I’ve been watching as responses to the NOT GUILTY verdict came in for Kyle Rittenhouse and the left is responding with outrage and tears:
Newsweek Columnist:
Today’s sham verdict was a great travesty of justice. The Rittenhouse verdict proves that this country has two separate and unequal systems of justice. We must build power on every level of government to protect our communities and force this corrupt system to end.

Failed Democrat candidate:
The Not Guilty verdict for Kyle Rittenhouse is evidence of how *ANTITHETICAL* the RepubliQan vision of “Justice” is from the American vision.
If you don’t understand that we are *IN* a Civil War that is likely to get “REALLY VIOLENT” – you should start accepting that notion.

Sports Illustrated host:
Kyle Rittenhouse is a MURDERER. despite the narrative some people would like to push — he's not an American hero defending this 'great land' and no verdict will change that fact. he simply has the right skin color for protection from his crimes.
sickening, but not shocking.

Leftist:
100% unsurprised about the Rittenhouse verdict, but still sickened by the whole affair — and most of all disgusted by how the right as cheered him on as a hero. It's one thing to believe he met the bar for self-defense. It's REALLY another to believe what he did was laudable. https://t.co/lvwrUJ2jLH

LA local politician:
TODAY IN TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT. Kyle Rittenhouse verdict: Not guilty on all counts https://t.co/gJd1JkkCCQ

San Francisco politician:
The decision to find Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges is a stunning failure to bring justice on behalf of those he murdered – Anthony Huber, and Joseph Rosenbaum. Verdicts like this threaten our ability to maintain a civil society and mitigate rampant gun violence.

I don’t even know:
I …I don’t have anything to say about the Rittenhouse verdict. I’m not surprised by it at all, but scared about what this means for future white boys like him who are learning that murdering protesters is a-okay if you’re white.
