Make it make sense... Rittenhouse Trial and Verdict

Published: Nov. 22, 2021, 11:30 a.m.

Coming up this week, I make sense of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and verdict. While I don\u2019t actively try to court controversy on the podcast, I feel like there has been a huge amount of disinformation surrounding this trial. There are conversations that need to be had. Learnings to be heeded. But we \u2013 as a nation \u2013 are never going to find some kind of peace if we are transacting on the basis of falsehoods.

So, today, I\u2019m going to unpack what we know happened on August 25 2020. I\u2019m going to unpack the trial and the verdict. I\u2019m going to bust a few myths that, unfortunately, have become cannon. Hint: the AR in AR15 is not an acronym for Assault Rifle. You\u2019re welcome. And I\u2019m going to spitball how I think we \u2013 as a country \u2013 can and should proceed from here if authentic amends are to be made. Opportunity abounds. We just have to seize it.
