The DA's office?
Seems reasonable
The DA's office?
Riot? Whose businesses, whose dumpsters should the right burn? Whose neighborhoods should the right burn?
Democrat Rep. Cori Bush: If Kyle Rittenhouse Acquitted, White Supremacists ‘Can Shoot at Us’

PAUL BOIS 15 Nov 2021
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) believes that if 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted on the grounds of self-defense, white supremacists will be emboldened to shoot at Black Lives Matter protesters.
Repeating the lie that Michael Brown was “murdered” at the hands of a white police officer, Cori Bush falsely claimed on Monday that white supremacists in Ferguson, Missouri, would literally hide up in the hills and callously shoot at protesters.
“When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us,” she said. “They never faced consequences. If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even 7 years later they still can get away with it.”

Black Lives Matter activist Ohun Ashe backed up the congresswoman’s claim.
“This is FACTS! I vividly remember hiding under porches in Canfield as shots were fired at us. No one came to help us. We would come from under porches using cars as shields in between gun shots to make it out,” tweeted Ashe.

When further pressed for comment, a spokesperson for the Bush campaign said that white supremacists opened fire on the congresswoman while providing no specifics.
“While on the frontlines of the Ferguson Uprising, Congresswoman Bush and other activists were shot at by white supremacist vigilantes. The question we need to ask is why white supremacists feel empowered to open-carry rifles, incite violence, and put Black lives at risk across our country,” the spokesperson said.
Just one minor problem with Bush’s assertion: it never happened. According to Ferguson Police Chief Frank McCall Jr., a black man, the department has no record of such an incident.
“Not that I’m aware of,” he told Webster County Citizen.
The only documented incident of the type described by Bush occurred in March 2015 when two police officers forming a security line outside the Ferguson police headquarters were shot, causing protesters to flee. Jeffrey Williams, a black man, was later arrested and convicted of the shooting.
Aside from her lying-lie, already debunked, about having been shot at, I've seen this narrative pushed in at least two articles. I'm pretty sure blacks are killing blacks at a rather high disproportional rate than by white supremacists. Funny the media never mentions THAT.

Cori Bush is...
Considering we're at a point where we need to be ungovernable, yes the right should riot if convicted.
No argument there, but will they?

Of course they won't.
The prison holding Rittenhouse would be my recommendation.

What is the purpose of rioting?
Just to let off some steam?
If you're going to resort to violence, at least have a goal and a clear sense of how the violence you're committing advances towards that goal.
Apparently he was pointing it at the jury
Which, by the way, is a crime under Wisconsin law.
One of the lawyers on the Rekieta law stream theorized that he was trying to trap the defense attorney into objecting and calling him out when he pointed the gun, with the intention of turning it into a controversy where he could make the point to the jury that pointing a gun at somebody makes them fear for their life... and that the defense attorney smartly did not fall for the trap.
