Watch: Chris Cuomo Rips Into Rittenhouse Defense Arguments on Live TV
On Wednesday night, the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse had not yet concluded. That didn’t stop leftist news anchor Chris Cuomo from reaching his own verdict and sharing it with his audience.
“Was the threat that he faced something that made using deadly force reasonable?” Cuomo said on CNN. “That last part is gonna be a problem, I’m telling you. Self-defense in Wisconsin is about imminent threat. You have to fear, to use deadly force, that someone is gonna really hurt you, serious bodily injury or death.”
Cuomo was not there on that night, and his name is not Kyle Rittenhouse. As such, he really has no way to know whether Rittenhouse had that fear.
According to Rittenhouse himself, he did have that fear. Rittenhouse also provided evidence as to why he had that fear, such as men reaching for his gun and threatening to kill him before he made the decision to use deadly force.
“Is someone trying to take your gun … if that’s what even was happening, was it reasonable to believe that that may happen?” Cuomo said. “That’s the standard to use deadly force in Wisconsin.”

Is a gun to the head not an imminent threat let alone a long skateboard to the head?

Either one is deserving of a one-way ticket to eternity. More people need to be armed and we need to fight like hell to make sure they are and to stop those who want to take them away!
This guy is such an incredible moron:
“You have to fear to use deadly force, that someone is going to really hurt you”
Uh, yeah having a handgun pointed at you tends to do that Chris.
Think of what could have been had Fredo sat for the bar examination 4 or 5 times or whatever it might have taken him to pass, if at all. Just imagine.
They are mad to learn that ain't so, and seek to regain the upper hand.

Maybe he should get Alec Baldwin on for some deep background.......................
Kill a Commie for mommy was and remains wisdom,
Didn’t this asshat threaten to kill someone who called him “Fredo”?? He did, he threatened to throw the person down the stairs. Hey Chris, is THAT “reasonable”?
Actually, the two people he killed each had their hands ON the gun.
The term of art is "reasonable apprehension"/"reasonably apprehend". Fear is a loose synonym, but it is not necessary to be afraid. It is sufficient to believe that absent the defense someone might be harmed. Maybe it's just as well he didn't take the bar.
They are trying to make us into a victim culture, like the UK is.
The Left is on the side of domestic-terrorist mobs of rioters and looters.

Note to Leftist clown posse. White guy shot 3 white guys. There is no “racial overtones” here
It’s not him in particular. It’s all of us. Like Trump said - they’re not after me. They’re after you I’m just in the way.
I’d like to point out that libs have no issues with guns or using them on other people. Their problem is you can have them too. This tail of this case showcases that perfectly!
I wouldn’t watch Cuomo if he committed hari kari on set. Well maybe then...
How the F does Fredo still have a job after colluding with his brother the sex offender?
Again, Marxists want a Revolution. Kyle Rittenhouse is on the other side.
