CHICAGO — More than 1,000 people demonstrated Saturday to protest the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, rallying in Federal Plaza before marching throughout Downtown.
azmine Salas, an organizer with Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, said the protest was about showing demonstrators would not give in “to the racism and fear.”
“I think we’re in this moment where vigilantes are feeling very empowered. Their poster child Kyle just got off,” Salas said. “But I think as Chicagoans, as a majority Black and Brown city, we are extremely powerful. … Today it’s about really showing our power, not backing down.”

Demonstrators chanted “Indict, convict, send Rittenhouse to jail.”
“Too many times white men get away with killing,” activist Catlyn Savado said to the crowd gathered in front of the Thompson Center. “When a white person crosses state lines, and kills people, how are you not guilty? And the whole system is guilty, too.”

“Rittenhouse was protected when he walked into that courtroom. And he left that courtroom into a society built to protect him,” said Dod McColgan with the Chicago Alliance. “This verdict shows the system does not oppose vigilantes — it endorses and enables them.”
“The verdict is telling us to be silent — under the complete threat of violence,” activist Troy Gaston said.

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said Friday the verdict was a “miscarriage of justice.”

Legions of Useful Idiots...
Losers with nothing better to do.
The one important fact to take notice of is that they leftists are not riding in Kenosha. Thanks Mr. Rittenhouse!
The ‘stop trump era’ sign? I see that as pure hate. There is no validation to this claim, in fact, there is evidence to the contrary.
Notice the “Revcom” insignia on the sign. That denotes the revolutionary Communist organization. According to recent FR posts, this is a well-funded organization which has invited a lot of national riots.
Wow, I had no idea so many worship white pedophiles.
At first I thought they were joggers, but then I didn’t see any bolt-cutters or crowbars or anything.
Just peaceful protestors, I guess. We’ll have to ask the owners of the local shops tomorrow.
J Jackson doesn’t look too good...
And, of course, how many of that 1,000 stopped and did some civil rights shopping at a local store on the way home?
“We Won’t Give In ‘To The Racism And Fear”

“We Won’t Give In ‘To The Racism And Fear”

That's something BLM and Antifa were promoting big-time in the summer of 2020. They've only slowed it down a little.
But feel very comfortable dodging bullets every day.
Yeah Jesse Jackson looks like he’s a vegetable like Biden.
