He shot them dead, but judge won't let them be called 'victims' (opinions)
CNN ^ | Oct 27, 2021 | Laura Coates

Posted on 10/28/2021 9:12:23 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

For a defendant to have a fair trial, there are loaded terms that should never be used in a courtroom.

The Wisconsin judge in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse is right about that.

But the word "victim" is not one of them.

And that's where the judge is very wrong.

Frankly, "victim" is no more pejorative than the word "defendant."....

But here's the rub. Two of the men are deceased, and the other has never been charged with a crime for any behavior associated with his participation in the protest.

At best, Rittenhouse, therefore, would be presenting evidence through speculation that their mere presence confirms criminal behavior entirely unrelated to a claim of self-defense. There is no allegation, and Rittenhouse has not claimed, that he was the owner of any property that was stolen or dwelling that was damaged. He merely states that he was patrolling the streets of Kenosha with an AR-15 out of a sense of civic duty.

"and the other has never been charged with a crime"

Exactly, why is this looter/attacker not being charged?

Kyle was the victim. He was defending himself. No way were the attackers “victims”.

The deceased were the perpetrators. Nobody refers to perps as vics.

Eventually CNN will call the Mexicans who stormed the Alamo “victims.”

They tried to kill the wrong young man and got dead and maimed for their attempted murder. Any questions?

If a woman killed a would-be rapist, CNN would want to label the rapist a “victim”.

Every one of them was chasing Kyle. One had a gun, another had a skateboard that he hit Kyle with. We don't really know what happened between the cars with Kyle and Rosenbaum but he's on film earlier that day being a typical ex-convict punk and he does have a record, albeit not related to that night. It was for rape or at least sexual assault of young boys.

Kyle is a patriot, and he is lucky to have a real judge.

Two insects exterminated. I feel badly for any decent people in their families, however.

The only thing they’re victims of is their own stupidity

Left wingers do.

About many things.

There’s a joke to that effect.

One day a guy got beat to a bloody pulp and left moaning and bleeding along the street.

As it just happened a sociologist and welfare worker were the first to come across the man.

“Oh, that’s terrible!” Lamented the welfare worker.

“Very!” agreed the sociologist, “We must find out who is responsible and get them treatment.”

There's a picture of rioter, child molester, and arsonist "Lefty" holding a handgun in his right hand. The picture was snapped the very instant he became henceforth known as "Lefty". Props to Kyle!

Yep, and those SS soldiers back in WW2 were “victims “ of white male American aggression.
