Reports suggest multiple protests are planned across the U.S. after the jury decided to acquit Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges.
Twitter account “Raws Alerts” reports protests are being planned in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the trial was held. National Guard troops are on standby for action if social unrest breaks out.
Comments outside the protest include one individual who said, “when it’s a state-sanctioned murder, you get to riot.”
