Not my feed but that’s pretty selective.

"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.

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."
