Liberals and conservatives spoke out after the fatal attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin, with some on the Left saying it might be karma for the Rittenhouse verdict.
At least five people were killed and more than 40 injured Sunday by a suspect who drove an SUV into a Christmas parade.
"Good god Wisconsin, wtf are we even doing here!?!??!" one self-described advocate tweeted. "Still waiting to hear if the shots that were fired came from the SUV or were fired at the SUV in 'self defense.'"

"Kyle Rittenhouse flashed white supremacist hand signals, while hanging out with an infamous white supremacist group ( & LE connected) The Proud Boys. So we understand his motivation," said Tariq Nasheed, a journalist and outspoken figure on social media. "But can anyone show proof that the #Waukesha suspect was a member of BLM, or if it was racial?"

"If it turns out the asshole that drove through the Christmas Parade in Wisconsin did so because he was 'angry & confused' by the Rittenhouse verdict as President Biden expressed in his statement, I hope Biden is blamed for inciting violence," said Kimberly Klacik, a former Republican congressional nominee. "That statement was reckless."
