What the holy eff?! If I'd been on the jury I'd have walked straight out and refused to re-enter the courtroom until I had assurances the prosecutor was strictly forbidden from touching the weapons.

Ah yes, the Baldwin maneuver. Already a classic.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

With topics like this, when you have to check hoping it is a Babylon Bee article, and not for real, the future of the country is in grave peril.

Leave it to Joy Reid to twist this

Joy Reid: Right-wing Twitter called out the prosecutor for pointing a gun in the courtroom but ‘libruls are DUMB DUMB to fear AR-15s’

There were no *expletive deleted*ing blacks involved in this case,  why do they keep trying to play the race angle?*

I'll walk that one back if I've got it wrong.  The only form of social media I currently use is Gab,  which ain't exactly fond of The Tribes.  I'm only interested in correct.

One of the whines being voiced lately is that Kyle would have been immediately killed, if he were black, so black people would supposedly be upset if he walks.

'Course, some white people were trying to kill Kyle before he even fired a shot, so...

Is this the original condition of the weapon at the time Rittenhouse used it?  There are no sights or optics on this rifle.

His rifle had some sort of optic during the festivities.  Don't know when it was removed.

The optic was removed by a detective when the rifle was placed into an evidence box.

Since seeing the carbine in court without the optic I've wondered why would they remove it considering it part of the evidence?

Legal Insurrection is not at all impressed with the closing argument delivered by Rittenhouse's lawyers.

I think people liked the defense closing arguments because it was better than what they did during the trial.  Doesn't mean either was good.

Well, and they had a low bar handed to them from the other side. I mean, "everybody takes a beating sometime" is a freebie to the defense.

Has the judge ruled on the mistrial motion yet?  I’m guessing he’ll deny it, if he hasn’t already but I had heard for sure.

Apparently not.

Kind of sounds like maybe the judge is waiting on the verdict and wants to see an acquittal.  Might be holding onto the motion in case the jury doesn’t acquit.

He might want to start carrying an AR-15 if he does that.

I wasn’t impressed by the judge’s performance. Sometimes he was wishy washy and indecisive.

But he was very quick to call out the prosecutor on a lot of his bullshit.

So, if Rittenhouse is acquitted, and I really hope he is...

How many days of riots, looting, and burning are we going to have?

I'm putting it at 4 really solid days, and another 7 of sporadic flare ups.
