Not guilty on all 5 counts.
As it should be
Now, the kid needs to sue the crap out of some people and keep his nose clean.

Not my feed but that’s pretty selective.

The bars in Kenosha are already running specials...3 shots of whiskey for $6.

"ACLU @ACLU
Despite Kyle Rittenhouse's conscious decision to travel across state lines and injure one person and take the lives of two people protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake by police, he was not held responsible for his actions.Unfortunately, this is not surprising."
"Ben Rhodes @brhodes
A very dark message sent to all the other heavily armed would-be vigilantes out there.""Mayor Bill de Blasio @NYCMayor
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."
Lawyer up, guys.

Headline at MSNBC.com: (Front and center, biggest font on the page:)
Kyle Rittenhouse trial was designed to protect white conservatives who kill
That's the news. The opinion is the fact that he was acquitted.
Holy balls where in the fuck are we living anymore.
Please love yourself.

Celebs are not happy
"Shameless" actor Emmy Rossum tweeted, "This is a devastating blow.
One-time "Jeopardy!" host LeVar Burton said, "Tell me again there are not two kinds [of] justice in America."
"The Rittenhouse verdict gives them permission to kill. I've lost the definition of right and wrong," said Broadway star Patti LuPone.
"So anyone can come to a protest, just march down the middle of the street with a massive gun - and kill people?" tweeted Mia Farrow.
"It has now been put it out there that vigilantes can just go and kill people protesting issues like racial equality whenever they want and get away with it. Think about that for a second," said actor Josh Gad.
Ava DuVernay shared a statement made by Anthony Huber's parents: "John Huber and Karen Bloom, parents of murderer #KyleRittenhouse’s victim Anthony Huber: the verdict 'sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street.'
Model Brooklyn Decker called the verdict a "disaster." She tweeted, "The precedent is terrifying. The injustice is hard to stomach."
"Star Trek" star George Takai wrote, "Justice denied is a body blow to our national psyche. On trial was not only a killer, but a system that continues to kill. Today that system defeated true justice, once again. But mark these words: We will never stop fighting for what is right and just."

Have the families of the dead child molestor and grandmother-beater commented yet?

Did any of these concerned assholes stop to think if there wasn't a riot, none of this would have happened...
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Of course not.
But that argument is similar to Mrs. George's statement, "He shouldn't have been there."
She's right, he shouldn't have.
But, that's not a crime.
Rioting is.
GrossKreutz traveled about 80 miles to be there.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

This is the conversation that I just had with one of our piano technicians -
"I can't believe they let that (bleeeeeeep) get away with it! Come on! WTF was he even doing there? He had no reason to be in Kenosha except to cause trouble! He didn't live there, he has no connection, he carried an illegal gun across state lines, and he"
Me - "No he didn't."
Him - "What?!"
Me - "He have every reason to be there. His dad lives there, he spends half of his time in the city, he had a job in Kenosha which is why he was there those particular days. He never transported the gun as it was from a friend and stayed at his friend's house and it was a legal gun"
Him - "Where did you hear all of that bullshit?"
Me - "I read the nightly transcripts. Not the news, the actual trial."
Him - "That's bullshit" and he storms off.

Perfect. Just perfect.
This is why I don't do politics on facebook.

Do I think that there was a little part of Rittenhouse that was hoping somebody would try something? Yeah, I can see that. But that's not illegal, and it's certainly nigh on impossible to prove. At the same time I am sick of this "He shouldn't have been there" crap. Why not? Why shouldn't people be allowed and able to stand up to these protestors and say "No!"? We are actually denigrating, insulting, and convicting a kid that was handing out medical supplies, cleaning graffiti, and trying to protect a few buildings and businesses and at the same time we are glorifying a child molestor, an antifa jackass, a career violent criminal, and whatever was going on with the "paramedic".
