On November 19, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in the shootings of Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz in Kenosha, WI. His defense established that the teenager was acting in self-defense; the prosecution was unable to prove otherwise. Even media outlets not aligned with the conservative view were constrained to observe that among the “undisputed facts” of the case are that Rosenbaum chased and later advanced on Rittenhouse when he stood his ground; that Huber hit him with a skateboard and lunged for his rifle; and that Grosskreutz pointed a handgun at him.
Yet, the young man continues to be vilified. Students for Socialism, an avowedly Marxist-Leninist student club at Arizona State University (ASU), is rallying to deny Rittenhouse “further admission” to the university. (He is no longer enrolled there, though he had taken an online course in nursing earlier.) In its petitions, the group describes him as a “racist killer” and says that “even with a not-guilty verdict from a flawed justice system -- Kyle Rittenhouse is still guilty in the eyes of the people.”
Similarly, an opinion piece describes him as a “young armed vigilante killing unarmed protesters.” It says he was “given a pass” for “roaming the streets of Kenosha with an AR-15.” House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler has threatened a Department of Justice investigation against Rittenhouse for interference in a protest protected by the First Amendment. It’s amazing how the Left quotes the very Constitution it has been abusing and tearing up when it suits its purpose.
It doesn’t matter to Nadler and others like him that many at the Antifa/BLM-organized Kenosha protest in August 2020 were armed with guns, chains, and bats. Nor does it matter to them that Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz had criminal records.

How stupid is this author?
We have been watching the left engage in selective enforcement of laws and selective outrage for decades!
Where has this idiot been living?
Know nothing House Judiciary Chair Jerry “The Pantload” Nadler.....threatened a DOJ investigation of Rittenhouse for “interfering in a protest protected by the First Amendment.*
SNORT-—Nadler quotes the very Constitution the Left considers irrelevant.
Nadler said the Antifa/BLM-organized Kenosha protest in August 2020 armed with guns, chains, and bats was a “peaceful protest.”
I am waiting for a knockoff Kyle Rittenhouse signature series AR-15.
Conservative Inc. can stop writing about Rittenhouse. It’s over, the good guys won, and we should be on to new leftist attacks.
I agree whole heartedly.
Some would say keep beating the left and its propaganda media over the head with it at all times to neutralize them publicly as well as keep reminding the average person how wrong and evil these people are.
Leftist Newscaster: Donald Trump incited a riot on Jan 6 and should be put in jail.
American Guest: There you go again. Remember when you and your station lied about Kyle Rittenhouse attacking innocent peaceful protestors who were weren’t protestors and were actually trying to kill him? Seems you refused to change your ways greatly harms our great country when you use deliberate misinformation....
News cycles all have a point of diminishing return, even for resounding victories. How American Thinker.com & Townhall can still offer articles about KR is beyond me given the target rich environment we live in.
“He said his ‘bloodbath’ comment had been taken out of context and was a broader reference to the mortgage market.”
He is right about that. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Fed last week all but promised that the days of super-low loan interest rates will soon be ending. He seems very attuned here, at least to me.
Nadler is just one of the natural-born liars in Congress, such as Schiff, and Schumer. Coupled with the natural-born liars of the media (Zucker, Oppenheim, Goldberg, Tapper, etc) and Big Tech (Zuckerberg, etc), they are like a hammer and anvil and our country is the one that is being hammered.
Students for Socialism the media and Hollywood still mum on the Waukesha massacre.
Outrage is a selective issue with morons.
