Rittenhouse - innocent or guilty?

[NauticalGent]

I was going to let my pandering comment be the end of it, but the truth is that this is about increasing government control (both parties) and decreasing civil rights.

They want our guns and they will get them eventually.

 

[AccessBlaster]

I know this sounds silly but they don't need your guns The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms, not the ammunition it's a technical point like bump stocks or magazine size.

Look at how the prosecution in the Rittenhouse case was fixated on the full metal jacket ammunition. Let's say the bullet of choice was a hollow point the prosecution would make a stronger point about the bullet's ability to expand for maximum effect. They are slowly making guns obsolete by passing laws about appearance and components.

The law states that even if the bullets would pierce someones body and go out and hit someone else, you still acted reasonably if you acted in self defence. The prosecution knows this but they want to make out that is not the case. Isn't the state supposed to be about justice and not deceiving jurors?

Ever wonder why jump kick man wasn't prominent in the prosecution's case?

Jump Kick Man is a 40-year-old Black male from Kenosha with an extensive criminal record who was at the time of the Rittenhouse shootings on probation following a conviction for domestic violence battery. He faced a maximum sentence of nine months in jail, but less than two months before he kicked Rittenhouse, he accepted a plea deal that netted him 12 months' probation. The following year, he violated the terms of his probation and was sentenced to seven months in jail. https://newstalk1130.iheart.com/fea...e-rittenhouse-cases-mysterious-jump-kick-man/

Everybody who attacked the child in this case was a convict. What are the chances?

As a slight digression to another hot topic that popped-up today with political implications relevant to this thread.

'QAnon Shaman' sentenced to 41 months in prison for role in Jan. 6 Capitol riot

Jacob Chansley, the so-called "QAnon Shaman" was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

www.foxnews.com

Why does Jump Kick Man, who assaulted a person, receive a lighter sentence than QAnon Shaman, who simply "trespassed"?
One person even quipped that the crime that QAnon Shaman was really guilty of was having a bad fashion sense.

How could O.J. be acquited of criminal homicide but be found liable for wrongful death? Incompetence at the criminal trial!

Criminal verdicts require a greater certainty of guilt for conviction. Civil cases are about money.

Indeed.

Civil: 50:50 balance of the evidence.
Criminal: 95% certain.

Maybe that's the kind of people who attend "peaceful" demonstrations.

Hadn't even thought of that...

We must be close to a verdict in Kenosha because the bricks have already been delivered to strategic locations. Just kidding lefties would never do that.

You are right. They stockpiled the bricks a long time ago.

Builders need bricks. "Build Back Better" using the mob as your Brownshirts.

Msnbc caught jury tampering, what are the chances.

NBC admits the incident, claims no wrongdoing, and says they "regret the incident and will fully cooperate with the authorities on any investigation," per statement.

 

[Jon]

Msnbc caught jury tampering, what are the chances.

I thought it was supposed to be MSNBC, or do people abbreviate it to NBC?

 

[AccessBlaster]

 

[Pat Hartman]

Why isn't the mob rioting outside of the jury room guilty of jury tampering? If you make a juror too afraid to give a verdict the mob might not like then, how can you ever have a fair trial?

 

[moke123]

Not Guilty.

 

[NauticalGent]

On all counts.

Following the release of the verdict, I did some very rapid channel surfing. Surprisingly, ABC and CNN seemed to be reporting the news without undo bias. Unfortunately, Cuck Todd (MSNBC) was biased. Todd and the associated pundits, left out the the little fact that Rittenhouse was being physically attacked and could have been killed if he had not acted in self-defense.

The entire focus of MSNBC was that Rittenhouse killed two people and wounded one. Given that, Todd and the pundits questioned how can we have a judicial system that allows that viscous type of gun violence? As an additional note, Todd and the pundits briefly discussed the possibilty that the relatives of those killed by Rittenhouse should consider suing him. Clearly they were Ignoring the obvious fact that Rittenhouse was the victim of a physcial attack, not the perpetrator. Todd and the pundits also went on to wax about the need for greater gun control for purposes of keeping society safe, as if Rittenhouse was an example of an irresponsible person.
