RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and JELLO BIAFRIA: COMMENT ON KYLE RITTENHOUSE VERDICT

 ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES RECORD LABEL OWNER JELLO BIAFRIA and Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. based rap/rock legends RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and FISHBONE  have commented on Fridays KYLE RITTENHOUSE verdict. 

On 8/25/2020,   KYLE RITTENHOUSE, 17 at the time of his crimes, traveled from Illinois to Kenosha, Wisconsin for a BLACK LIVES MATER protest against police brutality (and the shooting of unarmed JACOB BLAKE by a cop).. Armed with an AK15 rifle, RITTENHOUSE shot at three protesters killing two and injuring a third. 

. KYLE RITTENHOUSE was found not guilty of all felony charges 11/19/2021.

 

 

FROM RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE: 

 

What defines innocence in America? Tamir Rice was executed by police for playing with a toy. Nobody was charged. Ahmaud Arbery went jogging and was murdered in broad daylight.

Kyle Rittenhouse armed himself and killed people who were fighting for racial justice. He claimed self-defense. This is the settler logic of America’s founding myth: whiteness must cast itself as the victim in order to justify its violence against those resisting its oppression. Welcome to the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.

 

 

FROM JELLO BIAFRIA (ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES RECORD LABEL OWNER): : 

 

So KYLE ROTTENHOLE WALKS!!!!

He fucking WALKED!!

I feel like I'm going to vomit.

Talk about a full-on Reverse Kangaroo Court,

right in front of everyone's face!!

Remember these guys?? (pic below)

The Sheriffs/Klansmen who helped murder those three Freedom Riders (see 'MS Burning) who weren't found for another two months, buried in an earth fill dam?

***Where SEVEN other bodies were later found??***

Has Jim Crow 2.0 already dragged us clear back to this?!?!

I smell the worst with these sick fucks who lynched Ahmoud Arbery too.

- And Charlottesville?

Longer WWJD later.

I'm just plain sick right now..

 

 FROM FISHBONE: 

 

Real talk… any time I post about racism or an unjust legal system, several bozo’s hit me up in the DM or write some stupid ass reply in the comments and talk about how what I posted isn’t about racism. I always wonder 3 things when I get/see these posts. 1. Why you even on this page? 2. You don’t even follow this page and, 3. If you do follow this page, have you ever listened to the lyrics? If you see a reply, don’t engage. There is 99% chance that person came here to start shit.. just like a coward. Gtfoh … #fuckracism

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
