lmao I was just listening to the NPR news on the top of the hour and Dwayne Brown said
'Prosecutors in Kenosha successfully negotiated a guilty plea from the man who sold Kyle Rittenhouse the gun that went on to kill two people at a racial justice protest"
The tendency of the media to use passive language like this is fucking stupid. That goes both ways too, as the LA Times recently was using passive language around the police killing of that 14-year old girl in the dressing room of a store during a shootout.
KR was found to be not guilty of murder, but he still killed two people. That is incontrovertible.
That being said, I'm glad they didn't let the straw purchase slide.
