Easy for me to say since I had no property at risk from rioting arsonists. But that is one more reason I wouldn't want an armed teenager there, either.

I disagree for several reasons, some of which have been mentioned by others and at least one of which has not. I do agree that Rittenhouse should not have gone to Kenosha that night. But that is what comes of age and experience. I have done some stupid things, especially back when I was 17. That includes going to places which are not safe. But going there does not make him a vigilante, as the article slipped in. If it did, every bank guard who carried a gun would also be a vigilante.

I could almost agree that none of this should make Rittenhouse a folk hero. Even knowing our history of making folk heroes out of criminals like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Al Capone, and Bonnie and Clyde, I think this makes Rittenhouse much more of a folk hero than anything George Floyd did. And if the left can build monuments to him, the right can certainly elevate Rittenhouse's stature somewhat.

In the front ranks of the protestors behind the Fox reporter where two individuals carrying flag of Palestine. I've felt from the beginning that this case was co-oped for political reasons. Now they have taken even that to a new level. Palestine....Rittenhouse - how do you connect those dots?

In court today brought up about different video size. 3rd defense lawyer nailed ADA Kraus about file name, file size and meta data that showed different time of creation. ADA Kraus said he nor anyone knows how to compress or change video. But screen capture during his rebuttal shows he has editing and compression software in the folder of video. That would appear to me he lied to the court.

Beating a dead horse but, Prosecutor may have committed a misdemeanor.

Shows which lady he pointed the rifle at.

Idiot post says but it wasn’t loaded. Ask Alec about that as well.

Looks like Uncle Joe doesn't want the American people defending themselves against rioters. I guess terrorism against the American public doesn't work very well if the people can defend themselves.

Two hour closing, and so much disinformation. I sincerely hope he lost the jury with boredom and length. I know I am biased, but if I was a juror, I would wonder if he listened to the witnesses and actually watched the videos as his closing was full of baloney.
