California elected officials and lawmakers were quick to react to the news that 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges related to the fatal shooting of two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020.
“The Rittenhouse verdict is a stark illustration of the inequities of our justice system and the horrific consequences of permitting vigilantism to masquerade as self-defense.” - Sen. Josh Becker, D-San Mateo, via Twitter.
