Disappointed? Yes. Suprised? Not The Least Bit! This Is America After All.

Pathetic, as per usual.

1. Public reaction quickly goes from anger to despondency.

However if I had to choose between passing the Build Back Better and finding Rittenhouse guilty then I think we made out OK today. We’ve got to learn to take our victories and let the losses go. Holding grudges is what the other side does

[old guy]

5. Yeah,

after all, it was only 2 dead people and I didn't know them so I'll forget about it and move on.

[Walleye]

10. Unfortunately that's what often happens.

[whathehell]

2. No, it's Kenosha, Wisconsin, actually..

A very small city of only one state in fifty.

3. I look at the implications of this verdict and forsee

Many vigilante gun nuts showing up as the good guys with a gun for all kinds of events. More people will be less safe because of this, and don't try to stop them because if they shoot you it's self defense.

11. School board meetings. God help us

15. It's so sick.

16. Makes me glad I'm old

4. For me, this kid made a decision he will regret for the rest of his life..

He isn't a free person, he knows what he was thinking when this all went down.., his own guilt will remain forever..just before he closes his eyes to sleep, may those VICTIMS visit him each and every time..

He will not be able to walk freely anywhere...will always need to look behind him..his own guilt will dictate..

[GoCubsGo]

6. Yep, and the sooner people understand this, the better.

[Paladin]

7. Grossly insufficient punishment. (nt)

[Casady1]

9. sociopaths have no feelings

12. This ☝️☝️☝️

Regrets and guilt are for suckers and losers.

[Polybius]

13. He's be a Congressman in 10 years

Or a Fox News/Newsmax/OAN commentator. If anything, this will make him more money.

[Bettie]

14. Based on his behavior

I don't think he regrets it one little bit.

He went from being nobody to being "famous".

He knows that he can kill without consequences and when he does, he'll get more attention from people he admires.

I don't think he has any regret or that he cares that he killed people.

8. What the world has witnessed in the past five years

is American exceptionalism, what it really is not what the talking heads were spewing ad nauseous.
