The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, the young man tried for killing two people in the anti-racist protests of 2020, sets fire to and divides the United States.

And Fox News, the super conservative network has announced that it will have the boy interviewed by his own in prime time tonight top anchorman, Tucker Carlson.

Rittenhouse it was nevertheless intended to be a symbol for a certain radical right. Already there was talk of him during the demonstrations against the government in progressive cities such as Chicago, New York and Portland. President Joe Biden he tried to call for calm in a statement, but could not hide the fact that the verdict left him “angry and worried”. California Governor Gavin Newson made it clear that the jury, with this ruling, America made it clear to the “armed vigilantes” that “they can break the law, have military weapons, kill people and escape. “ Kyle Rittenhouse it exposed the political and social rift that has long polarized America. A country where, it should be remembered, it is legal to be armed during riots in the streets if you believe that your community may be threatened.

Nobody was surprised, primarily the police, of a seventeen year old in a demonstration armed with a heavy military rifle. Everyone had seen it but everyone had pretend nothing happened. But there are more guns than people in the United States. The trial of this young man who since childhood saw the police as something to be idolized has raised many questions, especially after a complicated period after the murder of 2020 for George Floyd, with manifestations related to the race and even white deaths. The family of one of the young men killed by Rittenhouse, Anthony Huber, sued the city of Kenosha for conspiring with armed militias and allowing their violent actions. “If Kyle Rittenhouse had been black, they would have acted very differently.”

On 25 August 2020, Kenosha in Wisconsin he had suffered three consecutive days of riots over the shooting of a police officer in the back Jacob Blake, an African American who had resisted arrest. In the midst of the wave of mobilizations for the death of George Floyd, the case provoked peaceful demonstrations in the city, but also serious acts of vandalism. Some militias of armed civilians have thus decided to intervene. “The police are outnumbered and our mayor has failed. Let’s take up arms and defend our city “. Many groups wrote. And so Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, he decided to go help out with an AR-15 (an assault rifle) on his back. In the videos he is seen moving against the activists. Two of them, Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, both unarmed, chased and shot him down. He shot and shot them dead.

The defense spoke of self-defense, and when there are previous threats, a citizen has the right to use force to defend himself. The judge, Bruce Schroeder, he dropped the charge shortly before the end of the trial because the length of the weapon was less than the limit and it had not been purchased by Rittenhouse himself, but by an adult friend of his. Among the voices in favor of the young man, that of JD Vance, Ohio Senate candidate, who tweeted “We left our children without parents. We let the wolves set their communities on fire and when nature tells them to go and defend what no one else is defending, we give them the full weight of the state and global monopolists. “ In this complicated and controversial episode, the attitude of the police is also surprising. After the shooting that night, Rittenhouse approached a patrol with his arms raised to turn himself in, but the officers told him to leave. That he had an assault rifle in his hand, probably for America, is by no means illegal. But this is America and it is unlikely that it will change.
