A jury found 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty of double homicide Friday afternoon.
The teen was charged with fatally shooting two men and injuring a third while defending himself during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse was facing life in prison with no chance at parole.
When the verdict was read, and Rittenhouse was overcome with emotion, social media erupted in cheers for the teenager, and for the jury.

&#8220;Justice is alive in America! Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts!&#8221; wrote radio host Buck Sexton.

Sexton added, &#8220;Joe Biden, CNN, MSNBC, and the Democrat establishment should apologize for lying about Rittenhouse as a &#8216;racist&#8217; and &#8216;school shooter&#8217; and &#8216;white supremacist&#8217; for months But they won’t, because they have no honor and don’t care about the destruction they constantly incite.&#8221;
&#8220;These jurors are patriots,&#8221; he asserted. &#8220;They chose honor, truth and love of country over the whims of the vicious Leftist mob. They risked their own safety to do so. They deserve tremendous respect- and all of us have a sacred duty to ensure their protection going forward.&#8221;

Daily Wire emeritus Ben Shapiro commented, &#8220;Not guilty was the correct verdict. Anyone with a prefrontal cortex who had watched the trial for more than 30 seconds knew this. Anyone who says differently is a lying hack.&#8221;

Daily Wire host Candace Owens cheered for justice prevailing, too.
&#8220;NOT GUILTY. Kyle Rittenhouse is free. The criminal mob corporate enterprise that is masquerading as a movement concerned about black lives— FAILS. Justice wins the day,&#8221; she said.
