Protesters marched in the Loop Friday night after the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisc. Tyler LaRiviere/Sun-TimesProtesters gathered in downtown Chicago Friday in the wake of the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
About three dozen people came together at Federal Plaza in a protest organized by the Party of Socialism and Liberation, bringing attention to what they deemed a “miscarriage of justice.”
Rittenhouse, 18, was acquitted of all charges after pleading self-defense in the deadly Kenosha shootings that became a flashpoint in the debate over guns, vigilantism and racial injustice in the U.S.
The verdict in the politically combustible case was met with anger and disappointment from those who saw Rittenhouse as a vigilante and a wannabe cop, and relief and vindication from those who regarded him as a patriot who wanted to stop lawlessness and exercised his Second Amendment right to carry a gun and to defend himself.
They need to change their name to Socialists against working as I bet better than half of them don't work and live in their mother's basement.
ReplyDeleteGreat comment!
DeleteMarxists plain and simple
DeleteI always thought the left today are the fascists.
ReplyDeleteWorkers? do these goofs even have a job or make a living?
ReplyDeleteSeems when the blacks in Chicago are freed by Kim before the paper work is even completed there are no protests about a miscarriage of justice.....shooting a little child in the head is ok. Where's the justice there?
ReplyDeleteMhhhmmmm.
Deletewho paid for those protest posters?
ReplyDeleteSoros, Hollywood, Silicon Valley
DeleteI wonder how many of these protesters return the jury summons from the Cook County Sheriff's office or have ever served on a jury.
ReplyDeleteLooks like about a dozen elementary school teachers were told their furry club meeting was cancelled and this is what they decided to do. Nice signs. Nothing says flash mob like profesionally produced signs.
ReplyDeleteEvery single person in that picture is White. I bet 1/2 are unemployed and on welfare but carry workers unite signs...
ReplyDeleteGOT 556??
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of odd that a very liberal Sun Times writer is of the opinion that the verdict was proper based on evidence and the law.
