DA FUQ????

Kyle Rittenhouse is shown on a video on Fox news pulling numbered balls out of a spinning mixing cage.

According to the story, he's PICKING THE JURORS who will be alternates, essentially picking his jury.

WTF is that?

It's like something out of the *expletive deleted*ing Hunger Games... Do other states do that?

They made him pull slips of paper out of a tumbler. I watched it. Rekieta Law's livestream said that was bizarre. Strange, but I guess it makes sense.

And won. And that is what the left is upset about. If he was left dead in the street I highly doubt we would have heard anything about it in the MSM after a couple of days if at all except how a mass murder by a far right extremist was prevented by our three heroes.

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.
I am hoping for a high number.  Eventually, the normies are going to get sick of that stuff.

The trial has been an absurdity on multiple levels.

The media coverage by and large has been absurd.

 
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.

I know he's photoshopped in but is that the actual court house right now with the doors and windows boarded up or is that some other place?

That is the courthouse, but the video of protestors outside shows the windows unboarded right now.

That might be changing soon.

Jury apparently deliberated for 45 minutes then requested copies of the jury instructions, particularly those sections pertaining to self defense.

I think it’s looking decently good for Kyle right now.  Impossible to say for sure of course but I’d have to think that asking for the self defense instructions means they’re taking that part seriously.  Which can only be good for Kyle.

I still think a hung jury, or conviction on some lesser included charges has to be at least as likely as full acquittal.  But I’m slightly more hopeful now.

Probably at least 2 or 3 on the jury who already had their minds made up before the trial he's a racist far right wing mass murderer and completely zoned themselves out when anything counter to that came up in the trial. I would love to be proven wrong on that.

I can see acquittal or a hung jury, but I'm not so sure about lesser charges - there have got to be at least a FEW people on the Kenosha jury who didn't like the unchecked rioting and arson in their home town and have no sympathy at all for the deceased, and they may just dig in their heels as solidly against convicting Kyle of anything as the ones who " . . . already had their minds made up before the trial he's a racist far right wing mass murderer . . . " who needs to be convicted of everything.

But of course, that's just a guess - seasoned court observers and actual legal experts (not just TV personalities) have only limited success in predicting jury outcomes, so I wouldn't place any bets with my own money on what happens.

Biggest wildcard here is how much of the jury intimidation business got to the jury and how much it's going to influence them.

I'm surprised the Babylon Bee didn't write that they were painting it with lamb's blood . . .

I think they said Chic-fil-a sauce in a previous article about a completely different scenario.

Doesn’t need to be the bee, numerous riots including Kenosha people put up blm or black owned signs on businesses they boarded up. Turns out they burn the same.


Is the revelation of jump kick man yet another bid to bait a mistrial? Seems like a little fun tidbit of exculpatory info intentionally not shared. Why wasn’t Rittenhouse prosecuted for attempted homicide on JKM? Almost like they didn’t want him in court or something.
