Can Rittenhouse Become a Nurse?

Published

Now that he has been acquitted, he says he just wants to go back to school and become a nurse. 

Do you think that is a viable career path for him, even after being found 'not guilty'..?

I would like to say that it wouldnt happen and he wouldnt be accepted into nursing school. 

Then again he did walk free after killing two people

don't get me wrong, I think change is possible and everyone deserves a second chance and yes, even Kyle. 

To come away from this situation without having demonstrated any significant change in his underlying values and beliefs. Nor does it seem that he has taken thw time to consider that he is talking about joining a profession without considering how his actions may be perceieved by that profession or whether his potential patients would be OK with having him as their nurse. 

If he is able to show a true change of heart and maintain that for an extended length of time perhaps nursing may be the career for him

The "white power " signs you refer to are not. 4 Chan came up with a troll indicating the okay sign is a white supresmist sign.

No one is even remotely buying that. It's not an issue of being on the left or right, but an issue of being a decent human being. 

When neo-N@zis marched on the Capitol of my state, they literally had shirts staying 6MWNE... Six million was not enough, and flashing their WP sign. Not ones single soul, whether conservative or liberal, was unclear what any of that meant. 

Don't wizz in my Wheaties and call it Cream of Wheat.

Those people who marched are disgusting people. However not representative of every person that has the same color and doesn't mean there is a white supresmist problem no more than there is a looting problem wirh black people. So stupid.

It's well documented that there is a growing problem with White Supremacy groups in the United States.

So yes there is a problem.

Out of over 200 million white people in the United States it's fair to say that relatively speaking it is  a very minute portion of our society.  But it certainly doesn't mean it isn't anything to be concerned about or acknowledge.  

Obviously it's not fair to say that protesters are looters but when looting occurs people go crazy about it, because it's wrong.   I rarely hear "it's was a largely peaceful protest, and it's just a very tiny small portion of the population, so the looting really isn't a problem".  No, it makes headline news.

An entire group of people should not be held accountable or be vilified by the actions of those who have the same skin color. 

There's this man, can't quite remember his name, said something like" do not judge a person by the color of their skin but by the content of their character......" I link it was Martin Luther King? Pretty sure. You should look him up. You might learn something.....

What is "white supremacy" ? 

A Trump supporter? A black man running for governor of CA?

You should look that up, especially since you want us all to believe that you are well educated and conversant with the history and current day struggles with racism in the USA. Asking such a childish question certainly highlights how insincere your comments often appear.  If you don't even understand what white supremacy represents why are you endeavoring to discuss racism at all?

We're off topic, but threads take a life of their own.

It's improper to label Trump supporters in any kind of lump category be it racist, homophobic, or any number of stereotypes.  So I do get what you're saying that people shouldn't be judged as a group

Quote

Doles, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazi National Alliance, filed paperwork earlier this year to run for a spot on the Lumpkin County Board of Commissioners in 2022. He ramped up his campaign this fall, riding a souped-up Jeep in Dahlonega’s annual Gold Rush parade.

He’s been to prison twice, marched with white nationalists in Charlottesville in 2017′s deadly “Unite the Right” rally, and, while he claims to have left white supremacist groups behind, stays in contact with skinheads, neo-Confederates and Klansmen.

Even so, he believes he can win running as a Republican and an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump. His campaign signs carry the warning “Stop Socialism. Save America,” a slogan borrowed from controversial U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who represents Georgia’s deeply conservative 14th District.

Trump given what he's said and what he stands for unfortunately has gotten a following of such people.  

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-nationalists-support-donald-trump/story?id=37524610

I wouldn't say that all White Supremists are Trump supporters though.  Many of them are distrustful of government and "big city boys".  

So I do understand where you're coming from and people shouldn't make blanket statements and stereotypes.  But also to sweep concerns under the rug with "well it's not all white people" isn't justified.

May. So what is the defintion? It's hard to say when poc are called that and people who are not white supremacist get called that too. 

You do not know what white supremacy is you can't even define it. As a poc I know exactly what it is probably more than you and what it is not is everything and anyone who disagrees with radical far left ideology. It actually cheapens the crimes of the actual white supremacist and is an insult to the victims of such. 

Can you understand the confusion when someone kills 2 people who were white and white himself is called racist or white supremacist?  Sounds like a really bad white supresmist to me.
