MSNBC Analyst: Rittenhouse Like A Bank Robber Shooting His Way Out
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/19/2021 11:33:04 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joyce Vance, an MSNBC legal analyst, and former Obama appointee as a US Attorney, was palpably peeved by the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse. Commenting on it on MTP Daily today, Vance offered an absurd analogy.

She said:

"This strikes me as an odd situation for self-defense. It's something akin to saying that if you go in a bank and rob it and people are trying to apprehend you, you can shoot your way out and claim self-defense. That's a little bit what Kyle Rittenhouse did. He created this problem, and then proceeded to threaten people to get out. Typically you can't claim self-defense in a situation where you've provoked the incident."

Their are so full of hate, and their blinders are so tight, they’ve squeezed all the common sense out and left only stupidity behind.

Go Kyle, you’re a brave young man.

So Joyce, Rittenhouse fighting for his life was akin to a bank robber shooting his way out of a bank. So what was Rittenhouse trying to rob? Oh forget it that doesn’t work. What was the bank? A mob of violent, deranged, career criminals? Gee they aren’t a very accurate metaphor for a bank, are they? How about you are a deranged Marxist idiot posing as a sane commentator!

So as not to confuse any of you, I confused Joyce Vance with Jill -Wine-Banks who wears a different cutesy, specialiized, pendant for each MSNBC hit.

She’s just as sick as Vance, however.

The good news is that it’s virtually impossible for the prosecution to appeal an acquittal. The rule against double jeopardy prohibits it.

That doesn’t mean that the left won’t try other means to continue to drag Rittenhouse through the mud.

Another one to add to Kyle’s rapidly growing “to sue” list.

Seems more like a black man shooting his way out of a lynching.

“ I hope Kyle hires attorney Lin Wood and sues MSNBC, Joyce Vance, etc. for slander.”
********************************************************************
Lin Wood? Are you kidding me. Kyle’s lawyer just said Lin Wood will be suing Kyle for the $2 million bail money that is being returned.

What’s with all the Lin Wood love here.

Let me get this straight: rioters robbers and miscreants rampage. An American feels strong enough to try and protect other’s lives and property and he’s the Robber?
Reminds me of the Jabs. Take this and it doesn’t work and if you know someone who hasn’t taken it because it doesn’t work they are the idiot menace and pariah:-)

Excellent turn of phrase!

We have a winner for the best alliteration o’ the day!
