What happened to the whole thing about criminal justice reform, prison abolition, the evils of the carceral state, the inherent pro-prosecution bias, rehabilitative justice?
It all instantly disappears based if the accused has the wrong ideology. Then it's: law and order!

I also don't believe the people saying this have watched much or any of the trial. They're instead demanding a now-18-year-old be imprisoned for life because they know their political followers want to hear that or they're looking for positive social media attention: both gross.
With both Rittenhouse and the 1/6 defendants, it's absolutely bizarre (and more than a little grotesque) to watch liberals jettison every criminal justice reform principle they claim to believe because of the ideology of the accused, and suddenly turn into pro-prison fanatics.
This actually all started with Russiagate. They wanted people like Michael Flynn imprisoned for years for a "crime" -- lying to the FBI -- that liberals like Ruth Bader Ginsburg long argued shouldn't even be a crime. The only crime they want punished is rejection of liberalism.
(This same sick dynamic is why they're content to watch Assange locked away in a dungeon. The only crime they care about that they think he committed was publishing authentic docs that reflected poorly on Hillary Clinton and the DNC. They want their political enemies in jail).
American liberalism: 
FOUR YEARS requested for the Q Shaman on a charge that basically is non-violent trespassing.
That's the point: nobody who is remotely an advocate of criminal justice reform could support this, but he has the Bad Ideology, so to the dungeon he goes:

For those who have watched the trial: did the evidence presented remotely vindicate the claims in this mega-mega-viral tweet last year from a member of Congress about Kyle Rittenhouse and Joseph Rosenbaum?
Facebook isn't the disinformation problem.

This is an excellent discussion of yesterday's critical testimony in the Rittenhouse trial from @ryangrim and @robbysoave -- neither remotely MAGA adherents. Ryan has written extensively about the need for criminal justice reform. Highly recommended:
