Minneapolis Protest Sign: Protesting is Not a Crime, Murder Is

A handmade sign reading "Protesting is Not a Crime, Murder Is" was displayed during a protest in Downtown Minneapolis. The sign reflects sentiments expressed during protests related to the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, which took place in November 2021. The Rittenhouse case involved charges stemming from fatal shootings during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. This message highlights the protesters' view that exercising the right to protest is fundamental, contrasting it with acts of violence.
