Real Sankara Hours

RSH 109 -- All Judges (11.22.2021)

Listen Later

Recorded November 17, 2021. We (Adam and Peter) recorded this before the verdict of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, which we discuss in this episode. On November 19, Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges (murder, attempted homicide, recklessly endangering safety). What Adam (just now) noticed is how the fact that Kyle admitted to killing a guy on the phone during the protest (he was phoning someone and it got recorded). Real Sankara Hours discussed this in a previous episode right when the protests and shooting occurred in August 2020. 

In addition to the Rittenhouse trial, Adam and Peter also talk about Ethiopia, the trial of the men who killed Ahmaud Arbery, a U.S. airstrike in Syria that killed dozens of innocent people in Syria in 2019, and the Astroworld Festival stampede.
