A jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts Friday.
“This verdict is disgusting and it sends a horrible message to this country. Where is the justice in this? We can’t let this go. We need stronger laws to stop violent extremism from within our own nation. Now is the time,” posted NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio on Twitter.

The far-right trolls who think it makes a difference whether a violent gunman got his weapon before or after he crossed state lines are missing the point: two people are dead and their killer is left unaccountable. That’s not justice and they know it.

Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, was on trial for killing two men and wounding a third with an AR-15 rifle during a violent night of protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The Kenosha Unified School district issued a statement Thursday informing parents that students will switch to remote learning as the town braces for the verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.
“While we have not been advised of any existing imminent danger, we feel this is the best course of action to protect our students and staff during an uncertain time,” read the statement obtained by Fox News’ Garrett Tenney. “We will continue to work closely with law enforcement to receive support as needed in the days and weeks ahead.”
500 members of the Wisconsin National Guard remain deployed to prevent any violence.
“To protect operational security and ensure the safety of our troops, we will not confirm troop locations, timelines, or movements, but staging location decisions are made in consultation with officials from the local and state level to ensure we meet the capabilities requested of us,” the Wisconsin National Guard told Fox News’ Garrett Tenney in a statement Thursday.
“Our staging locations are chosen for a wide variety of reasons ranging from distance, response time, access to major travel corridors, capacity to handle the number of troops mobilized, the ability to respond to multiple locations, if needed, and more,” the statement added.
