At 12:17 P.M. Friday, while I was on a conference call, trying not to think about the trial going on in Kenosha, I got a text message from a good friend. "You called it. Acquitted on all counts." I felt a profound sense of relief. I didn't even realize how tense I have been all week waiting for this. Watching the video of the moment they announced the verdicts on the indictment, I cried with him. I am sure many others in America did as well. I know nothing of Kyle Rittenhouse other than what I have seen this past...

... police departments are preparing behind the scenes for what could be a weekend of chaos Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith, a retired 20 year veteran, said violence is 'likely' and it may start tonight The fact the verdict came in on a Friday means more people are likely to protest because they aren't at work It also came in late so it will be darker sooner in much of the country than it was in August last year She said forces must use a zero tolerance policy but that local, state and federal leaders need to urge calm too

"I think that it was a great decision...frankly the case should have never been brought. It was prosecutorial misconduct in my opinion." "I was very happy to see it." If he had waited a quarter of a second when that guy pointed his gun at his head, he would be dead. He would have pulled the trigger.

I have been searching for any indicaton that there is in fact rioting occurring due too the Rittenhouse verdict, but see nothing. Anyone have information to the contrary?

Place to discuss riots, lootings, fires and gun shots tonight following the Rittenhouse verdict.

It appears the leftists are getting ready to clock in for work in Kenosha. There is a report of bricks being placed in Kenosha in preparation for rioting.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the groups behind the riots in the US include domestic terrorists, Black lives Matter, US Islamists,...

Former Hawaii Congresswoman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has never been one to shy away from wading into hot button topics and angering “her side” in the process, and the Kyle Rittenhouse case has been no exception.As we’ve previously reported, the prosecution in the closely-watched trial has done themselves zero favors over the last few days, suffering serious setbacks such as Judge Bruce Schroeder repeatedly admonishing them over their courtroom antics, with inarguably the biggest setback being that one of the prosecution’s star witnesses admitted on the stand that Rittenhouse only shot at him after he (the witness)...

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen standing trial for multiple felonies following a shooting in Kenosha, Wis., last year, is fortunate it is not crime in America to "be an idiot." "What kind of idiot 17-year-old gets a giant gun and goes to a riot? He has no license, he has no training, he thinks he's going to scrub graffiti off with his AR-15? I mean, the stupidity of this. What could possibly go wrong? Well a lot went wrong," Toobin said Wednesday during CNN's coverage of the Rittenhouse murder trial, which is taking place this...

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — The first man shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse on the streets of Kenosha was acting “belligerently” that night but did not appear to pose a serious threat to anyone, a witness testified Friday at Rittenhouse’s murder trial. Jason Lackowski, a former Marine who said he took an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle to Kenosha last year to help protect property during violent protests against racial injustice, said that Joseph Rosenbaum “asked very bluntly to shoot him” and took a few “false steppings ... to entice someone to do something.” Lackowski got up from the witness stand and...

The role of the prosecutor is supposed to be to represent the state in the interests of justice. That means that the point of the prosecution isn’t necessarily winning — it is that justice. If, for example, the prosecutor has exculpatory evidence — evidence that will clear the defendant — the prosecutor is required to turn that over to the defense.A prosecutor is supposed to tell the truth in the interest of justice, even if it is not advantageous to his case.So I have some questions for the prosecutor about his opening statements in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial which is...

Kyle Rittenhouse struggled to stay focused and yawned throughout his homicide trial Tuesday in Wisconsin that will decide whether he spends his life behind bars for a triple shooting. Rittenhouse, 18, let out several yawns as lawyers from both sides prepared to give opening statements in a Kenosha court about him fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during last year’s protests over police brutality. He yawned often during the proceedings, including when he stood for jurors to enter the courtroom and when his own lawyer began his opening remarks. The day earlier during jury selection, the teen also...

One potential juror in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse wondered out loud during jury selection why anyone would need a “machine gun.” On August 25, 2020, Rittenhouse was carrying a legally owned semi-automatic Smith & Wesson M&P rifle. Another juror expressed how “scared” she was to be so close to where Rittenhouse lived. And still another said she couldn’t be impartial because her family wasn’t impartial. And so went jury selection in the most consequential American self defense case in years.These people aren’t alone. According to now former Rittenhouse attorney, Robert Barnes, who did pre-trial polling, fully two-thirds of potential...
