Jen Psaki, as a representative of the White House, calls for "peaceful protests" for the US legal process doing what it was supposed to do, because the White House doesn't like the result.

A black acquaintance of mine has a funny take on Rittenhouse and self defense.

So, much like when Trump at his Jan 6th rally told everyone to be peaceful Biden should now be held personally responsible for any rioting after the Rittenhouse verdict.
I'm also concerned that this may signal impending federal intervention in the case.

I can't think of anything federal they could go after him for, except maybe firearm straw purchase.  Even though he Crossed State Linesâ„¢, he didn't do so for any unlawful purpose so what difference does it make (Mann Act?)

They will find something, even if they have to make it up out of whole cloth.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

And the ACLU has weighed in:

If riots start, it will be because of the White House, the MSM, and big tech, especially Twitter.

The White House calls for "peaceful protests":

I presume that "peaceful protest" is a dog whistle for rioting.

You could tell as the verdicts were being read the first one didn’t quite sink in right away.  By the third he was doing everything he could to hold his composure, and after the final one was read he instantly lost it.  The emotions of his whole life suddenly flowing back to him must have been incredible and overwhelming.

I am surprised: I thought it would be a mixed bag of not guilty on the major charges and guilty on the lesser ones (counts 2 and 3).

Honest question.  Was that what though would happen, or what you thought should happen?  I was in the former camp for quite a while myself, especially as the deliberations dragged on into today.

The Wisconsin Lt Governor weighed in. This should help keep things calm:

Quote
Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who is Black and a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, reacted bitterly to the outcome.

“Over the last few weeks, many dreaded the outcome we just witnessed," Barnes said. "The presumption of innocence until proven guilty is what we should expect from our judicial system, but that standard is not always applied equally. We have seen so many black and brown youth killed, only to be put on trial posthumously, while the innocence of Kyle Rittenhouse was virtually demanded by the judge.”

I wonder if the prosecutions plan all along was to force a mistrial?

There was such an overwhelming amount of evidence that the actual encounter(s) were self defense, what else could they have been thinking?

That means the judge and to a lesser extent the defense didn't take the bait despite the prosecutions provocations.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

President Biden stands by jury ruling in Kyle Rittenhouse trial

President Biden said he stands by what the jury concluded in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, which declared Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges filed against him.

President Biden made the statement while responding to past comments by Joe Biden's then-presidential campaign which compared Rittenhouse to a White supremacist.
