Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty

Yeah, I agree.

Hey look, the deck very often is stacked against poor people. No matter where you go in the world, this is invariably the case. It's an unfortunate reality, and I do have sympathy for anyone born into that predicament.

My sympathy starts to run a bit dry, however, when people conflate race and poverty into being one and the same thing. It creates a perpetual victim-hood mentality that is counter productive. It also serves to isolate whole communities, when their route out of poverty actually requires greater cohesion and connection with wider society.

Race baiting politicians in America, have a big chunk of the responsibility for causing the situation we now see in that country. Keep them poor, keep them isolated, tell them everyone hates them - they will eventually be convinced that it's true. And you can keep hoovering up all the easy votes.

Yeah, I think they're already at dismissal. Dropkick man could push it to sanctions for the prosecution.

Yup. And I think Binger has done it on purpose. There are just too many mistakes. He's an experienced prosecutor and he has prosecuted under this judge more than 40 times. He knows what he will and will not put up with and he's crossed the line in egregious ways several times.

He's also released a statement to say that he's not going to be releasing any statements to the press regardless of the outcome.

I think he knows he's taking an L one way or another, and at this point he'd rather the judge be the sole focus of the destructive, violent rage that could follow. If the judge declares a mistrial, Binger didn't technically fail to secure a jury prosecution.

No such thing as bad publicity. The idea being that you'll gain kudos even in association on an issue. Which may result in political gain or similar later down the line. So if you win a case but got a lot of lots of negative association, losing a case, with positive association will do the opposite.

After Rittenhouse is acquitted or the judge dismisses the trial with prejudice he should immediately bring lawsuits against many of the mainstream media for their deliberate and willful lies including defamation and slander for labeling him a white supremacist and domestic terrorist.

I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make here. I'd be very surprised if anyone thought that all Africans were black.

Isn't it a lot harder to argure a case like this in the appeal courts rather than now though?

As a matter of interest would Rittenhouse be placed in custody until that appeal is heard as well?

What are the defense playing at here? This is pure madness. They have all the cards here and are folding on a royal flush. Looking for mistrial without prejudice is crazy.

Not if the defense just found out the prosecution withheld evidence and then presented it in closing arguments.

Will there be a verdict today one way or another?

I try to tune into the live streams and watch chat but all I see is "GUILTY" and "INNOCENT" spammed a gazillion times a second.
