Biden issued a lengthier statement shortly after, calling for people to “express their views peacefully.”
Statement by President Biden
While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. I ran on a promise to bring Americans together, because I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us. I know that were not going to heal our country’s wounds overnight, but I remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that every American is treated equally, with fairness and dignity, under the law.
I urge everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law. Violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy. The White House and Federal authorities have been in contact with Governor Evers’s office to prepare for any outcome in this case, and I have spoken with the Governor this afternoon and offered support and any assistance needed to ensure public safety.
In a press conference following the verdict, defense attorney Mark Richards said it was “the longest jury deliberation I’ve ever been a part of.”
Defense attorney says length of Rittenhouse jury’s deliberation instilled “doubt” prior to verdict.

The jury reached their decision after four days of deliberations, which lasted longer than anyone – including Judge Bruce Schroeder, had expected. It came amid two mistrial requests from the defense over high-definition video evidence which was withheld – possibly unintentionally – by the prosecution. Rittenhouse’s attorneys claimed that an inferior copy of a potentially crucial video could have affected their defense.
Prosecutors were visibly crestfallen after the verdict was read.

On Thursday, a juror asked Schroeder if she could take the jury instructions home, which was granted. The jury also asked to review the drone footage that was a ‘linchpin’ in the prosecution’s case, as well as the best views of all the shootings compiled from six video clips.
Rittenhouse, now 18, shot and killed two men who were pursuing him and injured a third during the 2020 riots in Kenosha. The former police youth cadet faces life in prison if convicted of the most serious charge against him.

On Thursday, Judge Schroeder banned MSNBC from the courthouse after a freelance employee was pulled over after running a red light while following the jury bus. The network acknowledged that the man was an employee, but said he “never photographed or intended to photograph them.”

Biden is a dementia ridden filthy animal that craps his pants spontaneously. He fuels racial division in his own country.
He still hasn’t learnt to keep his mouth shut until he’s been given his script. TEP.
Pedobide gives dear Leader Obongo a run for his money as the most incompetent U.S. President ever.
Free Assange.
Down with medical fascism.
Hear, hear!!! The criminal despotic basteerds in Austria are attempting to make the genocide jab obligatory. In the meantime, once healthy athletes and people in general are dropping dead and coming down with miocarditis and a host of other adverse effects.
Maybe there is a God after all. The good and righteous of the world seem to have been granted a miracle this day.
Let’s remember that two white BLM domestic terrorists aimed their firearms at a person protecting businesses from looting and destruction. Not a thing to be angry or confused about.
my psychiatric clinic sent a formal request to Biden to supply some of his dementia meds to crissy gr and jens —we can only provide them cheese to address their severe deficits
He and many ohters are correct. There should be changes in their judge systems.
juridical
Hey, retard, you know there is an edit button, right?????
No
Joe “Pedo Poopy Pants” Biden and Kamala “Camel-toe the ho” Harris! What a couple!!!
