17 Year-old Blue Lives Matter Activist with AR 15 Charged With Murder After Two Killed at Protest

Have they killed anyone by age 17? Kyle isn't at a great start for being a good person, especially considering his age.


Agree 100%. The other difference is 💰💸💴💶💷💵💳💲🤑🤑🤑
In Zimmerman's era there was much harder to make money on this all.
Rittenhouse will be continuously tempted to capitalize on his infamy.

Yup, we're in the age of social media "likes" and fame. He's a stupid kid. He's gonna want to be out there getting that internet clout and fame. The next time he gets into trouble he may be on the other end of that bullet.
 
In the words of George Carlin… “F*** Tucker, Tucker sucks. And F*** Tucker’s friend Kyle.”

He’ll get off, and then the real test of what kind of person Rittenhouse is will be laid out. Everything from where he gives his first interview (probably Hannity), to how he responds to the press and what situations he finds himself in the future. I’m willing to give him the benefit of a doubt. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes, no matter how much he put himself in the situation.

This case is bigger than him. It’s really just an avatar of white privilege in America. You can bet your ass if he was black, and everything else was equal, Fox would be singing a different song. The judge would have allowed any and every bit of evidence. Etc, etc.

And why are the defense allowed to shit on the people he killed, but the prosecutors forbidden to bring up very releveant details?

When I see how bad shit is in 2021 I can’t even imagine how it was decades ago.

This gives me pause about the judge. One would have expected him to have more carefully planned his jury instructions in advance.

Biased and incompetent. He should just give li'l Kyle a cookie and tell him to go home and don't be bad.
 
I can easily imagine that if the jury came back in one or two days & just read "guilty" across the board for all charges, I could see this judge sending them back to deliberate. Claiming they clearly didn't understand something like his instructions, or what charges he wanted, or straight up they didn't get it right.

See what you did there, LOL. This trial has been a shit show on so many levels. Sadly, all of this is a mockery of the US legal system. And then you look at the stats screaming disparities louder than anything and we all get upset, but nothing of substance happens. Disappointing.
 
Where are the people who shit on Joe Biden - who on his worst day is infinitely more mentally capable than orange fatzo - at with their critique of this judge? Half of him seems out of it, and the other half seems like a defense lawyer for the kid.

If that happens, I can see the right wing lunatics staging their own protests, protests that would probably be ten times as violent as the BLM protests (which were actually more peaceful than those in the civil rights movement). Of course Fox News and the lunatic right would probably co-sign all of it.

Seriously.

If there is anything I've come to learn over the past year, is that you always know who the privileged assholes are, because in the effort to try to badly play the victim, they always need to appropriate from groups they ordinarily with no shame shit on.

In other words, cameras are now bad, and the judge can't take the criticisms.

Perhaps the judge should think long & hard about limiting his talking.

Bad Asian jokes anyone? Now "optics" are bad?

Maybe having somebody’s racist, senile uncle as a judge in a high-profile case was a bad idea?

Wisconsin’s justice system has problems that go far beyond the police department. And this case has laid them bare. No wonder Judge Broody regrets allowing cameras to capture the way he works.
 
From The NY Times “live blog” coverage:

Rittenhouse’s lawyers had previously asked the judge to dismiss the case and not allow a retrial because prosecutors had commented on their client’s silence after the shootings in front of the jury. But now they are asking for a mistrial “without prejudice” — meaning that prosecutors could refile charges — arguing that they did not have access to a high-quality video that most fully captures the first of the three shootings.

Did the defense not have access to it? Or did they not know how to zoom in on their iPad? Zooming with an iPad seemed to confuse all of them, especially the judge, as if it were witchcraft or something.

It sounds like an was an iOS -> Android issue. They couldn't AirDrop the file, so they texted it. That compressed the original. Thus one side has higher quality video than the other.
 
Well, this is interesting...

Which has led to this...

Which has the right wing press frothing, and declaring that the kid is the most put upon victim in America.

Thing to bear in mind... The judge is doing this based on an allegation, as it's still under investigation.

This trial never fails to surprise.

Nor does the judge who despite protests, seems to really love being the spotlight of the trial.
