President Biden says he stands by the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, saying the jury system of trial in the US works and must be respected

"Look, I stand by what the jury has concluded," he said."The jury system works, and we have to abide by it."Rittenhouse, the teenager who killed two people and shot another during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was acquitted Friday of first-degree intentional homicide and four other felony charges. The panel of five men and seven women deliberated more than 25 hours over the past four days in a closely watched case. The verdict cannot be appealed.

I know that we're not going to heal our country's wounds overnight, but I remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that every American is treated equally, with fairness and dignity, under the law," the statement reads.Biden also encouraged protesters to"express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law.""Violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy," the statement adds.

Hi Joe, the jury system of trial intends to deliver righteous verdicts but often what should be so, isn't so - IMHO Rittenhouse is one of those verdicts.

After you guys and the rest of the lying media made ppl believe he was a white supremacist who shot and killed black ppl when the truth was they were white. America's news agencies rated the last in a survey of trusted news sources. I trusted and watch RT over our news. Now I

Trump 2

'they system failed, but it works, so we gotta respect when it fails'

He has to agree with the judicial system. But with that being said the judicial system does need some reform. I’m not happy or sad about the verdict. If you go to a protest brandishing an AR your sending a pretty clear message. Lives were taken and altered. Punishment was needed.

Yeah, right! Vigilantism has just been judicially approved.

Jury of your peers

What was he to say?

Another reason why electing Biden over Trump was the correct choice. If that was a person of color who had shot a couple of Trump loyalists and been declared innocent, Trump and Fox News would have led another insurrection.

I voted for him. This makes me question my judgment. But, I still am glad it's him, and not Trump.

What a load of crap. Jury system does not work at all. This murderer should be in prison right now

While many of us are upset the president of USA is making a good choice. It would cause problems of he publicly said he disagreed with it. Definitely very appropriate response

It didn’t this time, and you and every one else saw it FAIL! I’m now armed to the asshole and intend to stay that way our legal system is jacked up 100% failure

That's straight b.s.cause that boy is guilty. There has to be federal charges against him!

Hope he sues you Biden, if felons chase me, im shooting too

It was a setup trail with a result conducting judge and controlled failing of prosecution. Shame on all involved in this dirty game of so called “justice system “.

If he wasn’t a status-quo president and did his job better he would pass criminal justice reform but here he is increasing police budgets without instituting accountability, supporting a justice system where the judge made a mockery of the process, and then standing by it 👏🏽

'you about to lose yo job'

He stands by his decision we get that. Who ever wrote this needs to have Biden reevaluated because two people are dead and one walks away free and rich! It’s political motivated

Uh oh lol

Sure, it 'works'for white people. The truth is, the whole system needs a major overhaul, but this won't be the administration to do it.

I'm sorry but I disagree. I support my president. This decision will haunt this country for decades. It gives everyone the right to police and call open season on people. America became less safe today. I'm disappointed.

What else is he supposed to say? The truth is the 'Justice' System is a

I disagree, the Federal Government should charge this kid with civil rights violations, if they won't convict him of murder, which it was.

Kyle was only guilty of taking care of himself which anyone of us should or would of done the same for sure.

Military! I'll pay you 4 times what the military pays you with benefits if you jump ship. No vaccines required

If Kyle Rittenhouse had been the one who died, would the shooter have been found not guilty?

Joe is a white Supremacist calling blacks Negros. So called BLM protests last night looked like a WLM protest where Black's forgot to ahow up to their own protests.

I disagree adamantly. The human rights of two dead men and their families were violated and ignored while a killer was set free. You don’t attend a volatile situation with a semi automatic weapon, crossing State lines unless you intend to commit harm by choice or accident.

I guess the media has ripped your backbone out Mr President. You’ve backpedaled on this statement a little more than an hour after making it. Be a leader sir. Say what you mean and mean what you say!! Unreal

Biden should tell that to his VP.

There are times, like NOW, when a judge should be removed. Can't respect the verdict when whites walk and people of color get put behind bars for life for much less. This verdict continues to show everything that is wrong with our racist system. He was looking to kill blacks...

Just because it works, doesn’t mean it’s working correctly.

The divide preexists it. The divide is why the case got attention in the first place.

He is right. Congress made the laws. The GOP appointed the majority of the judges, to include the S.C. That judge set the stage when he said they couldn't refer to the victims as victims? So, the ruling will err toward the GOP--gun toting white male who is probably racists.

Said something right for the time time.

Meanwhile he's continuing trump's efforts to define leftwing activism as terrorism. Expect a lot more Rittenhouses and their corresponding Reinoehls in the coming years

No no no😭

1. Found not guilty because he was educated as a killing machine (he had to find where to use his 'semi-automatic rifle') 2.Not innocent because the Judgement day will come (there, no need of investigations, appeal, lawyer, media...)

Then he needs to be primaried the hell out of and not be re-elected.

President Biden is responsible for this considering he thinks vandalism is on par with murder.

America will have a hard time calling out for justice and democracy in other countries. They are certainly not leading by example. The lives of the two people killed didn’t matter at all.

What a travesty. That's all.

Yeah it works when they make sure they have an all white jury, right Joe? 😑

I completely disagree. That makes no sense for what so ever 😡

That’s true if there is no interference from the head of the court.

Democrats celebrated arsonists while they burned cities - Kyle stepped up when feckless politicians cowered to the mob. Long live Kyle Rittenhouse.

This is why they should start calling him Sherrif Joe.

One term president biden.

Oof, that's gonna hit that approval rating

Poop

uuuuh. POTUS when you “temporarily” hand over power to VP, make sure it’s permanent.

Jury system is different than the character make-up of the people that are on the jury…if you have 12 white supremacist on the jury, what do you think would happen?

You're paraphrasing That's not all what was stated.

And he is wrong for saying this.

You know damn well it doesn’t work and that’s one thing we will disagree with.

You left out the part about him being confused and angry🙄

Not surprising. He will side with the right whenever it’s convenient

We will see how much he stands by his white supremacist comments.

Now that the kid was found not guilty, the question is can he now be charged with unlawfully owning or using a Ar15 at age 17 and crossing state lines, I'm not a lawyer, but there must be some law against those issues.

Oh fuck off Joe

First, Biden called him a white supremacist. I hope he sues you all.

BS

Black people this your boy 🤣🤣

Yes, and he’s HISPANIC. The white guys are the ones that died

So once again the US justice system has some of us in Canada shaking our heads. Apparently it is ok for a 17 year old to walk around with a military assault weapon for “self defence “. Wow!

Of course he does, Where’s The RESPONSIBILITY and RESPECT For The VICTIMS.🤮

and I’ve already gotten an email asking for money for him

Yes, POTUS, it does work... for the people it was meant to protect at the expense of nearly everyone else.

Stop voting for the duopoly. They don't gaf about people's lives.

Why am I not surprised.

I feel you Biden but in this case the jury system was clearly unfair bro. The ONE charge that was guaranteed was thrown out by the judge.

Not exactly what he said. He led with 'disappointed.' Did you miss that?

What in Gods name is Biden to do? He is not responsible for fairness in a trial. Throughout history people got off that may have been guilty. Once we figure out it is us as a people that are electing judges and are corrupt we will fix it.

BS flag.

Really.... wow, just wow....

notmypresident

Kyle's mother is GUILTY and should go to jail! If she had not taken her 17 yr old son to the protest with the illegal gun, those 2 people would be alive today! Hope the parents sue her! TheJusticeDept POTUS VP DNC GOP thereidout DonLemonTonight CuomoPrimeTime maddow

Oh please😖

So in America, white people are allowed to do whatever they want. I'm sure a lot of kids will copy what he did.

JUSTICE SYSTEM AIN'T SHIT AND NEITHER IS BIDEN
