How many of these students actually watched the trial and understand the legal ramifications? This is just more campus left-wing virtue signalling.

Wisconsin college students protest Kyle Rittenhouse verdictIn response to the not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, students attending Lawrence University, a liberal arts college in Wisconsin, held a protest, calling it a travesty of justice.Several dozen students converged at the Appleton, Wisconsin campus, which is about 150 miles north of Kenosha. They chanted and held signs comparing the verdict to the cases of Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin and called for a “retrial.”“If Kyle Rittenhouse was a black man … he would have been found guilty today,” student Anders Hanhan told WBAY, which covered the Nov. 19 event.Hanhan, whose Twitter bio describes him as an “eco-socialist,” posted a few days prior to the verdict that “Kyle Rittenhouse did not act in self defense the same way that Derek Chauvin did not act in self defense. Period. #NoJusticeNoPeace.”Another student, Gustavo Zuniga, told the news station: “We just want to show our solidarity with people in Kenosha right now. We’re up in Appleton, and we just want to show that people up here in the Fox Valley are supporting the people fighting for this change in Kenosha right now.”While some students in Wisconsin voiced their anger over the verdict, there are other students who did not take part who said the protest was not surprising.“Our campus overall leans towards pretty liberal views and many students feel strongly on sharing their opinions surrounding national events such as the trial and verdict,” Stephaune Haylock, a sophomore at Lawrence University, told The College Fix. According to Haylock, the protest was not a large event on campus.
