After Kyle Rittenhouse trial, a city and country wonder ‘where we go from here’

LA Times  

A man outside the Kenosha County Courthouse in Wisconsin after the verdicts were announced in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. “And I believe they came to the correct verdict, and I’m glad that everything went well.” Decades before it became the backdrop of the police shooting of Jacob Blake and, in subsequent days, of burning buildings and of Rittenhouse firing his AR-15-style rifle, Kenosha was perhaps best known for having assembled Hornets and Gremlins for the now-defunct American Motors Corp. “The violence, the death, that’s the first thing Americans think of when someone mentions this city,” said Kevin Ervin, who co-owns Franks Diner downtown. “But it’s disturbing to see kids carrying guns in the street.” Video presented during the trial showed Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse through a parking lot before Rittenhouse shot him. “There is no question justice wasn’t served,” she said Saturday from behind a marble bar in downtown Kenosha.
