class in how not to prosecute a case

Original Article

On August 25, 2020, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, armed with an AR-15 and a medical kit, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin to offer first aid and protect businesses against looting and arson. (snip) The trial started this week, and it's been sufficiently fascinating, thanks to mismanaged evidence (including FBI wrongdoing) and an incompetent prosecutor, to merit a short review. (snip) the prosecution's insistent questioning regarding the circumstances of Rosenbaum's death revealed that Kyle was an amiable young man who avoided confrontations and was actively trying to help people; that Rosenbaum threatened to kill him

The judge seems and acts fair minded... I'm rather surprised. The prosecution is doing a great job! (For Kyle).

After reviewing the various videos shortly after the action occurred; my conclusion is there shouldn't even be a case. The young man should have received commendation for the restraint he showed. This is a bogus, politically motivated persecution and shows those who will pull their heads out of their nether-regions exactly what we're dealing with in the way of demo-commies. They mean to rule us, and they'll kill however many of us they think they need to, to get us to submit to them. This war is for all the marbles, liberty-wise. If you don't grasp that simple fact because they aren't acting as hollywood has indoctrinated you to think commies act, then you are still in the dark.

If the judge truly is competent and fair he will dismiss the jury and rule from the bench that Rittenhouse is innocent of all charges (stupidity is not supposed to be a crime) and dismiss the charges with prejudice so that the DA cannot re-open the case.

I watched much of yesterday and thought the fellow asking questions was from the defense...it was the DA! One thought is he realy has little to work with. The other is that he's "throwing" the case knowing the self-defense defense is fair to apply, but the "public" demands "justice". The judge issuing a decision from the bench is not going to happen. This will go to the jury. I'm curious to see the defense case... Richard McGinnis was a reporter, highly believable, and essentially shredded the prosecutor's case with his eyewitness testimony in the case of Rosenbaum's shooting. He also destroyed the prosecutor's charge of "endangerment"...he was the one "endangered" testifying he dodged out of the line of potential fire and did not feel in particular danger.

The last line in the article "...get on with his life." is probably not in the cards, whether he's acquitted or not. You want proof, look and George Zimmerman. The left, being the Nazi horrors that they are, control the media and, thereby, the court of public opinion. That court found him guilty within a millisecond of it going public. Kyle will have to change his name, move to another state, and get plastic surgery to "...get on with his life."

Just as the Russia dossier this incident has served the purpose of indoctrination the masses with the intended meme and people will immediately recall the cause but not the eventual outcome. The dim's and anti 2nd proponents' compliant media screamed about the incident but will quietly report their results.

I have a friend who is a very successful trial lawyer. He was shocked that the prosecutor's questions to his own witness resulted in replies that blew up in his face. He said you never ask a question to a witness unless you know what their response will be.

I am hoping the defense goes scorched earth on this persecutor Binger. This guy is so dirty, he makes Ronnie Earle look squeaky clean. Remember persecutor Earle going after Tom DeLay? I do. That guy set the bar for all the dirty persecutions to follow. I cannot call them prosecutions, because even the most ignorant of citizens regarding the law can see where they people are lying through their teeth. Now we find out about the detectives as well.

The prosecutor's first mistake was bringing this case to trial to begin with and deserves all of the embarrassment that comes with attempting to ruin the life of the defendant.

The evidence at the time was pretty clear. One of the most powerful pieces of evidence is an interview of Mr. Rittenhouse an hour or two before the confrontations. He was asked wnat he was doing there, and his prominent hip bag was pointed to, and he said something like "I brought my first aid kit to help anyone who gets injured." Asked about the rifle, slung over his shoulder, he said something like "That's in case I need self protection" And it is absolutely clear on video that he was violently attacked with the skateboard and that the last guy was pointing a handgun at him, clearly preparing to shoot him when Mr. Rittenhouse shot him....in the arm, further evidence that, given a chance he didn't want to inflict any more harm than necessary. I really hope that he gets off of all charges. And of course, once again, the FBI comes down on the side of corruption and crooked twisting of evidence.

Is it possible that the prosecution is intentionally throwing this case, because they know that its a steaming pile of Schumer Schaffer? And that the only reason that chargers were brought was that it was forced due to politics? Only a graduate cum laude from Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and economics could be this stupid.

He very well may be found not guilty using a self defense argument. Where he is going to get it is his crossing state lines to put himself in the middle of what became a violent protest. The Supreme Court had a few things to say about the Hatfields and McCoys sending bounty hunters across state lines to either kidnap or kill one another.

I've watched most of the trial and agree, as I wrote yesterday, that the prosecution is building a strong case for acquittal. Kyle effectively ended the rioting in Kenosha, a place he considers home. He was not an outsider as so many of the rioters were. He did not bring the gun across state lines, either. He did use deception to get the gun, but that is a far cry from homicide. He's basically a red-blooded good-hearted American boy. Ramona (the Pest)

Procter & Gamble (“P&G”) is one of America’s largest corporations, with over 100,000 employees worldwide. It is putting a vaccine mandate into place for its more than 26,000 America-based employees, which will require them to get vaccinated, meet a “company-approved” exemption, or take weekly COVID tests. Those employees opposed to the vaccine mandate are pushing back. To that end, they released a powerful video warning, not P&G, but all Americans, what will happen if these employees lose their jobs.

Democrats haven’t grasped this yet, but it’s too late for them. The die is cast. An electoral bloodbath awaits next year, akin to or surpassing what happened to their party in 2010. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s and the Squad’s anti-American leftist politics drive their party, and that’s beginning to register at a gut-level with voters. What voters – critically, that big, pivotal segment known as independents – now feel is revulsion for Democrats in not just one way but many. The intensity of that revulsion is bound to grow in the coming months.

For many Americans, the Marines occupy an almost mythic place in their minds as an invincible force that runs to the guns and fights no matter what. That’s why it was so shocking to learn that, during a joint training exercise in the Mojave Desert, Britain’s Royal Marines inflicted such a shellacking on the Americans that the latter had to surrender halfway through the exercise. This is a direct result of the Pentagon having gone woke under Obama—something that Trump failed to undo—followed by Biden doubling down on Obama’s policies.

The primary reason the United States finds itself in its current predicament is the vast number of credulous and mis-educated Americans who, over the past two decades, have blindly pledged their undying allegiance to the current iteration of Democrat party. They do so because they have been willingly duped into believing that the political opposition, conservatives and Republicans, are the personification of evil who are hellbent on transforming the nation into a dystopian nightmare. The philosophical underpinnings of the Democrat party or the falsehoods its elected members regurgitate are immaterial to their voters, as long as this dire threat, as personified by Donald Trump in 2020, is vanquished

President Biden said the country 'took a monumental step forward' after the House passed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill with a vote of 228 to 206 on Friday night. The vote late on Friday night is a substantial triumph for Biden's Democrats, who have bickered for months over the ambitious spending bills that make up the bulk of his domestic agenda. Six Democrats, part of the progressive 'Squad' wing of the party, voted against it. The bill had become one of two key pieces of President Joe Biden's and it will now head to his desk for him to sign it into law.
