Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn’t have been there but his actions were justified. The trial is a clown show lead by the same government that allowed the city to be burned to the ground due to there incompetence! To the protestors outside the courtroom, GET A JOB!

I’m not 100% sure what the outcome will be of the trial…… but a book deal and seat in Congress is only a few years away I bet

Yep NOT GUILTY!!

NotGuilty

Experts say gun charge dropped in Rittenhouse trial was result of poorly worded lawThe dismissal of a misdemeanor weapons charge against high-profile murder defendant Kyle Rittenhouse is likely to ignite a statehouse debate over how to fix what the judge in the case called unclear and two legal experts called poorly worded Wisconsin legislation. That was the only charge I thought was definite. That kid is going to walk out of court 100% acquitted! I'm no expert, but I'd say it was the result of a completely biased judge who should be removed from the bench and sent to anti-racist training.

Prosecutor in Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Criticized for Pointing AR-15 at JuryThe prosecutor in the Kyle Rittenhouse case is drawing fire for pointing an AR-15 directly at the jury ... and critics are comparing his conduct to the fatal shooting on the 'Rust' set. Always assume it’s loaded This guy knows what he’s doing,everyone knows you point a gun at someone with your finger on the trigger… So it's not nice to bring an AR-15 someplace public and point it at people? Does it frighten them? Does it needlessly escalate matters? It it potentially dangerous (particularly if the darn thing is actually loaded rather than just a courtroom demo)?
