Biden 'angry' after teen cleared of shootings
BBC ^ | November 20, 2021 | Staff

Posted on 11/19/2021 10:43:22 PM PST by Trump20162020

US President Joe Biden has said he is "angry" after a teenager who shot dead two men during racial unrest last year in Wisconsin was cleared.

The president expressed dismay at the verdict in a written statement after earlier telling reporters he supported the jury's decision.

Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, sobbed as he was acquitted of all charges over the shooting in Kenosha on 25 August 2020.

There were low-key protests over the outcome in a trial that divided the US.

Mr Rittenhouse nearly collapsed with relief as he learned his fate on Friday from a jury of seven women and five men after three-and-a-half days of deliberations. His mother, Wendy, also wept.

The former police youth cadet was cleared of two counts of intentional homicide, one count of attempted homicide and two counts of recklessly endangering safety.

Brought a smile to my face and reminded me of the opening credits to Lou Grant and the bird cage.

I watched a little CNN, even there legal expert felt the prosecution had a weak case. Several others legal experts saw it the same way. One federal prosecutor said this was a hard legal climb. When I watched the two star witnesses make the defense’s case I knew a not guilty verdict was the correct verdict. What is wrong with Biden.?

You might want to watch that mouth, Biden:

“Typically, presidents are immune from civil lawsuits for torts alleged to have taken place during their time in office. But as the infamous case of Paula Jones’s sexual harassment lawsuit against President Bill Clinton showed, presidents are not immune from suit for torts committed prior to their taking office. Biden could therefore be sued by Rittenhouse...”

Pollack @ BB.

Hard to believe that came from BBC. Maybe the leftards over here are getting too far left, even for them (BBC). I doubt The Guardian has any problem with the leftards though.

Biden’s poll numbers going down... over this latest insult to the American people...

Does Biden believe most Americans stand with child-rapists and assorted thugs burning down cities and attacking innocent people like Rittenhouse?

This is the WH staff response on Joe's behalf.

Joe's actual response was, "Who the hell is Kenosha? If that is a little girl, I didn't do it?"

Rittenhouse put out a fire in a dumpster being rolled down the street. What was the reason for the rolling burning dumpster? And what was the destination?

biden needs to be impeached for the crime of jury tampering, then sued.

He’s angry and dismayed? Aw shucks.

I’m angry and dismayed when I go to the meat department and the gas station.

All we'll get from the lefties is word salad about racism, white supremacists, and vigilantism.

2 things from the Rittenhouse trial are bothering the BLM and AntiFa thugs.

1. Their victims have the absolute right to use deadly force to protect themselves.

2. The FBI has had HD drones recording them all this time with images of such high quality to identify and track individuals even in the dark. But like the 6th Jan. Capitol videos they have been withheld for political reasons. Irrefutable evidence of who they are and what they have done is already in the government’s hands.

The governmrnt/Deep State has some “splaining to do”.
