On 11 February 2021, there was a hearing requested by the Kenosha District Attorney’s office in the self-defense case involving Kyle Rittenhouse. The shooting occurred during the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on 25 August 2020. Judge Schroeder of Kenosha presided over the virtual hearing, which was done on Zoom. The hearing was contentious. Judge Schroeder schooled DA Thomas Binger on the law, bond procedure, and the facts several times during the hearing. In the end, the judge denied Binger’s requests and forbade the DA’s office from accessing the location of Kyle Rittenhouse’s abode.
There exists an extensive video of the riots and the shootings, online from several perspectives. The video shows Kyle Rittenhouse running from the mob and shooting armed attackers in self-defense.
The prosecution of Rittenhouse appears to be political in nature, including at least one charge which appears to be contradicted by statute.
DA Thomas Binger from Kenosha started off the hearing, characterizing Rittenhouse as dangerous, irresponsible, and violating the terms of his bond.
DA Thomas Binger was brought up short by Judge Bruce E. Schroeder, who showed the DA was aware of the issue of where Rittenhouse was staying on the original bond, had the opportunity to request limitations on where Rittenhouse would stay, had not asked for limitations, and no limitations were imposed by the judge. Judge Schroeder explained to DA Binger the difference between a place of abode and an address for receiving notification of court hearings.
Judge Schroeder made clear his policy that people involved in incidents before the court would not be referred to as “victims”

If you are following the Kyle Rittenhouse case, it is well worth your time to watch the entire hearing, which is about 52 minutes long.
If you are not going to watch the hearing, the article is a good description of it, and can be read in a much shorter period of time than 52 minutes.
The transcript is a bit easier to follow than the video, but misses many subtle things such as tone and non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions.
The DA should have been asked why Gaige Grosskreutz, a felon in possession of a handgun, was not being charged.
Also, Huber’s dad flips the judge off during the stream and nothing is done.
If the judge is willing to pull back the DA, he sounds like a good judge. It doesn’t mean that Rittenhouse is out of hit water,but he will get a fair trial.
With all this legal effort and time being used it still comes down to the government arguing that you don’t have a right to protect yourself from a “mob” that is threatening you even if they are trying to harm you.
The “mob” was the right sort of “mob”, but in the wrong sort of “mob” you may shoot to kill even if your target is on the other side of a door.
The article rebuts numerous junk conservative media reports on FR and elsewhere leading readers to believe that the defendant is an unstable bail skipper.
I thought the left hated lynch mobs?
“I thought the left hated lynch mobs?”
Not when they’re their lynch mobs.

I hope the Black Rifle Coffee company sees this.
Lynch mobs in American history have generally been Democrats.

Thanks for posting this.
The judge probably didn’t see it in real time. Hopefully he does and deals with it.
The Judge seems to be pretty straight and direct, and looks to be following the actual law, Still not sure why he didn’t find the DA in Contempt of Court and Sanctioned Him?? He should have got a $10,000 fine for Abuse of Process and JAILED for 10 days.,
The other father was civil, knew he was in a courtroom...but his female Attorney drew the race card and that badly...and for what purpose..there was none.
The DA talked too much, argued unnecessarily, took up space. He strikes me as one looking for notoriety from this case.
Liked the Judge...wasn't going to go off into tangents. Understood what needed to be said and addressed or not.
Thanks for posting the video..
You correctly used they’re and their in a single sentence. A historic first.
Notice the Judge pauses when he was flipped off. The dad is grieving so I believe the Judge gave him slack.
It is quite obvious the DA wants Kyle’s physical location so he can unleash the LEFTIST dogs on him.
Country is going to be in trouble when DA’s like that start to become our judges in 10-20 years !!!
