Literally legally hispanic

Hi Shouty @SholaMos1, just in case you are not aware Kyle Rittenhouse is listed by the police as Hispanic.

All his victims were stuffed with "white privilege." pic.twitter.com/J0vYnX70rv

Rep. Cori Bush

The judge. The jury. The defendant.

It’s white supremacy in action.

This system isn’t built to hold white supremacists accountable. It’s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free.

I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken.

Mayor Bill de Blasio

Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims. They should be alive today.

The only reason they’re not is because a violent, dangerous man chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people.

To call this a miscarriage of justice is an understatement. https://t.co/TwaI2ghgM5

Dem illinois Governer:

Carrying a loaded gun into a community 20 miles from your home and shooting unarmed citizens is fundamentally wrong.

We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist.

This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed.

Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu

Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal is because he’s white

He’s as guilty as hell. A Black boy in the EXACT circumstances would’ve been killed by police or sentenced to life/death

Biased judge, practically White jury & systemic racist justice system in his favour.

White privilege stinks

Klu Klux Kyle

Ku Klux Kyle found not guilty on all charges by jury. A case of #WhitePrivilege and Vigilante justice, very dangerous. Am disgusted

Sets horrible example inviting more similar deadly violence in future & travesties in the courtroom. Judges this biased should not sit on any bench

Saw a great meme. Kyle Rittenhouse is the equivalent of someone jumping in the lions den at the zoo and then shooting the animals in self defense. He had no reason to be in Kenosha that day. No reason at all.

1/What defines innocence in America? Tamir Rice was executed for playing with a toy. Nobody was charged. Ahmaud Arbery went jogging and was murdered in broad daylight. Rittenhouse armed himself and killed people who were fighting for racial justice. He claimed self-defense. pic.twitter.com/Em0qIOgaOp
