Thomas Binger, lead attorney in the floundering prosecution against Kyle Rittenhouse, during closing arguments Monday aimed an AR-15 at people in the courtroom with his finger on the trigger.
“That is what provokes this entire incident,” Binger told jurors at some point during his gun-waving close. “When the defendant provokes this incident, he loses the right to self-defense. You cannot claim self-defense against a danger you create.”
No, dumbass, foolhardy idiots waving around weapons without trigger discipline is how you get innocent people killed on accident.
It was just a few weeks ago that Alec Baldwin killed a woman doing almost the exact same thing with a weapon he didn’t know (because he didn’t check) was loaded.

Interesting. Voter fraud has been proved in the last presidential election. But the usual suspects are still treating it as delusion. Obviousely the man is completely ignorant of firearms safety.
If he wanted to do this properly, he could have removed the bolt from the rifle (very EZ on an AR) or at minimum locked the bolt open.
He could have put one of those rubber safety flags in the action.

Actually, the instinct against pointing a gun at another human being is so strong in a normal person that it would take a real effort of will to do it. But Binger apparently is oblivious to the most basic principles of safety. The world is a safer place with a gun in Kyle Rittenhouse’s hands than in Thomas Binger’s.

Did he clear it or just assume it was not loaded? It would have been hilarious if a juror had dove under their chair!!

What a nut job. Who let him do that??? Should be disbarred. Not only that but he should be arrested for contempt of court. And the case should be dismissed with prejudice.

No trigger lock, no bcg block, no zip tie through ejection port, and finger on the trigger. I bet $1000 that rat excrement didn’t clear the weapon, much less demonstrate it was clear to the people he recklessly endangered. The Bailiff should have tackled that ahole and taken the weapon away.

I predict this stunt will provoke a mistrial with prejudice.

I saw a tweet saying he’s had NO firearms training, ever.
