Yet the ones he shot had criminal records but thats ok isn't it

I heard Virginia Tech offered him a scholarship.

You should ask Rittenhouse if he would direct a superhero movie.

To give nothing at all in accountability is a slam on this country and its people. Thete is no justice here at all.

The worse part about this is that EVERY1 knew he was guilty, but most of us had a feeling that he would get away with it. This isn't the 1st time we were shocked by sum1 getting away with murder & after this verdict, others will try to see if they can get away with murder as well

I thought he killed white people?

Did everyone pay attention to this travesty. Your vote is in jeopardy. Imagine this white nationalist being given a free reign under a authoritarian gov headed by the minority so called Republicans. Natzis will take a backseat to their hatred, conspiracy spinning and killing.

A similar case will be tried in a state with more color and justice will be served there in response to the Rittenhouse verdict. It’ll happen within the next three years. That’s my prediction.

You know what is stupid? You're still trying to justify guns and think you can reach the verdict that you want. It doesn't work that way. Solution is simple: ban guns all over the place

He's got such a punchable face.

If you would ban guns you wouldn't have to write this bullshit. That's it. Don't be angry about the verdict. Be angry United States of America loves guns. RittenhouseTrial RittenhouseVerdict

What a joke ! Get over yourself ! Right verdict !

No... True justice prevailed. What was defeated was the hateful mob led by the media that unjustly tried to make guilty an innocent man. Everything needs to be done to protect this system from those yearn for mob justice
