Guardian, 20 Nov 2021
A jury acquitted teenager Kyle Rittenhouse on Friday of murder after the fatal shooting of two men, in a trial that highlighted divisions over gun rights and stirred fierce debate about the boundaries of self-defence in the United States. Amid a heavy law enforcement presence, several dozen protesters lined the steps outside the courthouse after the verdict was read, some carrying placards in support of Rittenhouse and others expressing disappointment.
