Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty on all counts

Kyle Rittenhouse is no hero — he’s a gun-toting, cop-loving product of white privilege who thinks a piece of property matters more than the life of a Black man​

The same people who think Kyle Rittenhouse should get a medal for killing two people and wounding another with a semi-automatic rifle at a Wisconsin Black Lives Matter protest think Alec Baldwin should rot in jail for accidentally shooting and killing a woman on a movie set with what he was told was an unloaded gun.

And, even if you make the senseless case that the men Rittenhouse shot were “arsonists,” “rioters,” and “looters” and not victims — as defense attorneys did — none of these alleged crimes carried the death penalty, and certainly no one appointed Rittenhouse as their judge, jury and executioner.

Still, the wave of sympathy being generated for this adolescent assassin is astounding. Equally troubling is the jury’s decision that another self-appointed vigilante should get away with murder.

...

Rittenhouse, a former police youth cadet, said he went to Kenosha from his home in nearby Antioch, Ill. to protect property from rioters. Rittenhouse’s lawyers say he shot the men in self defense.

Rittenhouse is white, as were his victims. But anyone who thinks this case wasn’t about race is as blind as justice is supposed to be.

...

“Nobody drives into a city with guns because they love someone else’s business that much. That’s some bulls--t,” comedian Trevor Noah said shortly after the shooting. “No one has ever thought, ‘Oh, it’s my solemn duty to pick up a rifle and protect that TJ Maxx.’ They do it because they’re hoping to shoot someone.”

I see Noah's words are shared all over the place,

Did Noah make a comment about the riots in SA?

What is clear is that the evidence is being ignored, like totally misappropriated.

I am pretty sure the stautues are there for other reasons. They left their mark on the world and some kind of legacy. Criminals don't require statues.
They were all criminals, weren't they? Of course criminals leave a mark on communities but if the crime is bad enough, the world is left with an indelible mark. Look at Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, various kings and presidents, etc.

In most of the media coverage and commentary I've seen, the evidence is completely ignored. Luckily the court only looks at evidence.

What I love is that they all push the idea that he went there looking to shoot someone, ignoring that fact that they gave him a good reason to do so. Like complaining that a cop was looking for someone to fine when you were speeding.

Now what what?

Are you implying that Ritalinhouse should be suing old Joe for not liking the verdict too?

Biden said those things at different times. First "I stand by what the jury has concluded. The jury system works and we have to abide by it." and then later (after his spin doctors got hold of him I suspect) "While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken.". Can't be seen not to support the narative.

The "no comment" statement.

Oh so many Saffers do this, "they just looking for easy targets", if you didn't make it suped easy and didn't speed so damn much, they'd have to go after harder targets dumbasses.

This is exactly what Gaige did. Except his gun was the only illegal one.

But, you know feels trump facts with these people.

And, the USA did us a massive favour by taking this talking head.

That is why, when we decide now, to do statues we do it for people that deserve it.

Statue for Rittenhouse - defender of the people.

He isnt stupid.
He is being contrarian.
Comparing the death of a pedo, a serial woman abuser and the maiming of a felon to an upstanding member of a community.
It is pretty much trolling.
But if he has shown leftist tendencies then it is just malice.
Pretty good bait though, subtle but full of taste, maybe just mental illness ?
He may even be their greatest ally.

Who says my meme is anything about what you mention? I was pointing out how stupid it is to think we won't get his little game. If anybody was really that stupid they wouldn't know how to breathe without assistance.
