Three White People were shot by a White Guy! A Civil Rights violation!
I wonder if our "leaders" actually believe this bullshit or they're just stirring the pot. They do immensely illogical and downright stupid things all the time. Do they just do this to keep us distracted?

They want the division, all the better to impose the Neolib-con Oligarchy. Using minorities to control the majority is an old tactic: Both the French and British employed it in the 19th Century all over the world.
owever, a jury found that all the people shot that night had it coming. For a jury to accept self-defense as an acceptable plea to a murder charge, it had to find Rittenhouse reasonably believed his life to be in danger..
I can see the resemblance.
He is an evil SOB. Hopefully his next pastrami is grease laden enough to send him into a diabetic coma.

Fat Jerry Nadler Calls for Federal Review of the Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict and the Threat Is Real
"This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest."
Legally, this is just stupid. Crossing state lines does not make something a federal offense. A crime has to be involved. As Rittenhouse was acquitted of all state crimes, it is rather difficult to see how crossing a state line amounts to anything. The people shot by Rittenhouse might, arguably, have been participating in a constitutionally protected act of rioting, larceny, assault, and arson falls into those categories.
However, a jury found that all the people shot that night had it coming. For a jury to accept self-defense as an acceptable plea to a murder charge, it had to find Rittenhouse reasonably believed his life to be in danger. In the case of Huber, he responded to an assault intended to kill or incapacitate him. Lefty Grosskreutz admitted, under oath, that he was only shot after he pointed his own illegal firearm at Rittenhouse. Rosenbaum was a child rapist who quite possibly was driven mad by lust when he attacked Rittenhouse.
The only “dangerous precedent” that could have been set–that would be making it illegal to defend yourself when someone is trying to kill you–was averted by a jury that stood fast against threats and intimidation.
Just because Nadler’s tweet is incredibly stupid doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
I have no doubt the Department of Justice is looking for some way to intervene here. Merrick Garland, you’ll recall, is the guy who labeled parents who attended school board meetings as “domestic terrorists” and sicced the FBI on them (Biden’s Justice Department Announces It Considers School Board Protests to Be Threats and Promises Action) in response to urging from the White House (‘Actively Engaged’ — Biden White House in Bed With NSBA Prior to ‘Domestic Terror’ Letter). A statement like Biden’s probably set off an uncontrollable bout of submissive urination on the part of Garland.
Keep in mind that even though such an attempt to literally make a federal case out of the Kenosha shootings would definitely fail, the process is the punishment. Right now, you have people being held in solitary, in cells without running water or functioning toilets, for nearly a year on nothing more substantial than a jaywalking ticket. Throwing Rittenhouse in jail, subjecting him to brutal and inhumane treatment, running up his attorney’s fees, and generally screwing with his life is something our Department of Justice is very, very good at, even if it sucks at just about everything else.
