Oh yeah, and the Independent posted an article after the verdict came claiming Kyle shot 3 black people. It actually said that. Crazy!

Also the town of Knisha Wisconsin has about 100,000 people. In many cities and towns the DA is more of an administrator. The question calls for speculation. Objection is affirmed. The jury is directed to disregard the question.

I have no problem with the verdict from a LEGAL perspective.
Given the legal definitions IN PLACE (in Wisconsin) AND the instructions of Law the jury HAD to apply to these specific circumstances I can quite easily see WHY Rittenhouse was found NOT Guilty of the charges DUE TO a perceived "reasonable doubt" as to Rittenhouse's actions (self-defense?) at the MOMENTS of firing his weapon.

Now that I do know a tad more about the details, I don't think charges (at least) of this nature should have ever been brought.
Likely politics was the reason they were, and THAT is horrific, if true!

However, and for sure.
The FACT that He was found not guilty of the 5 charges has NOTHING to do with the societal acceptance of his actions.
I'd bet money He faces more legal jeopardy.
Lots of lawyers wanting THAT case!

He'll likely end up being found "recklessly endangering" and "damaging" someone by his actions on that night.

I agree with Dino about the state of our Gun laws in this Country and especially (seems like) in Wisconsin.
The FACT that NO charges could be brought against an under (legal) age person packing an assault-type weapon DURING a MELEE, at least partially about underlying racial issues is complete LUNACY!!

Can you imagine what the outcry would be IF the races were all reversed in this??
Imagine Rittenhouse as a BLACK 17 year old KID (in dreadlocks or some such!) packing his AR -15 down the streets during a white Nationalist protest and ending up shooting somebody?? (and claiming self-defense!!)

Think He'd get very far? Think he'd have had a 2 Million legal defense fund, an entire News Network and millions of loud political voices clamoring on his behalf? Think He'd get the benefit of every doubt, released to go home, PROTECTED by the provisions within our Laws??
Pretty sure I'm wise enough to know the answer to that.......... at nearly 70!
And honest enough to say it out LOUD!!

In your imagined scenario (and it is really sad the lengths we're going to in order to cling to the myth that this is a racist incident) I'm guessing there are several black folks participating in this white nationalist protest? And the people your imaginary 17 yr old black person shot were all black as well and attacking him?

Gee, I wonder if there are any real life correlations we could possibly draw from. Like maybe 60 miles south of Kenosha?

I haven’t seen anyone say that this was a racial incident but you keep saying it is an issue.

A few people said there are racial undertones because it was a BLM event and it is a fact that the far right blames BLM protestors collectively gor any violence etc
buf no one said these shooting contained racism.

This isn’t true at all. There are dozens if not hundreds of articles claiming that Rittenhouse is a racist. The president of the US when he was a candidate even insinuated it.

Well, whoever said that should not have said it.
There was no evidence of that.

Someone needs to ask the DA why he passed one of the most high profile cases of our generation off to the ADA. I have a feeling that it was because he knew he didn't have a case.

Could be something there legally where he wasn't allowed to be a lead prosecutor. IDK.

Maybe the DA told the ADA "everyone takes a beating sometime"

I have no idea why anyone would speculate as to why the Ada of Knisha instead of the Da would handle the case. Could be a hundred reasons even that the Da felt that Ada is the best litigator.

This is the equivalent of Kirby Smart handing the National Championship game this season to Matt Luke.

I sure as hell hope Binger is not a better litigator than the DA. He was utterly brutal. I swear it felt like he was intentionally throwing the trial. I said as much on here early in the trial.

It is just a stupid mistake. Surly it doesn’t prove anything but a dumb mistake and a rotten editor.

It was a joke Dino.

During his closing arguments prosecutor James Kraus told the jury that Kyle Rittenhouse should have let himself be attacked because “everybody takes a beating sometimes.”

I was conveying that he maybe plagiarized his bosses own words when he was assigned this dumpster fire of a case.

Yeah, we both know that’s a mistake that shouldn’t happen. You wouldn’t have made that “mistake”. I wouldn’t have made that “mistake”. Hell, I’d go as far to say that even Tang wouldn’t have made that “mistake” ;)

I don’t know how one cannot leave out the factoring in of a judge who kept out a statement by Rittenhouse that he wanted to shoot people vandalizing property.
The statement was either 3 weeks or 3 months before and the judge said it was too old.
It could have allowed gor a different shaping of the case and often times a jury takes its lead from a judge and this judge acted wacky.

Again it is a town or a small city of just about 100,000 people and many DAs run on their policy making and administration of the office and many do not try cases throughout the country.
It is an irrelevant issue.

I’m guessing you deal with poor internet issues at times. There’s not much more in life more frustrating than poor internet issues.

You post a lot of stuff twice. The times that that has happened to me, it was because my internet was slow and I hit the submit button more than once.

I use my smart phone and it happens a lot.
Anytime you see that from anyone then you know they
use their phone.
Also spelling mistakes from auto fill and hitting wrong key.

It happens to me from time to time on my laptop when the connection isn’t great.
