When a CNN panel of liberal talking heads admits that Kyle Rittenhouse has a “plausible case of self-defense,” it’s pretty much a slam dunk that the prosecution has lost their case.
Kyle Rittenhouse was the 17 year old who traveled to Kenosha, Wisconsin, on a mission to provide aid to people hurt by the riots. While Kenosha authorities cowered in place and Antifa thugs burned down businesses, Kyle was determined to make a difference and help out those in need.
As one of the CNN panel members said, “you can’t go to jail for being an idiot,” and most would agree that jumping into the middle of leftist violence armed with a long gun was both idiotic, but the gun was indeed necessary. He ended up shooting a few rioters, one of whom attacked him with a drawn pistol.
During the prosecution’s incompetent presentation, the surviving leftist admitted that his gun was drawn. He intended to harm Kyle, and Kyle shot him. Self-defense, case closed.
During the trial, prosecutor Thomas Binger figured he could rattle Kyle, who, many believed, foolishly agreed to testify. As a criminal defense strategy, putting the defendant on the stand is considered a tactic of last resort—unless, as in Kyle’s case, the defendant has absolutely nothing to hide.
The most memorable moment were Kyle’s tears as he remembered the trauma that night. Then there was the judge’s outrage and angry comments directed at the prosecutor, who tried to violate Kyle’s Fifth Amendment rights. It was a classic smackdown.
Watch this Rob Schmidt Tonight video for an insightful analysis.
Obvious attempt by the govt., now a definite leftist Fed govt. with its necessary/willing henchmen, to railroad an underage boy (at the time) to try and convict him to make an example for all others who might try to stand up for their constitutional rights. If conviction occurs, watch out for more travesty in govt. overreach. Maybe K.R. should have just allowed himself to be beaten to death with a skateboard or allowed himself to be shot by one of the rioters. Or perhaps let them have his rifle to shoot and kill him. The loser who pointed his gun at K.R. was going to do what…make a citizen’s arrest? Not likely, as he appeared to be responding to someone who yelled out “Kill him!” What would you do? I think I would do what K.R. did – protect myself.
This was a case of self defense, three against one. Most likely , Kyle ws arrested to prevent further rioting .The prosecutors should be looking for new employment . The third VICTIM is looks more , and more like a PERP. After Kyle is acquitted , he can sue the state for false arrest , persecution , and prosecution. At present they are trying to discredit Kyle by charging him for : spitting on the sidewalk , wearing mismatched socks ,and bad hair styling. Other serious charges will be forthcoming , hopefully, so Kyle wont take them to the cleaners when this is done. The Lib Pols are very clever. .
