Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber as he was being attacked by a raging mob. Rittenhouse, also fired on Gaige Grosskreutz as the attacker held a handgun toward him. Prosecutors claim that Rittenhouse was a vigilante looking for a fight. The defense, and all video of the events, show all shootings were justifiable self defense.

Stream with commentary:
This is from Rekieta Law, with other lawyers popping in and out. It’s been good throughout the trial.
bunch of shrieking childish entertainers none of whom practise law in the real world adds nothing to the trial footage.
Agreed. That’s why I posted that link, and not a CNN stream.
It’s easy to check out lawyer credentials if not already known. Ron Coleman works in the Harmeet Dhillon firm in New York, no doubt Treepers have seen Harmeet’s firm’s work on many conservative issues. Robert Barnes is nationally known.
There were a couple others I didn’t recognize right away but were easy to check out. The civil litigator from TN who stopped in late today did an excellent job of explaining ‘lesser included charges’ and the one on one session Kyle had with the Judge regarding them.
I found the main problem to arise when the days got long and too many people gathered in one place and some imbibing occurred. Overall though, a good resource. The PBS feed was a great, reliable, raw feed to have running when muting the commentary.
I was shocked, however, how much money people through at youtube and these commentators, considering youtube takes 30%. During the high points of Kyle’s testimony I was tracking close to a grand an hour, more sometimes, gross. I guess I picked the wrong life’s work, building widgets. Gift of gab pays. Can’t argue with reality.
My take on the trial was Richards did his level best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The prosecution had a crap case and Richards let them build it into a serious threat with a jury that was picked way too fast for a high profile capital case. Good information for those of us out there focused on 2A and self-defense in this fine Republic.
I watched and listened to this Podcast for the last couple of days. Many deferent people, sounded like most were Lawyers. Didn’t realize there were Conservatives in the Legal profession?

Watched this, was surprised to learn Kyle’s father lives in Kenosha. Somehow Kyle is always described as an “Illinois resident” leaving out that even if his mom had custody, Kyle was surely often in Kenosha, and has a strong personal stake in Kenosha.
Kenosha and Antioch are both right on the IL / WI border. Depending on where the parents live they might only be 10 or 15 miles distant from each other.
Closer than that in straight distance, like 5-6 miles.
Yes, I was surprised by how much of his family lived in Kenosha. He was very anchored there. It wasn’t like he just up and went there w/no personal context.
You know, that is a VERY SALIENT piece of information. Kenosha was at the very least his second home town.
Same metropolitan area.
“They” leave out allot, like how those 2 criminals that he killed in self defense were members of a Democrat-Marxist Anarchist group called “The People’s Revolution” which is probably a FBI (NKVD) steered group.

The other day, Kyle responded to the prosecutor and said he was defending his community. The prosecutor said, your father’s community and Kyle replied, no, my community.
I had not known until that point that it was his community as the reporting I had heard did not mention his father resides there.
It’s called living on/near a *state line*… I lived in a town in Rockland County (NY).. we were on a state line of New Jersey… Was constantly in NJ (shopping etc) only 10 minutes from my then home… Also, on the other side of town (still a state line) would drive 5 minutes for gas, it was always cheaper (not cheap) in NJ..
A lot of those carping about “state lines” are Beltway blowhards, who don’t actually live in DC. They live in Virginia or Maryland.
VA side of DC was surrendered back to the state in 1803 due to the outcry about an active slave market in that side of the city…DC was once a part of MD…it is why I say if the Dimm/commies really wanted voting rights for the residents they could just reintegrate THOSE counties back to the original home state…by the US Constitution the federal administration district is to be a federal reserve NOT a state
Do they still pump your gas for you in NJ? Anyone remember those days of gas station attendants that would actually clean your windshield while pumping gas for you and you paid through the crack in own car window?

Check out this discussion of why it was legal for Kyle to have his gun.
It was so obvious as this lawyer walks you through the statues that I
was shocked when the lawyers were arguing about it today.
Kyle Rittenhouse NOT GUILTY of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm – Lawyer Explains – YouTube
I recall Schroeder himself finding the statute confusing so if lawyers and a judge find the statue confusing, how can jurisprudence expect a citizen without legal knowledge to follow it?
I’m reminded of the book “Three Felonies a Day” which outlines how any of us, due to the voluminous and arcane and difficult to comprehend laws out there, can, just by living, commit three felonies a day, or more, and not even know it. Which ones did I commit today?
That’s how an oppressive government destroys the freedoms of their citizens. The government is made up of humans and those humans are the problem. The laws didn’t magically appear on their own. Humans carefully crafted them. There’s your problem lady. Humans. Nearly all of them lawyers.
If the statue is confusing you can’t apply it to Kyle. That’s a foundation of trial procedure!
it is called statutory tyranny…they do it on purpose so anyone those in charge wants to eliminate political is in danger
The jury is the finder of facts, not finder of law. The jury decides what the facts are, the judge tells the jury what the law is. When the judge instructs the jury at the end, he basically says if you think the facts are these then you say guilty and if you think the facts are these others then you say not guilty.
I think it is pretty obvious that the defense lawyers are Republicans. They seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
They’ve had some good moments, but they are routinely asleep at the wheel on things that are absolutely crucial.
Robert Barns has grave concerns about the donated money and the ability of the defense.
I don’t know if dumping him was to hide something, to keep from actually winning, forced by some outside pressure, or a desire to keep it local.
I sniff conspiracies virtually everywhere, and don’t sniff one here. I’ve listened to Barnes, absolutely baffled that all his efforts were turned away. But this seems more like a desire to keep it local. When I see this team, they seem dedicated, just slow and passive.
It makes me think that Barnes’s efforts felt like having a drill sergeant arriving at your house before a huge exam with spreadsheets and flashcards offering help. If you’re trying to focus, you might send him away, even if, objectively, he absolutely could help you. When you look at Richards, he’s smart, but it just seems like he’s going 10 miles per hour to Barnes’s 80 mph. We all want the fast guy, but unless the slow guy’s gonna hand over the case, he may just have to block things out to focus. Just trying to imagine that POV.
It really does baffle they didn’t take the help, especially for jury selection. But I just don’t smell a rat.
FWIW, I think the defense team plays well for an audience so hopefully has kept the jury on side. And they got lucky with an utterly poised client.
I’m inclined to agree regarding Barnes. I don’t believe for a second that the defense lawyers are intentionally throwing the case.
I think that what they are doing is a deliberate strategy. I felt like they were taking legal risks to gain credibility with the jury.
Is there a reason why you didn’t illustrate your charge with a least 2 or 3 salient examples?
Rittenhouse’s defense are Caucasian Ben Crumps. Pathetic.
Certainly didn’t cover themselves in glory today…They are determined to make sure Kyle is convicted of something… Pray for Him
The “lesser” charges are very weak – provocation. Evidence is very dicey video. No testimonial witnesses. I think the defense couldn’t stop a lesser charge from coming in. And are confident they can knock it down in summations.
Provocation isn’t a lesser charge. Provocation is a rebuttal to the self defense defense.
Yep ??
This kid was arrested ,incarcerated, and put on trial in what, about a year 3 months? Compare that to the trials of the coup plotters that took down a sitting U.S. President. Oh wait- theres been no arrests or trials.
Exactly. It is frustrating as hell.
It was 4 months before the B!&ch who killed my grandson was even indicted. ADA says it will probably be 2-3 years before we go to trial. Kyle’s case moved at light speed by comparison.
In Broward County Florida it can easily take 8-10 years for a murder case to go to trial. The defense bar completely controls the court system in Florida!
They were never arrested because maybe they are on fbi payroll?
Both parties have rested so all they are doing in court today is arguing jury instructions. The jury won’t return until closing arguments on Monday.
Why were they allowed to go home for the weekend? Apparently the Gov. has called the National Guard to be ready. Seems to me in a nationally covered case the jury should be in a hotel somewhere.
The liberals are hoping for a holiday miracle.
“You asked for miracles, Theo, I give you the F.B.I..”
Exactly! I can hear the music now!
Johnson ?, no the other Johnson
“No relation” LOL
FBI=NKVD
Knowingly law as I do, the defense had many opportunities to object over these past days but didn’t. Then to have prosecution convince the Judge to allow a blurred picture that was provided from the same video they all watched minus the jury of course, to be accepted, as a possible provocation is utterly disgusting.
Kyle didn’t fail, his defense failed him. I can only pray that the jury acquits on all charges.
Yesterday, the Defense team tried vary hard to keep that image out. They made a strong arguement (s) against it. The Judge failed, not the defense. On this issue.
That said, I think in summations the Defense can easily knock down the “provocation” claims. There is no reliable evidence of it.
I partially agree on defense as there were many times for objections, such as relevancy, hearsay, ask & answersed, etc. yes, the judge was to lenient on allowing evidence to be submitted but we can all clearly see that when a prosecutor is trying to convince you of his opinions on certain matters has absolutely no relevance and is beyond the purview of the courts as well, it’s now up to the jury to decide in which prosecution will drive the same points home regarding provocation like they did with the judge, will put the jury in doubt for the defense and possibly a hung jury which will could then lead to another trial.
I stand in prayer for Kyle, as that is all I can do.
I pray with you
I can’t stop thinking about him. I just want to fix it for him, and can’t. I pray for him constantly, I hope everyone is holding this young man in positive energy and prayer. I cannot imagine what it is like to be in his shoes, and his poor mother, jeez. .
When I saw this I was filled w/so much anger. We are at a crossroads, we divide the country down the middle and don’t cross each others borders, or we end up in a civil war that will not end well. We live in a very sick world.
https://www.weaselzippers.us/476429-communists-are-terrible-people/
Relies far too heavily on the jury’s attitudes and predispositions.
The defense backed down and the prosecution literally bullied and shamed the judge. The defense made better arguments today, still without passion or advocacy — but the evidence was already in, which made the provocation decision the next logical step. There’s really no way to vindicate the defense on this.
If anything, the defense appears over confident. These prosecutors are nothing short of pathetic. From my perspective, the defense should have kept right on hammering for the mistrial with prejudice regarding that ridiculous 5th amendment scam the prosecutors tried to pull. The issue of the altered still photo yesterday and the state’s eunuch “expert” was another point the defense seems to accept once they got the guy admit he didn’t know how or what colors were added to the blown up photo. Once he admitted that, the defense should have moved to have the photo excluded in total. I didn’t see them do that. If the jury is being intimated, which they likely will be, the possession of the gun charge will be how they can justify to the mob “they convicted him”
Convicting him on the illegal gun charge will NOT appease the mob. Nothing short of life in prison (or execution) will
I think it’s because they know this judge and he’s predisposed to allow evidence to the jury rather than deny it, so there is no use ticking him off like Binger has repeatedly done. Usually on cross examination, you’re limited to the scope of what was discussed in direct. This judge doesn’t have that rule, due to some state law quirks and has said as much on stream.
I’ve been watching the stream and I think the defense is doing a fine job so far. Sure, maybe you can find people wanting to quibble, but be sure they even know the local rules first, because this jurisdiction is a weird one, some of the normal rules just don’t apply, like the rule I mentioned earlier.
I hope you’re right. Certainly looked like the prosecution benefitted from insulting the judge.
Can’t the defense address the issue of the video and pretty much write it off as misleading in closing arguments?
the prayers are nice and all, but if he is convicted of something anyway, why don’t we DO something about it? or is that gods will and we should just stand by and wait until he comes to our rescue?
there is only ever one reason to do the right thing, but cowards will find a thousand excuses to do nothing. “prayer” being one of their favorites. There’s a reason it’s called the last refuge of the scoundrel.
The original Samuel Johnson quote is that “patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel” which of course applies perfectly to the various outrage merchant grifters — Steve Bannon chief amongst them.
prayer is NOT “nothing”…I would venture to say the CREATOR of the Universe is FAR more equipped to do what is within His will than any MEAGER semblance of action you may engager in
It is well known from studies that the sick who are prayed for do better than those who are not prayed for. Neither party knows who is and is not being prayed for. So prayer works. But God does help those who help themselves as well.
Thank you.
Well, I can’t really say here what I want to see done, but I am broke at the moment so I can’t send money, I am old and can’t really travel all the way to Wisconsin to riot in the street w/the young thugs and communists, and I don’t have the skill set, nor the cash, to go all Rambo to do a prison break and provide him a new identity.
But what I can do is pray, which I am doing, it is all I have to give and I figure it is better than nothing at all, and it is certainly better than not giving a damn about the boy. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I have personally received miracles and felt the presence of God and his Angels, and I am praying for Kyle to experience the same.
Totally agree.
What I don’t understand is why they didn’t call the guy that fired the first shot, that Kyle allegedly pointed his gun at, to the stand?
I have to assume he never made that claim or he would have been a star prosecution witness. This accusation is only possible because the evidence fairy dropped the drone video on the prosecution’s doorstep last Friday.
Without this claim, how the heck did they ever file charges to begin with?
Leftist billionaire Bill Ackman tweets that contrary to liberal media reports, trial testimony shows Kyle Rittenhouse to be “a civic-minded patriot with a history of helping his community” who acted in self defense. The liberal media’s first assumption, of course, is that Ackman’s account has been hacked!
Click for more>>> ‘Left Winger’ Bill Ackman Says Kyle Rittenhouse Is “A Patriot Who Acted In Self-Defense”, Media Assumes Twitter Account Hacked | ZeroHedge
Perhaps, for me, the most interesting part of this trial has been watching the left’s evolution of outrage as they see each day a case slipping away from their ideology based assumptions of how it must play out. The latest charges of “he’s a white supremacist” are laughable given that he was protecting himself from white aggressors, all of whom had police records of violence. In fact one self described “highly educated progressive” has changed her mind about the incident having learned the aggressors were white. Translation: minorities are justified breaking the law due to their history of oppression but whites are not justified in response.
Who oppressed the NONWHITES? Oh yeah, DEMOCRATS!!!
I predict the prosecution or their leftist operatives (I repeat myself) will use the next few days to sabotage the jury and stoke leftist rage.
I agree. They are trying to stoke riots.
will patriotic rage meet them on the battlefield for a change?
It’s what I always hated about the community organizer president. These race-baiters are mini-tyrants.
Manipulating a crowd, stoking violence and property damage are all power and controls plays. It’s addictive as heII for them.
I’m disgusted that we’ve created generations that think community activism is a worthy endeavor. It’s become the new religion and it is contrary what Christianity espouses.
They are community agitators not community activists.
As long as the prosecution can maintain enough of the narrative that their MSM and social media partners have been bombarding the local citizenry with, the key words and images should activate the brainwashing. That combined with the covert threats by their surveillance operation on the jury could loom large in shaping the verdicts, especially if there is a matrix of lesser included charges in the mix.
I’m not too concerned about riots. The Communist mercenaries have been pretty quiet since last year, PDJT is gone and wide swaths of citizens have been weakened physically, emotionally and financially by the Covid op. There isn’t really anything to be gained except if the Communists plan to go full potato with the insurrection act and martial law; then riots would be a good excuse/lever. Two weeks to calm the nation. Remember the lockdowns, two weeks to flatten the curve. Noticed Newsom just extended his powers until March 2022. Two weeks is now two full years.
Not guilty!
This case illustrates how far our country has degraded. When the authorities, federal, state and local stood down, obviously sponsoring the rioting, looting and arson of major cities, why were there not thousands of armed citizens protecting their communities?
Americans have largely become neutered, and complacent. It’s our homes, communities and country. We have outsourced our responsibilities to massive government agencies without recourse to accountability for incompetent service.
It used to be incompetent, now we are like serfs, subordinated to a corrupt and vicious elite class.
This kid is more of a man than 99% of society around him. Our authorities go after him, while standing down, watching rioters, criminals, child molesters burn, loot, assault, kill and intimidate citizens. The FBI was using drones to monitor the progress of the BLM rabble that they are sponsoring to intimidate the public. It is unbelievable.
Please see my comment elsewhere in this article’s comments. The FBI and Antifa-BLM are answering to the same masters, and are on the same team. The “law enforcement” stand-down against the rioters while prosecuting people acting in self-defense is intentional, and is part of a strategy.
If there was a moment in the trial that typified the point your making — it’s when the officer was on the stand testifying that, the night of the event, when Rittenhouse ran to his cruiser after being attacked and defending himself, announcing he’d shot someone, he (the officer) told him to get back and pepper sprayed him. What was that cop thinking? Was he concerned with the public welfare? No, petty coward.
We didn’t have riots in my neck of Florida. I wonder why??
Jury should get the case tomorrow, not Monday. . . .
Not to question your faith, Faith, but tomorrow is Saturday.
The judge said earlier he wasn’t against working on Saturday. I pray we don’t see the violence over the weekend that is surely being fomented.
Three days off for a non-sequestered jury in a high profile case with strong outside political forces in play doesn’t bode well IMO. The propaganda machine will be working overtime today and this weekend and, although the jury was instructed not to view, heh, we all know how that works out.
I’ll go out on a limb and opine no targeted violence remotely relevant to the case between now and when the jury returns the verdicts. Of course America is a violent nation and violence is always happening but don’t believe they’re fire up the mercenaries for this case at this time.
Just a thought on the judge’s ruminations on the beneficial aspects of repeatedly viewing videos. What I would like to see is the publication on the internet of the raw HD drone video. Unedited, un-enhanced, “Just the facts, Ma’am.” (Personally, I’d like to see the raw video, cropped to the narrow area of interest, in slow motion, with no interpolated pixels added, but with level and contract of original pixels adjusted, covering the period from the entry of Rittenhouse to the area by the sign through the time of his turning to begin the pursuit through the lot. ) Then see what the multitude of video geeks amongst us can come up with, while having to defend their methodologies, algorithms, and conclusions subjected to stringent peer review. Let a thousand flowers bloom, as one of the heroes of the left famously said. The video is in the public record at this point, is it not? I’d even give the Woke “fact checkers” a “kick at the cat”. Seems like that is going to happen sooner or later. Preferably sooner, but I’m kinda impatient.
FBI footage
Don’t know if it has been enhanced in any way
Wow. Posobiec figured out they doctored the photo. Kyle is right handed and what they did to the photo makes him left-handed.
The defense needs to get ahold of the judge immediately to point out what they’ve done.
The young man should be getting awards from the mayor or Governor, not charged with a crime. Even leftist media people have to admit that main stream media is lying about every aspect of this case. I saw that spanish TV clip where they broadcast a fictitious story about him shooting 2 black people. They say what ever they want to incite people and keep the Hate boiling.
I’m sure there are hundreds of thousands of useful idiots who see clips like this and it just adds to whatever lies they have previously heard and it gives them the justification to act out. The media knows damn well they incite these idiots very easily with there lies.
I know you have young clowns (who know just about everything of course) who idolize 1960’s radicals and think that the riots they participate in these days somehow is equal to the anti war riots of that era. You have plenty of Radicals of that era who are now working in every kind of schools, on committees and in other levels of federal and state government who do whatever they can to add to the chaos we see today. Hoping they can bring the “Revolution” to life and change the world into some Shangri–La they formed in their heads in 60’s or 70’s while they were wasted in collage .

What about the threats made by “floyd’s nephew”?
Are these not credible?
Do the jurors know about them and if so, can they bring these concerns to the judge?
If I’m a juror and heard about these, I would definitely be very concerned.
It is disgustingly obvious that this “prosecution” is to instill fear into any that carry a weapon for personal protection. They’re intent is to bankrupt you regardless of the outcome. This mindset is sick, twisted and diabolical.
Kyle’s case has been very instructive, how a robust fact pattern of self-defense can be broken down by the system. The main plus is two enemy Communist mercenaries are dead, never to foist their ill deeds upon peaceful men again.
This is what the high road looks like. Kyle is taking the clearest, cleanest, most robust high road there is. All followers of the high road should take notice. This is reality in our great Republic.
Picture our founding fathers being tried by the King’s court. Plenty of them were. Out of those and other experiences, and by great bloodshed, emerged what later birthed our Constitution. Many gave the last full measure of devotion to their beliefs in freedom as did those honored yesterday who preserved that freedom and we’re damn fortunate that they did.
Since their mercenaries didn’t kill Kyle, their system is doing its level best to correct that shortcoming. Kyle could be any of us. He is us. God be with him and this great Republic.
BTW, if you ever take the stand to defend yourself, never, ever show any doubt when you are the only one with firsthand knowledge regarding your actions. Just because witnesses interpret situations, can never take over what you were thinking, doing, saying or why you reacted the way you did.
A witness is not you! The picture that Binger kept showing and asking Kyle when on the ground supposedly pointing at Gage G. Was a side point view and no topical photos were provided. Only Kyle knows whether he pointed the gun.
If you are trying to sit up with a rifle in your hands, the rifle is going to go with your motions and that’s why prosecutors used the still photo to make it look like Kyle was pointing at him.
this was one of those objectionable moments for me. Kyle did not explain it but admittedly said at “His Feet” in which prosecutions rebuttal was “at his body”.
for anyone who’s ever dealt with jury trials, this a classic bait and switch wording so the jury hears it and that’s what matters.
Media will cover for Biden use of Negro about Satchel Paige, but Judge make fun of his Chinese food being held up in a Long Beach harbor and he is a White Super Pizza.
Watching these lawyers argue today — it’s just so maddening. They are parsing absurdities and revealing how it important it was for the defense to be more assertive, especially with objections.
By the evidence – including his own testimony – this kid gets acquitted. The lawyering may tank him.
At the end of yesterday, the prosecution literally shamed the judge into letting in a doctored, blurry picture with no witness attached to it. In the closing, prosecution’s going to make an argument for which they had no witness to corroborate — no evidence whatsoever — except a photo they doctored. That photo should never have been allowed in. The judge keeps advertising he has no technological awareness. And yet by deferring on this doctored pictured, he’s allowed the prosecution to hammer a theory of provocation that otherwise would have been unavailable to them.
When the judge says Chinese food in LB harbor is that kind of like saying “Lets Go Brandon!”?
Ultimately, this isn’t about Rittenhouse; it’s about (Frankfurt School) Herbert Marcuse’s “repressive tolerance” applied to street violence.
Antifa and Black Lives Matter are Astroturf street thugs (a/k/a useful idiots) funded by the axis of the CCP and Globalists that are working to subvert and neutralize (I would argue destroy) the United States of America. In this, Antifa (which can trace its roots to Communists in 1930’s Germany) and BLM are the direct descendants of the National Socialist brown-shirts, Fascist black-shirts and so on. Their purpose is to serve as street thug enforcers used to intimidate and/or attack opponents of the revolution.
That is why the DOJ / FBI (which serve the same CCP-Globalist masters – https://www.trevorloudon.com/2021/07/antifa-blm-the-fbi-collaborators-in-a-communist-revolution-against-the-united-states/ – ignore their crimes, if not facilitate them.
Meanwhile, Rittenhouse, the couple in St. Louis and others who a being assaulted and engage in legitimate self-defense are brought up on (ahem) non-meritorious prosecutions – intended to make an example of them and buttress the intimidation power of the street thugs; for folks will be reluctant to fight back lest they end up in jail.
That’s one reason for the extra-zealous prosecution of Rittenhouse. The axis / DOJ-FBI and Antifa-BLM allies all realize that if the street thugs start getting blown away – even if in legitimate self-defense by the other party – recruitment of useful idiots could take a serious hit.
This is an important case for America. When you have to use a gun to defend the military coming to you door to inoculate you, this will be one of the cases referenced.
Both sides have a stake. Very important case right now.
This should have never gone to trial
I watched this all the way through, and, what a remarkable this young lad is.
In such a short life he has achieved much…… learning……… helping…… doing something constructive……… and…. it would be nice if a certain ex President would once again say those words….”If I had a son…… it would be Kyle”
He will go free and will make from the book, the film…… the endorsements….. and hopefully he will be very rich given what he has been put through………. I wish him so much luck…….
If you have time Kyle….could you teach me how to shoot that good!
I am not sure it was his shooting as much as Divine Intervention. He had just had his bell rung by the skateboard, was running on adrenaline and fear, survival instincts kicked in. Here nor there, whether it was his skills or something else, it was an incredible night of madness for this young man. As they say the road to hell was paved w/good intentions. It is amazing he was able to keep it together.
If only Kyle had some Skittles there would be no trial.
Another chuckle for the day ?
Race hustlers have long knives out for Kyle.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/11/the_race_hustlers_have_the_long_knives_out_for_kyle_rittenhouse.html
Sadly today and yesterday’s events at the trial seem to indicate this has been a show trial all along and the fix is in to find Rittenhouse guilty. I hope I am wrong. The prosecution succeeded in introducing as ‘evidence’ that Kyle provoked Rosenbaum, Huber and others’ chasing & attacking him by supposedly pointing his firearm at them EVEN THOUGH THE VIDEO AND STILL FRAMES INTRODUCED AS EVIDENCE OF THAT ARE BLURRY AND DO NOT PROVE THAT AT ALL. The defense failed in its job of providing defense of Kyle by not preventing such blurry “evidence” from being introduced. Then, after such blurry “evidence” was allowed to be introduced, today compounding that injustice, the Judge allowed the prosecution a “provocation instruction” to the jury whereby the jury will be told they must consider “evidence” that Kyle provoked the clowns to chase & attack him. IF they decide there is evidence he did so, that NULLIFIES HIS SELF-DEFENSE ARGUMENT, paving the way for the jury to find him guilty. Everything hinges on whether the jury considers there is evidence that Kyle provoked his attackers. ITS A CRAP SHOOT. I want to point out that SOMEONE was repeatedly calling the Judge on his cellphone during the proceedings. Were those calls, the name of the caller & phone number appearing on his phone, A REMINDER THAT HE IS BEING WATCHED? Inquiring minds want to know who was calling the judge.
Rittenhouse was never going to walk in my opinion. Even if he prevails here the Feds will find something to go after.
Appeals and federal charges continue the ‘process is the punishment‘ MO of late. We saw it in spades in the Michael Flynn case. We’re seeing it currently in the J6 political prisoner cases.
If there was any ambiguity about who the enemy was before, I hope that fog is clearing now.
When Kyle is acquitted on all serious charges, will the useless, cowering Governor Tony Evers stand idly by as AntiFa thugs seek revenge? I suspect they are itching to once again punish the buildings in Kenosha for harboring evil white supremacists.
When Kyle is acquitted on all serious charges, will the useless, cowering patriots send tweets as AntiFa thugs seek revenge?
fixed it for you.
I don’t think they’ll call the mercenaries into action but, regardless, the lawyers who crafted the laws are part of their chain of command and direct the violence against property because the system can wordsmith its way out of responsibility for that and any minor collateral damage to humans.
There are really smart people running this op. Wicked smart. They’ve been working on this for decades, longer than I’ve been alive and I’m pretty old. At least those of us who didn’t know what the face of evil looks like are now getting an introduction.
Whenever the judge gets openly angry at the prosecution (with very good reason), he turns around and sides with them. It’s temperamental. Some who pride themselves on being neutral will overreact (or over-compensate) when they lash out, even when the lashing out was righteous and justified.
This judge’s psychology is on full display. He can’t abide the prosecution’s BS and delivers a warranted smack down, but also can’t abide his own anger, and it causes him to feel the need to “balance things out” by then salvaging something to agree with from what the prosecution was saying.
This is not uncommon for an authority figure who self-identifies as fair, neutral, and even-tempered. Such an authority can be manipulated once you see the pattern.
Yep, it’s psychology. Well done. OTOH, the judge could’ve listened to Binger barking and then calmly said, baliff, take this man to the county jail for the rest of the afternoon. He can bark at someone else. Consequences.
I was shocked at the prosecution’s demeanor and apparently some other prosecutors viewing and commenting were as well. The looks on their faces were priceless. IDK, maybe they got the jail cell lesson early.
Just my take, but Kyle isnt on trial here, the white supremacy/Trump meme is. The MSM already has the ignorant segment, without looking at the facts, believing Kyle shot 3 black guys. George floyds kin has been accused of jury intimidation, yet nothing has happened to them. Yet.
Yesterday in St. Paul, MN, an asian member of the US gymnastics team, and her friends, were attacked by a car load of losers who taunted their ethnicity and pepper sprayed them. Of course the MSM brought up DJTs use of calling the covid virus the ‘kung fu flu’ leading the ignorant reader to think that Trump supporters were behind that. Yet no description of the perps were mentioned, nor was mentioned that the vast majority of these attack’s have been carried out by blacks.
Who knows whats going on in the minds of the jurors, what biases they hold, or if they were bought off. With that in mind, I think Kyle will be convicted of something. The “white Trump loving supremacist” needs to be brought to just-us, and besides, the city of Kenosha needs fire insurance. Not to be an Eeyore, but its just the way our country rolls anymore.
You may be right. But I think jury bias is hardest to overcome when facts are ambiguous, and the media narrative (ie, White Supremacist) is at least a plausible way to interpret things.
I’ve speculated in other comments that maybe it backfires when a jury sees the prosecution put on a case that ITSELF contradicts the media narrative, and in a pretty brazen way. People were led to think Rittenhouse went on a rampage and killed Black protesters. Honestly, many people think the people he killed were black. They think this case is about rage against BLM. It’s pretty obvious that’s not what the case is really about at all.
When the disconnect is SO wide, I think there’s a chance things backfire against confirmation bias, and flips the other way.
It makes me think of a distinction between two types of CNN addicts:
Ideologues, who will never change their minds, and will see the lies and help perpetuate them; vs
Herd-thinkers, who tend to have tribal allegiances that override critical thinking or curiosity for truth.
The latter operate heavily by confirmation bias, and black-and-white trust in the purveyor of information (rather than the quality of the information itself).
The latter group will cling to their narrative so long as it’s “bad people” trying to present the truth. But they can be flipped. Discredit the purveyor, and critical thinking will turn on, and allegiance may even flip.
Why this so rarely happens is because it’s extremely difficult to discredit a trusted purveyor of information (confirmation bias).
It takes at least one of 2 things to change a mind: primary/source information that’s wholesale different than what they’ve been told (people who watch CNN never check the primary source, they believe what they’re told) and/or blatant internal contradiction by the purveyor himself.
The jury may have never believed anything the defense said. But here, the prosecution’s own evidence shows the opposite of the narrative they’ve pushed for the last year. They’ve been saying Rittenhouse is a dangerous white supremacist — but all their OWN evidence shows it was the guys he was up against who were not only white (media had been insinuating they were black) and using the “n” word. If this jury thinks this case is about white rage against BLM, that’s not what they’ll hear and see at trial. They’ll also see a prosecutor, supposedly there to hold “white supremacy” accountable, totally ignoring, even valorizing the only guy who actually DID show any racism.
And that’s just one example.
I think there’s potential here for flipping the emotional thinking that causes confirmation bias to flip the other way.
What I liked about this article were the 2 pictures included. (Ackman is a gun grabber, so I guess this is somewhat interesting)
First photo is with Kyle being kicked in the face while down, the other is when his gun was being pulled on.
Both of those pictures back up Kyles self defense motive.
(I watched most of it live stream the night it happened, so I have never doubted Kyles sincerity, I just think these 2 photos truly depict the situation)
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/democrat-billionaire-hedge-fund-manager-announces-support-for-kyle-rittenhouse/
Ackman is probably considering a political run. He doesn’t understand that dems are not allowed to break from the herd.
Those are good pics.
The series of tweets included in the article are interesting as I never would peg them coming from a leftist. Sanity and clarity are rare particularly when it’s a lefty discussing gun use, private property and rioting.
Remember Treepers, the 2 people that were killed were members of a Democrat-Marxist-anarchist group”The People’s Revolution” that is more than likely steered by the Democrat’s NKVD, also known as the FBI
The Peoples Revolution Milwaukee
https://business.facebook.com/ThePeoplesRevolutionMKE/?fref=mentions
The FBI had command and control drones tracking everything. So why not? And why would the FBI be there surveilling otherwise?
Yup, they were involved in orchestrating the Newark riots in the 60’s
If only real life was like those old Perry Mason episodes where the guilty always admitted it in the end, the innocent were always fully exonerated, and both sides really and truly cared about justice, as opposed to winning at all costs.
For everyone saying the defense is trying to avoid pissing off the judge, like the prosecution has, my question is — who’s strategy has paid off?
The prosecution has won on key issues, with garbage arguments/evidence, by browbeating and bullying the judge.
How has the prosecution suffered for being a-holes? The judge even acknowledged bad faith, and did nothing.
How has the defense benefitted by their passivity?
Serious question.
Raise your kids like Kyle was. Every kid should have a firearm and significant training. Even in CA, kids had rifles (circa 19xx to 1970-ish), and there was gun club, mostly for boys, but a lot of girls were trained to shoot by their dads and brothers. I consider it our patriotic duty to train the children in self-defense. And who knows what’s coming? All my daughters can shoot straight.
My dad never touched a gun after returning from the war but I still had a rifle before the age of ten, and gun safety course to go with it, not because of him, but because I wanted it and had the money. This was before RFK/MLK and the GCA.
He knew the ugliness of war but would never talk about it. Oddly, war history became a marked hobby at a young age, well before adolescence. I remember going to see ‘Patton’ and already knowing a lot about him.
Even today, though some young people scare me with their gun handling, I try to teach the basics, paramount of which is the gun is always loaded even when in pieces on the shooting table and shall never be directed at anything not intended to kill or destroy. Learn it, live it. IMO, Kyle did a great job.
Regardless of how the case is disposed of, he’s alive and the attackers are mostly dead. One guy of millions in the same circumstances is the reason I’m typing this. I honored him and his fellow veterans yesterday. He survived. God be with Kyle.
Firing a gun once is “control.” Firing a gun four times is PANICK. He was SCARED! So of course he would fire more than once. It’s a nonsensical point of view to think firing multiple rounds means anything else under the circumstances. You fire until you feel safe!
In a split second with someone standing over you with a gun or an object that could kill you, firing more than once in quick succession is necessary in case yoU MISSED.
I don’t know if Kyle went through a formal gun course, or self-defense with firearm course but when instructed as part of the LCH (license concealed handgun) in my state the instructors uniformly instruct to continue to shoot until the threat is clearly neutralized.
In the case of Rosenbaum, if I understood the medical examiner correctly, it was shot #4, the one that entered his back, piercing the lung, diaphragm and liver which was the ‘end the threat‘ shot. Once down and not demonstrably moving, the threat was over and Kyle did not shoot again.
The same apparently occurred with Huber and Grosskreutz and the latter likely enjoyed a significant error in threat assessment since he had a handgun and wasn’t ‘down’. Kyle the merciful. Grosskreutz lived to go on CNN and lie. America.
As Thanos would say:
“Kyle should have aimed for the head.”
Of course it could be argued that Kyle should have aimed for the child molester’s groin instead of his arm.
The 50/50 as measured by the likelihood that the jury hasn’t already been compromised.
If you see a ton of angry, violent and obviously ARMED people coming after this one guy, the case for self-defense is self-evident. To me, the question is more about the integrity of the jury.
Kyle should have been able to take the stand and say that guy with the gun is obscured by the light pole.
Pray that judge intervene if guilty verdict. Travesty.. all political to subdue the masses to submission. Take care of your community. Think local.
Judge occasionally quotes or references scripture and passages from the founders/Constitution.
Good afternoon all,
Unfortunately I’ve had a head cold this week, a negative rapid covid test, waiting on PCR result, but banished from work so I’ve been absorbing the two trials.
First observation,Kenosha needs a larger courtroom and the ability to smoothly display digital evidence.
Prediction, Kyle walks down the courthouse sidewalk after acquittal on all charges.
Now a prediction on Brunswick from a Georgian. All three are toast. Former DA Jackie was removed and is indicted. The state took over the prosecution with Atlanta area DAs dropped in on the coast.
Wasn’t the perp “jogging” in work boots? Or am I wrong? (I haven’t paid much attention to the case, know a little like the perp grabbed for the gun)
The jogger isn’t the perp in this case.
Doesnt matter what people think about what he was doing,
he’s not a perp, he’s dead. The accused are the perps
just like Kyle is the perp in his case.
He was actually running away from the guys with guns until they caught up to him and drew on him. He was unarmed.
Dont want to create a whole thread about it, SD could do it if he wanted.
But the video looks bad for the actual perps in the Arbury case.
Just to be clear, and I think we all agree,
a perp is the alleged defendant in a case.
Yep, they are toast.
In this case the video indicts the perps.
Its a lot different from the Kyle case, where all the video clears the perp.
The optics are horrible.
Just my opinion, of course.
Please spare us your medical problems. Way too much personal information that doesn’t affect us and for which is irrelevant and in which we have no interest. Really…..
I didn’t see today’s proceedings just that vague video the judge is going to let the prosecution show during closing.
It seems to me the defense attorneys need Kyle back on the stand to refute that as even the fat prosecutor, upon being asked by the judge where that other guy with the gun was, the one who shot in the air, said, “I don’t know, maybe behind this pole.” I suspect Kyle raised the gun briefly (but it doesn’t seem as if he POINTED IT), when that guy shot the gun in the air and was still holding it.
In other words, I don’t think the “provocation” charge that the prosecutors are going for here, should go unanswered. The jury will wonder, “Why didn’t we see this before?” and “Why didn’t the defense ask KYle aboout it on the stand?”
The defense doesn’t need to put Rittenhouse back on the stand.
Here’s the point. The prosecution had NO EVIDENCE that Rittenhouse ever raised his gun, EVER, without being directly affronted, within feet or inches, by someone immediately attacking him or threatening him with a gun. Period, full stop.
The video/still photo you’re mentioning — which was the focus of debate yesterday — is the prosecution’s last-ditch effort to get SOMETHING on evidence indicating that Rittenhouse ever raised his gun when not IMMEDIATELY threatened. So, they’re saying he raised his gun in reaction to the distant shot fired by Zominski. But he didn’t. The photo is blurred to create the impression that it’s figure of Kyle pointing the gun – but it’s not. There’s dispositive evidence that’s not what he was doing. He’s holding it down.
It seems by your comment you didn’t get that key fact – Kyle DIDN’T raise the gun, even for a second, has the prosecution alleges — and it’s understandable why you didn’t get it, and underscore the HUGE DANGER in letting this photo get before the jury.
The burden is NOT on Kyle to get up and answer for an inaccurate photo. The prosecution should have had to authenticate the photo, call a witness to attest to what it purportedly depicts, or – minimally – have an expert attest to whether it’s a fair and accurate depiction (which it is not, when even this bumbling defense managed to spit out today, belatedly, after it’s already in evidence). The prosecution wasn’t required to do any of that.
This is a blatant judicial error – owning in some part to defense passivity – but at least the defense put up the objection. It’s appealable …. but what confidence do we in have in an appellate judge to do the right thing.
This could go very wrong. Someone called it the reverse O.J., which seems pretty apt.

I pray you’re right, that the picture is soooo blurry that the defense, in closing, can say, “HUH?”
I’d like to know if a person looking at that video can indeed make out Kyle placing the fire extinguisher on the ground gently, as FAT MAN PROSECUTOR kept saying. IF people agree that is a fire extinguisher, they’ll likely conclude it’s Kyle.
Next, does he raise the gun. IS THAT visible or are those just words that try to paint that image in the jury’s brains? If it is so and the jury concludes, “Yeah, it’s Kyle and the gun kinda does move up, might there be a very good reason it did?????”
I’m going to assume that worst, that there are indeed jurors on that jury who are not going to respond as Winosha resident normally would, but rather as “anti-Trumpers.” Yeah. That a former POTUS might play into this verdict is disgusting but then that is what has happened to the country.
They might appreciate having just one tiny, itty bitty excuse for convicting him. Do I think there are 12 of those on that jury. I don’t think so. God, I hope not. But I want a unanimous, “not guilty” and I want it so quickly it will make those bastards who wish him and us ill to start to understand just how we loathe them.
Yeah, what’s so confounding is that by allowing the photo into evidence, the judge allowed for exactly what you’re describing — the jury grabbing onto the prosecution’s explanation of it.
The thing is, the Defense had a solid argument that what the prosecution is saying about the photo is factually and literally impossible. In order for Rittenhouse to be holding the gun as the prosecution alleges, he’d have had to switch it from the way he’s been holding it the whole time, to the other arm, and be aiming it as a left-hander. Jack Posobiec did a great display on this (you have to scroll down to his tweets on it): https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/with_replies
If they’d taken the time to argue it properly, they could have shown from other, clear footage he would not have had time to reposition his weapon, nor would it be reasonable to interpret the blurry photo as showing him having done so. They defense COULD have shown that the blurry picture wasn’t JUST blurry — it was actually misleading, and the prosecution is USING the murky photo to make an argument it knows is false. Because it’s demonstrably false.
It would be like if today was blue sky all day. You put a filter on a photo making it look grey and rainy. And despite other definitive evidence that it was blue sky, and NO witness saying it’s rainy, the judge allows the photo and says let the jury decide. As far as I can tell, the judge did that just because the prosecution was being so bitchy about it, even insulting the judge. I agree with you — if gives a flaky or jaded jury a pretext to exercise its prejudice.
Here’s what the defense needed to say:
The prosecution isn’t using this photo despite the fact that it’s blurry; they’re using it because it’s blurry, and the fact of it being blurry creates the perception of ambiguity where really there is none, allowing them to state as fact something they haven’t been able to corroborate with ANY witness or piece of evidence.
Thank you for the analysis. Greatly appreciated.
ETA, reading further content below, I get the impression of a Minnesota accent 😉
I’m reeling over the debacle on the blurry doctored photo and provocation decision — definitely black pill material — but let me try to lift our spirits by pointing to one of the seemingly small moments, that may well have had impacted the minds of the jury.
Think of the testimony of the officer in the cruiser, the one who pepper sprayed Rittenhouse when Rittenhouse came to the vehicle after the shootings. Think of how that plays for a jury. Set aside everything else in this case — is THAT how a public safety officer behaves? Either Rittenhouse was dangerous and the police cowered and sent him away — back to the streets where he supposedly being a menace — or he was being responsible, trying desperately to get himself OUT OF THE SITUATION that required self-defense, and officers totally abdicated. Rittenhouse DIDN’T want to be in a position of having to defend himself so badly that he was running to the cops. And they were petty cowards.
What does that make a jury feel? These are THEY’RE police. The ones they rely upon.
There were many small moments like that – for example each time the prosecution acted like it was no big deal to burn down mere “property,” aka, people’s livelihoods. We know how wrong that is, but think how the jury feels, having it flaunted in their faces, talking about their neighborhoods and businesses. This is their town. They aren’t used to it being lit on fire. They expect police to care about a business burning to the ground. Think of how unpopular “defund police” is.
And let’s say the jury WAS prejudiced against Rittenhouse, as Barnes’s data analysis suggested. We know that juries rarely change their minds, if they come in with a conclusion. But I that truism probably has exceptions. It probably applies when the media spins hard. But what about when the story pushed for a year has been wholesale fabricated? People don’t like being manipulated or lied to (problem is, they’re rarely get out of the bubble to see it). In this case, the prosecution’s case in chief was SO different than what’s been hammered in the media. For example, a lot of people were surprised to learn the people killed by Rittenhouse were white, and not black. That’s a PRETTY big difference, if part of what’s forming the bias is the “white supremacist.” And then consider the video of Rosenbaum on video using the “n” word. Those aren’t just bad optics for the prosecution — they totally contradict the key media narrative.
My point being, I do wonder if there’s a corollary to the truism about a jaded jury rarely changing it’s mind; and that would be that, when a jaded jury learns UNCONTESTED facts that outright contradict what they thought was true, it scrambles everything; in fact, it causes a normal person to start questioning EVERYTHING.
In fact, I think that discovering a central like is how a lot of people actually DO end up changing their minds on things. The problem is, people committed to a falsehood usually studiously avoid exposure to any source that would contradict it. A jury is a captive audience. And it’s not the defense putting on these red-pills, it’s the state.
So anyway, today was terrible, but big picture I still have some optimism.
I don’t understand why a judge lets hours go by with moving a video forward, backward, this and that, all day yesterday but is so cavalier about this “we just got a still photo shot of video that was shown and we think it’s relevant” and he allows it w.out allowing the defense an opportunity to let the defendant tell the jurors why he raised the gun even an inch.
The defense needs to hit hard at the hearts of the Winosha-ites….look, look at what those rioters did to your buildings and their threat to you, while Kyle was washing off graffiti and rushing down an alley to prevent a church from being set on fire.
Naive at 17? To think his presence would be of huge help? Yes, perhaps so. An aggressor? No, that is the opposite of what testimony AND video show.
The prosecutor keeps taking umbrage at the idea that ANYONE would have the audacity to interfere with “protestors” setting fire to livelihoods. I just don’t see how anyone finds that likeable, when he’s talking about your own town. People are identifying with owners of those businesses. It could be their own homes.
It’s so hard not to project my own mindset, but it felt like a natural instinct to identify with Rittenhouse in this whole thing, more than anyone else.
If you look at some other high profile, politicized cases, you often have pretty unlikeable defendants that no one could relate to, or you have a victim who’s a person of color, which plays into identity politics. Or you have a defendant who was in a position of authority (like a cop), also playing into politics. There’s usually a visceral angle playing for the prosecution.
This has been billed as a “racism” case, but no one is actually Black. Not one person. The only people of color where VICTIMS of the riots, like the Car Source owners. It’s also been billed as a “gun” case, but on that score, it was really pretty damaging that Grosskeurtz was revealed to have hid the fact that he, too, had a gun. And the police are on recording essentially saying they weren’t they’re protecting any property.
The only political prejudice left is about guns. The AR-15 is jarring, especially for someone who isn’t used to guns or gun culture. Otherwise, the other political lightning rods pretty much fell apart.
Hmmmmm. “…as he was being attacked by a raging mob…” We evidently were not looking at the same videos….
I thought 1/6 at the capitol was a “raging mob…”
Watching all of the trial, I would have to say that if I were on the jury, I would say that self defense was justified and corroborated by people who were there. I find it unconscionable that truly heinous T.V. Personalities and “journalists” weigh in.
Do you ever feel that a lesson could be taught to a few media sorts….knees are pretty susceptible to injury.
Tl before this goes into internet oblivion….please explain “Knees are pretty susceptible to injury.” It’s late…I’m tired, but I am interested in your response.
“to kneecap”, perhaps?
Yup! Got it.
THIS YOUNG MAN IS MADE OF STEEL. He has been through hell. The AntiFa thugs are never arrested for their observed crimes, murdering people and burning cities down at their leisure. Kyle was bashed in the head from behind (cowardly AntiFa) with a skate board. He was knocked to the ground and kicked in the face, while the AntiFa slime cheered. While on the ground his head and face were stomped. It’s a shame media constantly show him at his breaking point. As usual the Hollywood schmucks and jackals make sport of Kyle for crying. In reality there is no one in Hollywood with a real spine. They would soil themselves in the real world if assaulted or even breathed on. It’s amazing Kyle is alive after this entire ordeal. If he hadn’t a gun he would be DEAD AT THE HANDS OF THIS CHILD-MOLESTING FELON WHO DOJ APPARENTLY WOULD APPLAUD. Kyle’s young courageous life thus far is a living hell, because he thought he could save lives and businesses by putting out the destructive fires these fiends from hell started. AntiFa are uncivilized punks with very evil attitudes. We obviously don’t have a Dept of Justice that want to charge and arrest these thugs for their crimes. We do have a Dept of Justice who enjoy breaking into the homes of innocent people in the middle of the night and arresting them on bullshit charges. We do have a Dept of Justice which doesn’t mind that innocent January 6 Americans are abused and rotting in a scummy cesspool DC jail at the hands of the real racists.
Once the prosecution has presented it’s witness and evidence it’s over for them. That’s why they are required to say: The Prosecution Rests! No new exhibits are allowed after that.
Well, it appears they are going be allowed to show this still shot to the jury.
….but why???? You don’t get a “do over” in a criminal case!
Grosskreutz suggests on CNN that his arms were up when Kyle shot him. Say wat???? And of course, no challenge from Anderson Cooper. The left is pulling out all the stops to stoke riots and they may well succeed. Welcome to our new America.
https://therightscoop.com/what-gaige-grosskreutz-suggests-on-cnn-that-his-arms-were-up-when-rittenhouse-shot-him/
Kyle is about to get the Officer Chauvin treatment…with respect to the jury.
The jury is going home to hear over this coming weekend:
From celebrities, media and BLM-ANTIFA;
Guilty or your neighborhood burns.
Guilty or your homes burn.
Guilt, cause we know where you live.
Members of US Congress and the US President declaring him guilty terrorist.
The media playing prosecution witnesses giving alternate testimony all weekend.
On the other hand, they have to live next to their neighbors who can be NO FANS OF the LEFt after what was done to their town. This is the opposite of what the jurors in the OJ trial would gave faced when they returned to their street, their neighborhood, the businesses they trade with.
Everyone’s ramping up. Remember a time when the criminal justice system did its job and we didn’t have riots after verdicts? Yeah, well those days are long gone. Now, it wouldn’t be right if there wasn’t a riot. Gotta have a riot.
https://therightscoop.com/texas-republican-warns-police-officers-there-are-consequences-for-shooting-unarmed-rioters-in-wake-of-rittenhouse-ruling/
I believe our laws must be changed about shooting rioters. We are giving them license to destroy property.
