"There are lessons for the left and the right here.

• For those on the right -- The justice system isn't what many of you think it is, and it's even worse for people who are poor and/or have low social status.
• For those on the left -- All those times you may have complained about prosecutors railroading innocent people by breaking all sorts of rules of due process, well... You just watched it happen, and you were on the wrong side of the whole issue.

Kyle Rittenhouse never initiated force against anyone. The jury was right to find him not guilty on all counts.

• If you're happy about the verdict: remember how badly you saw the prosecutors behave, and recognize that they are often like this - it's just that usually there's not enough public scrutiny to expose it. This anger at the justice system is what has animated many protesters, so look at it as an opportunity to find common ground on reform.
• If you're sad about the verdict: ask yourself what makes you choose to be on the side of the mob or the guy they're chasing, and how that decision is affected by narrative/propaganda. And why we don't see police officers who kill innocent people put on trial in this way. 

Maybe the government wants us hating and fearing each other instead of rooting out its oppressive conduct?"
