• LIBERAL CRIME SQUAD JURY TRIAL

Liberal justices like the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Stephen Breyer have opposed such efforts as inimical to the rule of law. It is the same mentality that has led members of Congress, law professors, and others to demand the expansion or restriction of the Supreme Court because it now has a conservative majority. The campaign reflects a growing sense that the legal system is only worthy of respect (or even protection) if it rules in the way that we demand. In addition, ASU student Taskina Bhuiya started a petition to denounce the verdict and to call for Rittenhouse to be “held accountable for the crimes he has committed.” Without a sense of irony, the petition declares “ASU should be a safe and inclusive place for all students, which will be disrupted if Kyle Rittenhouse is allowed to attend this school.” Inclusive unless you are an acquitted individual who must be “held accountable.” Hundreds have signed the petition insisting that “Rittenhouse should pay for his crimes.” Students and faculty are being called to the rally to “protect students from a violent, blood-thirsty murderer.” However, Rittenhouse has expressed interest in in-person attendance at ASU. (Indeed, some reports indicate that he may not be currently enrolled for any classes at ASU). Students groups like MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlán), Students for Socialism, Students for Justice in Palestine and the Multicultural Solidarity Coalition are organizing a rally this week to “get murderer Kyle Rittenhouse off campus.” He is not on campus since he is enrolled as an online student.

LIBERAL CRIME SQUAD JURY TRIAL

With leaders like President Biden calling Rittenhouse a “white supremacist” before any investigation was completed and legal analysts calling the entire trial “ white supremacy on steroids,” there is a sense of legitimacy in demanding such extrajudicial punishments.

Now students and groups at Arizona State University are planning a rally and demanding that Rittenhouse be expelled. It does matter that there was evidence supporting Rittenhouse’s claim of self-defense that was largely missing from prior coverage of the case. Despite a jury with the same racial makeup convicting the defendants in Georgia in the Arbery case, many have denounced the entire legal system as racist. President Joe Biden and media figures are not the only persons who are “angry” after a jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse on all charges.
