I think we should close this thread and start a new one that just looks at the trial
Done. Participants, please keep this thread focused on the trial and content directly and distinctly related thereto.
The judge might be sympathetic. The low lifes Kyle was forced to shoot can not be called victims, just looters and rioters.
That’s not “entirely” accurate. The ruling states the defense “may” refer to the victims as “rioters” or “looters” if they provide satisfactory evidence of each person’s involvement in rioting or looting.
Thanks for the correction.
That’s a low F’ing bar. If I’m participating in a riot but don’t personally destroy anything, that doesn’t make me just an innocent bystander. By contributing to numbers, you help create an environment where rioting and looting can occur. And if I’m an innocent bystander in a group that suddenly starts engaging in looting and rioting, I’m creating distance for just that reason.
"First, ABC News reported that prosecutors cannot refer to the three men shot dead by Rittenhouse as “victims,” stating that “the word ‘victim’ is a loaded, loaded word.”
The defense, however, will be allowed to call the men rioters, looters, and arsonists.
“If more than one of them were engaged in arson, rioting, looting, I’m not going to tell the defense you can’t call them that,” Schroeder declared.
You know time has worked hard against the prosecution. If you weren’t sick to death of riots before Rittenhouse, you got to sit back and watch more riots and then the hypocracy our new Justice Department has foisted upon us along with the riots.
I would say he’s sitting in the Cat Bird seat right now.
I agree. It is criminal that an accused right to a speedy trial has fallen victim to overwhelmed courts, but I think it may work in his favor. If nothing else, it put distance between the George Floyd BS and Kyle fighting for his life during the riots.

Oh I would agree, but these are devisive times, people are getting really tired of it.
We have a border crisis, an economic crisis, an energy crisis, a supply-chain crisis, a health crisis, a crime wave, a labor shortage, inflation, and stranded Americans still in Afghanistan. People are waking up to all of this.
Just enough time has lapsed, just tnough Biden Pains have occured, I hope everyone on the jury is smart enough to STFU, walk in there and vote him not-guilty.
I’m seeing on SM where antifa is threatening to riot if he is found innocent…time to scare the jury pool. Sound familiar??
Threaten right back to put them down if they riot, while making the opposite claim that if he’s not found innocent of all charges because he was defending himself we’ll be the one’s rioting.
if youre participating in a riot but not participating in the rioting youre not participating in a riot.
is a ride-long observer suddenly a cop because he’s riding around in cop cars going to calls all night?
If your participation provides both cover and concealment, your an accessory.
Jesus dude, I don’t know if you just like arguing for the sake of it, or if you’re just trolling, but you’re reminding some of us of another leftist retard that got shown the door. This isn’t hard: all three guys attacked him. The first guy unprovoked, and the last two in retaliation for what their friend got. Whether they were, themselves, rioting or not is pretty much immaterial to the salient fact that they all were the aggressors and got instant karma.
Good Points,
But early in, all of these folks photo’s were put out there that showing all three of them rioting individually before this all came together in the vicinity of the Gas Station.
This should be a slam dunk.
IIRC both of the deceased and the one with the slight bicep scratch…were all on video doing something illegal at one point or another, no? Bullet catcher number one was seen lighting something (a dumpster next to a building) on fire and Rittenhouse put it out which started the bad blood that led to this fine upstanding individual chasing Rittenhouse down the block. So I’m saying, hard to refute video if they show it; and I think there’s plenty of it.
That’s a seriously bad analogy.
Tell that to all the folks getting swept up in the Capitol “insurrection” who were walking about…
Very Good Point !
