“Every day an OJ juror looks back knowing they did wrong.”

Which one?

If the National Guard had been called in during the riots, Rittenhouse never would have had to try to protect the community that was under siege.

“The Left doesn’t want to punish Rittenhouse for murder. It wants to prevent others from standing up to future mobs to protect themselves. The Left rules with fear and the threat of mob action is its most potent weapon. If Americans know they can legally protect themselves from the mob, the mob will lose its power. That’s why Rittenhouse’s example is so powerful and why the Left is so angry at him. History warns that whether the costume is bolshevik red or fascist black, the mob is the vanguard of tyranny. Denying the threat of the mob cannot be separated from the prevention of tyranny.”


Ditto for the McCloskeys in Missouri - the Left went after them BECAUSE they defended themselves, and what that means for others similarly situated.

What is going to be the most ironic thing of all is that if Rittenhouse is (properly, IMHO) acquitted, that Kenosha (and other cities and towns) will likely burn and there will be a great deal of mob violence...proving the point that we NEED to have an effective semi-auto rifle for self-defense.

The US military, National Guard, Police number about 2,500,000 men.
VS.
20,000,000 civilian semi-auto rifle owners, and maybe 75 million other firearm owners, and over 400,000,000 firearms out there. 250,000,000 high cap magazines in private hands.

And the government thinks they can “regulate” that?

Shotgun skip shooting can be used rather than just offing the vermin. That way they are hospitalized AND prosecuted.

the verdict will be in shortly after lunch... and what a lunch. they new they were ready when they entered the room, but wanted to get a good meal, probably from Red Lobster, with desserts and mocktails. look for a decision about 2 pm

We know lunch isn't Chinese food, or the judge would have commented on it ... and the far left would have freaked out again.

The prosecution (the Kenosha DA’s office is Dem, BTW) is not making such a big deal of this case because of the deaths of three slimeballs (and, yes, what we know about them does allow such a label); rather, it is ALL about gun control and banning semi-auto “assault weapons.” That is why the prosecution always referred to the gun as an AR-15, when in fact it was a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 (small difference, in reality, but the term AR-15 gets the attention of the gun-banners).

“The prosecutor did not charge a known felon for illegal possession of a firearm, but charged Rittenhouse because he shot the known and armed felon.”

Hell, the prosecutor didn’t charge Ziminski (or however the hell his name is spelled) for firing his handgun, which was what started the whole damned scenario in motion. Nope, no charges for that; but, hey, charging him with petty arson is what the DA’s office did. Think Ziminski was “bought off” with that leniency? Enquiring minds want to know.

Someone defined this as ‘anarcho tyranny’ for me.

“You don’t need an AR-15,” U.S. News and World Report told readers just three and a half years ago.

The need argument is the flimsiest of all. If someone is going to start telling me - us - what we need and don't need, that works both ways. Does every two-bit pol need a multi-SUV motorcade? Does Pelosi need to fly home every weekend in a government provided 767? And so on...

It would give ANTIFA and BLM unlimited power to harass and beat whomever they please.
