Looks like Kyle Rittenhouse might have a halfway decent judge for his trial. Judge says persecution can’t use at trial any affiliation with the Proud Boys, or the alleged altercation with a female (which now appears to have been in defense of his sister, not some random or “racist” assault) from a month or so before the Kenosha shootings. And while he deferred ruling on a video where Rittenhouse said he would like to shoot looters, the judge did say he was inclined to exclude that too.
There’s also a motion to dismiss the underage possession charge that has been deferred. Be interesting to see if that gets tossed. From my reading of the relevant WI law I think it should be. Granted, I think all of the charges should be dismissed.

Regardless of any "dumb kid" stuff he did before or after the incident, every bit of evidence shown to the public so far shows a clear case of self defense. He should be found not guilty. I imagine that there will be George Floyd levels of "peaceful" protests when that happens.
-
If he gets off the autistic screeching from the left will be beyond any level seen previously
-
Who should be on trial is the Democrat Governor that allowed these violent and destructive ‘protests’ to go on for political gain. If the governor had been doing his job, Kyle wouldn’t have been there and armed to begin with and wouldn’t have had to face down multiple violent threats against him.

The deceased scumbags were white, so maybe not.

This sounds like good news for Kyle. I hope it turns out that way and some "politician" doesn't try to pull the rug out from under him and his attorneys.
Rather than quote all the previous posts, I'll just say I agree with all of them. Keep us posted as this is the first news I have heard about this in weeks. [popcorn]

They probably will -- that's firmly established legal precedent (if not principle). It shouldn't make any difference. Rittenhouse was assaulted, and he acted in self defense. That's all that should matter.
-

Hmmmm. . . good question. Thinking back to the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin incident, I remember the press and the prosecution were digging deep into Zimmerman's past, hoping they could portray him as some sort of white hispanic mixture of Simon Legree, David Duke, and (of course) Hitler. This was considered right and proper. But when the defense happened to mention that THC from pot smoking was found in Martin's autopsy, and when unflattering pix of Martin began circulating on the internet, the press and prosecution were apoplectic in their outrage.
I won't be surprised to see something similar in the Rittenhouse trial - but without the racial component since shooter and shootees weren't black. (On the other hand, it WAS a typically peaceful BLM protest, right?)

Force Expert: Rittenhouse Decisions to Shoot Were Reasonable
https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2021-10-04/rittenhouse-due-in-court-for-likely-final-motions-hearing
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — An Illinois man who shot three people during a protest over police brutality in Wisconsin last year was justified because the men confronted him and two of them tried to wrestle his gun away, a use-of-force expert called by the defense testified at a pretrial hearing Tuesday.
While I agree that Rittenhouse's actions were justified, I'm not sure what difference it will make. This is a political prosecution, so the facts don't really matter.
-
Even if they let him go every SJW race baiting lawyer and activist within a 500 mile radius will make his life a living hell.

The main difference is none of the people shot were brown. Not sure if that will make a difference or not.

They were there for a "brown cause".
I'm sure something along those lines will be used against him

Why just "brown" and not "black"?!? Are you guys shading people?!? Racists! Nazis!

I hope he learns from OJ and Zimmerman and disappears. Go to live quietly somewhere in a small red county.

I dunno. I'm a firm believer in "not guilty" for this trial, but he's a kid, and has already made some dumb choices outside of this. I'm afraid he'll end up in the news like Zimmerman. Maybe not from consciously doing something stupid, but from "kid" doing something stupid. As an unknown kid, no one would take notice, because kids do dumb stuff, but he is going to be followed around by media for years.

He might not be allowed to disappear for a loooong time. If they have to the left will send useful idiots to bait him into doing something they can portray as stupid.
Zimmerman was stupid enough they didn’t need to bait him.

Yes, leftists can be hateful, vindictive, and hold grudges. Look at the one guy who shot at Zimmerman after seeing him driving around. He doesn't have to do anything stupid for this to follow him. That will happen no matter what.

Young Mr. Rittenhouse will be going to jail. This is a political trial that he cannot win, regardless whether he is guilty or not. (For the record, I believe he acted in self-defense and is therefore not guilty.) He really needs to be thinking about how he is going to survive in the big house.

The judge seems to be trying to be fair, unlike the Chauvin judge. So, maybe he has half a chance. Depends on the jury.
But I agree with you otherwise. If he does wind up in prison he will most likely spend a LOT of time in solitary confinement. For his safety. Which it will be to some extent, but also as a means of torturing him. The government in WI is not happy with him, obviously, and will do everything they can to break him.
He’s over 18 now, so he won’t go to juvie. His best bet will probably be to get with the Jesus freaks, or some non-gang group that can still offer a degree of protection if he’s not in solitary. Worst thing he could do would be to align with a white gang like Aryan Nation. That would just harden the perception that he was a white supremacist from the beginning.
-
If he’s convicted on the murder/attempted murder/assault counts he will go to a maximum security prison. Violent offenses like that automatically get you sent there, regardless of any other potential considerations.
If he only gets convicted on the minor in possession of a weapon charge he likely would get probation or perhaps a short stint on a medium or even low security prison. That is a misdemeanor so I don’t think it’s possible to sentence him to more than a year, and doubtful could send him to maximum security on it alone.

Hopefully the jury is comprised of people who are not amused a bunch of Antifa decided to burn their city to the ground and aren’t unhappy two of them got turned into good communists.

I'm not hopeful. From what I saw, the population there seems pretty progressive. I guess it depends on how far into the sticks the county there goes for if they will have a diverse jury pool.

I'm inclined to agree. The usual suspects on social media are losing their excrement over the ruling.
On a tangent: I have the impression that lots of people have already made up their minds on the matter: to some Rittenhouse is obviously guilty, to others he's obviously innocent. When the verdict is eventually reached, one group or the other will take it as proof that the system is irrevocably broken.
What that means for the future of our criminal-justice system is not promising.

The future of our criminal justice system is a secondary effect. That such a large number of people are incapable of groking righteous self defense means our educational system is also irretrievably broken (not a surprise to anyone with school age kids). And that our media is also irredeemably opposed to freedom of, well, anything.
All of which means it’s only a matter of time until the whole damn thing comes crumbling down. It’s basically already there, just that enough people haven’t noticed yet.
-

I suspect most of those people are unaware that Rittenhouse was even being attacked. They just think he was firing on the mostly peaceful demonstrators at the mostly peaceful demonstration.

The narrative that was and still is being pushed on Zimmerman is that he chased down a poor totally innocent 8 year old black kid that was minding his own business and then shot him in the back while he as on the ground. I'm sure that's the only version many have heard and anyone who questions that version is labeled a lying racist. Much the same is being done with Rittenhouse. Or for that matter in the Breonna Taylor case to a large extent as well.

And Mike Brown and Jacob Blake.
EDIT: And going way, way, back, Rodney King.

One point that I never see picked apart is that it is reported to this day that past tense scumbag #1 was unarmed and threw a plastic bag at Rittenhouse. Okay, go get an empty dollar store bag and throw it. Now look at the video. Was that a bag or a brick wrapped in a bag?

Iirc he had just been released from a mental hospital or jail earlier that day. The bag held some of his personal stuff like toothpaste, hair brush, etc. Depending on what was in there it could have been enough weight to effectively throw.
-
The thread title should be "Kyle trial." It rhymes! We should always refer to the mob's intended victim as Kyle, not Rittenhouse. This humanizes him, in the same way that referring to Martin as Trayvon humanized him, and made him more sympathetic. Americans must start to use language as a weapon, in much the same way the enemy does. (Without the chronic mendacity, of course.)

And if you're being mobbed by a bunch of fascists/racists, as Kyle was, you might feel it necessary to assume the worst about what might be in the bag. That's the kind of thing Leftists can't grasp, unless it happened to one of their own.

I’m not sure he even realized at the time anything had been thrown at him. It doesn’t materially affect the righteousness of his self defense claim. Even had nothing been thrown he would have been fully justified in shooting ex-scumbag #1. That it was thrown makes it a little easier to show self defense but it isn’t necessary.

I remain deeply disappointed that there are multiple members on one of the pro-gun, pro-2A discussion forums who continue to pronounce -- in no uncertain terms -- that Rittenhouse is guilty of murder. When challenged, they just double down.
It's no wonder the Second Amendment is in trouble in this country.

I believe I have noticed that before. Some people seem to get in the mindset that if you self defense wasn't perfectly done it doesn't count. But I haven't read the comments you mention. Wonder if those people are not really as pro-2A, pro-self defense as they claim to be.

To put it bluntly, I think it comes down to their just not being nearly as intelligent as they like to think they are.

They're going to look pretty stupid when the defense roll the videos. Which BTW doesn't bother me in the least. They should look stupid for trying to pass off obvious BS as what happened.
I watched all this that night as it happened on a live feed.

If it's a thing, I suppose a good lawyer would chose to lie about something difficult to refute. A lawyer lying that gravity makes things go up looks pretty stupid when someone drops an apple on his head five minutes later.

Why would anyone ever think it is the duty of the public prosecutor to lie to juries to obtain a conviction?! That is the literal definition of prosecutorial misconduct.

There can be no doubt that this kid showing up with a rifle to what he expected to be a riot was a dumb decision. Playing militia or whatever he was doing will have lifelong consequences.
That said, this case is in many ways the inverse Zimmerman. There’s video, and each person shot probably committed some form of crime immediately before being shot. The murder charges are a massive uphill battle for the prosecution.
If this had been in FL, it strikes me as very likely (unlike Zimmerman) the defense would have used a stand your ground hearing to try and get immunity from prosecution.
-
The big question, to me at least, is will they be pressured to convict to prevent riots. I expect the prosecution will be dropping hints.

So Trayvon beating the *expletive deleted*it out of Zimmerman wasn’t a crime?
Also, SYG doesn’t matter here either. Rittenhouse was literally running away and only fired when cornered. Even in a duty to retreat state he would have met the requirements for legitimate self defense.

Zimmerman knew MartÃn was trying to get away from
him and gave chase. He lucked out because the prosecution charged him with depraved heart murder, alleged racial bias and then tossed in the charge that actually fit at the end of the trial. The lesson for would be neighbourhood commandos is not to rely on luck, but to avoid starting confrontations that could end in a shooting.
You’re missing my point about SYG hearings - they are a way to quickly and without betting on a jury get charges dismissed. It’s telling that Zimmerman didn’t use that method. In this case, were it available (which it is not apparently under WI law) that sort of hearing would probably have been used.

Oy. Not this crap again. Zimmerman wasn’t chasing Martin with a gun drawn like some Hollywood douch. He was on the phone with the cops trying to give them an accurate location, and backed off when asked by the cops to do so. He was then confronted my Martin, who by then was itching for a fight. The gun only came out when Zimmerman reasonably perceived his life was in danger.
For Rittenhouse SYG might have applied if he’d shot someone that was trying to assault his position and was refusing to back down, but he was running away and trying to avoid a fight when his pursuers forced his hand. He wasn’t standing his ground, he was trying to get away.

You are not understanding the difference between SYG the principle and SYG the procedure, whereby in FL a Judge can determine a person is immune from prosecution without ever putting tje case to a jury.
A SYG hearing, again, is one where you cannot be convicted, but if a Judge finds you were lawfully exercising a right to self defence, further prosecution is barred. You do not need to risk a jury not buying your story in order to defeat the charge before trial in FL.
The fact that Zimmerman had that option available and did not take it is the best refutation of your statement of facts in his case.

I think you did not read what I said about the Rittenhouse case, or else you’d see how ridiculous it is to call that evaluation one that is “part of the minds of libtards.”

So, Martin wasn't actually on a gay bashing tangent? Like what his lady friend suggested?
And... During the last bit of troubles here, one of the local stop'n'robs got looted two nights in a row. The third night, there was a guy sitting in the front door with an AR.
Was that a bad idea?
Didn't get looted again.

A differing opinion is one thing, Posting blatant lies and then attempting to ridicule anyone that disagrees with the lie is another.
My opinion is that anyone that still attempts to push the false Zimmerman narrative, or the bullshit "hands up" Brown narrative or other divisive false narratives deserves any pejoratives and ridicule they collect.

That includes calling the Jan 6 events at the Capitol an "insurrection." Call it a "Disturbance" if you will, "Vandalism & Trespassing" is accurate, and I can even accept "Riot" even though I saw nothing on a level with the "peaceful protests" that gripped Minneapolis, Chicago, Portland, and other places. But a bunch of unarmed people who break a few windows, damage a few doors, and march around where they're not supposed to be before going back to their hotels to have supper and watch TV is the worst excuse for an "insurrection" I've ever seen or heard of.
-

him and gave chase.
That's completely untrue.
Zimmerman had been following (not "chasing") Martin, but had lost sight of him and was returning to his car. Martin circled around and ambushed Zimmerman.
You MUST know that -- it has been covered in extreme detail in multiple reports, even those not generally favorable or sympathetic to Zimmerman. What do you hope to accomplish by maintaining such a patently false narrative?

Obviously it would have been valuable to have De Selby testifying as a psychic witness during the Zimmerman trial.
What I've seen so far from the Rittenhouse trial is that the prosecutor appears to be very slick, although butts heads with the judge on procedural matters from time to time. The defense counsel doesn't have nearly as good delivery.
The judge seems to be doing his level best to ensure a fair trial but should probably pay less attention to the media coverage of the trial.
They just showed the FBI surveillance footage. If that was supposed to be their smoking gun they're screwed. Their claim is that it shows that Rittenhouse was chasing the child rapist prior to entering the parking lot, and that Mr. Molester let him run past then charged in behind Rittenhouse and started chasing him.
Yes, Rittenhouse was behind the boy diddler, but the video shows a lot of people running in the same direction and doesn't demonstrate to me that he was chasing the chomo. Rittenhouse didn't follow the rapist when he turned to the right beside some cars, and indeed Rittenhouse continued on past the diaper sniper. It was pretty obvious, though, when the scumbag decided to give chase to Rittenhouse. After that, everything is as shown by the other videos available.
-
Also, Gaige Grosskreutz (blasted bicep dude) had a warrant issued for his phone after the shootings. It is interesting to note that the police did not execute that warrant because Gaige's lawyer complained about a Marcy's Law concern. The detective testified that he had never before had a signed warrant that they chose not to execute.

The persecutions “damning” infrared video in the link showing Rittenhouse as the “aggressor” and “proving” his “guilt”.
Now, call me crazy/deluded if you wish, but that video appears to show Rosenbaum lying in an ambush position and then chasing Rittenhouse once he has opportunity, leading to the fatal shooting. More like exculpatory evidence than anything else.
If Rittenhouse isn’t acquitted on the murder and related charges then self defense legal protections are in serious jeopardy. I think he should be acquitted on even the gun possession charge based on my reading of the relevant WI statute. But IANAL, so maybe I’m wrong on that. I suppose if he gets convicted on that one it won’t be a complete miscarriage of justice.

Well, the cell phone thing was certainly interesting. That, coupled with Marcy's Law, sure seems like maybe Binger has an agenda other than getting at the truth.

I read an article a couple of days ago that described what happened to a photographer who had been covering the riot. Binger had him come in, and tried mightily to get him to change the written statement he had given to the police -- to make it more damaging to Rittenhouse. When the photographer [rightly] refused to change his story, the DA reportedly blew his top.

If innocent until proven guilty, with his innocence bearing on the argument that he was defending himself, Kyle is in fact the victim unless proven otherwise.

From that article:
But Schroeder will allow Joseph Rosenbaum, 36; Anthony Huber, 26; and the injured Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, to be referred to as looters, rioters and arsonists in open court. Never mind that these victims – that word again – were never convicted (or even charged) of actual looting the night they were shot.
So tell me, what did they loot? Is there evidence to suggest they set things ablaze with criminal intent? Do videos exist showing them rioting?
Um.....Yes. Did you not watch the videos?
Also, I think it's fair to argue Mr. Grosskreutz got more than a presumption of innocence for his actions on the night in question.

Agreed, both on the part of Rittenhouse and the police.

As an aside about "laying low" after the trial, I just saw this in the local commie news:

Apparently Zimmerman (who actually seems to have been laying low for the last couple of years) was going to be a speaker, so the usual liberals in Boise harangued the hotel into canceling the conference.
-
I'm enjoying the debates between the judge and the attorneys more than the repetitive witness testimony.
The prosecution wanted to get dead skateboard dude's great-aunt to testify to his bravery and heroism (thereby implying that his chasing Rittenhouse and trying to take his gun was true to character in a positive way) and after the jury was dismissed the defense read some testimony from a case against dead skateboard dude wherein said skateboard dude forced his brother and grandmother at knifepoint to clean a room, threatened to gut his brother like a pig, and threatened to burn the house down with them inside it. The defense said that if the witness could testify to skateboard dude's heroism then they wanted to bring up that less savory evidence. The judge ultimately said that the prosecution could decide whether they wanted to have the great aunt testify to bravery but he was likely to allow the evidence from the defense.
The prosecution decided to drop the question.

Pedophile's fiancée testified. It's interesting how the prosecution are skirting some of the unpleasant details about pedo and his relationship with the fiancée which was - as I understand - strained to the point that there was some sort of order for him to not stay with her.
The prosecution is sweating because they brought up the fact that he was just home from the hospital. Defense wanted to use that as a reason to bring up that he was in a mental hospital which the judge didn't like, but then because medications were mentioned in testimony, they asked to be able to question the fiancée about the medication that the pedo had been taking or not taking. The judge allowed that, which introduced the fact that pedo was bipolar.

I almost wonder if the persecution isn’t trying to lose. Like, they had to take it to trial for political reasons, but don’t actually want a conviction. But they can’t make it look tooooo obvious.
However that would assume a level of cunning I seriously doubt they possess.

That testimony was.....not great for the state.
For those that don't want to scroll through the live feed the highlights are the defense got Grosskreutz (the dude shot in the arm) to confirm that an earlier person ran up to Kyle, didn't attack, and Kyle held fire, then he admitted that when he was shot, he was moving towards Kyle, three feet away, and pointing a loaded Glock at Kyle.
It seems al though after the lunch break the defense is going to ask him about his roommates tweet where he is quoted as saying that he regrets not mag dumping into Kyle. But honestly the "Moving forward and pointing a gun at him" part is probably all they needed. ADA Binger literally put his head in his hands at the prosecution table.

What is that quote, 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes'. The risk manager generally recommends against pointing loaded firearms at other people, especially when the other people are holding ARs.

I think that guy corrupted his own testimony and they got the key admission in before lunch (or so I heard). I think the defense can call him back later if they wish to, but they got the important part they needed (IMO). I would think going after every little point might get tedious and make the jury forget the main admission.

That could be. It just stood out to me as a low hanging fruit to impeach his credibility.
-
His credibility is already gone to anybody listening. He said he was approaching Rittenhouse because he was concerned for his (Rittenhouse's) safety after getting hit in the head with a skateboard. He had the gun in his hand because he thought there was an active shooter, but couldn't ever shoot someone because of his "do no harm" oath. And after chasing him (with a Glock in his hand), then backing away, he couldn't really explain why he lunged at Rittenhouse with his pistol accidentally pointed at him.
-
His credibility is already gone to anybody listening.
I agree, but lawyers love to make explicit what should have been implicitly understood.
The judge mentioned at the beginning of the trial today that someone was videoing the jurors at the pickup and police forced them to delete the video. He also said he gave orders that if it happens again they are to take the phone.

He just won the case for the defense. Why would they want to impeach his credibility?
The point is to impeach Blasted Bicep Boy's testimony relating to his own actions. He was testifying that he was not chasing Rittenhouse, was not moving to shoot him, was not intentionally pointing his gun at him, and wouldn't have shot him regardless because of his medical oath.
If the defense had pointed out that his routinely carrying a loaded firearm specifically for the purpose of self defense conflicted with his stated position of "do no harm" and being unwilling to injure or kill someone then it calls into deeper question the truth of his statement about chasing Rittenhouse, moving to shoot him, and intentionally pointing a gun at him. Same reason they're trying to get his roommate's post about BBB saying his only regret was not emptying his gun into Rittenhouse admitted into evidence.
Earlier, there was another potential "gotcha" where BBB testified that he was not protesting and as a medic was treating people without respect to their affiliation, but also can be heard on the video calling out Rittenhouse for offering to help an injured protester because "we have our own medics". I didn't think that was as impactful and didn't mind them missing out on that. Of course, they did connect the dots on some of his hard left affiliations.
-
Defense got the medical examiner to testify that the injury to the pedo's hand was either in contact or within a few inches of the barrel, and that the distance from the injury to the pelvis was between 1 foot and 4 feet.
The drone video (not the FBI's thermal, but another one) shows the pedo shooting from a better angle which still looks righteous.

Yikes. This is the chance for the prosecution to pull a a Grosskreutz on the defense. Rittenhouse is still a young kid. No matter how much they prep him, there is still a good chance that the prosecution can lead him to saying something stupid in cross-examination.
I agree that they should never have called him. I hope it doesn't backfire.

I'm curious where the prosecutor is going with his ammo questions. He's really stressing the fact that Rittenhouse used FMJ and implying it was likely to pass through the target and hit another target. He was claiming hollowpoints would "explode inside the target" and full metal jackets were "designed to pass through and hit another target beyond". The judge shut him down on that and then called for a lunch break.
Probably trying to show danger to the reporter that was behind the pedo, but I am unaware of any passthroughs that caused injury to another person and many of the rounds that hit were actually contained within the person shot.
-
I thought I read that the reporter took spall from either a pass through or a miss that hit the ground near him.
-
"He was claiming hollowpoints would "explode inside the target" and full metal jackets were "designed to pass through and hit another target beyond"."
Just shows that he doesn't know jack about how .223 FMJ acts at close range.

The defense is not trying to prove KR didn't shoot those people. The defense is trying to prove that KR acted in self defense. Putting Kyle on the stand gives the defense a chance to show Kyle's perspective of the danger and it will show what a reasonable person would do.

In my vastly experienced jury mind not putting him up there would make me think there was something to hide. Doesn’t meet the standards of proof of course but jurors are stupid.

The prosecution questions Rittenhouse's choosing of an AR-15 because "it resembled the types of weapons that are used in first person shooter video games," in which gamers "pretty much shoot anyone who comes at you."
Oh good *expletive deleted*ing grief. :facepalm:

Mistrial with prejudice? Never heard of such thing. You mean dismissed with prejudice? Maybe it's a distinction w/o a difference.

If they get a mistrial would that not open up Rittenhouse to be more vulnerable to a more competent prosecution?
Right now the prosecution is doing a fine job of *expletive deleted*ing up their case so is it wise to interrupt them?

Binger kept pushing Kyle to admit he was trying to use deadly force to protect property.
The judge told the jury to leave then absolutely tore into Binger. Literally yelling at him for failing to respect his previous rulings.
Watched that. It was.... Impressive. It got to the point I was almost starting to feel bad for Binger. Almost.
Ok, not really, but dayum, it was a beatdown.

Unless you're an antifa medic with an expired carry permit who wouldn't ever actually shoot anyone because, you, know, "do no harm," of course.
-

A mistrial with prejudice would mean that Rittenhouse can't be tried again on the same charges.
However, I believe if the judge were to make such a ruling, the state could appeal it. Considering Binger's antics, I think they'd be crazy to appeal it. Judges don't like lawyers who ignore other judges' rulings.

The judge in the #KyleRittenhouseTrial has selected as his ringtone the anthem of the fascist Donald Trump, who attempted to overthrow the American government on January 6, 2021.

Mistrial with prejudice? Never heard of such thing. You mean dismissed with prejudice? Maybe it's a distinction w/o a difference.
My understanding is that a dismissal is due to lack of evidence, whereas the mistrial is due (in this case) by prosecutorial malfeasance in attempting to repeatedly ask questions that either are just plain not allowed (such as discussing the fact that Rittenhouse [was smart] and kept his mouth shut without an attorney present) or that the judge had already ruled on being off limits. Basically one opinion I saw was that the prosecution knows they have f'ed up so badly that they are intentionally trying to cause a mistrial to get a do-over, but the defense is having none of that and is basically saying that if they force a mistrial it needs to be granted with prejudice to prevent the prosecution from doing that.

Trial day 7 review

"DON'T GET BRAZEN WITH ME!"
:rofl:
-
A few points...
First, the prosecutor's question...it is not just a violation of the judge's ruling, it's a violation of Rittenhouse's Constitutional Right to Remain Silent under the 5th Amendment. I was a prosecutor, and that right there is one of the most basic rules of criminal trials...you cannot ask a defendant about remaining silent. Period.
Mistrial are not just a result of prosecution misconduct. Anything procedural that goes wrong during a trial that taints the jury's ability to fairly rule on a case can cause a mistrial. Often times, a mistrial can result from an honest mistake, so you basically start over with a new jury pool. An example I experienced was the judge, defense counsel and I discussing an evidentiary issue in the judge's chambers, not knowing the judge's wireless microphone had broken and was on (it would not turn off). The jury was in the courtroom and heard too much of the discussion before a deputy ignored the Do Not Enter sign on the office door and came in to tell us. Oops.
Now, if the judge declares a mistrial and dismissed the case with prejudice, it's done. The State cannot appeal, because it would amount to double jeopardy. That's why judge's very rarely dismiss with prejudice...fundamental fairness to both sides. But, given the way the judge ripped tge prosecutor's ass for this misconduct, I'll guess that it's possible but not likely. If there is a conviction, which I doubt, this will be on the appeal. And the judge knows this. And judge's don't like to have decisions reversed.

Back when I was working for the newspaper I knew the guy who was sitting as the county judge. His family and my family had been friends for many years...
I forget the context of why I asked him, probably something that I had read on the AP news wires in my job as a reporter, but I asked him if he had ever dismissed a case with prejudice. He said that hardly any cases are dismissed with prejudice...
He also made the judge in the Rittenhouse trial look like a cuddly teddy bear most of the time. He was one grouchy SOB on the bench. :rofl:

Oddly enough, I just found a news article about a case being dismissed with prejudice in Ohio earlier this month.

I watched a lot of the trial from yesterday. The part I liked best was when the prosecutor asked Rittenhouse how he knew that it was illegal for him to have a pistol in WI but a rifle was OK. He answered that police officers told him that when they were shooting at the range. The prosecutor objected that it was hearsay, and the judge pointed out that he ask the question himself.
My experience in court cases is very limited, but I'll bet a judge doesn't rip into the prosecutor like that very often. He was almost speechless.

I didn't look at those details, but people like Steven Crowder played a bunch of the video from the shooting so the basic facts of the case were fairly clear. I didn't go out of my way to research things, but the media I do watch covered quite a bit of it.
I guess anything that pops some of the progressive bubbles these people are trapped in, so much the better. At least they might be open to alternative ideas more after this.

Binger just got slapped down again. He didn't like the answer a witness gave, so he helpfully "reminded" the witnes that he is testifying under oath.

To be fair though, self-defense laws can be quite state-specific and what seems unusual or ignorant to you in your state may be spot on in the poster's state. For example, here in Washington, I would most likely get a self-defense jury instruction for someone pointing a Glock at me. Someone trying to strike me with a skateboard, probably not depending on the circumstances.

It is probably even better without context, but okay.
The prosecution was trying to admit stills from a blurry drone video to prove that Rittenhouse pointed his gun at some rioters shortly before being attacked by the pedo. They used a process called interpolation to try to clarify that video. There are various interpolation algorithms that try to average the color of nearby pixels in order to add additional pixels. Defense is arguing this might produce an inaccurate perception of what is happening when the picture is enlarged to that point. The judge was asking about those new pixels and jokingly referred to them as uncharged pickles.

I know some of you don't like the Twitchy links with the conservative bias, but frankly, they are one of the few sources highlighting the MSM bias and actually linking to facts in this case.
Because of the MSM, we have people believing Rittenhouse went on a shooting spree against black people, or shot totally innocent bystanders, or ran after people instead of running from them, and Grosskreutz is considered a hero.
Plus the Hollywood celebrity input, that sadly affects way to many sheep:

Looking pretty good on the illegal possession of the rifle by a minor charge. Judge said he is inclined to force the jury to search the evidence presented to determine if the prosecution proved that the rifle was a short barreled rifle (defense already got a detective to say that it wasn't at one point) before convicting on that count. The prosecution definitely didn't present evidence to show that.

The judge seems to lose focus at times today. Kind of undecided and wish washy sometimes, other times he seems pretty solid on jury instructions.

I can't help but think that the attacks in the MSM and the late night shows might be affecting him. He might be starting to second guess himself on everything he says, worried about how it might be twisted and affect the trial.
While I have watched portions of the trial with interest, I kinda wish it weren't televised, given the MSM and big tech.

Good day, week perhaps, to take a vacation and stay home.

The way I see it what the final verdict will pretty much depend on whether or not the jury can shrug off any real or imagined threats now.
Although the final verdict may not matter to those just looking for an excuse to riot and loot.

You know a curious thing has occurred to me. I have to be in Chicago Thursday to Sunday. Downtown on Michigan avenue, staying at the Marriott.
What if... The rittenhouse trial ends in not guilty and the Arbery trial ends however? Downtown Chicago could be on fire again amid a serious shortage of police officers and sensible politicians.
I cannot take my GUNZ because Amtrak. I can probably take my fire extinguisher though.

Had the same thoughts. It's known that Antifa and/or BLM has been shooting video of the jurors as they entered and exited the courthouse. If the jurors themselves were made aware of this, they've got to be very concerned. They are not sequestered.

Supposedly you can if you're just passing through. I don't believe you can have it with you if you are staying in NYC. Don't know about Chicago.

I think you're pretty safe in that part of Chicago. And the weather forecast isn't favorable for looting and burning, or at least not looting. Don't forget your cane for your bad ankle maybe?
-
^^^^
Much like the beach forecasts around here, I'm imagining a riot forecast there: "Don't forget your sunscreen if you're out early, and wear a hat if you're going to (mostly peacefully) loot all night, it's going to be chilly"
-
It's nice and warm next to the fire.
-
Did the judge ever formally rule on the mistrial request?
I can't find anything that specifically states that he did.
-
Okay, all joking aside.
I don't think the left as a whole is nearly as invested in this case as they have been in others, ie Floyd, Brown. I think there may be some incidents but they'll be small and mostly isolated. There is always someone looking for an excuse, any excuse to go out and pick up a new big screen TV.
My biggest worries is for the jury and Kyle, especially Kyle. All it takes is one.
Now if there's another police on POC shooting during what ever does happen then all bets are off.
-
I'll agree that people like BLM may not be invested in this, but Kyle was really defending himself against antifa and antifa-like white people, so I would definitely expect them to all come out of the woodwork. It might end up being localized to places like Portland. Chicago seems like it's more BLM land rather than antifa land.
-
In antifa's case I think it will be more of case of the MSM paying attention to antifa being antifa for a short while.
We shall see.
Thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

I’m tired of hearing mother *expletive deleted*ers whining about “but the rule of law!”
The rule of law ceased to matter the second the police and politicians let the rioters run wild to burn, loot, and murder. I’m tired of people suddenly being concerned about every minute aspect of the shooting and law concerning Kyle having a rifle and defending himself buuutttt excusing the actions of the rioters that ultimately earned them their bullets. *expletive deleted*ck em. If Rittenhouse had shot each and every one of them it would have been a great thing.

Depends.
A mistrial with prejudice would mean that the state can't bring the same charges again.
A simple mistrial could result in a new trial... or it could result in the prosecution realizing that its case is so weak that it doesn't see any avenue for success in seeking another trial.

I haven't seen anything yet, but from the behavior of this DOJ so far, he won't get many steps. I also would expect them to use their favorite "domestic terrorist" line. I don't see any way of it sticking, and he would likely go free at some point. But it's all about breaking people via the process.
Kyle will likely get a bunch of pro bono defense offers if this happens, but not everyone the feds do this crap to gets that lucky.

The process is, in many way, the punishment.
I just hope Robert Barnes is at least on level involved after the verdict is in, whichever way things go.
-
How long do you suppose deliberations will last?
The longer it takes the more likely at least lesser included charges are going to return guilty verdicts. A very fast deliberation will either mean guilty on all charges or not guilty due to self defense on all charges. I’d say guilty is more likely in a super fast decision. A modestly long deliberation (say, a decision by tomorrow evening) is likely a not guilty verdict on at least the most serious charges. If it runs past Thursday I’d say it’s heading for a hung jury on some or all counts.

Hmmm . . . if they're afraid of violent riots when Kyle is acquitted . . . doesn't that mean it would be his assailant's supporters who are prone to violent rioting? And wouldn't that suggest that the people Kyle shot were the same kind of people?

The key bit is “provoking other people.” If the jury buys the story he was pointing the rifle at people right before the first shooting he is in serious trouble. There really wasn’t anything in the trial except that grainy video at the end, but who knows what a jury will do?
It’s better to never face a jury than have a great case.

I am listening to Steven Crowder's livestream. I thought CNN or someone said the prosecutor gets to rebut the defense after the defense closing arguments. Anyone know how it is done in Wisconsin?
For closing arguments, the prosecutor is talking an awful long time and practically reintroducing evidence. There needs to be a fixed time limit. He is playing videos and such.

This is an untrue statement. Under WI (and many others) law, while provoking, or threatening, a third party can be it's own crime, once he disengaged and ran he regains the right to self defense. Once one party communicates the desire to stop the engagement everyone is supposed to stop. By pursuing and cornering Kyle, Rosenbaum became the aggressor and Kyle had the right to defend himself.
And that's if you believe Kyle decided to be a southpaw for a sec and pointed the rifle at anyone.

That’s a great argument on the evidence and in general - unfortunately the prosecutor was not so generous, and there is a non-zero possibility the jury believes his version of provocation which was offered against a jury instruction quite different to your explanation of the law of WI.
It is absolutely true to say that if the jury believes the line about pointing the gun first, he’s in serious trouble. Because that means everything about his encounter with the first decedent turns on exhausting all avenues of retreat. Will they buy the provocation arguments?
Hard to say, but sure is a good reason to think it’s better to avoid these situations in the first place.

They should have dove for cover, since they were disarmed and couldn't shoot back.
Judge should have cleared the courtroom and had prosecutor arrested for reckless endangerment, or maybe even aggravated assault. The trial can continue without him, or declare the mistrial with prejudice.

Bailiff should have shot him, but I assume the bailiff doesn't have a gun. and also probably didn't realize what was happening.

The optic was removed by a detective when the rifle was placed into an evidence box.
-
It looked like a Sightmark red dot to me.
One similar to this one https://www.amazon.com/Sightmark-SM26005-Ultra-M-Spec-Reflex/dp/B00JAE11Z0/ref=sr_1_8?crid=2XFCAWJOQ6PQW&keywords=sightmark+red+dot&qid=1637067756&sprefix=sightmark+red%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-8
Sightmark has several models which use the same housing
-
Since seeing the carbine in court without the optic I've wondered why would they remove it considering it part of the evidence?

Has the judge ruled on the mistrial motion yet? I’m guessing he’ll deny it, if he hasn’t already but I had heard for sure.

Apparently not.
Kind of sounds like maybe the judge is waiting on the verdict and wants to see an acquittal. Might be holding onto the motion in case the jury doesn’t acquit.

DA FUQ????
Kyle Rittenhouse is shown on a video on Fox news pulling numbered balls out of a spinning mixing cage.
According to the story, he's PICKING THE JURORS who will be alternates, essentially picking his jury.
WTF is that?
It's like something out of the *expletive deleted*ing Hunger Games... Do other states do that?
-
I never heard of that.
-
But Kyle already competed in the Hunger Games. =D
-
They made him pull slips of paper out of a tumbler. I watched it. Rekieta Law's livestream said that was bizarre. Strange, but I guess it makes sense.
Edit to add: May the odds forever be in your favor.
or
Choose your fate!
-
Ah. I just assumed it was numbered balls.
-
But Kyle already competed in the Hunger Games. =D
And won. And that is what the left is upset about. If he was left dead in the street I highly doubt we would have heard anything about it in the MSM after a couple of days if at all except how a mass murder by a far right extremist was prevented by our three heroes.

Jury apparently deliberated for 45 minutes then requested copies of the jury instructions, particularly those sections pertaining to self defense.
-
I think it’s looking decently good for Kyle right now. Impossible to say for sure of course but I’d have to think that asking for the self defense instructions means they’re taking that part seriously. Which can only be good for Kyle.
I still think a hung jury, or conviction on some lesser included charges has to be at least as likely as full acquittal. But I’m slightly more hopeful now.
-
Probably at least 2 or 3 on the jury who already had their minds made up before the trial he's a racist far right wing mass murderer and completely zoned themselves out when anything counter to that came up in the trial. I would love to be proven wrong on that.
-
I can see acquittal or a hung jury, but I'm not so sure about lesser charges - there have got to be at least a FEW people on the Kenosha jury who didn't like the unchecked rioting and arson in their home town and have no sympathy at all for the deceased, and they may just dig in their heels as solidly against convicting Kyle of anything as the ones who " . . . already had their minds made up before the trial he's a racist far right wing mass murderer . . . " who needs to be convicted of everything.
But of course, that's just a guess - seasoned court observers and actual legal experts (not just TV personalities) have only limited success in predicting jury outcomes, so I wouldn't place any bets with my own money on what happens.
-
Biggest wildcard here is how much of the jury intimidation business got to the jury and how much it's going to influence them.

JKM was the reason for the second reckless endangerment charge.

Unaware, I paid little attention to the lesser charges except to note that the weapon charge was bogus. Still BS, intentionally firing a gun at a specific person with intent to hit them shouldn’t be reckless endangerment. They just didn’t want to identify the guy for obvious reasons.

I was already afraid some jurors might be emotionally compromised from the doxxing threats or even just, "one man's innocence is not worth rioting."
I'm wondering if regardless of the law, some jurors might be making an argument to convict on something, even a lesser charge, even if they know he is innocent, just to appease the mob.
Which, sadly, goes back to what DeSelby mentioned above about "don't wind up in front of a jury". The direction that the US is heading continues to strengthen the "lay low in the boonies" argument.

My prediction is a hung jury with more voting for acquittal than guilty. Maybe that's why the judge has not ruled yet on the motion for a mistrial with prejudice; he's keeping it in his back pocket in case the jury can't reach a verdict

We need a full acquittal in this, anything less with the judge calling a mistrial with prejudice will just leave an open wound and fuel even more riots than a full acquittal

Maybe they just want another free lunch. When I did jury duty once it was a slam dunk verdict in about 30 seconds but that seemed as though we didn't do any deliberations so as a group we decided to hold off informing them we had a verdict until they fed us one more lunch. The a couple of hours after lunch, but before the traffic picked up we returned our verdict. =D

Yep - the whole “jury nullification” thing works both ways. And to draw it back to dogmush’s world, at the time of Zimmerman FL copped heat for the SYG law and how it stops cases from going to juries, even though it had no role in Zimmerman’s trial - but a heavily politically charged self defense trial seems to be a textbook example of why you’d want this Pre trial, judge only option for shutting down a prosecution.

The Rodney King cops caught federal charges after the jury in the state level case acquitted them. A mistrial with prejudice is functionally equivalent to an acquittal.

So, aside from the complete miscarriage of justice such a case would represent, and the political backlash that they know won’t happen anyway, what’s to stop them?

In order for the feds to charge and prosecute him, there has to be a federal law that he broke. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any. All the people he shot were white, and he's white, so they can't claim it was a racial incident or a hate crime.

What federal law did the Rodney King cops break?
They claimed civil rights violations because there weren’t any federal laws broken. It was case that never should have happened but it did and it set precedent as a result.
The whites Rittenhouse killed were the good kind. [NPR voice] Clearly [/NPR Voice]. So it can still be a racist hate crime.

I’m sure the Biden regime has instructed the feds to file charges as soon as an acquittal or mistrial occurs.

Look at what they are doing to 06JAN protestors. People are still being held without bail, and I shockingly read recently that some of them have "accidently" been put in situations where they were beaten during their one hour of free time while others have been denied basic needs, like showers.
I never thought I would be in a situation where I had to talk about the United States, the beacon of freedom in the world, as if we were North Korea, but here we are. Thanks deep state.

Never underestimate the left's, MSM's, and Fed Govt's ability to twist anything they want, no matter how stupid it may be, into a racist hate crime.
Our unarmed heroes of justice were peacefully protesting for a black justice cause in an unjust racist white supremacist country when a flag waving Trump supporter chased them down and gunned them down in the street. Thus he committed a chargeable racist hate crime against black justice protesters.

Two jurors holding decision up, outright citing backlash, per US Marshal in Kenosha
I am just now listening to the news and they said that the protestors have been so loud that they can be clearly heard inside the building. I'm unsure if the jurors are sequestered there or elsewhere, but if there, and they are hearing those violent threats, the above quote seems quite plausible.

Yea, I should have thought of that. Also the Feds were ready to arrest the officer that kneeled on Floyd's neck if he was acquitted. So I would guess some depravation of civil rights charge because of the penumbra of race. Strange that we have come to that and still call it law.

Pros. sent a compressed version of the drone video to defense, when they had the full resolution
Lots of issues with image resolution in this trial.
Assistant District Attorney James Kraus accused defense attorneys of making a dishonest argument because the enlarged footage “shows their client is lying.” The defense team's hired video analyst used similar software to enlarge video footage during his testimony earlier Thursday, Kraus noted.
“All due respect to Your Honor, I think the defense is trying to take advantage of your lack of knowledge about technology which you’ve expressed,” Kraus said.
Schroeder’s confusion with the technical details was obvious in court. Earlier in the week, he questioned whether using the pinch-and-zoom feature on an iPad would alter an image and barred prosecutors from using that while presenting video evidence to jurors.
“I totally agree with your comment about my lack of familiarity with these concepts, although logic, I have some logical skills,” he said on Thursday. “This is a difficult concept for me, yes.”
-
99% sure we're either going to have an acquittal or a mistrial with prejudice.

Lots of issues with image resolution in this trial.
Honestly I never considered whether the iPhone video zoom would use interpolation. I wouldn't have assumed that it does, but I don't know that for a fact. I know phones do tons of post-processing of photos and videos they record to get a better image out of the limited camera capabilities so I don't see why they couldn't upscale a video on playback. However, assuming the defense were given a low resolution video presented to them as the full video, I could also see them considering the higher resolution video shown by the prosecution as likely having been upscaled.
The defense also objected to using a 4k TV for playing 1080P video as many high resolution TVs are capable of doing upscaling via interpolation. That is also true, however I don't know if the TV in question was set up to do that.
Ultimately, though, I never saw anything in any of the video or stills they claim clearly demonstrates that Rittenhouse pointed his gun at the Zaminskis. Do you?

The only logical reason for the judge to hold back on ruling on the mistrial motions is to let the jury acquit Rittenhouse, and only make the rulings if the hang or convict.
Those persecutors need to be removed from their jobs and barred from ever working in law again.

I know the Feds filed civil rights charges against the cops in the Rodney King incident, and were prepared to do the same in the George Floyd incident - many thought that this violated the Constitution's prohibition against double jeopardy, but the contrary view prevailed. But note - in each case, the Federal civil rights charges were targeting government employees who were alleged to have violated a person's civil rights under color of law. IANAL, but I don't see much of an opening for similar charges against Kyle - unless they just decide to proceed anyway with bogus charges based on the unspoken premise that "the process is the punishment." (The Feds were involved in the George Zimmerman case as investigators, but note, no federal charges were actually filed after Zimmerman's acquittal.)
As far as the yahoos outside the courthouse, the news report I saw said there were both "protestors" and "counter-protestors" out in front, but the newsies made no attempt to interview any or give an idea of the relative size of the two groups.
I still don't see that every person on a Kenosha jury will vote to convict Kyle of anything since even the prosecutor said the perps were involved in the rioting that destroyed a good part of their home town. But it only takes one person who either loves antifa/blm, hates guns, or is intimidated by the protestors to dig in their heels as a lone voice for conviction and hang the jury.
-
So if I got this right.
What they're saying is the prosecution took a clear(er) high res video, made a compressed lower res copy or at the very least withheld the higher res ver, then "enhanced" the low res compressed ver, then showed the jury the "enhanced" version and then basically told the jury what they were seeing in the glob of pixels.
Right?
Image recording by it's very nature creates image artifacts, compressing it creates more image artifacts, then "Enhancing" creates even more image artifacts on top of that.
:facepalm:

Find a jpeg with small details. Lets call it Photo A
Resize it to half, save as Photo B. Note every time you save a jpeg, which is a compressed format, the image is recompressed* thus losing detail each time.
Then resize it back.
Zoom in on small tiny details and compare both.
*Many programs allow you to adjust how much compression is applied when saving.

Every time you save an image in the jpeg format, or any other compressed format jpeg is just the most common, you lose detail and create artifacts.
And many may not realize many video formats are just still jpeg images in series similar to how movie film works.
That why it's best if photoshopping your photos to start from the original if possible if you want the best possible quality.
The way around that is to save in an uncompressed format such as RAW but they're huge. Many cameras will allow you shoot in RAW rather than jpeg or even both at the same time.
-
So if I got this right.

Right?
My understanding is that the prosecution got the high res version in the middle of the trial (from the proverbial "evidence fairy"), and shared a low resolution version with the defense. This was discovered when the defense had their laptop plugged in and the prosecution asked them to play the video. When they played it the prosecution said it was too low resolution to see what they wanted to show, and the defense said "Well, that's what you gave us ...."
The version the prosecution claims to have enhanced is the high res version, but even at that all they had was a glob of pixels and they told the jury what it showed. I did not see what they claimed from what they showed.
-
I just read that the defense has filed a second motion to dismiss with prejudice, based on the prosecution's failure to turn over the high-res version of the drone video.

Edit: Defense is live now in court, they didn't even get the full video length. This could point to intentional screwing around. You can't accidently give someone a cut copy.
That is the basis for the most recent motion to dismiss with prejudice.
-
So I'm assuming the jury was only shown the blurry one and the prosecutor told them what they were seeing?
-
So I'm assuming the jury saw the only the blurry one?
Sounds like it and sounds like the prosecution made sure of that.
To me that should at the very least get a mistrial with prejudice and also in a just world would mean the prosecution team should all be out of jobs and ideally in jail for attempting to use falsified evidence to make their case. Absolute scumbags.

I agree that this should be grounds for a mistrial. Further - at a minimum, prosecution team should be fired, and the state bar should suspend their licenses pending investigation of misconduct.

82.5k people are watching the Rekieta Law live coverage of the trial right now despite this being day two of deliberations.

Not as I understand it. The defense got the blurry one and I'm guessing they didn't see anything in it. The prosecution showed the jury the full resolution version, but even in that version it took their tech working overtime to come up with a blurry mess that they claim is Rittenhouse pointing his gun at the guy who would later fire the first shot in the exchange.

Interesting.

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7vub41 29:15 the drone footage in high res has been out forever. It appearing that late in the trial is because the prosecutor was trying to change tactics.

Was Binger ever seen on the set of "Rust"?
-
Prosecution is now claiming "OMG, they got a compressed version? It must have happened because they had an Android phone isntead of an iPhone! We had no idea about how all these technology doohickies work!"
-
"If I knew how to change resolution or how any of that works I would have a much better job." - near quote by the bigger prosecutor.
"Technical wizardry!"
There is no way for us to know these things. (I guess file size is rocket surgery)
Defense lady: "4 milibyte(sic) file"
Defense lady destroying ADA.
Judge: High risk strategy for the state, queasy about it.
-

So, they're claiming it was a good faith error.
I wonder how that's going to play out with the judge given all of their bad faith missteps during the trial.
-
Deliberate prosecutorial misconduct by the prosecution team. Every damn one of them need to go to jail for the same length of sentence they are trying to inflict on Rittenhouse.
-
Frankly, whatever the malfeasance on behalf of the prosecution, if this gets dismissed because of how the prosecution handled this video it would be a cheap win on a technicality. Even the most enhanced version of the high resolution video doesn't convince me of what the prosecution is trying to sell.
-

It was 120k a few minutes ago when the the trial was live. A bit less than 100k now.
The theory on the Rekieta Law podcast group chat is the prosecution is trying to help its few assumed hold outs hang the jury.

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7vub41 29:15 the drone footage in high res has been out forever. It appearing that late in the trial is because the prosecutor was trying to change tactics.
The defense mentioned earlier during the argument that they tried to get the drone footage, but either were not able to get it or got something different. Then the one defense lady said the file name they were initially given was different from the high resolution version they got later plus the file creation times were different. IMO, either the prosecution was very sloppy in handling evidence copies or deliberately turned over an adjusted copy. Could they have messed up and turned over the wrong file? Maybe.

If the defense lawyers weren’t the next closest thing to useless they’d have someone monitoring the Rekieta law stream. No fewer that five attorneys at any time talking about strategies and motions and objections that should be made. Between withholding evidence, commenting on Kyle’s exercising his fifth amendment right, mentioning other evidence that the judge excluded this should be a mistrial and the prosecutors should be up for review. Defense motioned for a mistrial with prejudice last night, then asked for one without today. They’re just floundering around in a case that should be a slam dunk. It’s arguably the most videoed self defense in history.

-
So a lot of us think that the reaction will be muted. What if it isn't? The media has a lot of sunk costs to protect. Besides, if we forget this we then look at the mistrial that is their five years of Russiahoax. Or Ghislaine Maxwell. Or how awesome DC is doing. So there is the usual peaceful arson. Someone responds. The response and the trial is the pretext for a massive fed push on militias as well as a power grab at the courts since they decide wrong. This mess has a really really low chance of sparking a civil war. But it's not zero.

Except while the jury has been sitting in the room, the MSM has been focusing on protestors congregating and almost gleefully talking about the potential for violence. AFAIK, the protestors are still there and crowds are growing, but suddenly it's off the "leads and bleeds" sections of the MSM websites.
If they are dropping coverage to reduce giving publicity and not egging on the potential violence, good on them, but they have in the past not shown such restraint.
-
So, you're promoting MSNBC to the top of the journalistic heap because they're reporting... minor protests... as if the entire state of Wisconsin is ablaze and Rittenhouse is swinging from a tree in the Kenosha town square?
"If they are dropping coverage to reduce giving publicity and not egging on the potential violence, good on them, but they have in the past not shown such restraint."
They, and other news outlets, are dropping coverage because there are actually other stories going on in the world.
I know, it's hard to comprehend, because the whole outcome of the arc of Western Civilization hinges on whether Kyle Rittenhouse goes free or goes to prison... I mean, that's such a huge story that the verified Second Coming of Jesus shouldn't push it off the top of the electronic fold...

Yes, bigger things in the world should push it off the top of the page. My point was that in the past, similar stories haven not been pushed off the front of the page, and have been "overpromoted" in spite of bigger things going on. Suddenly (vs gradually), all the MSM outlets drop it at the same time, when yesterday they were showing videos of protestor fights and talking the burning of Kenosha. So yes, curious.

2) The prosecutor feels he has to do whatever it takes to convict no matter stupid some of it may appear or they're (you know who) going to burn down his house and/or kill him.

Perspective: Court TV correspondent who knows James J. Morrison just said a reporter following a jury bus is a long-standing practice by news outlets in big trials to get info on juror panel so news outlets can reach out to jurors quickly after verdict. "Happens all the time."
— Steve Lookner (@lookner) November 18, 2021
Court TV correspondent says he doesn't want to defend the practice, and acknowledges some people might think it's despicable. Says when a reporter follows a jury bus they're looking for the jurors' license plates so they can get their contact info to contact them after verdict.

Maybe it's just because there's nothing else going on with the case at the moment, but a lot of people taking issue with this:
In the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial, Judge Schroeder granted the request of “a female juror” to bring home a full set of the court’s instructions on the law when he once again ended the trial day before dusk on the third day of deliberations.
..
A good judge would have either sent the jurors out of the room or taken the lawyers to a sidebar where the request could be discussed without the jurors being apprised of which side was objecting and why. (For that matter, a good judge would not have needed input from the lawyers to understand why a request of this sort should be politely denied.) Schroeder, by contrast, pondered the matter in his ponderous way and foolishly agreed to the request without asking for counsels’ positions.
..
That is, Schroeder first made the bad decision and only then made a record about why it was a bad decision. When he noted the defense lawyers’ apparent but muted disapproval when the juror made the request, Mark Richards, one of Rittenhouse’s attorneys, opined that the jurors might do an Internet research on the instructions.
..
The proper objection would have been that the jury is supposed to deliberate as a jury.
While I agree with the later points he makes about keeping them longer or sequestering them, taking the instructions doesn't seem unreasonable. Are you really not supposed to even think about a case without the rest of the jury being present? Maybe it's because I've never been on a jury, but it just doesn't seem like a big deal.

If anything, I think I'd argue the opposite. Justice is probably best served if, after discussing matters with other jurors, each member was able to take some time alone to think about it and process the situation for themselves.

Wow! I was expecting at least some not guilty verdicts on some stuff, but really was afraid they were still going to pop him on some lesser charge (even though he wasn't guilty) to attempt to appease the mob. Good for Kyle.

Honest question. Was that what though would happen, or what you thought should happen? I was in the former camp for quite a while myself, especially as the deliberations dragged on into today.
-
The Wisconsin Lt Governor weighed in. This should help keep things calm:
Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who is Black and a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, reacted bitterly to the outcome.
“Over the last few weeks, many dreaded the outcome we just witnessed," Barnes said. "The presumption of innocence until proven guilty is what we should expect from our judicial system, but that standard is not always applied equally. We have seen so many black and brown youth killed, only to be put on trial posthumously, while the innocence of Kyle Rittenhouse was virtually demanded by the judge.”

That means the judge and to a lesser extent the defense didn't take the bait despite the prosecutions provocations.

President Biden stands by jury ruling in Kyle Rittenhouse trial
President Biden said he stands by what the jury concluded in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, which declared Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges filed against him.
President Biden made the statement while responding to past comments by Joe Biden's then-presidential campaign which compared Rittenhouse to a White supremacist.

“He was acting weird, he was acting funny when I tried to talk to him before so I was on alert because I perceived a threat.”
He perceived a threat from an unarmed man who was running AWAY from him.
He hunted HIM yet thought HE was a threat.

I am absolutely gob smacked. Very glad to see almost actual "justice" for a change. Actual justice would have happened if his acts would have been recognized as the self defense they were and he had not been charged in the first place.
According to the lieutenant governor of Wisconsin and the ACLU, this trial was a sham and a miscarriage of justice.
Translation: "We should have just lynched him."

So, help me out here. All these Twitter-twerps be upset Kyle got a break because he white. No brother would get away with it. Amerikkka so raciss, etc. They mad about the verdict. My confusion is this: if a white kid w/ no rap sheet had been sent up for such obvious acts of self-defense, what possible chance could a black person have of exercising their right of self-defense? If the US is as white-supremacist as claimed? Especially when so many more black men would be hamstrung by having a criminal record in their background (casts suspicion on them, and bars them from legal gun ownership).
I know, I know, applying logic where it isn't wanted. Sigh.

'There is no justice today': Family of man killed by Rittenhouse speak
Which man? The guy who raped kids, or the guy who kidnapped a woman and held a knife to his grandmother? I would think that most families would breathe a sigh of relief at having those risks removed.
As for abolishing the police rallies, this situation is what happens when Gov. abdicates it’s duty to keep the peace. People who care about their communities will eventually step up, and they will be less reserved in their actions than a professional police force would be. Kyle’s actions were essentially a best case scenario for what could happen if people finally feel like they have to do their own policing. He only fired when given no other choice, he made split second decisions not to fire when people withdrew, and he only hit what he aimed at. I’d bet if you put 95% of the population into his exact scenario, there would be quite a few more dead and injured. The kid really impressed me with his restraint and skill. Plus, his trigger discipline was great, unlike flufferboy2004 who tried to Alec Baldwin the jury.

As much as he wants to become a nurse, I think he should really think long and hard about the military. Or, if wokeness wasn’t infesting the military I’d suggest that. He’d make one heck of an NCO, especially in a combat role.
And as wise as laying low would normally be, it might behoove him to take advantage of the money making opportunities available right now. A few years from now the interest won’t be nearly as much. That $2mil bail fund is unlikely to wind up in his hands, so the speaking circuit, paid interviews, book/movie deals (as a consultant if not subject), etc could be very lucrative.
-
Would you trust the current military leadership to leave him alone?
He will figure something out. There are people out there who would give him a job. He may have more trouble than most in finding those opportunities. Give it 6 months or a year and see how much publicity still follows him.

He’ll never have a normal life, might as well have a comfortable one.
Considering he just went through a criminal case, I don't know if the media has the same liability with this case versus Sandman. With Sandman, the media fabricated the whole story out of thin air and essentially attacked and publicized a 16 year old minor who did nothing wrong (and they knew it). I think that is why Sandman is getting settlements as his case won't be so easy to fight. I don't know if Kyle will get the same result as his case was very public.
Zimmerman sued NBC (I think) who edited the 911 recording to make him look racist and guilty. His lawsuit got tossed, but I don't remember if there was some reason that happened.
-
Yeah, as despicable as the media has been with Rittenhouse I don’t think he’ll get anywhere with suing the media. Maybe the ones that have kept pushing the lies even after the evidence was reported in court. But, e.g. the Young Turks walked back their BS during the trial. They’re probably pretty safe from Kyle, unfortunately.
Kyles best bet will be paid speeches and interviews and such. If were his lawyer I’d advise him not to count on getting settlements, and to make use of such opportunities while his 15 minutes last.

Plenty of links for people to find and look at, but it appears "peaceful protests" are spreading, most in the usual places. At this point, in places like Portland and Oakland, I'm almost gleeful to see them burn their own city down. It seems to be what they want.
From Oakland:

If you make the pedo your "hero", I hope you get run over by a bus.

Also, I've read at least a half dozen articles now where this was an "unfair" trial because the defendant was white and the jury was predominately white. Why do I never hear about "unfairness" when it's a POC defendant and the jury is predominately POC? I certainly hear complaints when the defendant is POC and the jury is predominately white, yet for Kyle, they want a POC jury for "fairness".
-
Should have been a jury of wise Latinas, obviously.
Oh, I mean Latinxs. Latinxes? Latinxi? Maybe it's Latinxen, like "oxen."
-
It has been a LONG time since the classes, but...
I see falsehoods, and I see malice. Hence, I see libel.
And grounds for a suit.
The problem with suing the media is they can claim, with enough plausibility to fend off a suit, that they were just reporting on what the prosecutors were saying. Sandmann won all his settlements largely because there wasn’t any crime, let alone criminal charges or trial, so they didn’t get that cloak to cover themselves from liability. The prosecution has nearly impenetrable immunity from liability when acting officially.
Where Kyle might have a case worth pursuing will be with those media outlets that continue to make blatant false claims even now that the trial is over and he was acquitted.
While Biden’s comments post verdict were vile, suing him successfully will be very difficult. By now Kyle a “public figure” which means proving actual malice to win a lawsuit. All Biden has to say is that he disagrees with the legality of what Kyle did, but [NPR voice] clearly [/NPR voice] wasn’t malicious in nature. How many courts will smack Biden with a clue-x-4 over that?

Somewhat similar to the Breonna Taylor case here in Louisville.
But in this case her boyfriend, a felon, open fire on the still outside police through the door AFTER they knocked and IDed themselves* striking one. The police returned fire and the reason she was struck was because he was firing from behind her in the hallway at the time. Despite the fact he was a felon with a gun and had fired on police striking one he was let go due to political pressure
The police were at time looking for her other boyfriend a drug dealer.
*Confirmed by some of her neighbors
The street narrative is that the police just barged in and shot her in bed just because Completely counter to what witnesses and evidence say happened

In the Taylor case several witnesses (her neighbors) have stated the police did knock and ID themselves, the boyfriend then started shooting through the door.

I have never understood the concept of "serving" a warrant by smashing your way into a residence at oh-dark-thirty, rather than knocking on the door like a civilized person and displaying a copy of the warrant so the occupant(s) can read it and verify that it's a legal warrant. It's one thing to do a no-knock warrant "service" when trying to apprehend an armed and known violent felon. It's uncalled for when searching for inanimate objects.

New Headlines on MSNBC this morning. If they're not actively trying incite riots and start a race war then what are they doing?
Malcolm Nance: White nationalists are high-fiving over the Rittenhouse verdict
Where the prosecutor in the Rittenhouse case went wrong, according to a civil rights lawyer
The judicial system 'was designed to do exactly what it did' for Rittenhouse
The Rittenhouse verdict exposes how America's become more comfortable with violence
Why Kyle Rittenhouse's not guilty verdict actually makes perfect sense. (The article makes it clear what they mean by that)
-
The judicial system 'was designed to do exactly what it did' for Rittenhouse
So the judicial system was designed to harass an obviously innocent young man (a white man for our racist friends on the left), while failing to punish a criminal who illegally had and illegally used a firearm, and another creep that admitted to assault, apparently. Such breathtaking insight from MSNBC...

omg I am friends with one of Bob's Dylans girlfriends , she is in her seventies and all her friends are hollywood and Rock elite..
I'm having so much fun. I am remaining calm,nice, and asking them questions and their screaming and pulling out their hair LOL LOL.
she wants to block me but we have been friends since the seventies and can't, bwaahahahahahah.
Asking hollywood and rocks elites to defend their evil , without their writers and advisors is such a hoot!!
its really enjoyable!!
They're really freaking out. they have a lot of power so it scares me a bit.

Somewhat similar to the Breonna Taylor case here in Louisville.
But in this case her boyfriend, a felon, open fire on the still outside police through the door AFTER they knocked and IDed themselves* striking one. The police returned fire and the reason she was struck was because he was firing from behind her in the hallway at the time. Despite the fact he was a felon with a gun and had fired on police striking one he was let go due to political pressure
The police were at time looking for her other boyfriend a drug dealer.
*Confirmed by some of her neighbors
The street narrative is that the police just barged in and shot her in bed just because Completely counter to what witnesses and evidence say happened
City Officials here in Grand Rapids, Mi. even named a street after Taylor.

Lots of people are suddenly "clarifying" stuff since the not guilty verdict. Here's Gofundme:
https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2021/11/20/damage-control-allow-gofundme-to-clarify-something-in-light-of-the-rittenhouse-trial-result/
I actually don't remember exactly what happened with them and the Rittenhouse Gofundme, but their "clarification" is not believable to me. I'm betting there are a bunch more Gofundmes besides the examples in the link that were used to collect money for someone defending themselves in court after being accused of a violent crime. They are just politically acceptable recipients.

I haven't even said anything about what the MSM covers up about her.
She was forced out of her paramedic job for stealing drugs from hospitals and other reported infractions.
Was reportedly running BF #1's drug business while he was in jail.
Was a murder suspect.

1) When the left gets a purely innocent victim (like I think John Crawford III was) they couldn't care less. They only want "victims" who the right will reject because what they really want is controversy not justice.
2) I am not really familiar with the Taylor case, but her past is irrelevant if the cops that shot her didn't know it (and is probably irrelevant if they did.) After the fact, maybe the world is a better place without her in it; again irrelevant to the case but maybe consolation to the ones involved.

The biggest thing the police did wrong in this is firing blindly back into the apartment not knowing her BF was apparently firing from behind her in the hallway. Take from that what you will about the BF. And yes the police can be faulted for firing blindly.
There is some question about how the warrant was obtained but it's all been too shrouded in a fog of distortions and lies to tell what's true what's not.
The media keeps making hay about it being a no-knock warrant but apparently they didn't use that way and it is confirmed by her neighbors they did knock and IDed themselves as police before the BF started firing through the door.

When you're talking to them, and the first thing that you say is... "Yeah, well, first this baby raper was coming after the kid and trying to grab his firearm..."
They get confused.
"Well, yeah - the guy had a record. With kids. If he had gotten that AR-15, what do you think he planned to do with it?"
They get more confused.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA): “America today: you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people, and get away with it. That’s the message we’ve just sent to armed vigilantes across the nation.”

Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL): “Carrying a loaded gun into a community 20 miles from your home and shooting unarmed citizens is fundamentally wrong.”
No, not really. Funny that you put it that way, though. You'd be OK with Kyle popping green card workers from his windowsill at home?

I also take issue with the first part of the statement. Kyle was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. I would argue that he, by definition, didn't break any laws.

The people that are saying “But Rosenbaum was a child rapist!” do not grasp that the people that think Rosenbaum was a hero also love and support pedophiles, or as they call them, Minor Attracted Individuals.
I’m telling you within a decade pedophilia will be legal on the left coast.

I don't know that "giving benefit of doubt" is the appropriate phrase to use, but I wouldn't be surprised if these Hollywood people and others have either zero knowledge of the pedo's background, or believe the rap sheet is fake and some kind of conservative plot. There are a number of MSM outlets from which you would never know what his background is. Others simply use the euphemistic term "sexual conduct" (not even "sexual MISconduct") when referring to his disgusting background. They just interview his whacko girlfriend who tells them what a great and kind person he was.

Irrelevant. We're discussing people who are, after the event, via either ignorance or willfully lying, making Rosenbaum out to be a caring hero who helped little old ladies across the street.
Also, Rittenhouse did have background information on Rosenbaum. He had firsthand knowledge of Rosenbaum's maniacal tendencies.

Hmmm ... yeah.
“This kid was walking around like hot s–t, looking for a reason to say, ‘Oh, I gotta do something about this,’” she said.
"This" being the [mostly peaceful] burning and looting of a large chunk of Kenosha. So, yeah, Rittenhouse was looking to do something about "this." And her dirtbag BF was contributing to "this."
“You are not going to tell me that these motherf–kers did not know that this militia was here. You’re not gonna tell me that,” she continued, adding that a special prosecutor outside of Kenosha County should’ve been appointed to the case.
“They gotta put some heat on this kid because if they let him completely off the hook, then they have to totally take responsibility for allowing what happened to happen.”
I do agree that the City of Kenosha is responsible. If the city's police had done their job and shut down the [mostly peaceful] riots, private citizens like Kyle Rittenhouse would not have felt it necessary to step into the void and deploy to protect private property.

They did not want do anything that would keep Rittenhouse in the spotlight any longer than he had to be. Let him attempt to go back to a normal life. I can agree with that.

Yup, I saw that. I'm wondering if he has "handlers" right now and if they got him to say that? Wrong move, IMO. If he's gonna talk, he should have said something like "I support people's first amendment right to peacefully protest." Saying "BLM" only plays right into the hands of everyone saying he's a white supremacist when his trial had nothing to do with race.

I guess he will have to learn that nothing he can say will convince some of these people that he is not a racist (or pick your word).

I guess no one at these companies knows how to stay neutral anymore. It wouldn't have been hard, but it requires a bit of thought.
I suppose a dead pedophile and a dead domestic abuser could be considered a "profound loss of life" if one had just downed an entire fifth of straight rye whiskey, or if one wasn't raised with the greatest set of morals and values.

We saw these qualities on display in the trial. Rather than wishing that principles of justice did not apply to Rittenhouse, we should mourn that they didn't extend farther—to those who were shot in the police confrontations precipitating last summer's unrest.
Like the Blake guy whose shooting spawned the riots Rittenhouse responded to. I'm sure I don't have to remind members here that Blake was shot by the police because he was resisting arrest while armed with a knife -- which he refused to relinquish when ordered to do so.

My sig line on another forum
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.
Fits here IMHO

What's the counterargument?
Wiki
It is Congress's highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions by individuals or institutions.[1] The congressional practice of issuing gold medals to occasionally honor recipients from the military began during the American Revolution. Later the practice extended to individuals in all walks of life and in the late 20th century also to groups. The Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom are the highest civilian awards in the United States.[2] The congressional medal seeks to honor those, individually or as a group, "who have performed an achievement that has an impact on American history and culture that is likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient's field long after the achievement."[3]

Is law enforcement so absent or so converged into the system of lawlessness that neighborhoods need to start literally policing their own neighborhood?
Is it really time for non trained, non professionals to start policing neighborhoods, openly bearing arms?
Is there no political recourse left?
As an aside I'm pleased with the result of the Rittenhouse verdict. I am empathetic with the desire to protect your neighborhood. If my neighborhood was threatened and the police abandoned me to the thugs it would not be out of the realm of possibility I would find myself in similar straights as Kyle.
Hopefully, this event is a wake up call to those who are participating in the looting and riots as well as a wake up call to law enforcement to do their damn jobs.

We are coming very close to this point. Those in charge seem to be intent on letting criminals run wild, and that is across the US. LE here in small town USA won’t do anything about property crime unless they catch them in the act and even then it’s only a slap on the wrist and let them right back out. Then you look at the big cities and how criminals who have been emboldened by criminal friendly laws are organizing flash mob robberies.
I watched Wednesday night as a woman stole a big screen TV from Walmart. She put it in her cart and leisurely and calmly pushed it out the door to her car. Loss prevention followed her out and could do nothing but watch. The corporations don’t care because they just make up the losses by raising prices. LE doesn’t care because they aren’t willing to end up on national news for confronting a thief over a $500 TV.

This isn't really new. Other riots have erupted and business owners have overtly protected their livelihoods by openly bearing arms. Since rioters decided to bypass them and nobody got shot, the news media soft pedaled it. (Although one woman made a YouTube video condemning a cell phone store for doing that - she apparently wanted to loot them.)
Think back to the Rodney King riots - the cops in LA didn't really become involved until the news media reported that the merchants of Koreatown had armed up and were protecting their own businesses from the mob. (Years afterwards you could still find humorous pictures on the web about "Rooftop Koreans" available for riot protection.) Some people wanted the cops to come down hard on the Koreans . . . but at that point the constabulary would have been seen to be actually working in concert with the rioters, becoming legitimate targets themselves, and things would have gotten very, very bad.

In some places? Yes.
Here in St. Louis, they are very under strength. The administration doesn't support them, and the city attorney doesn't even bother to have anyone show up for murder trials.
Really.
Ever since the administration/machine, the media, and suburban brats with hot topic hair all tried to have local cops who had to use force crucified, the police have been hanging back. They show up for the reports. They don't want to "start something" that they would have to finish.

I'm reminded of Atlanta's child murders circa 1980. Literally dozens of minority kids were murdered, and black parents took to walking their kids to school while carrying baseball bats and such to protect their children. From what I remember at the time, more police hours were spent harassing these "vigilante armed parents" than looking for the actual killer, a black man by the name of Wayne Williams. (Although IIRC he was only convicted of a few murders, not all of them.)
Oh, and the ultra-lefty cancel culture is going after Kyle Rittenhouse.

One only needs to look at the reception that the Guardian Angels got in New York City during the time. IIRC one of the GA's who was continually harassed during the time said that if a NYPD officer saw a GA standing next to a guy murdering a Nun, the officer would arrest the GA. Much of that was apparently driven by the Koch administration. He later softened on the GAs, and later administrations supported them, but in the early days, they were no welcomed at all.

Jamarcus Glover, the target of the Breonna Taylor raid, sentenced to 5 years probation

Judge Perry decided five years of probation is what was needed.
"Your behavior with me since the first case gives me great concern -- your attitude and your criminality," Judge Perry said. "Because if you come back here and try to explain why I need to take another chance on you? That's highly unlikely."
If you have great concern then why?????..... :facepalm:

How many years did his mother get for naming him Jamarcus?

Agreed. All those man hours and SWAT raid all to get a sentence of 5 years probation. I am sure everyone involved is disgusted about that outcome.
"Your behavior with me since the first case gives me great concern -- your attitude and your criminality," Perry said. "Because if you come back here and try to explain why I need to take another chance on you? That's highly unlikely."
I wonder what the sentence would be if his behavior was good? A bouquet of flowers and a thank you note?

This is a big lefty news site, so who knows what the truth is, but if accurate, between "I support BLM" and this, Kyle's handlers* really seem to be giving him bad advice, IMO. I don't expect him to be doing commercials for S&W ARs or anything, but I don't think the apologist route is the way to go either.
https://www.insider.com/kyle-rittenhouse-destroying-the-rifle-he-used-in-kenosha-2021-12?amp
*Handlers, because I don't believe this is him coming up with some of this. I'm sure part of the strategy is to try and give him a normal life going forward, and reduce the media and other stalkers trying to destroy him. Still, this stuff seems like groveling and almost creating a narrative in which he's saying he did the wrong thing, and that he really is guilty of something, vs a guy who acted in self-defense. Not that it would have been good PR at all, and I wouldn't recommend it, but I bet he could have sold that rifle to somebody for a good $500K. =)

If he starts doing things as a public figure, does that undermine his potential defamation/libel lawsuits?

And notice that he has hung back, except for the Tucker thing...

From my understanding, only going forward. Liable committed previously when was not a “public person” is still more easily actionable.

If this was a just world his willing enterance into public figurehood after the defamation took place it shouldn't.

On some level I really can’t blame him. While he could have sold it for 10-100x it’s normal worth, it would be something of a ghastly relic of the events and given his PTSD over it, destroying the rifle is probably the best thing for him.

Lin Wood has always been a bit nutty, but I think the 2020 election just completely sent him off the deep end.
I plan to file defamation actions against all republishers of the false accusation of Kyle Rittenhouse,” Wood claimed, listing off the likes of Republican Reps. Dan Crenshaw and Marjorie Taylor Greene, along with the hosts of Fox & Friends, and Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec as future defendants.
“I’ll sue every damn one of them,” he declared. “They acted with reckless disregard for truth or falsity. On my time, I am going to sue every damn one of them.”

I agree. I think it's easy for people to get caught up in all the attached culture war, memes & political posturing and view it as a "win". For Kyle it was probably the worst night of his life and saving a memento of that makes no sense.
-

I get that, and maybe it was MSM biased reporting, but it just sounded like a PR move similar to his BLM comment. Might have been better to say nothing unless asked, then simply say "I destroyed it" or similar, maybe even mentioning PTSD.
-
FWIW, it would make more sense to me if he gave it or sold it to a trustworthy 3rd party, so they could quietly sell it (or the parts), w/o mentioning its provenance.

Gee, you think? The entire impetus for GA's formation was the staggeringly high crime rates in the NY city subways.
The reaction from Koch and the power structure in the city at the time was that the GAs were FAR FAR FAR worse, vicious, dangerous, etc., than the criminals.

I think its silly to assign an air of "evilness" to an inanimate object like the AR15 that Kyle used to defend himself against some very bad people.
I have a Mosin-Nagant made in 1939. Given the date, there's an excellent chance some son of Mother Russia used it on some Nazis. I don't mind knowing that at all.

Given they dismissed the illegal possession charge, and Kyle was found justified by self defense there’s no crime committed with the rifle, so one would think those charges against Dominic Black would have to be dropped. Possible they won’t, just because they’re dicks. But, if Kyle got the rifle back I’m thinking they must have dropped the charges against his friend.

Nope, not dropped yet. Technically the charge is selling a gun to someone under 18, which is different than providing a gun to someone under 18.
Given that the case against Black isn’t dropped, I doubt Rittenhouse has had the rifle destroyed, although he may have told the state he doesn’t want it back or something.

A bit more of Kyle's view (and the contrast between him and the culture warrior talking heads)
About 24 minutes into the podcast “You Are Here” on the right-wing network the Blaze on Monday night, co-host Sydney Watson told her guest, Kyle Rittenhouse, that it was “kind of impressive” that “of all the people that you shot at, you killed probably two of the worst on the planet.”
...
“Congratulations,” Watson said Monday to Rittenhouse. “Good job, you.”
Rittenhouse, 18, responded that the killings were “nothing to be congratulated about.”
“Like, if I could go back, I wish I would never have had to take somebody’s life,” he said.
...
“Well, hindsight being 20/20, probably not the best idea to go down there,” Rittenhouse said. “Can’t change that. But I defended myself and that’s what happened.”

The guy who bought the rifle for Rittenhouse takes a plea deal:
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2022/01/08/under-plea-deal-felonies-dropped-against-rittenhouse-gun-buyer/9133259002/
Kyle Rittenhouse's friend, who bought him an assault-style rifle when he was only 17, has agreed to plead no contest to contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a non-criminal citation, and avoid convictions on the two felonies he'd been facing.
The left is, as usual, apoplectic over this blatant display of white supremacy . . . or something.
-
What I strongly dislike about plea deals is someone like Dominick Black winds having to accept even a non-criminal citation when he should have simply had all charges dismissed. But a persecutor that’s desperate for a notch in their belt uses the infinite resources of the state to make it so painful to fight for your rights and defend yourself that it’s less bad to take the plea deal than it is to win in court.

https://news.stlpublicradio.org/health-science-environment/2022-01-04/a-black-gun-enthusiast-is-on-a-lonely-mission-to-stop-missouris-suicide-crisis
So I emailed a comment to them, and an hour or two later, it's been changed.
So, don't mind me. Just sitting here, quietly controlling the information you receive, to suit my agenda. [sinister laughter]
-
Good on you for speaking up, Perd. You did the right thing. However, it wasn't much of a change, being rather subtle. And in a lot of peoples' minds after reading that, Rittenhouse will have still killed African Americans. I think their change in the wording was deliberately designed to maintain that linkage, and yet give them an out if they are called on it again.

No sir, I assure you what I've done is a game-changer, forever altering the way Americans will view race relations for centuries. Everyone has now seen the light on Kyle Rittenhouse, thanks to me. You're welcome. =)

Before I even clicked on the link the question of whether or not they included the red dot which was absent during the trial went went through my head.
In a matter of about three minutes, the gun was unboxed, identified, and dumped into the shredder. They even destroyed the Sight-Mark optic and the Magpul PMag used by Rittenhouse.

A few months after his acquittal, his spokesman said Rittenhouse wanted the gun destroyed and thrown away so no one could use it for publicity or to “celebrate” what Rittenhouse did. Schroeder, Rittenhouse’s attorneys and Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, agreed the state would destroy the weapon.

There's some new Kyle Rittenhouse-inspired video game on Steam called "Acquitted" where you fight zombie rioters.
In 2020, there was a game released on Steam & Nintendo Switch called "Tonight We Riot" in which players controlled rioters who try to kill police & capitalists.

Interesting that the article doesn't mention anything about Huber's less than savory history, or go into any detain regarding why the action might have been illegal (as Matthewson claimed).

"“I know you don’t want to hear it, and you want to slam the gavel like a lunatic,” Mathewson told Haugaard. “Doesn’t change what you did was wrong.”"
Good burn!

The Brady group probably agrees with the pudgy screwball prosecutor who during the Rittenhouse trial said Kyle should have accepted a beating rather than defend himself.

He's suing Rittenhouse and the police
Note the underlined. :O
A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the father of a man shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse during a night of tumultuous protests in 2020 may proceed, a federal in Wisconsin ruled Wednesday.
The father of Anthony Huber – one of two men Rittenhouse killed – filed the lawsuit in 2021. The lawsuit, which names Rittenhouse, police officers and others ad defendants, accuses officers of allowing for a dangerous situation that violated his son's constitutional rights and resulted in his death.
Anthony Huber's father, John Huber, also alleged that Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, conspired with law enforcement to cause harm to protestors. John Huber is seeking unspecified damages from city officials, officers and Rittenhouse.

I see that the father is smart and is suing the police to access a potential deep pocket. I suspect Mr. Rittenhouse does not have sufficient assets to make him a viable financial payout in the event of a plaintiff verdict.
-
Hopefully the ridiculous conspiracy allegation will be enough to toss the lawsuit. I suppose it will depend on the jurisdiction and the judge and/or jury.
Also hopefully Kyle gets some pro bono help from some good attorneys.

The fact he's trying to claim there was a conspiracy between Kyle and the police proves in my mind at least the apple didn't fall too far from the tree in that family and/or his lawyer is very good of convincing people of [tinfoil] ideas.
-
The primary objective among the true believers is that they want to punish Rittenouse for how he shot up a peaceful BLM parade with a machine gun.

How it started (2020):
Joshua Ziminski and his wife Kelly were caught on camera rioting on August 25, 2020, the night Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two men in self defense. Ziminski shot his pistol in the air during the riots, moments before Kyle killed Joseph Rosenbaum. Joshua also lit a trailer on fire.
Neither the prosecution nor the defense has called Ziminski, despite his proximity to the first shooting, of Joseph Rosenbaum. He features prominently in the prosecution’s argument, which the defense team denies, that Rittenhouse provoked Rosenbaum to chase him.
How it's going (2023):

Kyle Rittenhouse Starts His Own 2A Foundation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7r_D6F0_m0
Got to love how some in the media is reacting
Kyle Rittenhouse launches nonprofit with far-right Texans as he ramps up political engagement in the state
The activist known for shooting Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020 has created the Rittenhouse Foundation, which promises to fight for gun rights and includes leaders who have close ties to ultraconservative megadonors from West Texas.
https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08/16/kyle-rittenhouse-texas-foundation/
Conservative activist Kyle Rittenhouse has launched a nonprofit dedicated to fighting gun reform efforts and defending the Second Amendment.
Rittenhouse was acquitted of first-degree intentional homicide and four other charges related to the fatal shooting of two Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020, an act he said was self-defense. After moving to Texas, Rittenhouse has become involved in Texas politics, rallying with right-wing candidates, including a Texas secessionist leader.

And right on the heels of that
The lawsuit filed in a federal district court in the Eastern District of Wisconsin claims Rosenbaum suffered a "wrongful death" and, as a consequence, his survivors "have suffered, and continue to suffer, significant emotional distress and harm, including but not limited to the loss of society and companionship with Rosenbaum."
Gaige Grosskreutz, a man shot in the arm by Rittenhouse during the Kenosha riots in 2020, also filed a lawsuit against Rittenhouse and Wisconsin police and officials earlier this year.

"Rittenhouse became known the world over when he fatally shot two people and injured a third in 2020 at the age of 17, after traveling from his home in Illinois armed with an AR-15-style rifle to Kenosha, Wisconsin during a racial justice protest."
I can't stop being disgusted yet amused by the way they underhandedly twist words to skirt the truth. There is something so resentfully bitter and sleazy about it. I can picture the author smashing his keyboard in anger as he exclaims the words out loud.
