Photo: Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images Kyle Rittenhouse did it, there’s no question about that. The Illinois native traveled to Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year, when he was 17, during protests over police brutality, to act as a medic but instead behaved as a killer, fatally shooting two men and wounding a third. Yet on Friday, a jury decided in his favor, having concluded that prosecutors had not adequately met the burden of proving he committed murder.
There was never any catharsis to be had here. Whatever happened to Rittenhouse, his victims would still be dead and he would still be a hero to the right. Jails do not rehabilitate; they devour and ruin. Yet without even the merest slap from the jurors, there is no acknowledgement of wrongdoing, no sense that justice has been done. It is obvious — it has been obvious — that the forces that produced Rittenhouse and his forgiving jury and his lenient judge are all the same.
Rittenhouse is not the only vigilante the right embraces. As protesters filled American streets, demanding justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Elijah McClain and so many others, they faced physical threats from the police and from the public, too. People began striking them with cars.

onesarahjones Hatred of rioters produced the Rittenhouse jury. You will always find someone on a jury who will support shooting a rioter.
onesarahjones How about we have fewer violent leftist criminals? If the left would stop trying to defund the police and bail out violent felons, we would not need KyleRittenhouses. Leftists torch buildings. They need to stop. Stop rioting.
onesarahjones ya think?

onesarahjones No doubt the Michigan protester regret now they didn’t use their gun THE RIGHT LIKE TO BRING GUN IN PROTEST NOW THEY WILL USE THEM CLAIM SELF DEFENSE
onesarahjones Okay, so what happens when radicals on the left start packing at protests? Everyone with a gun will have a defense?
