The aftermath of the Rittenhouse trial exposes a bitter divide across the nation.

One day, when sufficient distance has been gained from the Current Year to permit sober reflection on our own era, the recent past will no doubt be seen as a watershed in American political history. The election of Barack Obama in 2008 gave politics a religious sheen for Millennials just coming of age, and for Boomers hoping to avoid confronting the wreckage left in the wake of their rule. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 gave the new religion its devil. From Russia collusion to #MeToo, from Covington Catholic to Judge Kavanaugh, American culture and politics in the years since has been an unbroken series of witch crazes, lynch mobs, and human sacrifices (some successfully carried out, others not). The Democratic Party, the corporate press, and progressive activists openly embraced political violence as a means to achieve policy goals, block political appointments, and now, to attempt to affect court decisions.

Kenosha police reported that over half of all the people arrested in the first two nights of violence last year had come from out of town. This was not an uprising of the Kenosha underclass against the system that was oppressing them. This was an organized attack on an American city. The refrain of centrists-at-all-costs and weak-kneed Republicans has been that, innocent or not, Kyle Rittenhouse “should not have been there.” Indeed, 17-year-old boys should not have to take up arms to defend their communities from attacks incited by Democratic Party politicians and the corporate media and facilitated and carried out by organizations funded by multinational corporations.

America still stands on the precipice of a dark abyss. The fact is, we live in a society where mass political violence has been normalized, and because it’s being used as a political and ideological bludgeon to threaten and intimidate the people of this country, the authorities have abdicated their responsibility to protect life and property. The people who have created these conditions are the same baying for the blood of Kyle Rittenhouse for defending himself from three of their own. But this is still America, and it is the people—not the media, not the politicians, not the celebrities or bureaucrats or activists, but only a jury of Kyle Rittenhouse’s peers—who render final judgment on the righteousness of his actions.
Sometimes the good guys win. We celebrate the just exoneration of Kyle Rittenhouse. But we must remain aware that the Left has a longer memory than we do, and typically exacts steep costs for their occasional defeats.
Commentary:
How many terrorist/anarchists and biased journalists crossed State Lines with High Capacity Transmission Devices that were then used to disseminate deliberate False Statements in an effort to create racial strife, anxiety, looting and arson all in the name of making a buck?
Oddly a number of these "protester/rioters" are career felons intermixed with misled people like Grosskreutz and College professors/teachers that were not residents of Kenosha or Wisconsin for that matter.
Cell phones are easy for the Gov't to track, locations and records are available for weeks after an incident, so that Leo's can track participants or people of interest after-the-fact.
The FBI/STASI did exactly that to identify January 6 protestors.
Yet, they haven't gone after ANTIFA or BLM. That's because the Gov't indirectly sponsors along with Amazon, Facebook those terrorist organizations. They treat them as allies.
The Feb 4, 2021 Time magazine issue lays it out in depth.
