Ben & Jerry’s branded the Kyle Rittenhouse trial another display of the “racist” American justice system, postulating that the trial would be far different if it involved a black teen. This comment comes despite the ice cream company’s demand in 2019 that the criminal justice system view all as “innocent until proven guilty.”
“The #RittenhouseTrial displays yet again that our ‘justice’ system is racist,” the Vermont-based company posted Thursday evening on its official Twitter page.
“How would this trial be going if he was a Black 17 yr old that crossed state lines illegally carrying an AR-15 and shot 3 white protesters?” the post continues.
“We need real justice in the legal system,” the company added. “This isn’t it.”
Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of his actions, is on trial for murder and related charges after shooting and killing two people and wounding another as he was chased through the streets during Black Lives Matter riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August.
Rittenhouse’s lawyers say that he acted in self-defense.
