Does anyone believe Rittenhouse would be released if he were Muslim & did the same thing in a diff context? For people who say “systemic racism doesn’t exist,” this is what it looks like: protection of white supremacy baked deep into our carceral systems.
Law and disorder.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 21, 2020
Why yes, actually. I do. Rittenhouse can make a strong case that he acted in self-defense. If a Muslim were arrested in similar circumstances, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) would be crying “Islamophobia,” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her colleagues would be claiming “racism” and “white supremacy,” as she does here despite the fact that Islam is not a race and there are white jihad terrorists, and the whole case would likely become the focal point of a new establishment media offensive claiming that Muslims are singularly discriminated against and harassed in the United States.
But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez knows that charges of racism and victimhood and especially race-based victimhood are the lifeblood of her movement. And so she traffics in this kind of rhetoric relentlessly, with no regard for the facts.
James says
It seems like a Muslim has better chances of getting off lightly, because they can claim victimhood as a minority, intersectionality. The authorities are scared of being called racists, Islamophobes, etc.

Which is why the Pakistani child rape gangs flourished in the U.K. for about 15 years.
andrew mckendrick says
And still continue to do so!
LB says
Just 15 years?? No. Try 40. Some of the first victims were in the 80’s.
owensgate says
Seriously, AOC? If he were a moslem, not only would he be released, he wouldn’t even have been arrested.
somehistory says
I agree.

Likely so…
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
She should go back to bartendering. At least then her listening audience would be too inebriated to take offense at her screwball logic. What a kook.
James Lincoln says
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness,
Agree, I hear tell that she can actually make a decent Old Fashioned…
Keith O says
WHAT? you mean she is capable of actually doing something with some degree of competence? You are talking about AOC here aren’t you?
Infidel says
Actually, I’m curious about what sort of a bartender she was? Given how dumb she is in real life – her being awestruck at seeing that her plants grew, or her calling long lines outside polling stations voter suppression b’cos a voter wouldn’t wanna stand in a long line – I don’t expect that she was even any good at that. Speaking of which, the bar that she used to work at closed down, I think due to New York’s minimum wage laws, and she was lamenting their closure even though she’s one of the top advocates of the $15/hr minimum wage
TruthSeeker says
If you r a muzzie there is every likelihood the system will go easy on you. All they hve to do is unleash the mob to scream ‘islamophobia’ and even cops back off. Same story in every country.
DavidR says
I remember how the media was reluctant to connect Islam with the slaughter at the Pulse nightclub along with almost every other mass shooting or bombing where the killers were Muslim. Eventually they become Islamic scholars and proclaim the horror show had nothing to do with Islam.
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
somehistory says
He would have been protected from the thugs that went after the teenager, and if the moslim attacked those thugs first, his “motive” would have been considered as an acceptable one or he would have been looked at as a hero of some sort.
She just has to ride the “ethnic/racial’ train, even when she has the position of being a “rep” for all Americans. So oc, here’s a little meat for you to use your big, ugly teeth on:
The most recent report from the FBI, says that ethnic/racial minorities…of which moslims don’t belong as “moslims’ but only as per their “ethnic/racial” part…are more likely to commit, and do commit, more crimes than do White people.
If not for committing the most crimes, the minorities would not be the majority of prison inmates.
And many accused get bail. It isn’t a ‘given’ for anyone, and there are legal guidelines, but if the Court allowed it, his case fit those guidelines.
If a moslim committed the same crime, some judges would be afraid to not allow bail, even if the case didn’t fit the guidelines.
Why, a, don’t you go back to doing a job for which you are better qualified?
tgusa says
Her mouth has tainted the jury pool. The young man cannot get a fair trial in America and his lawyer should state that in court. I am beginning to believe that in order to get fair and impartial justice we need a segregated court system.
She is also well beyond obsession in her anti white male derangement syndrome. The reality is she has an inferiority complex which most of us white males find extremely pathetic. I want nothing to do with the historically racist democrat party because I am a white male. I really would like these pests to just leave us alone and we will do the same in return.
somehistory says
Every time she opens her mouth, she reveals just how little she knows. One of the first things I recall was that she thinks everyone is looking at her in a lustful way, although these are not her actual words. And yet, I don’t recall a single instance of anyone speaking of her as even pretty. She is more concerned with her own feelings than with making good governmental decisions.
Generally, new ‘reps’ who have never been in government, are supposed to keep quiet, listen and learn, but she has too little brains for that; and she has, as is said these days, ‘an agenda.’
In that, she fits right in with most of the rest of her ‘party.’
Bikinis not Burkas says
There are also white skinned red haired Jihadists just like Muhammad was.
Chris says
Actually, it’s how our justice system works. AOC, you only object if Americans defending themselves fight back. In your eyes only Muslims and other cultures that commit crimes should not be prosecuted. You don’t even follow the United States Constitution.
Sage says
What was this dopey boy doing there in the first place? With a weapon that he was legally too young to possess? Asking for trouble and causing even worse
OLD GUY says
Hey don’t knock bartenders they should be a protected group, bars are closing everywhere. I have no problem with AOC being a bartender she has the right look for it and plenty of bullshit. As a congress women she is about as qualified as a swamper is to being a bartender.
E T says
She is a perfect little puppet. It won’t be long before she will be telling you to learn the “Great Reset step. Right arm up in the air, walk with your legs straight out in front of you.
Who voted this skank into office, what is their IQ? Is she not another Soros plant?
CAIR cares about the squad – the Soros plants.
Just learn the step the COVID / Great Reset step. Stay home, stay safe, wash your hands and your face. Shut your mouth and wait for further instructions from the commie clowns who are taking charge.
In Canada we have a snowboarder/ drama Queen as Prime Minister, a graphic designer as our health minister, a journalist as our finance minister, a Muslim member of parliament who introduced M-103 our hate speech motion, we must not say anything Islamophobic.
I was born in Canada but can not cross the border into the USA because of the COVID con shit down. Planes arrive everyday in Toronto from China, Pakistan, Iran, people walk across the border at Roxham Road, illegals, our halfwit PM invited into the country. He plans on bringing 412,000 migrants into Canada in the New Year. Business are closing and people are losing their jobs.
We are suffering from the COVID con, we are told to stay home, stay safe, wash our hands, shut our mouths, do as we are told. Wait, just wait for the Great Reset.
Remember Patriots, George Soros vowed at Davos, Switzerland in 2016, Donald Trump would not be re-elected in 2020. The Great Reset – the Build Back Better radicals will tear your wonderful country apart. OAC is not your friend, she is there to destroy, she is just one of the crazies and there are many.
God Bless America and keep her spiritually strong.
