The full acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse is now in. The result was hardly a surprise to many of us who watched the trial rather than the media coverage. The jury spent days carefully considering the evidence and could not find a single count that was supported beyond a reasonable doubt.
In rendering its verdict, the jury fulfilled its core function in our legal system. The jury was designed to protect an individual from becoming the grist of a criminal justice system. As the Supreme Court noted in Duncan v. Louisiana (1968):
"Providing an accused with the right to be tried by a jury of his peers gave him an inestimable safeguard

I think people are beginning to wake up and see how dishonest the democrat controlled media is. Soon they will no more journalistic credibility than the old Soviet Unions TASS, where all their citizens knew it was BS.

As a part of "everyone" I am not angrier. I had already placed the media in the correct space: the garbage. No TV in my house since 1984, and no democrat-controlled newspaper. I note also that one of the best progress in medicine has been the removal of all Time or Newsweek magazines from doctor offices.

At twenty years old I returned from war. What I lived and what I witnessed on television at home were two different stories. Cronkite, young Rather along with Nuttly and Stinky were liars and manipulators. I told my parents that but their response were they can't lie there's a law against that. Well here we are and I'm still right it's why everything I question knowing it's a lie to manipulate the real ignorant. The left plays the long game repeat the lie day in and day out until everyone believes it's the truth. The latest is the trial of Rittenhouse but the left has doubled down on their lie so let's see the results.

If one of the mainstream media outlets would move to the center, not even the right, they would rake it in. If CBS, or ABC would just call things straight, they would dominate the ratings. If for no other reason, one of them should do it.

If #4 and others want proof about the nightly lies that Cronkite told on his broadcast, get a copy of John O'Neill's Swift Boat book that came out in 2004. He wrote a devastating expose' not only of Kerry, but of Cronkite and others, who by the way, are hanging in Hanoi's Hall of Heroes museum. He included an actual quote from the General who was in charge of the North's military. The guy said they were within six weeks of surrender, but Cronkite's lies about the war gave their morale a boost. Cronkite literally stole the victory from our boys.
Our media has been crooked for decades, and Cronkite is the founder of all the corruption and lies in this profession. They have zero credibility, for they willfully enable all the corruption to happen instead of writing about it in their publications.

People who believe what the Enemedia put out, are living in a world that does not exist. They believe huge swaths of things which are not real, not true, not factual.....yet, in their dim, lazy, hazy, disinformed, misinformed lives....they believe lots of non-factual, even counter-factual things.
And almost ALL that is known this event, as known from "the media", is misinformation - from the false information about Blake being shot. The media was reporting he was unarmed, a lie, he had a knife, and the he was not doing anything wrong, when he had assaulted the owner the vehicle and was trying to steal it and kidnap two children, and was resisting arrest with violence.....reaching for the knife, when shot.
And he was often reported "murdered" by police in various social media misinformation cases, when he is very much alive.
And then almost ALL the pertinent facts were omitted from the Rittenhouse case, and lies generously slathered over the scene by the media. "Illegal weapon", "white supremacist", and lots more.....ALL lies. And the facts that all three who were shot were criminals, including a convicted child rapist? Invisible in 95% of the media. That Rittenhouse was a lifeguard in Kenosha, his father lived in Kenosha, and that he was a Fire Cadet learning to put out fires and first aid.....on his own time -- ALL ignored by 95% of the media. The truth is that he is a very civic minded young man, genuinely interested in learning how to help people. Going to help prevent the riot, provide first aid and put out fires.....totally in character with a person who wants to help.
That he spent the earlier part of the day cleaning up grafitti.......ignored in the media. That he did provide first aid....ignored. That there was an interview by a 'citizen journalist' of Mr. Rittenhouse a short time prior to the shootings, where he talked about helping people with his prominent first aid kit on his belt, and his fire extinguishing capability, and only mentioned the rifle, slung unobtrusively on his back when asked.....'to defend myself'.
No bluster, no bravado, no threats, just expressing his intent to help people and, if necessary, defend himself.
The media are mostly just evil propagandists. They want to obscure the truth for their leftist hate propaganda purposes.

Mission Accomplished! (multiplying domestic unrest is a key part of the mainstream media's strategy for facilitating the Woke Revolution)

Jury was unanimous on Day 1of deliberations, found self defense on the charges pertaining to Jump kick/Huber on the 17th. Found self defense on Grosscrotch on the 18th.
That was a Mob of four people all attacking Rittenhouse at once, while he was down on the ground, on his back.. CLEARLY 100% self defense, fully on film, no room for ANY doubt(attacker 4 was a guy in a red shirt, that turned and ran as soon as kyle swung his gun that way) Jury was "Normal People"
Only the Rosenbaum charge was left still under debate by the 19th, not so clear on film, single assailant...and after careful consideration that TOO was found to be self defense.(One wonders if the last minute, clearer, video the prosecutors dropped sealed the deal for Acquittal,the Jury ignoring the specious claim of "Provocation" at the beginning of it, and being able to see more clearly the actual confrontation that ended it.)
