Litmus test
Robbie said the Kyle Rittenhouse episode would be a litmus test, it sure was! KR, in his opinion, went to Kenosha purely to start trouble. Didn’t he hear him calling out asking if anyone needed a medic? From the very beginning I saw a video of him explaining his aim to help people. (I don’t remember the details, my impression was that he was incredibly altruistic.) There are pictures of him cleaning graffiti. He is seen with a medical kit and a fire extinguisher. So there are the receipts to back up the opposite of Robbie’s claim that he wanted to start trouble. Then a very dark notion that Robbie lays out about cops is just too twisted: a significant number of cops harbor a murder fantasy! Yeah, there are some very sick people out there; no doubt. But to paint that picture about police is just not helpful, it’s really counterproductive. Police background checks are extremely intensive, nowadays they look really hard to weed out creeps, the last thing a police force wants is bad press. The vast majority of applicants don’t pass the background check, and for what most people would consider really small issues. So this podcast seems to a good example of how distorted our viewpoints can be. Maybe my viewpoint is also whacked out. I hope not, because I have a much brighter view of at least these two topics than Robbie does, and try to withhold judgment, especially if is so negative.
