Kevin Matheson does some great reporting from Kenosha.

This, and Zimmerman. Critical self-defence cases.

They did their job and did a good one, with a political hot potato case that NEVER should have been brought.

The only one without any honor is the prosecutor, who tried to twist self-defense into a crime.

I enjoyed this reporting. Nearly made me cry, thinking about how just normalcy is starting to seem out of the ordinary, how far we’ve fallen.

Earlier today I found a video on youtube of a pretrial conference in this case. it was held to determine if Kyle's bond should be revoked because of a rule he had violated.

It was one of the zoom things which about a dozen people,including the father of one of the dead punks.

Long story short...when the judge decided that Kyle could remain free the father of the dead punk flipped off the judge.

More proof that the acorn doesn't fall from the tree.

It doesn't always work that way. The cop involved in Saint George Floyd incident will die in prison. Yes,he may well deserve to spend some time in jail...but not 40 years.

You're right. It certainly can't be relied upon when jurors reasonably believe they might be killed by a leftist mob if they deliver the wrong verdict. If a retrial in a different venue is possible for Chauvin, I hope he gets one.

OK...Just found this:

After public outcry, the memorial plan for Anthony Huber, the victim of Kyle Rittenhouse, was canceled. April 29, 2022

Me too. But then we got the J6 prisoners.

One of the things that most folks won’t think about, is that
Kyle never focused on one person from a distance, and then
ran up to them and fired.

He was approached by numerous people. They were trying to
harm him. He reacted.

Reacting to a threat is not against the law.

We also have to remember that the mindset of Leftist youth
is that they can never be wrong. “Don’t let them tell you,
you are wrong.” WRONG!

These kids weren’t messing with one Conservative they
outnumbered and was defenseless. They tried to swarm
him and they reaped the whirlwind.

Kenosha County Eye Speaks With Rittenhouse Juror – “This Case Renewed My Faith In The Judicial System”

Not me. Courts are crap and jurors are crap. All too often they render ridiculous decisions that are completely disconnected from reality. (George Floyd and the Ahmed Arbery cases.)

What the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict demonstrates is that "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile."

Trial by jury defeated the leftist lie machine.

Not in the Derick Chauvin case, or the McMichaels case.

Look at all the January 6 political prisoners getting convicted in DC.

Modern juries are often stupid and irrational and I am no longer certain that long ago juries did any better.

The courts are a crap shoot.
