Leftist Meltdown Over Rittenhouse Not Guilty Verdict (legalinsurrection.com)
I’m going to say two things right off.
- If you were at all surprised by the verdict, you haven’t paid attention to the facts in this case. As some have said, you need to rethink your news sources
- If you’re upset by the verdict, then you must feel that it was okay for people to attack Kyle Rittenhouse and not okay for him to defend himself. Make no mistake about it, if Kyle Rittenhouse had not done what he’d be dead now. Period. More bluntly, if you’re upset with the verdict, you want Kyle dead. Period.
Ugh. These are horrible.
Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims. They should be alive today.

The only reason they’re not is because a violent, dangerous man chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people.
To call this a miscarriage of justice is an understatement. https://t.co/TwaI2ghgM5
Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are child rapists and kidnappers. And they would have been killers if Kyle hadn't defended himself.

I would hate to live in such a world
The white supremacist system of power makes it clear that white people can avoid any legal consequences, and that if an active shooter is murdering people, you would be in the wrong if you tried to stop them.
— Anastasia Fennec (@AnastasiaFennec) November 19, 2021
Vigilante and white supremacist murder have just been legalized. https://t.co/GQIcyLbX8i
Maybe don't riot and attack people carrying guns.
The return of vigilante justice? America looking a lot more like the early1900s than how we thought the 2000’s would shake out. https://t.co/zQJhj6dDvf

Kyle wasn't the one burning up a city.
But Trayvon Martin deserved to die because he fought back against an aggressor with no weapon. This is the legacy of white supremacy in action. https://t.co/ZzCMaDPmCt

When you have no argument, bring up something that has nothing at all to do with the case in question.
In this country, you can even kill white people and get away with it if those white people are fighting for Black lives. This is the legacy of 1619.
— Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) November 19, 2021
Yes, 1619 is quite relevant to this case 402 years later. *eye roll*
it's lucky for Kyle Rittenhouse that he was just a bloodthirsty white teenager crossing state lines to literally commit murder, and not, for example, a black man selling loose cigarettes on a street corner, because there are serious consequences for that
— Jeff Tiedrich (@itsJeffTiedrich) November 19, 2021
Everything in this tweet is either irrelevant or wrong.
I don't have anything clever to say in light of the Rittenhouse verdict. The system is designed to protect whiteness at all costs. And that's exactly what it did today.
— Jessica Mason Pieklo (@Hegemommy) November 19, 2021
The system is designed to protect those who protect themselves.
The Rittenhouse verdict gives them permission to kill. I've lost the definition of right and wrong.
— Patti LuPone (@PattiLuPone) November 19, 2021
Let me help you. Wrong: Rioting, burning, attacking people who are trying to stop you from doing that. Right: defending yourself from violent attackers and rioters.
Kyle Rittenhouse can burn in the deepest, darkest, most painful pits of hell.

This is not justice.
Twelve impartial jurors disagree.
Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson implies there will be more deadly incidents like this, saying the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict was "a vindication of vigilanteism" and driving "across state lines carrying a military-style assault weapon" to threaten people pic.twitter.com/OL5Gsim8iL
— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) November 19, 2021
What a hack.
Kyle Rittenhouse claims he went to provide “medical support” that he was not qualified to give, while holding a gun that he was not legally allowed to carry, in a state where he did not live. He then killed 2 people and shot a third. Now he walks free because of white privilege.
— Kaivan Shroff (@KaivanShroff) November 19, 2021
Again, irrelevant and/or wrong. Kyle was legally allowed to carry the weapon, and who cares that he went across state lines. Why would anyone think that's important?
The Rittenhouse verdict (expected) just emboldens & justifies violence against particular types of protestors; it upholds a long tradition of protecting white vigilante violence under the guise of self defense & the farcical excuse of ‘security’. Just another day in this country.

We knew, but it’s sometimes helpful to remind ourselves how America was designed to work. It continues to work as designed. We have learned again what is considered legal for *some* people to do in America. It’s helpful to know where you stand in your country. Be safe out there.
— Joy-Ann (Pro-Democracy) Reid (@JoyAnnReid) November 19, 2021
I don't care what a racist homophobe like Joy Reid thinks about anything.
You know damn well that if Kyle Rittenhouse were Black he would have been found guilty in a heartbeat—or shot dead by cops on the scene.
— Julián Castro (@JulianCastro) November 19, 2021
We don't know that. And irrelevant anyway. Are you suggesting because some injustice might have occurred if Kyle were black, that he should also suffer injustice? Because that's how it sounds to me.
I knew it. Kyle Rittenhouse is proof that white people can still break the law, carry illegal weapons, shoot and kill people, and get away with it in America by shedding tears and claiming self-defense.
— Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) November 19, 2021
He can claim self defense, because it was self defense. Did you not watch the trial?
I knew Rittenhouse would be acquitted but it is gutting to witness the inevitable, to know there will be no consequences for the judge, and to know Rittenhouse and others like him will be more emboldened to be openly white supremacist vigilantes. It's hollowing.
— roxane gay (@rgay) November 19, 2021
Consequences for the judge? For what? He bent over backwards giving the prosecution as much leeway as he could.
Kyle Rittenhouse walked so that the next mass shooters could run.
— Rex Chapman (@RexChapman) November 19, 2021
I'm not even sure what the point of this tweet is.
Let's face it. The judge set Kyle Rittenhouse free. He did so from the day he said those murdered were not victims. Vigilante murder in Wisconsin is now a thing.
— Fred Guttenberg (@fred_guttenberg) November 19, 2021
Well, they weren't victims, and otherwise, youy watched a different trial than I did.
Stark reminder of inequity.
— Ana Navarro-Cárdenas (@ananavarro) November 19, 2021
Rittenhouse killed two men w/an AR-15. Found not guilty.
Tamir Rice was shot by police for having a toy gun.
Christopher Belter raped 4 girls. Given no jail time.
Two men were exonerated after serving decades for Malcom X murder they did not commit.
Again, no argument, so bring up a lot of cases that have no bearing on this one.

Any "enraged" young people need a better education in our justice system from the schools, and in the nature of right vs. wrong from their parents.
no justice, no peace.

That sounds suspiciously like a threat.

I suspect he will not face censure for this.
