Kyle Rittenhouse shattered the American dream

" America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between"

                                        -Oscar Wilde

I believe, Oscar guessed correctly many years ago. I believe that America is currently the only country where you can commit homicide and have the jury find you not guilty because you were acting in self-defence.

Kyle Rittenhouse, a seventeen-year-old kid, murdered two citizens and badly injured one at a riot in Kenosha last year. According to him, he was defending his property and himself from the protests brought on by Black Lives Matter. "Any Patriots prepared to take up guns and defend our city tonight from the nasty thugs," one of his racist supporters said. He also lent his support to Blue Lives Matter, a right-wing counter-movement to Black Lives Matter.

Only in America is it legal to defend yourself and your property with weapons and gangs against protestors on the street, as well as to kill two people and be judged not guilty. This is not their fault; they are fortunate to be born white and to be able to do whatever they want in America. In America, the jury system is also fairly good. It always favours the popular or racial groups you belong to. In an ideal world, his protective behaviour would be sanctioned, but he is a citizen of the greatest country on the planet, where race is the only thing that matters. Some protests have taken place in response to the decision, but I believe that this time the government will arm everyone with a rifle so that they can defend themselves.

 And the court will also ensure the jurors that all the jurors are blind and deaf. In addition, the court will verify that all of the jurors are blind and deaf.

This isn't the first time you've been treated unfairly while expecting justice. How did Kyle Rittenhouse, on the other hand, wreck the American dream? I could just say by rifle, but that isn't the acceptable response. His appearance on millions of smartphone screens is the correct response. One photograph of George Floyd epitomises racism, cruelty, and injustice, and is credited with igniting the global movement to make black lives count. Kyle Rittenhouse's snapshot exemplifies prejudice, hatred, and injustice, but it also shattered the American ideal. The majority of people believe it is not a dream that everyone should pursue. The American dream has lost its zeal. The American dream is now shattered for Native Americans and outsiders from any country.

The American dream

The reality of America now can easily be moulded into Walt Whitman's poem, " Here the frailest leave of me".

Here the frailest leaves of America and yet America's strongest lasting,

Here America shade and hide its thoughts, America itself doesn't expose them,

And yet they expose America more than anything.
