Disgusting is the word I'd use. A scary precedent has been set by an incompetent and biased judge. More injustice in a world rife with it.

Even more distressing after the BS verdict is when a legal beagle weighed in re: civil claims such as wrongful death that the families would have little chance of winning!!

More like I'm guessing you probably saw headlines and don't know anything on the subject. If Rittenhouse were a different skin color, we know how this turns out. Instead, he'll become a messiah for the gun toting loons that have a vigilante complex. This has far-reaching implications for social unrest and basically makes it okay to kill people in said social unrest. The judge's behavior throughout the trial has been plastered all over the Internet, so it's not really a secret that he was far from the impartial role he's supposed to serve in. |

I watched most of it, and it was clear to see that the verdict was an obvious choice. You're also wrong that he's going to live a messiah's life, since he'll be hunted down by the radicals like the ones outside the courthouse. What was he guilty of? |

The prosecutor was Rittenhouse's best defense, he was so incompetent. What a buffoon.

Using the race card again. Shocker. You say if it was a black man in this case, he would be found guilty. Well, how is it a race issue if it was a white on white crime? The same race in this case minimizes your theory on it being about race, which you always throw in there. Give it a rest. |

I prefer to believe that this jury did a thorough and thoughtful analysis of the evidence entered during the trial. I did not follow the trial as closely as some. However, it is clear to me that the Rittenhouse did not just enter the scene and started shooting randomly. Remember that it was Rittenhouse who was being chased. Even the testimony of one the prosecution witnesses supported the case for the defense.
Make no mistake, I think Rittenhouse is guilty of incredibly bad judgement. But his judgement before arriving on the scene was not, per se, at issue in this trial. I would also like to add that he would not have come to the scene had there not been a riot causing terrible damage to the community of Kenosha.
Most of the "protesters" were peaceful? Okay, I will accept that. Many, however, were not. We cannot continue as a united country if some people turn protests into destructive riots. And our court system is in danger if crowds threaten to riot if the jury does not issue judgements they favor.
One more thing. The POTUS made a statement that Rittenhouse was a "white supremacist". Instead, he should have said that he supported our jury system and would await the decision of the jury. But maybe that is too much to expect of Joe Biden.
Question: Does Joe Biden believe ANYTHING?

If my kid told me that he was going to go down there and bring a gun for protection and help small business owners and provide first aid to people out there at a riot scene, I would have told him that it wasn't a good idea, but he had every right to do it. You have the right to protect yourself, period. |

AzWm Willam, we have both been through the 60's and 70's upheavals. This is kinda new ground. If its ok to cross state lines with an illegally acquired weapon..cause you "want to protect the neighborhood".. future riots will become a war zone... the right seems to love it..but its heading towards anarchy. ps, I know that wasn't the charge."crossing state lines etc."..but this stupid kid is being made out to be some kind of cult hero by the right... name one other country in the modern world where this could happen? |

well, there has been some suspicious activity on my street lately. think ill go buy an AR and start patrolling my neighborhood...what could go wrong? "Suspicious activity"? Is that what you call looting and setting buildings on fire? I would suggest that, if there is violence in your neighborhood, you not get involved unless your home is being threatened. Instead, call the police, whose job it is to deal with such situations. Oh, that's right. In some cases, including in Kenosha, calling the police may be useless these days. AzWm PS: I think it is important to remember that over one billion dollars in damage was done to businesses in many cities last year. Who were many, perhaps most, of those who were hurt by the violence? I speak of the thousands whose jobs went up in flames. Those victims were the minority owners of the small business that were destroyed, along with their minority employees. How often do you see that discussed on CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc.? |

The bottom line is he had a right to protect himself, legally. Like I said, I personally wouldn't have advised my kid to have a gun, or to go to the riot scene. I'm believe in the right to bear arms, but I personally don't have one. |

William, all I am saying is that if the modern patrolling force is 17 year olds, who need a ride from their mother, while carrying a firearm their friend had to buy for them..it does not bode well. |

Many incorrect claims were made in the majority press in this case. Rushing to judgement seems to be the order of the day in too many cases.
Am I wrong, or is the false trope "Hands up --- don't shoot still" still circulating? A fair and honest press is required for a constitutional republic to survive. In large part, we don't have that today.
