The miscarriage of justice in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse is astounding. It reminds me of the Beatle’s song, “Bungalow Bill,” revised below to fit this situation:

Refrain

Hey, Rittenhouse, Kyle,

Who’d you revile

take out in style?

Hey, Rittenhouse, Kyle,

take out in style

Rittenhouse, Kyle?

He went out liberal hunting with his AR-15 gun

In case of incidents he always took his mum

He’s the all-American, bullet-headed, Saxon mother’s son

All rightwing nuts sing:

Refrain

Deep in Kenosha where the unarmed marchers walked

Kyle got the feeling that he was being stalked

For his own safety then his gun he cocked and shot

All rightwing nuts sing

refrain

The lawyers asked him if to kill was not a sin

“Not when they looked so fierce,” his mummy butted in

“If looks could kill it would have been us instead of them.”

Not guilty of all charges? Really?
