A big issue that could be in play is that the prosecutors withheld drone footage that's in HD and much clearer showing that Rittenhouse didn't aim his rifle at the Ziminsky's. The footage wasn't provided to the defense until Saturday after both sides had rested. edit: misspelled ziminsky You were right and I was wrong about the mistrial motion. When I am wrong, I don't mind saying so. Usually, in a trial court, the judge rules on all motions to terminate the trial before he allows deliberations to begin. This judge decided that since part of the motion was made after all parties had closed, that he would allow the jury to reach a verdict and only rule on the mistrial if a guilty verdict is returned. That could mean that he is planning to grant the motion and just as easily could mean that he doesn't have any plans to do so. Its hard to tell.

Whatever you think of this judge he was right to boot them out when it became clear that he was doing this at NBC's behest. He has to protect the trial.

I think the jury got it right by law. I have 2 concerns though. 1. There are a lot of absolute idiots out there that do not understand the nuances of self-defense and the how and why of this verdict. Afraid this could encourage more people to think vigilantism is OK. 2. I hope Rittenhouse does not get sucked into the seductive alt-right community that is making a hard sell for him right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely. Everyone needs to keep in mind that the fact that the state didn't prove its case does not mean that doing the things that Rittenhouse did makes him some kind of hero. He had no business being there waiving around an AR-15. That is not what we want to normalize as acceptable behavior any more than setting cars on fire and looting businesses in the name of protesting. We cannot accept violence from any side of a debate. Being a vigilante will result in that person forfeiting the remainder of their lives in most circumstances. If this jury had believed that he was being a vigilante, they would have convicted him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact of the matter is that the Gov of Wisconsin, a Democrat, should have called up the Wisconsin National Guard to insure order after the Blake shooting. Remember Trump was President at that time and the Democrats thought the protests/riots were a good thing to keep Trump from getting re-elected. The shootings involving Rittenhouse happened on the third night of protests/riots and if the Guard had been involved there would have been no need for citizens to get involved in protecting businesses. Something like 20 vehicles had been burned the first two nights at that car lot. I find it strange, now that Trump is no longer President, that Gov Evers has mobilized 500 Wisconsin Guard troops to make sure nothing crazy happens after the verdict. If he had done that after the Jacob Blake shooting, two rioters would still be alive and Gabe G. would not be missing a bicep. Your characterization that he was waiving around an AR-15 is laughable. He retreated every chance and only used force when his retreat was blocked or he got knocked to the ground. It takes an unbelievably stupid human to attack someone with an AR-15 strapped to his chest anyway. Of course, the people doing the attacking were in that location lighting dumpsters on fire to try and damage the car dealership to begin with so some judgement could be made about their mental faculties from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
