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.”

I lived in Berzerkeley from the early 80’s to mid 90’s. These commie pukes were very active in the Bay Area even then.

This is the results of the “race cards” played at every turn by the Dems. The entire country is a mess in so many ways...

He’s only 80. Data indicates leftys with Platinum health plans tend to live almost forever (Soros, Carter, Castro, etc).

All of this is really familiar: well-made signs, mass demonstrations, celebrities at the front, and the fist insignia on the poster. All hallmarks of the Socialist Worker’s Party ever since the Vietnam days and before.

Haven’t lost their sense of irony - honestly, a protest against a guy defending himself in the murder capital of the planet Earth? Too funny - but remember - they were the ones that enthusiastically supported the North Vietnamese enemy while claiming that they were rioting for “peace”.

Rittenhouse GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

No. There was a trial and the jury decided not guilty, in spite of what communist street trash wanted.

I used to know an old man who had been a communist guerilla in Albania in WW2. Enver Hoxha he had been his schoolteacher. After the war, my friend’s job was to hold trials for people accused of collaborating with the fascist enemy. He endeavored to hold fair trials and if he found that the accused were not guilty, he let them go. To the communists, all the accused were guilty by default, and they accused my friend of being a fascist too. Otherwise, how could he have found anyone not guilty?

That is how communists hold trials — guilty, guilty, guilty — when it suits their purposes.

God smiled on my friend. He escaped to Greece, took refuge among some Orthodox Christians, joined the church, came to America, and had a good life.

I wonder if these idiots even realize that the three violent vigilantes that attacked Kyle Rittenhouse were all white.
