On Wednesday afternoon, the Vice Chair of the Oregon Democrats Black
Caucus suggested that employers give their black employees at least one
day off and possibly two after the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse
trial is delivered because no matter what the verdict would be, it
would be hard for black people to work and it wouldn’t be fair to
expect them to.
Gregory McKelvey tweeted, “Employers, consider giving your Black
employees a day or two off after the Rittenhouse verdict. Regardless of
the outcome, it’s going to be hard for Black people to work and it
isn’t fair to expect them to.”

Backlash came fast and furious:
Sports commentator Jason Whitlock, who is also black, tweeted
succinctly, “This is insanity.”

this about yourself you damned narcissist.”

Author Chad Felix Greene: “The only people who should be experiencing
stress or anxiety over this trial should be lawful gun owners who
witnessed a legitimate self-defense, caught on video, turned into a
show trial and the media declaring the victim guilty based on politics
and this nonsense below.”

The New York Post reported, “Officials and businesses in Kenosha are
also fearing a repeat of the violent upheaval that rocked the city of
about 100,000 people in August last year after the police shooting of
Jacob Blake. … Photos show numerous buildings with boarded-up windows —
many seemingly still there from the first round of riots last year that
saw Black Lives Matter protesters often torching black-owned local
businesses.”
The Daily Wire reported on Tuesday, “In preparation for violence
following the verdict, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has also ordered
500 National Guard troops into state active duty to support hundreds of
law enforcement officers.”
“We continue to be in close contact with our partners at the local
level to ensure the state provides support and resources to help keep
the Kenosha community and greater area safe,” Evers said. “The Kenosha community has been strong, resilient, and has come together through
incredibly difficult times these past two years, and that healing is
still ongoing. I urge folks who are otherwise not from the area to
please respect the community by reconsidering any plans to travel there
and encourage those who might choose to assemble and exercise their
First Amendment rights to do so safely and peacefully.”
“We stand ready to support our communities during times of need,” added
Maj. Gen. Paul Knapp, Wisconsin’s adjutant general. “In close
coordination with the governor, we have assembled approximately 500
Soldiers to help keep the Kenosha community safe, should a request from
our local partners come in.”
