There’s a major threat that white people will riot if the innocent man Kyle Rittenhouse is sent to prison unjustly.
Wisconsin’s governor on Friday put 500 National Guard members on standby as the high-profile homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse nears its end.
Closing arguments are expected Monday in the trial.
Rittenhouse, 18, fatally shot two men and wounded a third during protests in Kenosha following the police shooting of Jacob Blake last year.
He is charged with intentional homicide, reckless homicide, attempted intentional homicide, and other charges in the Aug. 25, 2020, shooting.
The Wisconsin National Guard will stage outside Kenosha, available should they be requested by law enforcement, Gov. Tony Evers said.
“I urge folks who are otherwise not from the area to please respect the community by reconsidering any plans to travel there and encourage those who might choose to assemble and exercise their First Amendment rights to do so safely and peacefully,” Evers said in a statement.
Actually, no. There is no threat of white people rioting, despite what you might have heard from Joe Rogan.
The only white people we’ve ever seen rioting were paid drug addicts rioting on behalf of the blacks.
The National Guard is on standby in case Kyle is acquitted, or a mistrial declared, and the blacks and their supporters start a riot.
