Anxiety builds waiting for verdicts in the Rittenhouse and McMichael-Bryan trials

Whether he processes it as a Black man, as the father of a young son or as a mental health professional, the feeling is the same: “complex trauma.”

“Thirty years ago, it was always a loss in cases like this,” said Grant, author of the coming book “White on White Crime: Old Lies in Contemporary Times.” “Now we’re just 50-50 at best, and so many of us are disproportionately placing our hope upon the outcomes that we’ve won while forgetting there’s still George Zimmerman’s verdict and all these cases that have historically not gone our way.”

Meanwhile, in Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin, controversial statements and actions by Judge Bruce Schroeder have led critics like Grant to argue that Black defendants with similar lists of charges would never receive such accommodations. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shooting in August 2020, was charged with possession of a firearm among seven total charges. Schroeder dropped the charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18 this week.

Because of the history, Metzger said, Black people are intuitively “gearing up our hearts for the possibility.” “We have to behave like it’s a real thing,” Grant added. “Sometimes we minimize the impact of what this does to us.” He pointed out that the American Psychological Association and other organizations have advised against repeated viewing of Floyd’s murder. “We need to pay attention to the fact that when we are consuming these trials, those things impact us,” he said.

Yep

Traumatized in the sense that they’re looking forward to getting more free crap during a riot. Can we please bring on the Civil War so we can take out the trash

No Justice...No Peace!

Justice for the murdered and forever disfigured

Truth

This institution should be completely ashamed of itself and Americans should hold this institution accountable.

This is an absolutely insane take detached from all reality.

If it didn’t happen to you personally how are you traumatized?

If you're so worried about African Americans dying, why aren't you reporting more on the gang violence that seems to erupt every weekend in Chicago?

If they aren’t traumatized with the black on black crime in Chicago and else where they will be fine.

Amen 🙏 !!!

Rittenhouse didn’t kill black men 🧐…and any “trauma” to a collective here is fabricated. His case is clear cut self defense against violent rioters. MSNBC deserves the worst, they’re cultivating further divide where it doesn’t even exist. Cultists out here.

MSNBC pushing the Rittenhouse killed black people. Great for clicks. But ruining our country.

Re-traumatized because Kyle Rittenhouse killed 3 white people? Please do tell...

Rittenhouse never harmed a black person

They are already re-traumized by the black on black crimes that doesn’t report!

Three white criminals were shot. No black people were shot. Insanity.

If the jury, evidence shows innocence. Doesn't matter how it makes you feel.

I agree. I am not a black man & I find the way black & brown citizens are treated horrifying! Not new, but so sick that this level of systemic racism continues. It is past time that we as a country stand up for their rights to equal justice under the law!!

Why do you print this shit? Which rioter Rittenhouse killed was black?

No trauma in 4000 yearly black on black shootings ?

****BLATANTLY DISREGARDS THE WHITE CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST REPEATEDLY USING THE N WORD***** ****DISREGARDS THE BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES OR PROPERTIES DESTROYED BY THE RIOTERS*****

But they were all white!?!?!?!!?!? Wth?

So he kills 2 criminals in self defense and some how that will traumatize? Criminals are not HERO’s. I don’t get it.

I'm just glad that the BLM movement is finally progressing to All Lives Matter seeing how no black lives were lost in the Rittenhouse inicident. There for a second I didn't think we would ever see BLM expand to white lives too

1955: Emmett Till 2021: Ahmaud Arbery

i told my son if you left our home w/a gun late at night to confront PEOPLE & murdered two? and not soda cans in a field? i'd say - LOCK HIM UP & throw away the key....................... age 17 yr old punk kid blood thirsty like he was living a Live Video Game!

you have no shame

Traumatized, no, cynical, yes. The way this trial has been handled, no surprises if he walks.
