Journalism professor Nikole Hannah-Jones spreads Rittenhouse trial falsehoods

Howard University journalism Professor Nikole Hannah-Jones quickly took to spreading falsehoods about Kyle Rittenhouse after his verdict.

A Kenosha County, Wisconsin jury on Friday found Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts stemming from his August 2020 killing of two people and wounding a third who attacked him during a riot.

In response to the verdict, Hannah-Jones, who touted her Pulitzer Prize award when applying for a journalism teaching job at the University of North Carolina, repeated falsehoods about the facts of the case.

“Even if you feel the jury got it right for legal reasons, what kind of person are you to celebrate *someone* who went armed to a protest with an illegal gun and killed two people,” she tweeted on Friday. But Judge Bruce Schroeder had ruled prior to the jury decision that Rittenhouse did not carry an illegal gun under Wisconsin state law.

Hannah-Jones also repeated the falsehood that Rittenhouse carried the gun illegally into Wisconsin.

If you do not subject yourself to their indoctrination you may tend to write the wrong things!

If you want to do journalism, write! You don't need a college-level school to teach you that.

Generating effective leftist agitation and propaganda requires years of training--nobody is born knowing how to do that.

Interesting legal theory being promoted. Will they start determining who is at fault in traffic accidents based on whether the victim had a good reason to be on the road?

Did you REALLY need to go to the store for ice-cream?

Oh don’t get me wrong.. I’m not saying he “shouldn’t have been there”.. Not anymore.

He’s an American and me nor anyone can question his freedom to do as he chooses. And he’s been proven to be completely within the law in those decisions.

Going to a protest to protect a couple cars and a building isn’t what I would do - But I’m not him. Personally I’ve been drilled that no property in the world is worth my life or the lives of others to defend.

But if he wanted to be there to help out, then that’s his right.
