The "not guilty" verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has really brought out the worst in the already unhinged left. We keep saying it, because it keeps on happening. On Friday night, during "The Last World with Lawrence O'Donnell," fill-in host Zerlina Maxwell discussed the verdict with Derrick Johnson, the president and CEO of the NAACP. During the show, Johnson claimed the verdict was "worse than the Emmett Till trial."

"This was worst than the Emmitt till trial. This was worse than so many trials where we know for a fact individuals committed murder and yet they were not brought to justice. It is unfortunate, but this is America," he said claimed.

Johnson went on to list off a whole slew of falsehoods, with no pushback from Maxwell, to claim that a federal crime had been committed.

And oh, it's Trump's fault:

Emmet Till? I guess the Left is running out of nazi imagery to refer too.

Are there any atrocities left that the Rats haven’t compared this too? I don’t think this tactic is working. Normal people breathed a great sigh of relief with the acquittal.

this left ideology is completely devoid of any hint of morality. If he joined a blm protest, they’d even worship adolf hitler (assuming they have any idea who he was).

Yep. This case was purely about demonizing those that would defend their lives and property from BurnLootMurder and Auntie Fa.

For the left, this verdict sends the message that rioting and looting can be bad for one’s health...

Two brain dead liberal idiots discussing anything ends up with exactly what you’d expect... All of the MSM sound like the soup salad coming out of Biden’s mouth.

RE: “honorary black people”....
//////////////////////
Good line.
Remember when Bill Clinton was called “the first Black President” by Toni Morrison and then jokingly by other black people meaning in trouble, breaking the law, behind before he starts, victim of prejudice, sneaking around with other women than his wife.

Morrison regretted her own lines later:

“Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime. After all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald’s-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas.”

(later statement)

“I was deploring the way in which President Clinton was being treated, vis-à-vis the sex scandal that was surrounding him. I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp. I have no idea what his real instincts are, in terms of race.”

The three killed in the confrontation, photo.

Combined statement by their mamas:

“We never knew they would someday have the honor of being called honorary black men, to further the agenda against the white supremacists who infest our land since Trump’s KKK reign ended. They are now young, gifted and honorary black-—and dead.”

The headline indicated the NACCP is equating Emmet Till with white felons.

If you ask me the white antifa rioters are helping give black people a bad image. NAACP ever consider that?

No. An engineer looking at what was reported. Others were not nearly so judicious in their words.

Quit blaming your problems on Whitey, work hard, don’t go to jail, and you too will make it in this country. Don’t use Whitey as an excuse for your failures.
