• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Protests were observed in downtown Brooklyn, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; and Portland, Oregon. Focusing on Portland, a riot was declared at 9 p.m. local (or 2400 ET) after hundreds of demonstrators unleashed their liberal rage by smashing windows and hurling objects at police. 

Keep an eye out this afternoon or evening for additional protests in liberal-controlled metro areas. 

Update (1558ET): Reports suggest multiple protests are planned across the U.S. after the jury decided to acquit Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges. 

Twitter account "Raws Alerts" reports protests are being planned in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the trial was held. National Guard troops are on standby for action if social unrest breaks out. 

Comments outside the protest include one individual who said, "when it's a state-sanctioned murder, you get to riot."

Other protests are allegedly being planned for Chicago, New York City, Portland, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Los Angeles

As of 1550 ET, there are no reports of protests or riots in any mentioned cities. This is something readers should keep a close eye on into the evening and overnight.

Update (1500ET): When asked for his opinion on the verdict, President Biden said he "stands by" the jury's decision to acquit Rittenhouse, adding "the jury system works and we have to abide by it."
