Kyle Rittenhouse has been cleared on all counts of murder in Kenosha, Wisconsin with his lawyer saying that he acted in self defence by killing two white men.
This verdict is disturbing and aligns with the republican mantra over firearms and is of course welcomed by the far right. Others, myself included, find it appalling and let's not foget that if he had been a black man shooting that day, he would undoubtedly have been shot dead, as others have pointed out.
