Jeanine Pirro explained the implications of the ‘not guilty’ verdict in her opening monologue
“Justice with Judge Jeanine” host Jeanine Pirro said Kyle Rittenhouse’s “not guilty” verdict “reinforced our fundamental faith in the American criminal justice system” in her opening monologue Saturday night.
JEANINE PIRRO: This was a case of vigilantism and all the negative connotations that brings. To me, it was my wheelhouse under a microscope – the criminal justice system openly displayed before a nation. This was more than the case of a 17-year-old under indictment for shooting three people. At stake was whether the rule of law and the rule of self-defense was still viable and under what circumstances an individual could legally defend himself. In short, the case was a microcosm of the tensions that had been playing out in America. The president of the United States referred to Kyle Rittenhouse as a “White supremacist.” The mainstream media demonized Kyle as a domestic terrorist, one who crossed state lines with an AR-15; a racist and an active shooter who was looking to kill. And at a time when chaos and anarchy seemed to rule our streets, when Black Lives Matter members could go about burning and tearing down businesses with impunity, many of us felt there was no justice to be had in America. When ordinary, hardworking, taxpaying Americans watched Marxists, socialists and racists destroy our communities, we lost hope. Our anxiety was fueled by the mainstream media’s intent on lying about the facts, and a prosecutor whose own case was contradicted by his very own star witness and by outside protesters within hearing range of jurors whose clear intent was to intimidate the jurors. The question was whether mob justice could be followed by real justice.
Oh bullshit. If it hadn’t been for the video, they would have hung him out to dry. The justice system is corrupt, as the day is long. The judge is a blow hard. Glad the kid got off.
Amen and about time, everything on the planet BLM get involved in they tried to make this trial and verdict about BLM it involved the murder of 2 white men killed by a white man trying to save his life. Too often the media and groups try to make it about something other than what it is. The news every day contains groups and the media trying to twist everything. We have enough to deal with if everyone would just focus on the subject matter, wait for trials and not loot and kill and burn every city. We are for the most part American citizens lets forget the past and forge a future for our children one where we respect the first responders, respect every race and the sexes and just make it better than the last 10 ten months have been.
