In medieval days, before there were secular dramas, there were roving bands of semi-professional actors performing morality plays. The plays were often short and sometimes even farcical. Plots were designed to encourage moral choices or illustrate Biblical stories. The audience was a mostly illiterate populace who paid for the entertainment with small change.
Today, we have criminal trials as national entertainment. They usually take days and too often devolve into farce, as did the Kenosha trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, fumbled by the prosecutors (looking so much like Laurel and Hardy) trying the 17-year-old hero for shooting two felons to death and wounding a third man during a days’ long riot, arson and looting. The rioting predictably followed the mayor’s ordering a standdown of police and rescue teams and the governor’s failure to order in the state National Guard. It’s impossible to choose the worst of the bumbling questions Kyle was asked, but perhaps my favorite was this, respecting the shooting in the arm of a Craig Grosskreutz who held a gun to his head: “All he had was a handgun. why did you think that was a threat?” I take it the prosecutor John Binder never had a gun held to his head. Had I, I certainly would have considered it life-threatening.
I think Rittenhouse has a made out a strong self-defense case. The governor may think so, too, because he has deployed the National Guard on to Kenosha in anticipation of a verdict.
Do you suppose Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers believes that those who think Rittenhouse should be acquitted will riot if he is not? Obviously not. Given the history of the riots,

I read a response to this on another site. It said, “To the Elites and the LSM, you can only defend yourself after you have been shot.”
Actually you can only defend yourself if THEY say so. I think the new rule is, Dems can defend themselves but Repubs are not allowed to.
The Prosecutors are not fumbling. They are directing the case exactly like they have planned. They are setting this up for failure to cause riots after the fact. They know it really doesn't matter how they present their case, the radical leftists are going to threaten to burn the world down if they don't get what they want. We are at the edge of war over this because leadership will not do the right thing.
These men want a mistrial declared because they know this judge can not be intimidated nor bulldozed, so they need another trial with a more sympathetic judge. They are going to work hard to avoid a mistrial "with prejudice" in order to achieve that goal. Do not underestimate them.
Spot on.
“And for Democrats, you can add what Glenn Reynolds calls “Democratic operatives with bylines.”
It should be called the Democrat media complex.
Clarice wades into the leftist insanity at the Rittenhouse trial.
I recommend always CCW anyway. If you have to use it to protect yourself or your family then maybe you then have to decide if you are going to trust the police who show up later. I do not recommend that by the way.
The ADA is reaching out to the one juror who is looking for an excuse to convict Kyle. With one holdout he gets a hung jury, and a mistrial.
The trial is distraction from the failure of the local and state government to do their job of protecting the city from rioters. It was all part of ginning up civil unrest by democrats in an election year. It’s a companion to covid and Trump impeachment. This was all about getting white whale Trump.
Now democrats want you to forget about the havoc they caused last year, and believe all the violence was from January 6 “rioters” and normal patriotic citizens - not the violent Bolsheviks that had free run of the streets for weeks last year.

That would be totally illegal. Do you have evidence of this?
All he had was a handgun. why did you think that was a threat?”
/\
That’s all that is needed to make one deady dead dead.
What a weasely moron.
I can smell the weasel through the internet
Why did you think that was a threat is an ambush question
If one answers
” cuz it’s a weapon”
is turned into
” well kyle, you had a weapon and the defendant saw you as a threat”
Total deflection from what made antifa a threat,
They had previously murdered a street preacher in Portland Oregon with a point blank shot to the head
Antifa/blm was burning and destroying and looting and assaulting Kenosha
Kyle was being chased and attempting a withdrawl/retreat from various aggressors armed with various weapons ranging from blunt objects to guns.
That was the threat
Firearms don’t pull triggers
People pull triggers
either in self defense or attack.
And it’s obvious which was which .
Sort of…the unstated premise is that libs have no problem with guns or using them to their achieve there ends. Their problem is that you can have them too. Presently they’re working hard to marginalize conservatives so at some future time they can murder them without recourse. It can happen here in America.
I liked when a witness was asked about his statement and the prosecutor said “I didn’t ask you to change anything, did I?”. The response was “Yes, actually, you did.” You could hear the prosecutor pucker a mile away! It’s the stuff lawyers have nightmares about.
I don’t get why they are upset. All the people he shot were white men.

I used to be a liberal Democrat?
So where do I stand?
Libs give me s**t I shut them down immediately.
I tell them “I used to be one of you so don’t try and bs me’’.
Conservatives are either unwilling or unable to understand how fragile the Lefts narrative really is.
Yes they have powerful allies, like the media and the courts but once you start hammering them on their agenda it all starts to fall apart.
Made a typo. “I used to be a Democrat?’’. Shouldn’t have put in the question mark.
No, you don't understand. He may not know who the juror is, and he is "reaching out" with his presentation of evidence.
The term is "interested juror".
