, and I don’t know what to do with it. I’ve been saturated in the breaking-news stories as he was cleared of all charges, and I feel I have to do more than absorb all of this and move on.
Where do we even start? Let’s first get on the same page. If you’re not completely up-to-date, rioting erupted in Wisconsin in August 2020 after Jacob Blake was shot seven times by police. Armed with a semiautomatic rifle, Rittenhouse, a former police and fire department cadet, voluntarily went into the city with the intention, according to him, of protecting property.
It automatically feels wrong, doesn’t it? That a boy with no skin in the game is traveling to the inner city to protect it? It’s not his home, it’s not his family under threat; he is not shielding anybody he knows personally. He could have sat at home and minded his business, and Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber would be alive. But the legal case didn’t rest on Rittenhouse’s intention at the scene. It simply didn’t matter, legally speaking, why he was there.
The defense was able to argue that every shot was self-defensive: Rosenbaum was unable to fill his prescription for bipolar-disorder medication and, as a result, was acting erratically; Huber attacked Rittenhouse with the skateboard to the point of threatening his life; Grosskreutz, a medic, pointed a pistol at Rittenhouse. They successfully argued that each and every time he fired, Rittenhouse’s life was in immediate danger and he was protecting it. That’s it, that’s the verdict.
I’ve watched some of Rittenhouse’s emotional testimony—the judge issues a time-out because of the defendant’s sobbing—and there’s no question in my mind that the young man is remorseful, that he’s aware of the severity of both his actions and their consequences. What’s astounding to me is that a jury of his peers decided that, legally, there shouldSo where does that leave us? I know that America’s issue with guns cannot be resolved in 600 words today.

Fewer riots, fewer lives lost, fewer businesses burned to the ground, fewer criminals looting. It's not JUST guns.
It's not broken he shot in self-defense
or better yet they can actually put people they know are guilty in jail and them a real guilty verdict
He killed, or they would kill him.
There would have been no shooting if there weren’t ppl attacking him. There wouldn’t have been a tragedy if ppl were not burning the city.
He was innocent. Vogue, you believed the disinformation. Look at the evidence. You are preveyors of hatred.
Kyle Rittenhouse should not be walking free & unpunished. He murdered…doesn’t that mean anything to people?
They better cool off ,that's the food belt that Herod coup of JFK,is kicking between the knees
Never gonna happen, Vogue
