Rittenhouse is Free …but is He? By Charles Taylor (Florida)
Working backwards, the Left are already devising ways to go after Kyle Rittenhouse again, claiming that any decision other than being drawn and quartered and executed after racial humiliation, is a miscarriage of justice. That is my takeaway from reading the crazed posts by Leftoids, particularly the Hollywood set. But, law makers are having their go too.
“Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) urged the Justice Dept. to review the not guilty verdict handed down in the Kyle Rittenhouse case Friday, claiming it represented a “miscarriage of justice.”
Reacting to the verdict on Twitter, the House Judiciary chairman falsely claimed the 18-year-old Rittenhouse crossed state lines armed and looking for trouble.
“This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ,” the top Democrat tweeted.
“Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest.”
Rep. Nadler is dead wrong, however, as Kenosha News reported Rittenhouse was not armed when he drove to Wisconsin.
The Independent notes, “It’s not clear exactly how a Justice Department review of the case would play out, as the agency only has the power to investigate law enforcement agencies. It has no power to ‘intervene on matters of state law’, according to its own website.”
On Friday, a jury delivered not guilty verdicts on all five charges Rittenhouse was facing.
Nadler’s remarks came as Joe Biden initially expressed support for the jury’s verdict, then later released a statement claiming he was “angry and concerned” about the decision.
“I stand by what the jury has to say. The jury system works,” Biden told reporters outside the White House.
A statement later released by the White House, however, claimed Biden was “angry and concerned” over the acquittal, and told Americans with similar sentiments to “express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law.”
With the two top Democrats nearly echoing similar language, it would not be surprising to see federal charges against Rittenhouse in the near future.
Looks like Kyle’s not fully out of the woods yet.”

“Reports suggest multiple protests are planned across the U.S. after the jury decided to acquit Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges.
Twitter account "Raws Alerts" reports protests are being planned in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the trial was held. National Guard troops are on standby for action if social unrest breaks out.
Comments outside the protest include one individual who said, "when it's a state-sanctioned murder, you get to riot."
