After news breaks out that 18 year old Kyle Rittenhouse has gotten away with multiple murder, many speak out. And the media is in a frenzy. A crowd gathered outside of the Justice Center to protest the verdict. Police said they declared a riot when people began causing destruction around 9 p.m. last night.
Rittenhouse, having had a racist judge who seemed to be fathering the homegrown terrorist, was acquitted after 3 days of courtroom proceedings that charged the boy with the following:
- FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESS HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
- FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
- FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
- FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
- ATTEMPTED FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
- POSSESSION OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON BY A PERSON UNDER 18
- FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH AN EMERGENCY ORDER FROM STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
All of the charges were dismissed. Rittenhouse argued self-defense in the shootings. His mother drove him to a high protest area with an assault rifle. He is similar to those that used their cars to kill protestors. Many believe that his mother should have also been placed on trial for aiding her grown and violent son. There is also a video online of Rittenhouse beating up a girl.
Rittenhouse, of Antioch, was 17 at the time of the shootings. He used his white younth and white tears to reflect away the he murdered two men. Rittenhouse shot three men in total. He traveled to Kenosha, which is only about 15 miles from his home, on Aug. 25 after racist pleas went out on social media to protect businesses during protests. People were outraged over the shooting of a Black man, Blake, by a white police officer two days earlier. The two people killed were identified as 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum, of Kenosha, and 26-year-old Anthony Huber, of Silver Lake. Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, a protester from West Allis, Wisconsin, was wounded.
Donald Trump “congratulated” Kyle Rittenhouse on today’s verdict. The former president who also call tiki torch Nazis good people put out a brief statement that read: “If that’s not self-defense, nothing is!”
For many people, Rittenhouse’s treatment is seen as revealing. White criminals and terrorists are given favorable treatment whether violent, an armed militia, or supporter of violence. They receive illegal preferential treatment from law enforcement, compared to the illegal actions and even attitudes toward Blacks and anti-racist protestors.
Activists from Black Voters Matter stated, they were “disappointed but not surprised. This is not justice. This is not accountability. However, this is America.” Just after 7 p.m., activists began sending out information that over 100 people had gathered outside the Justice Center in downtown Portland to protest the Rittenhouse verdict. Rittenhouse’s attorney said, “He has to get on with his life the best he can. I think eventually some anonymity will come back to it. I don’t think he’ll continue to live in this area. I think it’s too dangerous,” attorney Richards said outside of his Racine office.
