Questions asked following acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse

Political commentator Van Jones asks if we are experiencing a new era of vigilante behavior, following the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse. This month, a jury found Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges related to the fatal shooting of two people at an anti-racism protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The case has reignited debate over racial justice and gun rights.
