18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, was recently acquitted on two counts of murder in the shoot deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and for wounding 26-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz. Rittenhouse killed both during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Washington. America is divided by the case, as Rittenhouse claims the killings were self-defense, but video footage illustrated it was no such thing.

 

Recently, Rittenhouse told television host Tucker Carlson that he supports the Black Lives Matter movement. However, this is another contradiction and lie from Rittenhouse. During his trial, Rittenhouse was seen making white power hand signs with supporters, as seen in the photo above.

Some are stating Rosenbaum (pedophile) Huber (rape, domestic violence) and Grosskreutz (multiple crimes such as felony burglary) were convicted criminals. Yes, the aforementioned men committed serious crimes and I do not agree with such behavior. However, my concern is a person, Rittenhouse, thinks he can play judge, jury and executioner, summarily killing whomever he feels like. That is evil and undemocratic.

 

Just because Rittenhouse killed criminals and the courts inexplicably acquitted him, setting a terrible precedent, doesn't mean next time it would be used as grounds to kill you or one of your loved ones for simply being at a lawful protest or walking on what they deem is the wrong side of the street.

White supremacists could use the Rittenhouse verdict to kill black people. Black power groups could also use the Rittenhouse verdict to kill white people. None of this is good. Is this what you want society devolved into; race and hate based killing sprees, ugly and globally embarrassing court trials being corrupted by a judge and defense team, and the general public worldwide questioning the integrity of the justice system.
