    This Trial will be remembered as one of the Ages for self defense and a affirmation of the 2nd Amendment.

    I don't think vandalism is a great solution to solving the issue. Vandalism and violence is the root of the issue here.

    Isn't that the sort of thinking and behavior that led to this whole mess over a year ago? :what:

    While I do think that would feel SO DAMN GOOD!, that is not the correct way of dealing with them....at this point yet anyway.

    A much better solution would be to...

    1) Simply do not watch them, click on their website, forward their stories...
    2)Don't buy any products advertised on any of their media...boycott any business doing business with them.
    3) Push our "leaders" in government to get serious about finding legal ways of removing their FCC license.
    4) Elect a POTUS that full on backs up point 3

    Carrier pigeon. Mine got delayed this morning.

    There are planned protests for Birmingham, AL that were penned for even just one count of Not Guilty. So I won't be going into the city, at all, for awhile.

    Chicago chapter of "Party for Socialism and Liberation" also planned protest tonight starting at 6 PM at Federal Plaza - https://www.facebook.com/PSLChicago

    Looks like it's going to be "big" ... So far 17 people are going with about 3 hours to go. :)

    On CNN, former federal prosecutor explains why Rittenhouse was not an "active shooter" and found not guilty of shooting three people in self defense.

    Unhinged, definitely, but "he"? Isn't "reidout" the infamous Joy Reid?

    In closing, as a former resident of Kenosha, current resident of Wisconsin, and one of many who have followed this saga from it’s first days , I will state this:

    If the Kenosha Mayor Antaramian and Wisconsin Governor Evers had done their jobs and utilized availability resources to control and subdue the riots as soon as they broke out - rather than issue stand down orders and allow the lawless to run amok for THREE STRAIGHT NIGHTS - citizens would not have felt compelled take up arms and none of this would ever had happened.

    I’m not sure I agree. If he ever did have any money his legal bills took it away. No lawyer is going to take a civil case where their take is 30% of a garnishment of an 18 year-old kids McDonalds paycheck.

    Footnote to “In closing”:
    The lead detective in the case in question is a nephew to the mayor.
    Meaningless coincidence, I’m sure…

    The biggest concern I see isn't the verdict -- it's that so many people considered it less than open-and-shut. This trial will play in the mind of any person in the aftermath of a justified self-defensive shooting, and cast doubt on whether involving police is the safe course of action. I suspect we will see more flight by otherwise innocent individuals in the future, as faith in courts and juries erodes.

    I find it fitting I was at the range shooting when the not guilty came out.

    It is Joy Reid's blog, but it apparently has other writers, in this case Ja'han Jones

    Which civil action? The potential suit from Gaige Grosskreutz or family members of the downed criminals, or the civil lawsuits he's entitled to against all of the media that defamed him (to include our moronic President) before and during the trial? I'd say he's in just as good a position as Nick Sandmann was for defamation lawsuits against the people (media and President) who called him "racist, white supremacist and vigilante".

    Thank you Kyle.

    He is a HERO for the 2nd and today was a major victory.

    For all the attaboys - from my lane, Rittenhouse's attorney says he is suffering from significant PTSD. That's not trivial and you can thank him but he's not out life difficulties. Let's be real that the verdict was correct but he made a personal major mistake by being there. He needs time and professional help to establish his life. He does not need to be sucked into a whirlwind of political exploitation just to make gun folks feel all happy.

    Having killed two people has had significant effects on many folks who had to do this in clear, heroic circumstances. Not everyone but his lawyer says he does.

    Ditto that. It's time for all sides to just leave him alone to get on with his life as best as he can. Prayers and best wishes, Kyle.

    My best friend also watches them and listens to radio programs of similar bent, for the reason you state. Personally I don't have the stomach for such. Good that people like you are available to summarize for people like me.

    I already received a request for additional donations, ostensibly from the mom.

    Isn't is a shame though, that we are surprised that the jury followed the rule of law, as they should have?
