“Shooting unarmed citizens is fundamentally wrong,” wrote Gov. JB Pritzker in his statement on the Rittenhouse verdict, which is pasted below.
Moment in the video when Rittenhouse shot rioter aiming a pistol at him. That’s a lie. Pritzker should retract the statement and apologize. One had a pistol pointed at Rittenhouse at the moment Rittenhouse fired, captured in video.
More fundamentally, Pritzker knows full well that it is entirely appropriate and lawful to use a gun in self-defense when facing imminent bodily harm of any kind, which the jury rightly concluded was shown by the evidence respecting each of the three who were shot.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s statement says “we must respect the jury’s decision” but then is somehow able to say “What Kyle Rittenhouse did was reckless, dangerous, and showed an utter disregard for human life.”
That’s absurd. The charges rejected by the jury expressly included recklessly endangering safety and misuse of a dangerous weapon. If you accept the verdict you cannot claim that Rittenhouse acted recklessly or dangerously.
Both Pritzker and Lightfoot went on to express sympathy for those who were shot, all of whom had ugly criminal records. They expressed no sympathy whatsoever for countless victims of the riots.
Lightfoot added, “Let us also remember and pray for Jacob Blake,” who was shot by Kenosha police, sparking the riots.

They are both wrong.
Don’t bring a skateboard to a gunfight.

Pritzker doesn’t go around with armed body guards?
If he doesn’t, he should.
As of 19 hours ago, 4 dead and 21 shot in ChiCongo this weekend
Things always slow down in the cold weather.....
None of us who reside in HELLINOIS should be surprised at the sheer ignorance and stupidity that comea out of the lesbian mayor or fatass Pricksters mouths. If you are, you haven’t been paying attention.
Idiots. One attacker was armed with a Glock 27 pistol that was aimed at the victim, resulting in a “it’s me or him” situation. Another attacker was armed with a skateboard that he was using to bash in the victim’s head. The third attacker was neutralized as he tried to take the victim’s firearm away from him.
Another distraction for Mayor Lighthead and Governor Putzker for open crime city of Chicago.. Anything to take the peasants attention away from the real issues.
Prickster’s bodyguards carry only cap guns to protect His Largeness.
Since that doesn't apply to Rittenhouse maybe he's talking about another case. I'm thinking of Michael Byrd, who killed the unarmed citizen Ashli Babbitt on January 6.
Define unarmed. In this case, one had a gun point at the kid, one hit him numerous time with an assault skateboard, one kicked him the head with a full auto sneaker, etc. it’s know the kid’ s fault they others brought a knife to a gun fight. After all the Commies issued the invite, too bad their members did not understand...
News At Eleven? *SNORT*
*Crickets Chirping*
I can tell you this much- THIS Illinois voter is pretty pissed at other Illinois voters….
Agree wholeheartedly!
If a police officer ends up shooting someone and they drove 21 miles to where the shooting happened is that automatically a wrongful shooting? Of course the people Kyle Rittenhouse was forced to shoot were armed, or in the process of arming themselves in Mr. Rosenbaum's case.
Correction: Chicago voters, not Illinois voters. Chicago has been a cesspool of election fraud for decades.

What ugly people... no wonder Chicago's turning into a sh*thole...
