How 12 ordinary Americans saved their country
American Thinker.com ^ | November 20, 2021 | Judy Sherwin

Posted on 11/20/2021 2:49:21 AM PST by Kaslin

At 12:17 P.M. Friday, while I was on a conference call, trying not to think about the trial going on in Kenosha, I got a text message from a good friend. "You called it. Acquitted on all counts."

I felt a profound sense of relief. I didn't even realize how tense I have been all week waiting for this. Watching the video of the moment they announced the verdicts on the indictment, I cried with him. I am sure many others in America did as well.

I know nothing of Kyle Rittenhouse other than what I have seen this past year. I do not know his family or friends. But I am familiar with lower Wisconsin — with Kenosha, where I have gone to shop, and with Racine, where good friends of mine live. This is an American, sensible, family-values Midwest area. It is peopled by all races, creeds, and colors who work together, who go to school together, and yes, who even worship together. Watching it overrun with thugs and lunatics in August of 2020, I was incredulous. But then I was incredulous most of the summer of 2020 as I watched night after night of the media and the Democrat Party shock troops destroying cities, courthouses and people's lives being used for no other reason than to win an election.

I was incredulous about a governor of Wisconsin who waited for three days and acted only after the events of August 25, who would not bring in the National Guard and seemed to want the chaos to continue — because he didn't want to look as if he agreed with President Trump.

Thank God.

Otherwise the Leftist terrorist mobs would have won.

When my wife heard the news in her car she cried. She had to compose herself before going into the store. “I didn’t realize until then how invested I was in Kyle and what it meant.”

...that, notwithstanding, elected far left loonies - that think like the prosecutor who called the thug rioters 'heros'... that told the police to stand down... that failed to protect citizens and businesses in order to favor criminal rioters.

I hope so. But the history of this country for the last 60 years has been one step forward, two steps back, one step forward, three steps back, one step forward ...

And thus do things get worse, despite the occasional good news.

My eyes got sweaty watching Kyle listen to the jury results, I don’t mind admitting.

In a just world Ziminski and Grosskreutz would now be charged and tried. And head kick man, too.

Actually, in a just world, Kyle would never have been charged and tried, and all 3 of them would have been already.

For ME-the entire trial and finally the jury decision, are further and FINAL proof of JUST how out-of-touch the media and the DNC are!

To me, and I bet to millions here in the US and other parts of the world....

.......RYAN IS A HERO!
( & I don’t use the word HERO lightly!!!)

He was David slaying Goliath....with Goliath being the MSM, Democrats, President, Deep State, etc.

He was ‘Everyman’ setting out to right the wrongs in his little town!
He was COURAGE!!!!

Great Post.

What Goliath put this 17-year old teen through, now 18 years old, was on display for all the world to see.

Easy to understand. A lot of people were holding their breaths waiting to see if evil would once again triumph in this country. We have endured so much evil and corruption that the acquittal literally seemed like a cool refreshing rain from the hand of God. So yeah, it was emotional for a lot of people.
