Rittenhouse verdict - how will America react?

[Horace]

Their only hope is to maintain the white supremacy narrative in the face of the skin colors of the people who got shot. It's feasible. They have lots of practice inventing race narratives, and the bar of pop culture belief is very low.

Stop thinking that racism has anything to do with ethnicity or color of skin…

Just for s&g's, ask some of your Dem friends how many black people did Rittenhouse shoot?

Mrs. George and I were talking about that this afternoon. There was live coverage on several local channels from in front of the Kenosha courthouse.

I reminded her (and she doesn't follow politics, at all) that this is about a white guy shooting three other white guys.

"What are all those BLM people doing there, then?"

Well, yeah....

At one time, not any more, mind you, the right answer would have been, “they’re fellow travellers”.

I find it hard to believe that blacks will riot over one white guy shooting two other white guys. Antifatheads maybe.

Agreed, I don't think there will be much uproar about this. Relatively speaking, I guess.

There will be attempts by a small number of people to spark some flames, we'll see if they succeed. You can rely on one thing. Those few people who attempt to start some rioting will be ignored by pop culture, and not giggled at by leftists.

I take it you guys aren’t watching what’s happening outside of the courthouse? By the way, the stupid idiots have already given the defense everything they need to get a conviction overturned. They are there to protest for “justice” lol.

I’m pissed as hell about what has happened to the word equity. What’s happened to the word justice is even worse.

Doing God's work.

Here's a heaping helping of mainstream leftist opinion regarding this trial, brought to you by a tenured professor of whatever, with the requisite skin color to be a truly wise expert on these matters:

What Kyle Rittenhouse's tears reveal about America

tl;dr: America has a moral obligation to find Mr Rittenhouse guilty. Also, January 6, which was totally about race.

@ivorythumper Ok that is hilarious

[LuFins Dad]

@Horace OK, that is hilarious.

Police declared a riot in downtown Portland, Oregon after a group protesting Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal damaged property and threw rocks at cops on Friday night.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office declared the riot just after 9 p.m. local time after 200 protesters began breaking windows and doors of city buildings and “throwing objects” at cops, officials said.

The group also talked about burning down the city’s Justice Center, which houses the Portland Police Bureau headquarters, a county jail and some courtrooms, KOIN TV reported.

Police Chief Chuck Lovell told the outlet earlier in the night that it was “reasonable to expect there will be some type of reaction to the verdict.”

Video from the scene posted by local independent journalist Grace Morgan showed armed police officers retreating as protesters advanced toward them. Other videos showed windows smashed at the Multnomah County Office building.

The crowd had largely dispersed by 11 p.m. local time, according to KOIN TV.

It was not clear if any arrests had been made late Friday.
