Either he was running from the cops or he wasn't. How hard is it to find that one out? If the police say they weren't chasing him, then the killings were an act of terrorism.

Not according to the police chief.

A white kid shoots 3 white men in self-defense and is declared a racist.

A black man intentionally runs down 50 white people but is not a racist.

This takes some mighty convoluted thinking Leftys!

Yes, it's the correct legal terms:
The state of Pennsylvania uses the term, “ethnic intimidation” rather than “hate crime.” The term hate crime is a creation of the media and activist groups, not lawmakers.

I'll remember that the next time an "ethnic intimidation" in PA makes the national news.

Why are you defending this POS?
How do you reach the conclusion I'm defending him just because I don't agree with you on his motive?

What he did was a crime and a horrible one at that. I expect he will be going to prison for life. If police can find evidence that allows the charging of a hate crime then by all means they should charge him. Not sure what the practical results of that are if anything.

I don't think racist posts on social media will prove it. Otherwise, there are a lot of future killers among us.

I feel certain he thought police were pursuing him or would be. My guess is he knew the person he was in a dispute with had called them.

There is no indication he planned to go out with a bang. He fled the scene, ditched the car and was on the run or hiding out. I dont think police have explained exactly where they caught him.

Then why the hell do conservatives insist that Biden called Rittenhouse a white supremacist?

I'm not seeing where people are saying he's not a racist. According to his Twitter profile, that's hard to argue.

The police said he was fleeing a scene. That’s it. He wasn’t targeting white people. You do realize there’s a lot of Latinos in Waukesha.

The comments on here make me think the U.S. has about 5 more years before we collapse. Everything is reaching way too hard to make it political and to divide people.
He had just departed the scene of another crime he committed but police were not in pursuit. How in the hell do you know "He wasn't targeting white people"?

They were not chasing him because they never got to respond to the 911 call received about the domestic incident possibly involving a knife.

He fled that scene and was so far ahead of them he crashed the parade and they were diverted to the crime scene at the parade.

Doesn't mean he didn't THINK they were or would soon be chasing him based on him fleeing from whatever he had been involved in.

You are not just disagreeing with leftys lol.

And, I am guessing not every leftist in the country said Rittenhouse was a racist, or followed his trial or even cared.

You are assuming way too much.
