Kyle Rittenhouse Trial - Day 10 - Closing Arguments
PBS NEWS ^ | 11/15/2021 | pilgrimsprogress

Posted on 11/15/2021 6:54:20 AM PST by Pilgrim's Progress

Both sides have rested their case and they proceed to try to convince the jury that their client is either guilty as charged (including lesser offenses) or Not Guilty by reason of self-defense.

So far, my favorite line from the trial came from the prosecution:

ADA Binger: "Mr. Rittenhouse, you play Call of Duty, right? Isn't the goal of that game to kill everyone in sight?"

KYLE: "Well, yea, but it is a game . . . it isn't reality."

I went from being apoplectic listening to this joker’s summation to finding it hilarious.

Still angry here. He is making a lot of points for any predisposed juror to glomb onto, which, of course, is his intent. I really, really hope the defense nips this snow job in the bud.

I’m watching on Court TV. I’m wondering why the sound cuts out every time the prosecutor shows a video. Also the video is not shown on the TV. What’s up with that?! Is anyone watching on CNN etc having this problem?

How much more time does binger have to speak?

He should be over soon or they'll have to deal with 12 suicides.

I am convinced this prosecutor is Adam Schiff’s brother.

Binger says fear is not a justification for self defense. That’s a crock.

So, all you are sharing are your irrelevant feelings? Yeah, that’s less than useless in the discussion of a criminal trial, but hey, you do you. You sure seem to like the attention.

Just the jury?
What about those of us listening to this tripe.

Thank you sir for the intelligent sort of discussion I was hoping for.

Allow me to make clear that I am not against KR. I frankly think he’s a fine young man and he meant well.

But to get intelligent people to join me in my concerns, however wrong I may be, I questioned a young kid joining a raging group of rioters although I know he was trying to find a buddy.

I just wish he hadn’t and I will say it again so that all the stupid posters can gather up their insults.....I do not think he will get off free.

Two people are dead.

That’s not going to go free.

But I hope I am wrong.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you may not have realized how important what you asked really was when considering this case. This will set precedent for future self defense cases. Too big, Why do it? Narratives like this are exactly what they want folks to think so that they can set unconstitutional precedent.

Maybe you do not realize it. But you shared liberal brainwashing narratives that no one has the right to protect their property, or call friends and family to help protect property when the authorities will not, or defend their own person with such a BIG gun. All of these are directly related to Constitutional rights.

And if allowed to prevail, will influence self defense cases from now on and redefine and limit in detail what rights the accused may or not have in the future.

His charging the defendant within 48 hours before he even had all the facts showed him to be a joke.

you’re making a fool of yourself. no one owes you in joining you in agreement. you can see from the responses so far that pretty much no one agrees with you. You’ve done no due diligence on this case and all you want to do is wallow in emotion about the fact that he’s 17.

good grief. go watch a soap opera

Isn’t the term ‘fear for one’s life’ even codified in lots of places?

If you have a working BS detector, it works with or without specific knowledge of the subject matter. BSers act in a certain way that, if you see it, you can safely presume they’re BSing and react accordingly.

Witness Gorebull Worming. Witness COVID response in general, as well as the frantic panic to ‘vaccinate’ everyone.

What ever happened to the purpose of trial was to insure fair justice was arrived at according to the application of the law.

binger is a liar and knows he is lying and this was self defense but he wants to win at all costs for his handlers and his selfish personal/professional gains. TO HELL WITH THE KID.

If there isn’t enough combined intelligence let’s hope that the defense can put it in their minds by giving them the real facts - and not just the made up ones.

Nah.

I want to stay here and watch your intelligent responses.

You say no one agrees with me?

You been reading my Freepmail?

I got an idea....

....why don’t you go watch a soap opera?
