Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it? You can't even differentiate between a fact you stated and an opinion you stated in your own damn post.
I stated earlier that this trial could go either way.... and there was an increasing likelihood he will be cleared. I am still surprised that the jury did not convict Rittenhouse on some of the "lessor" charges. From the media I read... it was becoming more clear each day that the case did not seem to be doing well for prosecution as the trial moved along.
The kid held himself well during the trial especially when he was on the stand. In fact, he had excellent memory retention of the details of that tragic night. The only flaw (not really one) was when he lied that he was an EMT but that's not a crime. Yet, the prosecution jumped all over it as if it was a big deal because he only had "training". In fact, it's not normal for someone in the situation to take the stand... That kid did well to explain why his life was in danger that night in which he needed to use deadly force until there was no longer a threat. The video doesn't lie...he was being "chased"...he fell...several individuals charged him...one had a handgun...another had a skateboard. Earlier, the first shooting of Rosenbaum, the guy was chasing him while threatening to kill him...all of this happening to someone without any military training in combat situation. That's exactly what the kid went through. Without that video, I think there would have been a different outcome of the trial. The good thing...its now all behind him and it can not be appealed. P.S. The kid almost collapsed (actually he slumped down on the desk) when his verdict was read...each count NOT GUILTY. Shaking during the read of each count verdict. That's the emotional toll the court case takes on someone. wrbtrader
It’s a bad precedent for Wisconsin. I don’t think there’s too many people who think putting yourself in the middle of a riot armed with an assault rifle is a good idea. This kind of stuff is best left to law enforcement.
This is the fault in defund the police and stand down policy....last summer telling the police it is racist to stop riots It creates a vacuum , small business owners have no option to protect their property.....so when a guy shows up asking if you need help to defend you life's assets...you have few options
The bad precedent that Wisconsin set was letting civil unrest get that far along. Those 500 national guard there today, should have been there that day. But they are democrats and both Biden and Kamala had leaned over backwards to show who they supported and they did not want to go against their wishes. Plus Trump was calling for them to put down the riot or he would and it is important in the dem world to resist Trump at all costs, even if it means seeing your cities burn and your citizens fighting to their deaths on the streets. The governor's first responsibility is to Wisconsinites. Not to Joe and Kamala. Lesson learned. Hopefully. At least they have the troops there today.
