Expert Witness from BURNOUT by BENEFITS

He* was compelled to arm himself and go up North
Protect public property from thugs and looters
No one can afford to go on safari these days
But you can go to a protest, and shoot at leftists
And shoot a leftist

Even if you win, you still lose
Even if you win, you still lose
Even if you win, you still lose

Now that boy’s on trial
Think of his poor mother, and all she sacrificed
Who’s your expert witness?
Some dickhead from Reddit?
Well, I will testify
Clearly he felt he was
Defending himself from attacks on the left and on the right
If those guys were right they would be here to testify

Even if you win, you still lose
Even if you win, you still lose
Even if you win, you still lose

If I have a gun and I have it with me
Since that gun could also be used against me
I must make sure that no one acts against me**
I must make sure that no one can act against me
If I have a gun and I have it with me
Since that gun could also be used against me
I must make sure that no one acts against me

Even if you win, you still lose
Even if you win, you still lose
Even if you win, you still lose
Even if you win, you still lose


Notes:

* 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhauer or Rittenhoover or Ritten-whatever took an assault-style rifle from Antioch, Illinois to Kenosha, Wisconsin in order to join up with a bunch of armed civilians who wanted to abate the civil unrest spurred on by the murder of Jacob Blake by police officer Rusten Sheskey. While visiting K-town, the armed child shot three protestors, two of them fatally. While his actions on 08/25/2020 looked, walked, and quacked like those of what is referred to as an “active shooter,” the little shit was eventually found not guilty on two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide, and two counts of reckless endangerment. And one day he will likely be elected to office of some sort. What a country! Also, when you have a moment, please look up the term “stochastic terrorism.”

** Again, this refers to the child who took a gun across state lines to a place where protests were happening, and by virtue of him being an armed child at a protest in a country that is famous for mass shootings carried out by children, he is seen as a threat to protesters; when a protester attempts to disarm him, the armed child shoots and kills the protester in self-defense. And keeps going.
