EARLIER raw footage thread: This was the scene outside of the courthouse as supporters and opponents of #KyleRittenhouse learned that he had been fully acquitted.
Jacob Blake's uncle says he's shocked "as hell" about the #RittenhouseAcquittal, but he felt the judge "was putting his hands on the scale" on evidence and procedure rulings.
He says Rittenhouse "wouldn't have made it down the street" without being shot, if he were Black.
Mark McCloskey (who was photoed armed confronting BLM) said it's a "great day for the Second Amendment" and that he "couldn't be prouder" of justice system following Rittenhouse verdict.
He says he only visited post-trial so they "couldn't be accused of influencing the outcome."
The courthouse exterior continued to be a broader culture war forum following the Rittenhouse verdict.
A man claimed "Antifa's racist" which led to a confrontation when another responded, "No they're not, I am antifa, bitch!" and approached him.
Community member broke it up.
Here is my raw footage showing the view outside the courthouse when the verdict was rendered and the discussions and confrontations that followed.
As always, all @N2Sreports video available to license.

This guy, apparently a former Ferguson cop (many people said this and he seemed to verbally confirm it), has been walking around outside #Kenosha courthouse with a Colt rifle bag, after yesterday showing up at the courthouse with a rifle that he was asked to put away.
After the man who showed up with a rifle bag outside the #Kenosha courthouse was confronted about the bag, he finally opened it.
Rather than his rifle from yesterday, he pulled out a black rubber sex toy.
He apparently was trying to appear armed to plan that gag.
To be clear, this is what he looked like yesterday before police made him put away his actual gun.
Earlier: Two arrested after brief fight outside courthouse in Kenosha.
Apologies for vertical video, I scrambled to get phone on; I have more (but not all) of what led to this on my HD camera which I’ll go through later.
As I post this, crowd much more agitated now.
Just for context - this was about an hour and a half ago now and the cell signal has been so shitty it just went through as I left the area completely.
The released version of this previously abridged angle shows Ronald Troyke murder officer Gordon Beesley from behind at 25 seconds in.
Johnny Hurley engages Ronald Troyke at 1 minute 25 seconds in, killing him.
Johnny goes to Troyke's body, and then off screen.
(CW: Violence)
The Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office also provided a video showing Johnny's response to the mass shooter all the way from his time inside the Army Surplus store to him shooting the mass shooter through multiple angles.
THREAD: Today, three activist chained themselves to construction equipment at the historic McMillan Reservoir site in Washington DC to prevent construction crews from developing on it.
Police attempted to negotiate them down while saying they had no authority on the subject.
I interviewed @RosinaPhoto from through a hole in a fence while her hands were chained together in a lockbox connecting her to a piece of equipment.
She expressed doubt that the stunt will cause Mayor @MurielBowser to reconsider the development at McMillan Park, but had to try.
Activist @aeidinger talked to me about the history at McMillan Park.
It used to provide all the water to the city, and then became DC's first integrated park, before being fenced off in the 60s.
The city now plans to develop it into retail/apartments/parking.
