| RITTENHOUSE FOUND NOT GUILTY ALL CHARGES |
| 2021-11-19 |
| [NY Post] Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted Friday on all charges for shootings that killed two men and injured a third during last year’s violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Emotions have been running high in anticipation of the jury’s verdict, with protests and shouting outside the courthouse and Gov. Tony Evers deploying National Guard troops to Kenosha. The case left Americans divided over whether Rittenhouse, 18, was a patriot taking a stand against lawlessness or a vigilante. The teen faced five charges, including intentional homicide in the fatal shootings of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, as well as attempted homicide for wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, 27. Judge Bruce Schroeder threw out a weapons charge against Rittenhouse on a technicality over the length of the gun’s barrel. A seventh count against the teen for violating curfew on the night of the shootings was also dismissed after the judge ruled that prosecutors failed to present sufficient evidence. Rittenhouse was 17 when he brought a semi-automatic rifle and a medical kit to Kenosha in what he claims was an effort to protect businesses as riots broke out on Aug. 25, 2020, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man who was left paralyzed from the waist down. |

| #57 The Pimpernel simpers. "How vile! Those wimps of Antifa seek Kyle." "And if we get lucky And find him--" "Oh, f-ck!" [pop pop... pop pop pop... pop] "He will simply endure a new trial." Seriously, thank you all for the lovely commentary... and the optimism. |

| #55 Minor in possession. EXPLAINER: Why did judge drop Rittenhouse gun charge? |

| #53 Great news! After 3 days of deliberation, thought the jury would compromise and convict on the lesser charges like the gun charge or reckless endangerment. Glad the judge threw out most of the lesser charges and the jury decided on the merit of the evidence. |

| #52 Also, MSNBC needs to be sued into oblivion. NBC should also suffer accordingly. |

| #51 Yes, he must sue the slanderous media and Turd Face Brandon. |

| #50 In all seriousness Kyle needs to sue the sh!t out of Brandon. Nb. Brandon was not covered by executive privilege a year ago when he slandered Kyle as a "white supremacist." Sue this asshole, good and hard. No quarter. |

| #47 Rumor Biden got the news as he was getting his colonoscopy and crapped right in the middle of it. |

| #45 ^ yes. This may be an historic moment. Perhaps even a turning point. In this light, a different graphic would be appreciated. |

| #44 I added the graphic. I’ll remove it, since you don’t like it, Frank G. Separately, via PJ Media:

| #43 Note: I didn't post the graphic. This was deadly serious and a young man's life and the right to self-defense at a time of mob rule were at peril. |

| #42 The Judge mentioned The Constitution when thanking the jury for their conduct. I like this guy. |

| #40 The idea is on this day one should go purchase 100 rounds for one of their firearms. Due to inflation, it is now 200. |

| #39 Glen, that's the usual approach when a disfavored person is acquitted on state or local charges. I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know if self defense is allowed as a defense against federal charges. |

| #34 Have the riots started yet? or is there a risk now? Dunno. It is National Ammo Day. |

| #33 I'm shocked the jury had the backbone to do it. Happy though. System actually worked this time. |

| #28 So, what does everybody think of the jury system now? It took solid brass balls for those citizens to acquit that kid. Bravo Zulu. |

| #27 the left wanted to make rioting legal and self defense illegal for at least one day, they were defeated but they will keep trying |

| #25 Why did the town not remove the leadership that let their town burn. Someone here said Kenosha used to be the Chicago mafia bedroom community. And the DA and other authorities are all related to each other. So elections there are probably another level of controlled than even Chicago, owned by the Chicago Democratic machine. |

| #24 Re Biden, note that he slandered Young Kyle BEFORE the election, while he (Biden) was on the campaign trail. So it's not immediately obvious that Biden cannot now be sued for defamation. |

| #23 Perfectly planned for a maximum turnout for a Friday weekend Riot, and Looting. Violent Rioters and Looters will be shot by citizens seeing Self Defense is still a valid right. Then the Media will be sued. Then the Biden DOJ will step in to create some Civil Rights, or other Federal odd charges barrel was 0.0005 to short and charge him. (Randy Weaver) The Media steps into high gear to over-hype the Federal Case, in order to cover their butts and minimize the lawsuit award. We'll have a delayed trial date. (pick any reason) closer to Mid-term elections. All with some distant hope of mustering the DNC rumble into a voting block for 2022/2024. The DOJ will pick a Biden Admin appointed Fed Judge. The jury selection process will challenging given all the adverse Media coverage. I think that is enough to get an idea whats coming. |

| #22 Hat tip to the jury and the judge. Perhaps there is yet hope. |

| #21 Now it's time for the kid to go on OFFENSE. Sue every one of those muthaf--king media vipers who libeled him by calling him a "white supremacist" or "Nazi," or falsely accused him of being member of XYZ "hate group." He was libeled and slandered at least as viciously as Nick Covington. IIUC, the latter collected many millions in settlements from CNN and other calumny-spitting, deep-pocketed organs of vileness. Rittenhouse should do the same. |

| #20 Questions: 1: Why did the antifa target the kid? 2: Why did the town not remove the leadership that let their town burn. |

| #15 Biden slandered the kid. Is there any chance that this valiant youth who slew a pervert-scumbag-monster will sue a perverted POTUS-scumbag? Lin Wood, batter up |

| #14 I sincerely hope that the damages from all the scumbag media exceeds a billion dollars. I'm so happy that it turned out this way. As for the wannabe revolutionaries and looters, that loud metallic sound you just heard was millions of charging handles being racked. People saying that Kyle would never be able to get a job? The oilfield will happily take him. Nobody will hassle him at work, and he'd be with a bunch of people who don't take crap from the soy boys. |

| #12 ...I will confess to being slightly - though pleasantly - surprised that there weren't US Marshals waiting on the courthouse steps to arrest him for violating the civil rights of the deceased. Hopefully that kid is on his way somewhere very remote with some bodyguards, because there's people out there who will be literally gunning for him. Mike |

| #8 Color me surprised. I totally expected the jury to kick the can down the road so as not to be responsible for the ensuing rioting. My admiration to the jurors for standing up! God bless America |

| #7 Now the fun begins. Critical Theory teaches that all human interactions are governed entirely by membership of dominant or marginalized groups and that these have deterministic qualities related to success. People who believe simplistically and uncritically in the notion of white privilege are going to have difficulty accepting the ability of non-white people to rise above their disadvantages and make the best of their lives. Their whole philosophy requires this to be impossible and this can lead them into the pursuit of a self-fulfilling prophecy which trashes the legacy of the gains that have been made by black and pro-black campaigners in the last fifty years. |
