The jury acquitted Kyle on all counts. From what I saw on TV, it did look like the people Kyle shot were really attacking him, and he shot them in self defense. The jury saw it that way and they spent more time looking at video of the riot than I did. Good thing for Kyle the jury was able to acquit on all charges. Weasel juries will try to split the difference, convicting on some charges and acquitting on others. That weasel makes the defendant guilty but the jury can point to the charges they acquitted and claim they were doing the right thing. In Kyle's case, the jury did the right thing and acquitted him on all charges.
In this case a white teenager shoots three white rioters. I don't see how anyone can call Kyle, or anyone else in the case a racist.
The Kyle Rittenhouse trial was in Wisconsin. Bill de Blasio and Mario Cuomo (New Yorkers both of 'em) had comments on the case. What do a couple of New Yorkers know about a trial in Wisconsin??
