"After the defense rested in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the lawyers on both sides met with the judge to go over possible jury instructions and the introduction of lesser charges.
A video was shown of a mob of rioters with axes and what appeared to be baseball bats destroying the cars at a local auto dealership.
- The prosecution was arguing that Rittenhouse had lost his right of self-defense because he had a clear path to run away.
- The defense countered by pointing out that the supposed clear path went through the out-of-control mob portrayed on the video.
This moment was emblematic of the prosecution's entire case.
In the state's opinion, the presence of armed citizens trying to prevent the burning and destruction of property in and of itself constituted a provocation of the rioters sufficient for them to justify their attacks on Rittenhouse and negate his right of self-defense.
As crazy as this sounds, much of the media and most of the Democrat party agree with the prosecutors. The real villains in this case are the public authorities who allowed rioters to wreak havoc unopposed for three nights in Kenosha in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a police action that was ultimately deemed justifiable.
While watching the video of the destruction, one has to wonder: why weren't police and firemen there protecting Kenosha?...Read all.
