That’s what I said about the BLUR image now central to show ‘provocation’ in Kyle’s case.

Just put up something and let the jurors fill in their own version of reality based on their own personal prejudices.

And the judge in the case allowed that ‘evidence’ in...

Clearest case of self defense and it is all on video.

They want to make self defense illegal.

They want to make self defense illegal.

That is what it appears to be now, a concerted effort to make it where anyone being attacked by their criminal leftist mobs may NOT defend themselves. In other words, STAY HOME and let OUR thugs tear everything apart so we can get what we want.

“They want to make self defense illegal.”

Ultimately, yes. But their immediate goal is to make self defense with a firearm illegal; the rest will come later.

Whatever does or does not happen with this trial will not only not deter me but will embolden me all the more to defend myself with whatever assets I have at my disposal.

At the end of the day, it is still better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I am beginning to think the jury doesnt want to reach a verdict.

Or at least some in the jury. Scared of their own shadow.

Or, they might be waiting the mob out, outside the court. Let em all stew and when they finally get sick and tired of waiting and go away, then announce the verdict.

If that be the case, I would announce to deliberate at 5AM and give the verdict then. The lazy worthless BLM/ANTIFA punks are to lazy to get up that early in the morning.

I used this analogy with Ferguson and the Minneapolis cases and it is very true.

Both sides of the political spectrum often react with a Pavlovian reflexive response to any story. The left wants to protect their rioters to preserve a narrative and they dislike the concept of self-defense because it is not controlled by the state.

The right abhors the anarchy of the riots and wants law and order so they see nothing wrong with a 17 year old doing what the authorities refused to do (protect property and preserve order).

This is why we can no longer have a civil conversation. There is very little common ground to be found with those who disagree with us because we have different goals and bedrock principles.

The left cares only about the narrative. It is the warped logic that can label a candidate of color as a “white supremacist” or a riot full of arson, assaults, looting, and millions in damage as “mostly peaceful”.

If they believe in stupidity like that how can we find agreement?

The crowds outside are going to be in a full on brawl the longer it drags on, atleast that is the impression I get from Fox’ webpage.

The job of this jury is to decide the rules of engagement for Civil War II.

Everything is symbolic of something else. Nothing is just what it is. This trial is about the left’s passion to take guns from non-violent people and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.

They don’t want you to have the right to defend yourself from their favored people.

Commmies are testing the waters... their message: If commies ‘pet victim groups’ want to burn down your cities STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY OR YOU’LL BE SITTING IN A COURT HOUSE WHILE COMMIE ‘ELITES’ DESTROY YOUR LIFE.

Stick it to ‘em...

Wait until they find out the mistrial was caused by MSNBC.

Best that Kyle can hope for.
The bad news is that a hung jury means a mistrial without prejudices. The judge needs to preempt the jury, but he won’t do that.
