No. Kyle Rittenhouse murdered two people last night in Kenosha, Wisconsin. People. Protesting is a thing that they happened to be doing; it does not define them.

It reduces them to a dismissible status: they become just agitators, rabble-rousers, undesirable elements that perhaps deserved to be shot, not human beings https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3">
US citizens exercising their constitutional rights. Words matter. These were people. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 4" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 4">
