Read the below and tell me you aren't behind Rittenhouse even more now. Thank God he got acquitted. Fuck everyone who wanted to, or tried to, ruin this kids life.
[FONT="]"The odds were stacked against Rittenhouse from the start. Kyle comes from a working-class background in a rust belt town, the auto manufacturing jobs long since shipped overseas. His dad was an alcoholic, once charged with domestic battery for punching his mom in the stomach when he was four-years-old. She and the kids lived in a shelter, twice. His parents eventually split up and his mom became a certified nursing assistant. She still struggled financially, her and the kids were repeatedly evicted. Here was a boy who had the odds stacked against him. Our system is hard on kids like this. He had every excuse to fail, to become just another casualty of America’s decline. And yet he chose a different path. In 9th grade, he enrolled in a program for kids in “challenging life situations” put on by the local police department. In 10th grade, his family was evicted again, his mother was hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding, and his sister was also hospitalized after attempting suicide via an overdose of over-the-counter pain relievers. Kyle got a job as a fry cook and a janitor, taking his high school classes online to do so. He also got his lifeguard certification and got a part-time job at the local YMCA. He planned to become a paramedic or police officer after graduation. Faced with a situation that would lead most to become overwhelmed with despair, he persisted. This is the boy they wanted to lock away in a cage and throw away the key. They still do."
