Okay, all joking aside.
I don't think the left as a whole is nearly as invested in this case as they have been in others, ie Floyd, Brown. I think there may be some incidents but they'll be small and mostly isolated. There is always someone looking for an excuse, any excuse to go out and pick up a new big screen TV.
My biggest worries is for the jury and Kyle, especially Kyle. All it takes is one.
Now if there's another police on POC shooting during what ever does happen then all bets are off.

I'll agree that people like BLM may not be invested in this, but Kyle was really defending himself against antifa and antifa-like white people, so I would definitely expect them to all come out of the woodwork. It might end up being localized to places like Portland. Chicago seems like it's more BLM land rather than antifa land.

In antifa's case I think it will be more of case of the MSM paying attention to antifa being antifa for a short while.
We shall see.

Thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

But the masses apparently think he just walked up to a bunch of black race-rioters BIPOC protestors and shot them, just for the pure white supremacy of it. Do the facts really matter to the mob?

Great comments regarding all the people shouting about "crossing state lines". Especially about the people who also shout about "no borders!"

Social media observation:
 
A LOT of the pushier blather seems to be coming from accounts which follow under 100 people, with under 100 followers themselves.
 
I'm guessing that a lot of them are interconnected, and... are a dozen or so windows on each of a few dozen workstations...
 
And they have a message to push, and are being paid by the post...

Have the attorneys for Kyle Rittenhouse proved he is innocent of all crimes beyond a reasonable doubt? Guilty! Off with his head!
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Hmm ... maybe they should have done that before the Kenosha riots.

It's just in case the Trump supporters riot when Kyle is convicted of a hate crime mass murder

I’m tired of hearing mother *expletive deleted*ers whining about “but the rule of law!”

The rule of law ceased to matter the second the police and politicians let the rioters run wild to burn, loot, and murder. I’m tired of people suddenly being concerned about every minute aspect of the shooting and law concerning Kyle having a rifle and defending himself  buuutttt excusing the actions of the rioters that ultimately earned them their bullets. *expletive deleted*ck em. If Rittenhouse had shot each and every one of them it would have been a great thing.

Apparently his lawyers have also submitted an official request for a mistrial.

I thought they did that last week.

Wouldn't a mistrial mean doing it all over again?

Depends. Simple mistrial, yes. Mistrial with prejudice. No.

Well, maybe I was wrong about only antifa rioting:

Looks like even the left is expecting something other than "guilty".

Depends.

A mistrial with prejudice would mean that the state can't bring the same charges again.

A simple mistrial could result in a new trial... or it could result in the prosecution realizing that its case is so weak that it doesn't see any avenue for success in seeking another trial.
