Sadly, if they already caught one guy, a half a dozen probably got away.

And, it’s not like it’s hard to stream it to a remote device.  Hell, FB live would do that.

The media is doing their thing. "Protestor" "Volunteer medic" "lone survivor". Also "He had a gun that he never intended to point at Rittenhouse". As for Kyle, "Heavily armed teenager".

He just won the case for the defense. Why would they want to impeach his credibility?

Some folks actually think Rittenhouse might get acquitted. I'm not nearly so optimistic.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

The point is to impeach Blasted Bicep Boy's testimony relating to his own actions.  He was testifying that he was not chasing Rittenhouse, was not moving to shoot him, was not intentionally pointing his gun at him, and wouldn't have shot him regardless because of his medical oath.

If the defense had pointed out that his routinely carrying a loaded firearm specifically for the purpose of self defense conflicted with his stated position of "do no harm" and being unwilling to injure or kill someone then it calls into deeper question the truth of his statement about chasing Rittenhouse, moving to shoot him, and intentionally pointing a gun at him.  Same reason they're trying to get his roommate's post about BBB saying his only regret was not emptying his gun into Rittenhouse admitted into evidence.

Earlier, there was another potential "gotcha" where BBB testified that he was not protesting and as a medic was treating people without respect to their affiliation, but also can be heard on the video calling out Rittenhouse for offering to help an injured protester because "we have our own medics".  I didn't think that was as impactful and didn't mind them missing out on that.  Of course, they did connect the dots on some of his hard left affiliations.

Defense got the medical examiner to testify that the injury to the pedo's hand was either in contact or within a few inches of the barrel, and that the distance from the injury to the pelvis was between 1 foot and 4 feet. 

The drone video (not the FBI's thermal, but another one) shows the pedo shooting from a better angle which still looks righteous.

I am surprised they would do that.  Maybe they think he will do well.

I don’t understand why they called him.  They don’t need it.  Hell, the defense could have rested with no witnesses at all and still had PLENTY for a full acquittal.

Yikes. This is the chance for the prosecution to pull a a Grosskreutz on the defense. Rittenhouse is still a young kid. No matter how much they prep him, there is still a good chance that the prosecution can lead him to saying something stupid in cross-examination.

I agree that they should never have called him. I hope it doesn't backfire.

He broke down in sobs partway through the defense questioning.  Either it was rehearsed or he's likely to have trouble with the prosecutor.

Binger kept pushing Kyle to admit he was trying to use deadly force to protect property. 

The judge told the jury to leave then absolutely tore into Binger.  Literally yelling at him for failing to respect his previous rulings.

My how times have changed. Used to be you had the right to protect property and people's livelihood. Now it's considered a crime.

I'm curious where the prosecutor is going with his ammo questions.  He's really stressing the fact that Rittenhouse used FMJ and implying it was likely to pass through the target and hit another target.  He was claiming hollowpoints would "explode inside the target" and full metal jackets were "designed to pass through and hit another target beyond".  The judge shut him down on that and then called for a lunch break.

Probably trying to show danger to the reporter that was behind the pedo, but I am unaware of any passthroughs that caused injury to another person and many of the rounds that hit were actually contained within the person shot.

I thought I read that the reporter took spall from either a pass through or a miss that hit the ground near him.
