protest, to feel they can come in with a notion that they are going to do damage and use as a defense if they do that damage that they felt threatened and therefore it was self-defense, and cite the rittenhouse verdict as a legal basis for them to argue self-defense. this is frightening. let s go to nbc s liz mclaughlin, joining me from outside the courthouse in kenosha. liz, how are people there overall responding to the verdict? reporter: alex, this verdict seems to be widening an already deep divide. on the right, this trial was seen as a rally cry for gun activists and we re seeing some fodder on extremist group platforms, telegram channels, for instance, celebrating this verdict. some worrying, on the other side, worrying that this could encourage more people to deputize themselves and take matters into their own hands, protected by the wide breadth that self-defense provides. the families are really heartbroken. and we are hearing from anthony huber, one of kyle rit
there is that sense that the window is closing because of the oxygen levels on that craft and the gear finally getting go into shape. they do have remote-operated vehicles now able to get to that depth at the bottom and get eyes on things so hopefully we ll have information very soon. the coast guard typically does their press conferences around 1:00 p.m. eastern. they pushed that back a little later today so that may indicate that they have, they are trying to gather information and trying to understand exactly what is happening down there and what they have found. and by that time, hopefully, maybe they will have laid eyes on something and we will have a much clearer picture, two, two and a half miles beneath the surface of the ocean. and i want to read to our viewers what the coast guard put out. they said a debris field was discovered within the search area by an rov near the titanic. experts within the unified command are evaluating the information. so just so we are
