i wouldn't know don lemon if he sat in my lap. i don't have tv, i use hulu and netflix. i read the news, from several different reputable websites...and that gives me the confidence to say you're a fucking sanctimonious troll piece of shit, get fucked
Remember those wayne Brady skits on Chapelle show, Don lemon is the wayne Brady of cable news...yet still, they paint him as some radical boogieman. It's rad.

"Acted like a guilty person" - I am glad you are not a judge or serving on a jury. Jesus, what a scary way to view things based on complete subjectivity.
I wasn't on the jury panel and so did not see all the evidence in person, nor did I hear much of what the defense or prosecution said. I wasn't there when the judge gave instructions to the jury. I have no idea what I would have done had I been sworn in and agreed to follow the judge's instructions.
So I'm not commenting on the legal side of this argument. Just looking at objective facts, the actions Rittenhouse took on the night he killed three people were very suspicious. When I heard that he was asked to call 911 and he agreed to but didn't, when I heard how instead he called a friend and said he "just killed somebody", when I heard that he walked right by the police and didn't alert them to the people he shot, when I heard he jumped into a getaway car and fled across state lines, when I heard that he lied about being attacked by a baseball bat wielding man to justify shooting him, when I heard he was arrested as a fugitive from justice. When I heard all those indisputable facts, I can't help but wonder if these are actions of an innocent person. The jury's verdict doesn't mean he is innocent, just that he's not guilty as charged.

"Clerk of Courts confirm Joseph Rosenbaum was charged by a grand jury with 11 counts of child molestation and inappropriate sexual activity around children, including anal rape. The victims were five boys ranging in age from nine to 11 years old. "
That’s the other guy.

Thankfully the jury reached the right conclusion based on evidence and not what they subjectively felt. I don't understand your pov. The evidence showed he was acting in self-defense but you think his actions were suspicious. So what? The jury's verdict means he is innocent. We are a country of laws.

the judge was holding mistrial in his sleeve just in case.

Yes, yes, the jurors followed the judge's instructions as they were sworn to do.

It doesn't change the facts about his guilty behavior that night. I mean, fleeing the scene, crossing state borders and getting arrested as a fugitive from justice the following day. These are not the acts of an innocent man.

I mean this sincerely when I say, too bad you weren’t one of the prosecutors.
