blake s uncle who is just walking behind me was here every single day in support of those who were shot and killed or shot and injured by kyle rittenhouse. there were folks who would show up who, as you just heard adrianne say, who were here in support of kyle rittenhouse. the racial undertones are here. there are black folks here in town who will tell you that they believe that he was going to get off and that it is all, you know, set and ready because he happened to be a young white child of 17 at the time. and there are folks here who believed that he would be found guilty because of his color and because he had a large ar-style gun and they re upset about the second amendment. there are so many thingsly that play into this in the minds of folks who are out here. but i will say this. many of the folks who were out here on the steps were not l
