    Now that the trial is over, Fox Propaganda, featuring FTucker Carlson, is showing that it was nothing more than a reality TV show funded, scripted, coached, and filmed to be inspiration to a certain audience and rake in lots of money and viewers. Once the charge of firearm legality was thrown out, the rest was able to fall into place nicely, using Wisconsin’s law. The fact that he perjured himself about several aspects wasn’t on trial here and I doubt anyone is going to follow up on it, because it would be “bad optics”.

    And of course, the producer of this reality TV show’s angle:

    I hope you guys enjoyed the show. It was a funding and ratings bombshell which makes me wonder what the sequel will be.

    As for the judge, given his erratic behavior throughout the trial, he might consider making this his high point and consider retiring.

    No. It was Kyle’s “crocodile tears” defense that got him off.

    Bruce Schroeder, limited the scope of the jury’s deliberation to Wisconson’s laws, however poorly written they were.

    I do wonder if the outcome would have been the same if the jury have been informed, by Schroeder, about jury nullification … i.e. the jury’s right to do the correct thing even nullify a bad law to make their decision.

    Confusion over whether or not jury nullification is legal often comes from prosecutors, judges, and other detractors who wish to discourage its use. They will often strongly imply or outright falsely state—even in the instructions to the jury—that “there is no such thing as valid jury nullification” or that to engage in jury nullification would constitute a violation of the juror’s oath.

    Fox played the whole trial live for everyone to see. The other stations did not do that & only told people what they wanted them to think later in the day. All three self defense shootings are on video.

    The “hero” victims: Joseph Rosenbaum was a convicted child molester with 5 boys that are known of ages 9 to 11 & a page of assaults, mostly assault on staff charges. He was also shouting the n word liberally.

    Anthony Huber’s most serious case came when he was found guilty of a felony for strangulation and suffocation, domestic abuse. He was also convicted in that case of felony false imprisonment with a dangerous weapon, domestic abuse. This is all a nice way of saying spouse beater.

    Gaige Grosskreutz the one who lived, that aimed his gun at Kyles head. Has a string of dismissed cases and an expunged felony conviction. A prior misdemeanor conviction for intoxicated use of a firearm. In January 2021, he was accused of second-offense drunk driving, but the case was dismissed on a prosecutor’s motion. A police report in West Allis, Wisconsin, accused him of “lurking” in an area where police in that suburban Milwaukee community keep their private vehicles, videotaping them. He pleaded no contest 3 Nov 2021.

    “Gaige had no reasons to be there and had no vehicle in the lot. He was previously detained for prowling in the same area and released,” the report says in the prowling case. “Gaige appeared to be video taping personal vehicles in the rear police parking lot. Gaige made clear his anti law enforcement views. Gaige was arrested for prowling, booked, cited and released.”

    Grosskreutz admitted during testimony that his concealed carry permit was expired, making it unlawful for him to carry the gun he was hiding in his waistband.

    All three incidents are on video. If Kyle was not white he would be hailed as a hero, but because he is white he has to look over his shoulder for bloodthirsty low informed individuals the rest of his life.

    So Rittenhouse got off of murder charges by claiming self defense against people who were trying to defend themselves against some kid waving a gun at them.

    Remember, everybody, if you’re out protesting lib’rul gummint overreach, and some not quite white enough, bleeding heart, atifa supporter points a gun at you, DON’T attack him! He has the right to defend himself by murdering you. As confirmed by a jury in Wisconsin.

    Protestors “trying to kill him”: The shooting survivor testified that he pointed his gun at the young man who had just killed two men but that he just couldn’t take a life. Having no similar moral constraints, Rittenhouse proceeded to maim him.

    As for the other two men, the dead cannot speak. Cryin’ Kyle has to live with himself and whatever semblance of a conscience he might possess. And so do you, Mr. Bok.

    Hopefully the victims families can file a civil suit against the Rittenhouse family and bankrupt them for generations.

    I’m sorry, but are self defense laws only for the armed. It is apparent that any attempt to disarm a “citizen” can be met with deadly force and no consequences. The former “duty to retreat” laws now apply only to the unarmed—and mentally stable.

    Kyle’s major crime was being “White” and being very proficient with his firearm. Something more people should try to do. Take a gun safety course and check out a shooting range. Wear that 357 mag proudly on your side. When everyone has a firearm we will all act more civil in public.

    So if an gunman comes to my school and we try to disarm him (it’s always a him) and he shoots us, would a Wisconsin jury acquit him because he was standing his ground and feared for his life?

    Kyle Rittenhouse is totally innocent of any crime from day one, he had every right to defend himself. Justice has been served.

    Democrats, who commit most of the violent crime in the US, are upset that an American successfully defended himself from violent Democrats. Boo hoo.

    What should happen now is the families of the deceased should sue the hell out of the kid just like the Goldman and Brown families did O.J.

    They guy walks into a situation that doesn’t involve him, brandishing an AR-15, and we wonder why people try to protect themselves?

    Rittenhouse caused those conflicts, then ended the first two by murdering unarmed victims. He then shot a third who was armed and trying to stop him.

    If you were on the street during a protest demonstration (civil or not) and saw a teenager with an AR-15 walking toward you, would you run and hide or thank him for helping to police the neighborhood?

    Let this be a lesson to people — if you see a stranger walking down the street with a semiautomatic gun and you fear he may shoot you, do not attempt to disarm him. Shoot him instead. Because the only person who gets to explain their intent is the one that survives.

    “Trying to kill him” only in his imagination. And two men are dead because Rittenhouse has a flourishing, creative imagination and took that imagination with him to a city where he didn’t belong.
