Heroes and Zeros: The Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict
American Thinker.com ^ | November 21, 2021 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 11/21/2021 3:07:19 AM PST by Kaslin

For 85 minutes on Friday, we held our breath as America’s-not-Sweetheart Kamala Harris was acting president while Joe Biden was anesthetized for a colonoscopy. Near in time, a 12-member panel of jurors in Kenosha, Wisconsin ignored threats shouted on the courtroom steps to find Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty of all the charges against him.

The judge and defense counsel bravely labored on, ignoring the many death threats against them. Kyle was brave to defend himself during the riot and at the trial where the prosecution engaged in numerous unethical acts, not the least of which was charging him with crimes for which they lacked any reasonable scintilla of evidence. Videos, most taken by amateurs at the scene of the rioting, revealed that he had defended himself against three thugs with long criminal records who had physically threatened him, like hyenas charging the smallest gazelle in the herd. The conclusion was solidly based on the facts and law in a distressing world where mobs think they, not reason, fact, or law, should rule the day. They have been given leeway by Democratic leaders to think that way.

In the strikingly pusillanimous ranks were the governor of Wisconsin and the usual Democratic pols, including the president and vice-president.

... Joe Biden was anesthetized for a colonoscopy.

I wonder if Ol' Splatterpants spoke up and replied, "I hope you are all Democrats."

I would suggest that the proposed Kyle’s law also include severe a penalty for people who threaten the life of judges or jurors during a trial in order to sway their decisions.

The sole highlight of the Harris Administration was the full acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.

“...And stop treating thugs like Blake and Rosenbaum, Huber and Grosskreutz, as victims. If they are victims at all they are victims of [the Wisconsin governor’s and other officials’]
indulgence of [these “victims”] transgressive, illegal behavior.”

This counterpoint is starting to emerge, finally.

We have a very serious problem in this country. Here is a non-racial, self-defense legal case - completely hijacked to foment “systemic racism” and the media’s complicity, lies, and irresponsibility in driving this for further crimes and pitting people against each other. And we have millions of people who believe these lies, since there is no noticeable consequence to what the media destruction. What is worse than the millions of citizens believing these lies, is having elected officials, universities, schools, and companies promoting them as truth, and more.

Don’t think they would be able to distinguish between his brain and what regularly passes there.

Regarding the proposed “Kyle’s Law”, I like the idea, except for the part where the state pays damages/compensation. All that does is allow the state to continue engaging in wrongful prosecutions (using our taxes to fund it), and any damages they end up having to pay would also come from our taxes. That would be just like all the cases where governments (or more often, stupid/corrupt cops) are successfully sued, but it is the taxpayers who pay the damages, not the miscreant government hacks who actually committed the offense. The part about making weasels like Binger pay out of his own pocket is good though.

The real hero, much as I admire KR, is the judge.

He upheld the law, a rare thing in the US right now. He also slapped down some outrageous behavior by the prosecutors.

What I want now is for that lying Ahole 3rd guy shot (I refuse to remember his name) to get charged and convicted for perjury — after testifying he went on CNN and said that it was all a lie.
That this loser’s shot at a civil charge and $$$ is ruined, it a bit of cake icing.
