Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, is on trial for killing two men and wounding a third with a rifle during a turbulent night of protests that erupted in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He has just been cleared of all charges. You have to believe in the justice system. It's not perfect but it is all we have. I hope he can find a safe place to be for awhile. There are already protestors outside the court house, for days now. Count 1: First Degree Reckless Homicide - Not Guilty Count 2: First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety - Not Guilty Count 3: First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety - Not Guilty Count 4: First Degree Intentional Homicide - Not Guilty Count 5: Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide - Not Guilty
The jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has found him not guilty on all five counts.

Oh I was so happy to hear about this. FREEDOM! Our rights are still intact and that is a good thing. I hope that it stays peaceful here, I live about 2 miles from the court house so kind of hits close to home for me.

@CarolDM I think for sure it did. Oh, I plan on staying in the house for the night and I am certainly "ready" if you know what I mean.

I am so happy! Thank goodness! Also, keep praying for Kyle and his family that God will protect them. There are crazy people out there that could try to hurt them or murder them. The people against this verdict are not sane.

Yes, exactly. All of Kyle's attackers had criminal records and questionable characters to say the least. Sad, a teen who was only there to help out his father (who lived in the area) and friends who had businesses to protect, will now suffer from PTSD and nightmares for the rest of his life for protecting his... A terrible price to pay for cleaning off BLM/Antifa graffiti.

It would have been a travesty of justice if Kyle was found guilty. Even with all the media pressure and misinformation by CNN and MSNBC and other liberal news outlets the jury was not intimidated, they saw the video for what it was, (thugs with criminal backgrounds looking for trouble and to hurt people), and came to the correct verdict!

Um gulp. That young man killed people. His Mother abetted him. IF I had done that I would have been nailed to the wall. IF I was black I would have been thrice nailed to the wall. God help this country and its lack of decency.

@CarolDM White supremacy goes way further than the beef between blacks and whites. Its about being a pure race. So if I was a Cardinal bird and the head bird thought I did not do something the head bird liked he would want me snuffed out. I could be a gay cardinal bird, a purple cardinal bird, a gypsy cardinal bird and it doesn't fit the bill, then out I would go. On a rail.

@sallypup I have to agree with your statement but my comment was about Biden calling him a white supremacist when there is no evidence to support that comment. He made a broad stroke.

According to Biden, he is a white supremacist. How dare him make that statement about anybody. No blacks were involved. And he defended himself. It was kill or be killed.

I'll admit I was a bit surprised that justice prevailed in this case with the judge having to ban some of the news media because of their stalking the jurors and him. I am glad it the jurors were able to take in the facts and not buckle under pressure.
