Ricky Schroder Bails Out A Murderer ... And Smiles About It

First off, I am not anti-Second Amendment. If people want guns, and they can be responsible gun owners, then have at it. I have, at this point, no need or desire to own any type of gun, but that’s just me.

However, on August 25, 2020, the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin erupted in protests after the police shooting on Black man Jacob Blake.

The Murderer—I will not say his name here—a 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, illegally purchased an AR-15 rifle and traveled thirty miles, across state lines, to defend …. Well, no one really knows what he was doing there, we only know he came armed and hoped to confront protesters. At some point, this armed teenager, allowed to roam freely armed through the protest. At one point, The Murderer says protesters began chasing him and physically confronting him, so he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injure Gaige Grosskreutz.

The Murderer was arrested and charged with multiple counts of homicide and unlawful possession of a firearm, while Dominick Black, of Antioch, was arrested and charged with unlawfully supplying a weapon to The Murderer, whose attorneys claim he acted in self-defense upon hearing a firearm discharge and in response to the numerous physical confrontations by protesters.

The very protesters he drove across state lines to confront after illegally purchasing an assault style weapon.

That alone makes me hope he rots in jail, and he was about to, at least until his trial started—his bail was set at $2 million—when a group of Christians—who missed that one Commandment about not killing—began collecting money for his bail.

And last week, his lawyer, Lin Wood Tweeted out that actor Rocky Schroder gave the last boost of cash—$150,000—that set The Murderer free while awaiting trial.

Again, you like the Second Amendment, good for you; but when a child, and seventeen is a child, illegally buys a weapon, and travels across state lines in what would appear to be an attempt to hunt protesters and then kills two and injures a third, and you think he should be free on bail, you’re a special kind of stupid, or …

You’re Ricky Schroder.

PS Ricky? Asshat? Where was your bail check for Kenneth Walker, Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend, who had the right to own a weapon, and the right to carry a weapon, shot a police officer he believed to be breaking into his home? Or do you only bail out white people?
