KENOSHA, WI – A Wisconsin jury found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges after the teen shot & killed two people protecting himself during a riot and left-wing activitists have threatened violent protests in response.
According to reports, Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges against him Friday, including intentional homicide – the most serious of five charges against him in a case that largely divided America along political and racial lines more than a year after he shot three men during a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse stood before the jury as the verdict was read. As each not guilty verdict was read, Rittenhouse started to cry. By the last verdict, he appeared to collapse. He was helped up and given water. Rittenhouse then hugged one of his attorneys.
Rittenhouse fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz during often violent protests in the summer of 2020 following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse, 17 at the time, faced charges ranging from intentional homicide to reckless and attempted homicide.
Reactions to the trial were just as politicized, and earlier this week, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers authorized the deployment of 500 national guard troops to Kenosha to be on standby ahead of the verdict.
This is a developing story.

PermalinkThis was nothing short of a farce, they had these 3 three slugs on video attacking this guy.
Anyone with half a braincell would never try to physically attack some one that is carrying anyway.
No matter what skin color or beliefs any one that terrorizes, burns or loots should be shot on site.

PermalinkA few idiots taking trophies, although stupid, hardly amounts to looting, look to the BLM protests in DC from June of 2020 (among others) to see what looting looks like.
Poor Pence was so frightened he thinks he has a shot at the Republican nomination in 2024.
And if you're using the feds as sourcing and verification for actual violence, you're misguided. They don't arrest people for actual violence, evidently, referring again to June of 2020 in DC. They also don't investigate anything that might shine a light on their own malfeasance, and they knowingly falsify information for FISA warrants to spy on US Citizens, as indicated by the recent Durham indictments. Great leadership from our premier investigative service.
It has been established that the FBI were the agent provocateurs urging violence via the "unindicted co-conspirators" and ANTIFA plants in the crowd. The FBI has a storied history of infiltrating and instigating, and then decrying. These are stories that the MSM doesn't tell you. You have to read actual journalists for the real stories. Surprisingly, Fox actually addressed it on Tucker Carlson.

PermalinkNo "LeFtiSt ViOlEnCe"? Where is all the leftist violence I was promised? Nowhere? That's right, unlike republicans, democrats don't try to take over the government and start riots and destroy government property when they lose.
For the record I personally think the verdict was the correct one.

Ummm thats why Mr Rittenhouse was in Kenosha. All of the leftist riots, burning of civilian businesses and personal properties. And that's why three of them were shot like the disrespectful pieces of shit they are(were for those in a pine box :)). You don't think before you speak do you?

PermalinkI am talking about after the fact (doing something because you lost.) You really need to learn reading comprehension.
Sure there were some people that took advantage of those peaceful protests, but right wing agitators already admitted to starting fires to sow discontent with the protestors and police,
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/far-right-boogaloo-member-admits-to-yelling-justice-for-george-floyd-after-shooting-at-minneapolis-police-station/ar-AAP37bt
Not to mention that those protests were against the systematic racism in America and the killing of George Floyd. Which worked by the way since George Floyds murderer was sentenced to prison.
I know you republicans are desperately trying to equate the protests with your insurrection to attempt to soften the blow, but it's just not going to work. You tried (and failed miserably) to take over the government after you lost a fair election that even republican run investigations can find any problems with. It is only a matter of time before you lose again and try the same thing.

PermalinkNice try making people look bad! After all that's what you do here. Say that everyone is bad except you and your horrible alignment with the Democratic party. You backpedaled as soon as I put you on the spot, a horrible trait caused by your diseased liberal brain. Please don't bother with some long drawn out explanation of why you were put on the spot and how it's my fault. Please just stick a sock in your mouth and please shut up. You sound stupid, arrogant and uneducated the way you come on here all self aware, self righteous, and of course better than everyone....... your poop is just as stanky as everyone elses, you just can't smell it because you have your head up your ass!!

I didn't "backpedal" I just repeated what I said, and attempted to explain what I meant in a way you might be able to understand, I see I was wrong about you having the ability to understand anything except what you have already made up in your mind.
When you make poor attempts at insults it means I have already won. Thank you for conceding.

If they did call him a "white supremacist" it might be because he was flashing white power gang signs,

PermalinkNot sure, and no. Party's are different ones then they were in the past, the KKK endorsing one in the past and now the other in the present is a good example of this, they basically switched (you can also look at how states voted over the course of 150+ years to see this shift.) But, if you have some links that you can post I will take a look.
Either way, you are desperately trying to deflect from the fact that Trump was officially endorsed by the KKK.

PermalinkOk, so lets put it this way. Conservatives do not want change, liberals want change, Correct? Now which of those two do you think Lincoln's republicans were in the 1860's? Lincoln's republicans were also the party of big government and created most of the oversight agency's we have now, are the conservatives of today for or against big government? It's not that hard to figure out that the democrats and republicans of the past are not the same parties as they are today.

PermalinkThis whole Rittenhouse thing is infuriating.
Kyle Rittenhouse is a brain-dead little bastard whose parents apparently never told him to not do stupid things. They might have thrown in not to handle highly lethal weapons about which he knew nothing other than "They look cool."
He is an idiot. He had no business getting hold of a military-style weapon. His ignorance of the weapon and its ammunition (duh, what does full metal jacket mean?) screams this. He had no maturity, knowledge, or training that might have prepared him to go into a situation like Kenosha and play any meaningful role. Had he an IQ greater than that of a turnip he would have known this. He made the situation there worse, and he remains ignorant and unrepentant of the damage he has done. I have no bloody sympathy for him and do not wish him well.
I also loathe the Right's embracing of him as a hero. The case simply serves to illuminate the logical and moral decrepitude that has embraced the Right. The Right has become a sterling example of the vacuous infectious mindset that has brought down other formally admirable societies. It brings to mind the dystopian world portrayed in "The Handmaid's Tale". In that hideous world I see far too many similarities between Gilead and the world so many in the Right would like to create here.
I weep for what I see our nation's possibly becoming.
