The Kyle Rittenhouse Trial: What Will Be the Outcome?

Would be great if the verdict comes today. High for Kenosha today is 38 F, partly cloudy with a stiff breeze. There are groups gathered that are going to be angry regardless and today is not good protest weather.
 

Part of the issue is over the last 5 years or so protests got so common and violent some law enforcement started declaring the battling protestors mutual combatants and stopped intervening and this is just one example of what can happen when they don't.

Distinctions without differences? Differences without distinctions? I forget how it goes. Anyway, it's up to the jury now.

It isn't a distinction without a difference. The rules about what medics can and cannot do to not rule their personal off duty lives. And there is a very real difference between carrying concealed with or without a valid license. That's what the law says.

And if the parents of the rioters had raised them properly, we wouldn’t be talking about this at all. But they didn’t, and she didn’t, and 17 year old kids do stupid things. He defended himself. If the mob had succeeded in beating him to death, do you think they’d be prosecuted? I seriously doubt it.

The mob wasn't trying to beat him to death. They weren't even paying any attention to him until after he had killed the first man. The other two were trying to stop him from killing any more.

The other two idiots would have seen the entire incident & should have known better than to attack someone who defended himself.
Example: Let's say someone clubbed me in the head with a skateboard or kicked me in the head. If I'm armed, they will be shot. If anyone else attacked me, they would also be shot.

I don't understand your point. Grosskreutz is the paramedic with the loaded Glock and the expired concealed carry license. Are you criticizing him or saving all your ire for Rittenhouse? Seems like they are both in the wrong. Anyway, as I said, it's up to the jury now.
 
The jury has now had a day to discuss each of the three shootings separately. I'm hoping that today they bring it all together and give us a verdict before the weekend.

It's 41 degrees in Kenosha right now, surely not many people are going to feel like rioting if the verdict doesn't go their way.

Are you kidding? This close to Christmas, any excuse to go (ahem shopping) will trump any weather condition.
As they say in the business... "got bricks?" :(
 
I would imagine that any stores/businesses near the courthouse are closing down, and boarding up their doors/windows. With all the publicity this trial has received, there are probably a bunch of people just waiting for the verdict, so they can start their riots and looting....no matter what the verdict is.

This just in, not guilty on all counts. Get out the plywood.
 
I guess from now on the protest marches belong to the people with the guns. The rest of us better stay home in case we get between someone like Kyle and someone wielding a plastic bag.

About twenty years ago a cop friend of my brothers told him, "If you ever kill someone, just say you were afraid for your life and you'll get off." I guess he was right.

Not referring to Rittenhouse's victims, but to Rittenhouse himself, as being a white supremacist operative.

That's BS and I think you know it. He had no known contact with white supremacists before the event. Since then he let his picture be taken with some Proud Boys in a bar. Does that make him a "white supremacist operative?"

On the contrary, the BS lies in your efforts to deny his white supremacist leanings. I'll let the public record speak for itself.
 
I'm not surprised that this kid was found Not Guilty. I think this verdict reflects the increasing backlash concerning hundreds of thugs descending on our communities, in the name of BLM...or whatever...and rioting, looting and destroying local businesses all in the "name" of their "cause".

Most people would accept the right to peaceful protest, but when it descends into destroying communities, an increasing number of people are losing their patience. Perhaps this verdict will send a message to the extremists that their actions will no longer be tolerated.
 
Inept Prosecution-do not confuse a jury
I am beginning to think the only way to have a jury know what actually occurred is to bring the carcasses into the court room as silent observes for the duration of the trial.
