One of the Big Lies In the Kyle Rittenhouse Case
townhall.com ^ | 10/27/2021 | Julio Rosas

Posted on 10/28/2021 7:15:10 AM PDT by rktman

Kyle Rittenhouse's trial is set to start on November 1 and the charges range from murder to attempted murder for his role in killing two people and injuring another with an AR-15 during the Kenosha riots.

But if you've only paid attention to liberals and the mainstream media about the case, you would be left with the impression Rittenhouse shot the men during a "protest." As someone who was on the ground in Kenosha on August 24, 25, and 26 last year, this could not be further from the truth.

The reason why it is important to make the distinction is because the "protest" narrative is used to paint Rittenhouse as someone who was only there to shoot random people at the "protest" when, in reality, Kenosha was experiencing another night of riots in the aftermath of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, which both Wisconsin and federal prosecutors decline to file charges since Officer Rusten Sheskey could make a strong argument for self-defense. The multiple riots in Kenosha are the reason why armed people were in town in the first place.

Just one? And to think, if this had happened in chiraq, it could simply have been dismissed at "mutual combat".

The SA should be disbarred for this travesty.

We know it. The judge knows it which is why he's allowing them to be called arsonists etc. I'm sure the defense will remind the jury, not that they could forget. That's all that matters.

I just got this this morning. An exchange between the prosecutor and the judge:

Prosecutor: “If there were any evidence in this case that Mr. Rosenbaum physically attacked anyone else that night, chased anyone else that night...we can talk about that. But I don’t hear any evidence to that effect. All we’re talking about is arson...”

Judge: “I can’t believe some of the things you’re saying. All we’re talking about is arson? C’mon!”

“All we are talking about is arson.”

“Then why hasn’t he been charged with arson, Mr. Prosecutor?”

Save this thread off-line!

You'll want it after Kyle is cleared.

It’s just arson. What’s next, jaywalking? Sheesh! /s

There is an excellent summary of some of the pre-trial discussions here:

The prosecutor is clearly pounding the table and the judge is calling him on it.

Still and alas emotion may count more than the law and commonsense.

Then there’s the small matter of the Felon In Possession of a Firearm thingy.

No charges for that either.

I never liked Manchin because of his Manchin-Toomey background check bill, but I can’t argue with his recent actions.

The people who are lying know they are lying.

Don’t argue or complain, just put them on your target list.

The Milo Fund LLC d/b/a “FreeKyleUSA” is a legal defense fund established by Wendy Rittenhouse.

I think it's legit?

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffcm&q=The+Milo+Fund+LLC

There are some articles mentioning the LLC raising money for Kyle and having been set up by Wendy but it also brings up LLC at 4850 East Creek Ridge Trail, Reno, NV 89519.

A search for that address, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=4850+East+Creek+Ridge+Trail%2C+Reno%2C+NV+89519.&t=ffcm&atb=v1-1&ia=maps" brings up. https://voterrecords.com/voter/73925980/madison-latham-kapitz?__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=pmd_8na_2cENSWM.DVZGRU0Rnyj4kSrhIhfiAT1NwhwZT58-1635431368-0-gqNtZGzNAxCjcnBszQhR

Madison Latham-Kapitz (age 26) is listed at 4840 E Creek Ridge Trl Reno, Nv 89519 and is affiliated with the Democratic Party. Madison is registered to vote in Washoe County, Nevada.

Here's the house at that address; https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4850-E-Creek-Ridge-Trl-Reno-NV-89519/7336591_zpid/

So the question is, why did Wendy of Wisconsin start an LLC in Nevada with the business address being a 26 year old democrat voter? An LLC is easy to start anywhere though I do know there are certain protections from using NV. Articles about the LLC all have tweets from a dedicated MILO LLC twitter account. I'd prefer to see something on Wendy Rittenhouse's twitter if she has one or a video of her saying she set it up or something. This is all just a bunch of stuff on the web so there's no way to tell what's legit, including what I found.

https://news.yahoo.com/rittenhouse-legal-team-says-nearly-002500525.html

The twitter account; https://twitter.com/freekyleusa/

The type of things being posted by that twitter account would not be tolerated by the judge if the LLC was indeed started by Kyle's mom imho.

only in a liberals mind can the rioters be considered protesters, and the protesters in January in funny hats taking selfies be considered insurectionists!

I am going to go back to the page I originally contributed on, I believe it was a Christian organization, not that reprehensible “GoFundMe” piece of crap.

Hm. The site I was thinking of was here: GiveSendGo.com for Kyle Rittenhouse

But there are only 18 people on there, and my name isn't there. Pretty sure that is where I went, although I wonder if that was where I donated to Gen. Flynn, though there isn't one set up there.

Hm. That link I gave clearly isn't his defense fund. It says this when you read further down:

"...Wendy has no source of income and badly needs your help. This community rallied to support the effort to post bail for Kyle. I am hopeful we can come together again to show Wendy that millions of Americans stand behind Wendy and Kyle. Your kind contributions will assist Wendy with living expenses such as food, rent, and health care for her children. Thank you and God bless..."

That would explain it...it must have been a different one I donated to. This is a different one.
