March For Our Lives says Kyle Rittenhouse 'embodies the very danger posed by an armed white supremacist culture'

• Rittenhouse "embodies" the "danger" of "armed white supremacist culture," March For Our Lives said.

• "Young people are enraged watching this trial," the gun control advocacy group said on Friday.

• Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges by a jury for fatally shooting two men and injuring a third.

Kyle Rittenhouse embodies the threat of "armed white supremacist culture," March For Our Lives said after the teenager was fully acquitted on Friday in his homicide trial.

Rittenhouse — who was found not guilty for fatally shooting two men and injuring a third during unrest in August 2020 — came to Kenosha, Wisconsin, during the Black Lives Matter protests to "exploit tragedy," the gun control advocacy group wrote in a statement on Friday.

The group claimed Rittenhouse was treated with "kiddy gloves" and called him a "dangerous vigilante."

"This deadly culture ensnared Kyle Rittenhouse and his three victims," March For Our Lives said. "One thing is clear: Young people are enraged watching this trial, and this will not be our normal."

The group added: "He embodies the very danger posed by an armed white supremacist culture."

March For Our Lives is a gun control advocacy group that was created in 2018 following a school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

The jury delivered its verdict in the Rittenhouse trial on Friday after three-and-a-half days of deliberation.

The teen had pleaded not guilty in all charges against him and said that he acted in self-defense.
