The Yahoos of Kenosha
Making Sense by Michael Reagan
On Thursday afternoon, as the country was still awaiting the decision on the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial, the yahoos outside the courthouse in Kenosha were ready to riot.
Guilty, not guilty, hung jury or mistrial – it won't matter to them what the verdict will be on the homicide charges against Rittenhouse.
The yahoos are going to make trouble in the streets whether they are enraged by the jury’s decision or pleased by it.
They’ve been taking photos of the jurors and threatening them to vote the “right” way – which means not acquitting Rittenhouse on grounds of self-defense. They’ve also been sending death threats to the judge.
The 500 members of Wisconsin’s National Guard that have been called in to handle the expected post-verdict violence will probably keep the yahoos from burning down what’s left of Kenosha.
But as we know, the National Guard has arrived a year and a half too late. The city of 100,000 will probably never recover.
Kenosha's fate is to live on as the symbol of what happens to a town when spineless politicians and the deplorable liberal media allow, encourage and justify violent and destructive protests in the name of social justice.
The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse is the latest proof of how hopelessly the country is split between Republicans and Democrats on almost every issue.
Trump, the 2020 election, the so-called “insurrection” of Jan. 6, immigration policy, critical race theory in schools ….
