decisions.
Every right-wing person I know makes excuses for Jan 6. We on the left understand why it happened just like we understand why the riots of 2020 happened and we do understand that the daylight peaceful protests turned into riots at night On Jan 6, A large group of people believed the lies being told to them by a man who was desperate to maintain power. Violence and lawbreaking from many ensued out of an otherwise peaceful "rally" But, unlike the left who at least acknowledges the violence, most right-wingers, including politicians, refuse to even admit Jan 6 got violent and out of control....except of course other than that thug cop who murdered poor Ashli Babbit for doing nothing at all
