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.”

Too funny. The Black Communists tote out Jesse Jackson, who looks even worse than Joe Biden, as their figurehead for the march.
Fooking idiots.
Didn’t see that sign.
However I did go to the refusefascism.org website. Now I gotta go take a shower...
A white guy shoots three white felons who attack him, and this is racism?! Obviously these people are deficient in IQ and logical thinking and consumed with blind hatred and escape into fantasy.
CPAC ... hmmm
Surely that banner wasn’t printed by the Conservative Party of America Committee... lol
Friggin commies are very good at using idiots.
“Over 1,000 Protest Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict In Downtown Chicago: We Won’t Give In ‘To The Racism And Fear’”
Other than a few tokens in the front of these pictures, very few blacks to be seen.
Reminds me of the ‘refugee’ boat pictures, where you’d see 200 people in a boat...with 3 women in the very front holding up babies (the rest were fighting aged men).
What racism?
Rioters gotta riot. Protestors gotta protest. Everything triggers rioters. Even justice. It doesn’t need a color. They’re lazy and confused. They don’t know what they are but we’re to blame. All of them. All colors. The multi-genders of them. The rapists, child molesters, robbers, shop-lifters, antagonists, the drug users, the drunks, the arsonists, the cop-haters.
They hate life. They want us to pay for their stinking hate.
Why don’t they attend meetings? Go to lectures.
Have discussions over dinner. That’s what their rich puppet masters do.
Well, I guess one good thing is that some of these idiots will be dead within the year, killed by their fellow black supremacists.
It is Chicago after all.
Awesome!
Maybe some shooting will break out thinning the heard. And what’s this mask crap?
All of them, of course. Why do you ask?
Someone should really tell them they have already given in to racism and fear.
RIGHT YOU ARE...
Old Jessie Jackson looks close to the end, he had to be supported by two burly body guards...so it seems...
The irony is thick in Chi-town.
Almost as thick as the blood of the hundreds shot there with black on black violence.
They lower class urban animals are simply trying to get all crime de criminalized.
The march of the brain-dead and moochers continues.
