By the way, my Major says I’m better at handling a gun than Binger.
The prosecution loses.
CNN loses. As does the rest of the alphabet soup media.
Kyle wins.
America wins.
Justice wins.
Truth wins
As it should be. This kid was absolutely perfect in his use of force that night, only using it when he was in deadly peril, and holding back when he was not. I was in a similar situation at his age (see A Good Plan) and I did not stop using deadly force until I was literally dragged off my attacker. (In my defense I believed I was going to pass out in 90 seconds and wanted my assailant dead before then so he would not be able to knife me while I was unconscious.)
Watching this now. Thank you!
They can’t even say that the jury rushed their decision. Clearly they deliberated carefully and thoughtfully. Thank goodness!
Low bar, that.
Friday Afternoon: Every white supremacist who went to Kenosha with plans to riot should Rittenhouse be found guilty now climbs into Rudy “Bubba” Thompson’s blue Ford F150 pickup truck. One, Rudy, gets behind the wheel. His kid brother, Steve, calls out “shotgun.” They both chuckle, because it’s just the two of them. Heading south, they drive through the only McDonald’s that wasn’t burned by BLM months ago.
My son, a Major, taught me, a Granny, to handle a gun … properly. Binger should be brought up on weapons charges.
They just replayed the reading of the verdict. Got me in the feels watching it sink into Kyle as the verdict are read out one by one. Epic.
This trial has been living proof that we need to keep tv cameras out of the courtroom. The fact that this jury came up with a reasonable verdict is just short of a miracle if you consider the overwhelming publicity it generated from all sorts of televised “arm-chair quarterbacks” second guessing every facet of the proceedings to audiences all over the world.
Been watching all week. He had more people watching than almost all of the mainstream channels.
The plan is progressing nicely…
I appreciated being able to watch the proceedings with my own two eyes instead of relying on second hand retellings. It’s not like the trial wouldn’t have been misrepresented and the Judge’s rulings second guessed had it not been filmed.
Was driving by Kenosha last night on way home from work, was wondering if the verdict was going to come down while I passed the exit.
My Son who is in the WI National Guard, did get a text but hasn’t been activated. Would like to know the ROE and to know if they are actually armed of if this fool Governor is planning on allowing them to be camouflage targets & punching bags.
I agree, and this goes with my previous post on the Rekieta Law stream. The state/corporate media should not have a monopoly on information. The fact that so many independent journalists/observers gained huge followings over the past few years covering things like this red-pilled an awful lot of people. And that’s a very good thing.
The ROE for the Forces of Nice is that they should each be willing to take one for the other team.
I think it’s best to leave it up to the discretion of the judge and local practice. It’s not at all clear that one way is always right for all time.
Don’t overestimate Merrick.
By which I assume you mean that the DoJ is now free to swoop in and start telling Kenosha that it’s a class-1 hate zone, worthy of federal occupation?
Federal charges?
Right?!?!?
Fortunately, the victims weren’t black. So it’s hard to describe as a “Civil Rights violation” which is how they ‘d play it otherwise.
Lord, please make ‘Morning’ Joe’s wallet a LOT lighter, and soon!
I’m glad that the kid was acquitted and that the lying media were shown up again. But he’s no hero.He should have been at home doing his homework.
Thank God- this was obvious to anyone watching the trial. Massive overcharge and a completely obvious case of self defense.
The prosecutors should be disbarred(?) and the media should be sued into oblivion.
Super! Now he needs to sue Biden and someone needs to file charges against the prosecution team. They tried to frame an innocent man.
Wondered how long it would take for leftist pond scum to start complaining about the legal system.
It could get a bit dicey out there. Stay home if you can. If not keep your eyes open and always have a plan to exit a situation.
I don’t know the law but it seems to me it should be more than just a censure. What he did seems outright criminal to me. But I’m no lier I’m, I mean lawyer.
I think see what you are saying but on the balance I tend towards disagreeing because:
Also, I think people should be able to see what is going. I saw a few people on twitter say: “If this is what they are doing when the case is televised, imagine what the prosecution does when it isn’t” and I think there is something to that.
Along the way Kyle managed to red pill a few people who watched the trial and realized the media was feeding them a lot of bull. Even better.
