What does him being white have anything to do with this then? Why even bring that up? This was a super clear cut self defense case.

hardly a surprising outcome - especially considering who the judge was, and how fucked up america's legal system is. people (mostly, but not exclusively white) regularly get away with murder / rape / treason, while others (mostly, but not exclusively minorities) get executed despite being innocent.

that said, i think any protester would have a decent case just shooting rittenhouse on sight, considering what a danger he poses them at basically any point.

btw, didn't the jury decide the verdict, not the judge? and also wasn't the prosecution caught lying and cheating and breaking the law several times?

lmao

Judge has been shit on by basically the entire Country since this trial started.

His handling of the case was nothing short of embarrassing. He needs to retire, like 10 years ago.


Verdict aside, that judge fucking sucked lmao. Guy was doing the WEIRDEST shit during a MURDER trial, so unprofessional. Not to mention he has the memory of a goldfish.

BREAKING: Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty of the fatal shooting of two, and injury of another, during the protest over the shooting of Jacob Blake by the Kenosha Police Department.
This situation represents an outrageous failure to protect protesters by the Kenosha Police Department and Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office.
Months of research and open records requests have uncovered many incidents in which police encouraged white militia members to become armed vigilantes in the street due to their failure to control the crowd.
Despite Kyle Rittenhouse’s conscious decision to travel across state lines and injure one person and take the lives of two people protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake by police, he was not held responsible for his actions.
Unfortunately, this is not surprising.
His acquittal comes after our investigation exposed how Kenosha law enforcement used violence against protesters and drove them toward white militia groups, in ways that escalated tensions and almost certainly led to these shootings.
It is far too easy to overlook the impact that violence in defense of white supremacy has on the Black and Brown communities.
When the community rose up to exercise their First Amendment right to protest after the police shot a Black man in the back — in front of his children, police enabled white supremacist militia members.
The result of this failure was bloodshed, the loss of lives, and trauma.
No one should be targeted, threatened, or attacked for exercising our First Amendment right to protest. It is our right to protest and demand justice.
We’ll be watching to ensure no one — including law enforcement — interferes with that right.
And as we reimagine public safety, we need to create solutions that extend that safety to all communities — including those that have been systematically neglected and preyed upon.
