Kyle Rittenhouse Acquitted on All Charges
Watch my live video report and reaction to the verdict.
 |
The 18-year-old defendant Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted by a jury of his peers on all charges on Friday afternoon. Rittenhouse, accused of various counts of murders stemming from his shooting of three people at a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020, insisted that he acted in legitimate self defense. A unanimous jury appeared to agree, and Rittenhouse is now a free man.
I will have much more to say on this verdict and the reaction to it, but immediately after the verdict was delivered, I went live on Rumble to provide my views of why, after having watched the entire trial, I believed this verdict was just, and why the media narrative was particularly deceitful and morally repellent. The video is 45-minutes long and can be watched here, at this link.
Justice, Fairness, Equality... all these principles are Universal values.
As a Muslim Middle Eastern American, I cried and screamed with joy and happiness when Kyle Rittenhouse found NOT guilty. I hope he has a good long life and never finds himself in any trouble, again.
I also hope that we can create and fund better Civil Liberty organizations than the pathetic ACLU to represent *poor* innocent defendants with *good* lawyers against these *horrific* prosecutors, who just want to put them in prison.
Apparently in the case of poor people, many cases don't even come to the courtrooms because they cannot hire good lawyers to defend their innocence. So, they just take the plea deal where the prosecutor provides a concession to the defendant in exchange for a plea of guilt.
Even if the prosecutors send ONE innocent poor man to prison, it creates a multiplier effect that more poor people believe there will be no real justice for them. That's a huge problem.
Do NOT forget that the poor doesn’t have any skin color.
Why was this such a huge deal? For US Citizens, the right to defend yourself was on trial. Thank God, JUSTICE, common sense and decency won over hyperbole, lies, and authoritarianism.
