This correspondent has reported extensively on the Kyle Rittenhouse incident and trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin, for AmmoLand News, with over two dozen articles in the last 14 months.
Very early on I explained there was no murder case, no criminal reckless endangerment, and no firearms charge which was consistent with the law.
Repeatedly, the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Binger, informed the court the firearms charge was based on what the prosecution believed the law had to be, rather than on what the law was.
It is a microcosm of the left. Decisions are made on what the left believes reality *should be* rather than what reality *is*.
The firearms charge was important to lend the air of illegality to what was obviously legal and ethical self-defense. The case should never have been brought. The performance of the prosecutors during the trial confirmed the prosecution was done for political purposes rather than to bring justice.
The job of a prosecutor is to pursue justice. It is not to obtain successful prosecutions.
Six (6) charges were brought against Kyle Rittenhouse less than 48 hours after the self-defense shootings occurred. Wisconsin does not require indictments by a grand jury. Charges are commonly brought exclusively by prosecutors.
Kyle Rittenhouse tried to turn himself into the police within minutes of the events. He later successfully turned himself in to the police about an hour after the events. This was characterized in the media as “being arrested” or “being taken into custody” rather than the factual “turning himself in to the police”.
A seventh (7) charge, of violating curfew, was added to the first six charges, in late December 2020, months after the events

Kyle Rittenhouse as the not guilty verdicts were read.

REALITY CHECK the left believes only what reality *should be* rather than what reality *is*.
Jusssie Smollett figured it’d be easy....a game anyone can play.....
siccing the leftwing victimization industry on America.
It needs to be radically pushed that because he was declaimed “not guilty” of his crimes means that he acted appropriatly when he was attacked. The people he shot and killed were doing things (trying to injure or kill him) that constituted an appropriate response with deadly force that Kyle was forced to resort to. The only thing different that would be if Kyle did not act in self defense or have a firearm on his person for his own protection, is that Kyle would be dead right now instead of the criminals who tried to hurt him. This crap is about as FUBAR as you can get, using the established laws to try an justify looting and wanton violence.

How many of the people that Kyle shot that night were balck? SO, what is the correlation to race in this incident with CRT?
/done for now
The goal of CRT is nothing less than the destruction of Western Civilization, the rule of law, the reliance on objective thought, logic, and equality before the law.
This is why Kyle Rittenhouse was prosecuted. It was not that Kyle violated the law. It was because he followed the law. It was because he opposed the violent overthrow of Western Civilization, the Constitution, property rights, the rule of law, and the Bill of Rights.
The DA was attempting to nullify the jury with fear tactics including pointing a rifle at people with his finger on the trigger. If I was on the jury at that point, I would have hit the floor and probably caused a mistrial. He needs to be disbarred.
Good one Liz
Maybe this is the path back to sanity: let them use CRT to judge every thing and every one, but keep it distinct and isolated from court rooms and policing.
I can see the headlines:
“Racist Cops Reduce Black on Black Murder Rate by the Racist Math Calculation of 83% in Occupied Land of Minneapolis, MN”
or
“White Supremacy Victim of Structural Racism to Serve Two Life Terms for Rape and Murder of 84 Year Old White Supremacist Asian Woman.”
Yeah, that sh!t ought to be illegal.
