After Kyle Rittenhouse on Friday was found not guilty on all five felony charges brought against him for the shootings that killed two men and injured a third, the American Civil Liberties Union suggested that the defendant’s civil liberties ought not to be protected.

The jury acquitted Rittenhouse of first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide after he had been on trial for shooting and killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injuring Gaige Grosskreutz during an August 2020 riot in Kenosha, WI that was in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

The ACLU said in a Twitter thread following the verdict that Rittenhouse was not held responsible for his actions despite his “conscious decision to travel across state lines and injure one person and take the lives” of two others.
