Promoting Division

Appleton WI

Description

Jacob Blake's uncle has organized protests at the Kenosha Courthouse while the Rittenhouse trial jury is in deliberations. For what reason? There is no racial component about this trial because a white person shot white people. You may recall that Jacob Blake refused to cooperate with police and was reaching for something under the front seat of his car when he was shot. Turns out that there was a gun in the location he was reaching for. So one cannot possibly complain about or fault the police officer of shooting the perpetrator. But this is all besides the point. But what is the point of stirring up racial divides? That is the only reason I can think of regarding protests at the courthouse. It serves no useful purpose other than to foster racial hatred and division. A highly irresponsible agitation. Shame on Blakes uncle for stirring the pot. Is that what he wants? To cause more mayhem so someone else gets shot? The only racial component in this whole mess is the protestors with a white police officer shooting a black perpetrator who was not cooperating with police. That is the racial issue with the whole thing. Not a trial of a white who shoots white. So Blakes uncle should just sit in the sidelines like everybody else and let the trial entertain them. Nothing they can say or will do will swing any influence on the outcome of the trial. Protests like this serve no constructive purpose. For that matter, street protests serve no real purpose for positive change in society as well. Shame on Blake's uncle.
