Rittenhouse Verdict — The Worst Takes So Far!!
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. https://t.co/TwaI2ghgM5

Don’t forget, Biden labeled a 17-year old Rittenhouse a “white supremacist.” Beyond shameful. pic.twitter.com/G1mA7XLqHj

Kyle Rittenhouse is living proof that white tears can still forestall justice.

A murderer is once again walking free today — our system is terribly broken. https://t.co/3FKF4c4R3t
Yeah, the white halfling child rapist running around shouting the n-word was definitely fighting for black lives, you absolute racist clown. https://t.co/WHWgyMfr2B

The judge. The jury. The defendant.

It’s white supremacy in action.
This system isn’t built to hold white supremacists accountable. It’s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free.
I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken.
We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist.

This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed.
This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest. https://t.co/Uh95Uc1Ddo

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.
So much for “innocent until proven guilty.” Big Tech has its own court for Rittenhouse.

A Facebook spokesperson told The Verge that “‘We’ve designated this shooting as a mass murder and have removed the shooter’s accounts from Facebook and Instagram.’” https://t.co/Lt7PwN3Gyu

Dangerous, disgusting, unacceptable white supremacy in #RittenhouseVerdict https://t.co/JBwxndLfME

Stark reminder of inequity.

Rittenhouse killed two men w/an AR-15. Found not guilty.
Tamir Rice was shot by police for having a toy gun.
Christopher Belter raped 4 girls. Given no jail time.
Two men were exonerated after serving decades for Malcom X murder they did not commit.
The Rittenhouse verdict gives them permission to kill. I’ve lost the definition of right and wrong.

So anyone can come to a protest, just march down the middle of the street with a massive gun – and kill people? #RittenhouseVerdict

It’s not that I didn’t expect this verdict, but it is still extremely depressing.

It is difficult to express in words, or even via stats, how messed up the U.S. ‘justice’ system is, & how riddled with double standards it is.

Does anyone – even the most conservative person – really believe a black man or a Muslim like me would have been acquitted, too?
