Rittenhouse NOT GUILTY on all counts

Post by bmw » Fri Nov 19, 2021 2:08 pm

About all I'll say about this is based on the video footage I saw, this appears to be the correct verdict. 3 days into deliberations I was beginning to wonder if this was headed towards a hung jury. But nope - all 12 jurors agreed that he's not guilty on every count brought against him.

I saw a hung jury as the best the prosecutor could hope for.

It's hard to ignore that he was running away from his pursuers until he was cornered or fell down.

Seems like the correct outcome. Will the prosecutor be charged for prosecutorial mispractice or jury intimidation?


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Will President Biden be sued for slandering the young man as a "white supremacist"? When will politicians learn to shut their pieholes in ongoing/potential legal cases? Let the legal system take it's course, stay out of it, and stop pandering for votes.

Kind of odd Biden would call him a racist when all three of the guys he shot were white. Does Biden have a dossier on him?


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Biden is doing what he is told.

How is Biden's slanderous speech somehow better then Trump's mean tweets?

Beating a murder rap and being a white supremacist are not mutually exclusive conditions. One can be party to both...

I don't know whether to be angry that there are people who think like you do on this or if I should instead laugh at your utter stupidity and be glad you're only in a minority.

By Lester's logic there must be a bunch of Black supremacists in Chicago then. Black people are killing other black people every weekend.

Or trying to...

The success rate is not great.

You're assuming Les even knows that all the "victims" in the Rittenhouse case are white.

I think the racist angle is based on the fact that the kid was at George Floyd protests. It's a lazy suggestion, but that is where it's coming from.

That doesn't even make sense though. So the 3 white people he shot are supposed to be White Supremacists also?

I've concluded that most of the people who are in the minority of people who are pissed off about this verdict are the same people who think that leftist mobs have a right to not only protest, but riot and loot as well, and think that this right is exclusive to leftist mobs. And anybody who fights back against these mobs shall not be tolerated. These people see no culpability whatsoever in the people who were causing trouble to begin with. Why? Because the people causing trouble were leftists. It really is that simple. Political ideology trumps rule of law for these deranged minds.
