These people are still living in an alternate universe called Liberal World, where the heroes are a guy who’s a convicted child rapist, a guy who commits felony assault on women, jumping bail, and assaulting his brother, and the 3rd, the one who lived, Gaige Grosskreutz, has an extensive rap sheet, some of which has been expunged, for gun offenses, drunk driving, loitering (around a police car storage center), his concealed carry permit was expired, and he pointed a gun at Kyle Rittenhouse. Kyle is the Bad Guy in Liberal World for defending himself
WATCH: BLM Calls for Federal Murder Charges Against Rittenhouse
Black Lives Matter activist Troy Gaston told Breitbart News that the federal government should file murder charges against Kyle Rittenhouse. Gaston’s comments to Breitbart followed a speech at a “Stop White Supremacy!” rally in Chicago on Saturday.
On stage, Gaston told the assembled protesters that the acquittal in the Kyle Rittenhouse case sent a message “telling us to be silent under the threat of complete violence.”
“Today we come out here simply to be recognized as people who deserve to live and be treated with [equality] and respect,” the social injustice activists continued. “I ask that everybody come out here today and let your f**king voices be heard.”
Moments later, Gaston spoke with Breitbart and said, “I guess the verdict was, basically, push back on protesters who come out there to protest and to have the respect of the city to have their voices heard.”
Kyle shot 3 white guys attacking him. And those protesters? They’re looting stores in Chicago.
Gaston then said, “We are waiting for the federal government to charge Rittenhouse with first-degree murder,” and walked away.
You might think Gaston is just some rando, but, he’s a big leader in BLM, and lots and lots of randos, and lots of blue checks, are saying the same thing. The problem is, these people are idiots, and there are no circumstances under which the federal government can charge Kyle with murder. Look here, here, and here, and that’s just three sources. I checked about 10. Things that are covered are
- Murder of a federally elected official, federal judge or law enforcement officer, or the family of a federal law enforcement officer
- Murder to sway the outcome of a federal court case
- Murder committed during a bank robbery
- Murder related to rape, child molestation, or the sexual exploitation of children
- Some drug related murders
- Murder on a ship in US waters
- Murder for hire
- Murder by mail
- Takes place on federal land
So, there’s nothing that would give Los Federales any legal or Constitutional reason to charge him with 1st or 2nd degree murder, the only charges allowed. So, maybe just investigate Kyle and the trial outcome?
(Washington Examiner) New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, called on the Department of Justice to review the case.
“This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest,” Nadler said in a tweet .
Nadler is an attorney. One would think he would know better, but, then, he doesn’t even seem to know the actual facts of the case.
(The Grio) Congressman Nadler’s point is that the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division could seek charges against Rittenhouse for violating the civil rights of the three protesters he shot: Anthony Huber, Joseph Rosenbaum and Gaige Grosskreutz.
Honestly, I don’t see it happening. I took a look at the law and here is what I can tell you as a former federal congressional committee counsel and practicing attorney.
That’s from Sophia A. Nelson, posting at what is pretty much a Black Supremacist website, The Grio. But, never underestimate the politicization of the DOJ into a far left organization.

“If you don’t want people taking guns into scenes of civil unrest, then don’t pull police out and leave citizens to fend for themselves in scenes of civil unrest.”
Excellent post.
from the Grio article:
Yes, quite likely.
Teach: …heroes are a guy (Rosenbaum) who’s a convicted child rapist, a guy (Huber) who commits felony assault on women, jumping bail, and assaulting his brother, and the 3rd, the one who lived, Gaige Grosskreutz, has an extensive rap sheet, some of which has been expunged, for gun offenses, drunk driving, loitering (around a police car storage center), his concealed carry permit was expired, and he pointed a gun at Kyle Rittenhouse.
The dead and wounded idiots are not heroes any more than the idiot Rittenhouse is a hero.
