rittenhouse a white supremacist before any investigation was done. these types of reactions often do come back to haunt politicians who are rushing to join the mob and calling for one result or another. from the beginning, there was a lot about the allegation that didn't make sense. i am from chicago and i think this was the first time anyone suggested anyone saying this was maga country. putting that aside, it was odd from beginning to end the details. ultimately these two individuals came forward, the videotapes in the stores, and despite the evidence he wasn't required to take responsibility when those initial charges were dropped. he still doesn't. that leads to this really horrible aspect of the case. if someone is accused of capitalizing on our racial division, to sort of monetize rage? that makes this more than your typical false police report case. this was an injury to us all if he indeed made this up.
