That is fine with me, however the arsehole who put him up to it and provided the rifle needs to be behind bars. If nothing else, he endangered Rittenhouse and others by doing so.

Brave jurors. The pressure on them to convict was intense.Justice prevails IMO...

I hadn't heard that part of it. I did hear the rifle was kept at home in a safe otherwise.
What are you suggesting the ATF should be doing? The straw purchaser has already been charged.According to this story, Black made a "straw purchase" of the rifle on behalf of Rittenhouse, a huge felony in all 50 states. ATF, are you listening?

However, Biden did make a comment about the verdict.Brandon should apologize for labeling the boy as a white supremacist, I hear the family is suing Brandon for characterizing him in such a way...

Biden ducks question about whether he stands by calling Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist
President Biden Friday avoided addressing whether he still thinks Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist, on the same day jurors came back with a verdict of not guilty on all counts in the Illinois teen's murder trial. Biden, who says he did not watch the trial, spoke briefly about the jury's decision.
Biden had tweeted during the presidential campaign a video focusing on white supremacism that included Rittenhouse. Asked Friday if he stood by characterizing Rittenhouse as a white supremacist, Biden refused to answer and instead just said he stands by the jury's conclusion.
"Look, I stand by what the jury has concluded," Biden said. "The jury system works and we have to abide by it."
Following the verdict, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., demanded Biden "publicly apologize" to Rittenhouse for the statement he made in 2020. "Joe Biden needs to publicly apologize to Kyle Rittenhouse," Cotton tweeted. Rittenhouse would have faced a mandatory life sentence if found guilty and convicted of first-degree intentional homicide.

Implies that the jury got it wrong while claiming to be a uniter.
Why would the President be angry and concerned about our judicial system working?...To me he is promoting further unrest and violence...

I really hadn't thought about Biden much in the past. All I knew about him was that he was supposedly gaffe prone. But I never regarded him as lacking integrity. That all changed after he became President.
Far as I know, those are just state charges. ATF would bring additional federal charges.
