The aftermath of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict is a lesson in unrequited rage. After a jury of 12 citizens in Kenosha, Wis., acquitted Rittenhouse on all charges, politicians and media figures lashed out at the judge, the jury and the entire legal system.
Like our politics and our media, the legal system has become a vehicle for collective rage; there is no room for doubt or deviation from our predispositions. Yet in denouncing “vigilante justice,” pundits and politicians seem to be advocating for a form of mob justice.
From hijacking planes to hijacking causes:
#Rittenhouse verdict protests turn into anti-Israel protests with chants for “intifada” and destruction of Israel…
because nothing is allowed to happen in the world without Palestinians activists making it about them. 🤮 pic.twitter.com/E4Duz0vM0L
