The Proud Boys, along with other right-wing militia groups, have put together a "Kyle Rittenhouse Appreciation" rally for tomorrow here in Salt Lake City. Of course, it would be possible that those disappointed Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges could have prepared a counter protest.
Here's hoping they didn't. Here's hoping there will be no counter protest. America is divided enough.
But, that doesn't mean those disapproving of the acquittals shouldn't let their viewpoints be known. Without rancor, without tearing Rittenhouse down, they could flood the media with letters to the editor, simply saying they belief the acquittals were not justified. If they did have a protest, keep it well away from the one the Proud Boys are planning. And, keep it low-key, no speeches or signs calling Rittenhouse names or demeaning him.
This is America. We need to disagree without being disagreeable. We don't need to fan the flames of division and hatred towards each other.
