KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Prosecutors on Thursday charged a 17-year-old from Illinois in the fatal shooting of two protesters and the wounding of a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a night of unrest following the weekend police shooting of Jacob Blake.

Kyle Rittenhouse faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide, one count of first-degree reckless homicide, one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment. He would face a mandatory life sentence if convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, the most serious crime in Wisconsin.

That there are NO national news items about “active shooters” when the Leftists are popping off shots and shooting people at these “mostly peaceful” riots says all you need to hear about the gun coverage in the MSM.

Now comes the really sick part. Rittenhouse will probably be offered some sort of deal, maybe 10 years for negligent homicide.

Then what to do? Go to trial and risk a mandatory life sentence? I hope his lawyers really have a feel for how Wisconsin juries look at things.

“Any fair jury that views the video would have to see it was self defense.”

The charges will be dropped or dismissed long before a trial.

I’m a betting man. And unless Rittenhouse takes a plea, I’ll bet this case goes to a jury. Because Rittenhouse‘s trial would be a political trial as much as a criminal trial.

And Leftists just love their political (show) trials.

Had the shooting occurred in Trump country, I’d think differently.

These charges are completely inappropriate. If you are a prosecutor on this case, you have a moral duty to resign your post and refuse to prosecute. If you are a judge, you have a moral duty to dismiss the case. If you are a juror, you have a moral duty to acquit. This is not a ‘marginal’ case where reasonable people might disagree - this is clear-cut self-defense.

First-degree murder is an outrageous accusation here.

If he had simply set a building on fire that had people trapped inside, he would have already been released
