During closing arguments in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial, the prosecution lawyer pointed an AR-15 directly at the jury with his finger on the trigger. He broke every law of gun safety, and Twitter users exploded with reaction. “What’s wrong with this picture?” begins Beth Baumann on Twitter. “He didn’t check to make sure it was clear. He has his finger on the trigger. Gun is pointed at people (likely the jury)” she tweeted. (Tweet) Here is more Twitter reaction:(Tweets) Here’s a video of the incident:

That judge needs to just toss this case completely out. The fact that the prosecutor did this particularly in light of the baldwin incident is just wrong.

After watching hours of the Rittenhouse Trial, it is apparent that the prosecution is winging much of their case and blurring, if not outright crossing, established legal lines. Their case is not well constructed and supported by evidence and it shows.
Rittenhouse deserves (and has the right to) a fair trial. Instead he is getting a show trial run by a gang of incompetent amateurs.

Moron places his finger on the trigger. A clear and present danger. Bet he never fired a gun in his life.

Knows nothing about gun safety and has a childish haircut. Ignorant and immature.

Looks like the prosecutor has bad case of Alec Baldwin syndrome, or 'Deadly Idiot' gun handler habits as it is better known.

Was he just trying to scare the jurors, proving how dangerous the defendant was?

Idiot Binger ought to be run out of court, and then out of the legal profession. If I had been a juror whom this cretin had just covered with a weapon, his finger on the trigger, I'd have involuntarily caused a mistrial by yelling out "Whoa!" and cursing at the prosecutor. Verboten behavior. If he had tried that outside the courtroom, he'd have risked getting shot immediately by a defender, whether by law enforcement or legally armed civilian. Idiot idiot idiot. Where do these people come from?

C'mon #9, you know where these people come from. They're the issue from one of the participants of anal copulation. The "catcher" if you will.

Sarah Palin had a map with cross hairs on districts and that supposedly targeted those reps and caused somebody to shoot one. How is this not a threat to the jury by the prosecutor? He is encouraging violence towards the jury.

Hopefully the idiot prosecutor won’t Baldwin anyone.
Think about it. The people in the courtroom did not inspect the gun, so they would not know the gun’s status.
I wonder if there would be a cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress. You’re sitting there helpless and he’s pointing it at you. There might even be a criminal violation. While there is a qualified immunity for statements made in a courtroom, this seems way beyond the pale.

This so called prosecutor needs to be sanctioned and then disbarred. Any officer of the court knows better than to point a gun at ANYONE.

I was watching and saw that. He is a total idiot and incompetent. I couldn’t stand listening to him praise the shot thugs while telling the jury Rittenhouse was the worst person in the world. I’m afraid some jurors might believe his lies.

I thought jury intimidation was illegal. How about reckless endangerment?

Trying to Pull a Baldwin is an amazing show of stupid by this persecutor. The judge really needs to rein this guy in big time. This idiot is setting standards for future cases that are mind boggling in their stupidity.

Not only did this idiot prosecutor point the weapon at the jury with his finger on the trigger, but he kept his finger on the trigger while passing it off to a person behind the prosecution's table. He was flinging this gun around with his finger on the trigger. I'm surprised the officers in the court didn't jump in right away and take the gun away.

Re: #4, the best you can do is post a link to an image somewhere on the web, and invite people to take a look if they choose.
