"The Rittenhouse decision jeopardized every freedom fighter... Everyone who’s a demonstrator can be killed by a right-winger with[out] justification...We have the right, the constitutional right, to march... He has the constitutional right to object. He does not have the right to kill us... Nobody has the right to go across state lines [with] a loaded weapon, come back with a loaded weapon, shoot two people and then go home... Miracle Boyd, a youth organizer for the anti-violence group Good Kids Mad City, said Saturday that the jury’s verdict was a “miscarriage of justice.” “He’s the exact kind of person that the system was designed to protect — not my Black and Brown cousins,” Boyd said. “Trayvon Martin had skittles and an Arizona [Iced Tea] and was shot to death. Mr. Rittenhouse was a 17-year-old with an AR-15 as big as him, murdered two people and was sent scot-free... Let’s stop pretending like oppression and supremacy doesn’t exist,” Boyd said."
