Apparently Corrupt Judge Hints He'll Dismiss Case
Calls Prosecution's Presentation a "House of Cards"
Terms Coming Ruling on Video "Day of Reckoning"

Update: Threat of Rittenhouse-friendly judge declaring mistrial now looms over trial.

Madison, Wisconsin — Kyle Rittenhouse defense attorneys attempted to stop multiple viewings of videos in evidence by the jury that show Rittenhouse killing people.

The Rittenhouse legal team's reasoning is unclear, and the attempt appears to be unsuccessful, dispatches by Michael Tarm, AP legal affairs writer, show this morning.

The dispatches posted on the social media site, Twitter, also show the 75-year-old Judge Bruce Schroeder continuing his hostility towards the prosecution in outbursts that sometimes appear mercurial and manic.

The "Rittenhouse judge mentions a pending motion for mistrial and then alludes to the state's case as potentially 'a house of cards,'" reports the AP's Tarn at 1:00 P.M.

Later, just after 2:00 P. M., the AP. reports, "Rittenhouse judge says he could rule on a mistrial motion after a verdict or if the jurors ask to see the disputed [drone] video,"

The antics by the judge have many observers concerned that Judge Bruce Schroeder will not allow a verdict adverse to Rittenhouse because Schroeder has already predetermined the outcome of the trial.

Schroeder has now "warned prosecutors that if it turns out upon further scrutiny that the video should not have been admitted into evidence in the first place: 'It’s going to be ugly.'"

This could actually mean that if Schroeder checks media coverage again, and determines he was been the source of more ridicule, he'll dismiss the case out of spite.

But Judge Schroeder warned prosecutors that if it turns out upon further scrutiny that the video should not have been admitted into evidence in the first place: “It’s going to be ugly.”

Part of that ugliness could be a post-verdict mistrial for #Rittenhouse. https://t.co/DNzl8hqvvm

Kenosha Killer Impacts in All Directions

Madison, Wisconsin — As Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard champion Kyle Rittenhouse, two bodies, one grievously wounded man and several videos are constant reminders of the horror that one lunatic inflicted on an August night in Kenosha last year. 

Gabbard appears to be positioning herself as veep nominee with Donald Trump, using the Kenosha Killer to launch her new career. Anyway.

As overwhelming a case as was presented over the last two weeks by the prosecution, the visceral image of the child-Rittenhouse firing off an AR-15 in the city street like he was a video-game character will likely carry the day.

The world has bore witness to the narcissistic, dictator-wanna-be world of Judge Bruce Schroeder, stupid, stupid cops, and the racist world of Kenosha Democrats that is the terrain where police and violence are the norm.

But when you fire off bullets, you are responsible for the trajectory of those bullets, unless you are a cop, (then fire away). You own the bullets. We learn it in hunter safety class in junior high school.

The school of Kyle Rittenhouse is altogether different. 

One learns to stop people by firing bullets into their bodies. Can't do that here, the world will soon see. 

And fleeing someone who needs help because you shot him is not a good look, especially for someone pretending to be a medic.

And hey, not to be cruel, but noone likes a crybaby.

Even fewer people like a killer.

Tulsi Gabbard, Kyle Rittenshouse Defenders Go off Deep End

Rittenhouse posted bail, and then met with Proud Boys members
in a Kenosha County bar where he posed, flashing white power signs.

Updated - Madison, Wisconsin — After the Kyle Rittenhouse testimony last week, most everyone agrees this killer is dim, reckless and puerile.

But defenders of Rittenhouse's self-defense claim are proffering new justifications on the eve of closing arguments and jury deliberation this coming week.

One line of killing-justification proliferating on social media is the claim Rittenhouse's victims may have criminal records, so Rittenhouse's killings can be adduced as retroactively praiseworthy. Critics of the killings are similarly off-base in their condemnations under this justification, it is asserted. 

A second line of killing-justification is the claim that all of the people on the street protesting the maiming of Jacob Blake are arsonists, (no matter the lack of criminal records or even arrests in this argument), so all Black Lives Matter protesters present in Kenosha deserve to be killed, including the victims of Rittenhouse.

That these lines of argument are insane does not stop a lot of Rittenhouse supporters from advancing their defense of this homicidal racist.

But this weekend former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard weighed in on the side of Kyle Rittenhouse, omitting mention of his Proud Boys connections, and his stated wish to fire off his AR-15 on people whom he adjudged as guilty of crimes. 

This is the kind of militarism that seems to pass muster in Gabbard's new book.

Gabbard claims Rittenhouse's motive are pure, and he just wanted to protect Kenosha.

Gabbard is off the deep end. Facile and sophomoric, her dangerous mainstreaming of vigilantism gives the green light to kill, as long as increasingly narcissistic Americans deem it necessary.

Writes Gabbard: "With no evidence, MSM & antifa-loving politicians immediately labeled Rittenhouse a white supremacist terrorist. It’s obvious now that he was just a foolish kid who felt he needed to protect people & the community from rioters & arsonists because the government failed to do so."

Really?

Everyone on the streets of Kenosha on Aug 25, 2020, felt individually that he or she was present out of principle, but only one person fired off his AR-15 at people, killed two people, maimed another, and traumatized families and communities for decades.

Don't believe what people say about a murdered relative. No one is ever the same. Everyone on the streets of Kenosha that night could be suffering from PTSD over Rittenhouse's horror.

Gabbard argues that since in his own mind, Rittenhouse was there to protect the City, this gives him the  right to kill.

Not even Rittenhouse's attorneys pursue this absurd line of argument, but this is good enough for Tulsi.

No sympathy from Gabbard about the Rittenhouse victims, or Jacob Blake. But Gabbard did post subsequent ruminations about World Kindness Day.

This is Wisconsin. 

People here celebrate wrongful convictions, police misconduct, but I do feel optimistic that open vigilantism won't fly, no matter the effort to superimpose reasonableness onto vicious killings, and stamp deserve-to-be-killed onto victims.

In the meantime, Tulsi Gabbard is reaching out politically to the lowest of low lives who live behind anonymous accounts, threats, calumny and bile. 

See:

You support pedophiles, I am above you. You are a trash human that lies when they feel their beliefs are threatened. Keep doing you, who knows who might find out your deepest secret. I would never be violent with someone unless in self defense.

If so, be a shame if certain people found out you support kid diddlers and wife beaters...

— RustyWhaler (@RustyWhaler) November 14, 2021

The new logic of the right is to accuse those criticizing killing as being "pedophiles." These are the people Tulsi Gabbard is courting.

Twitter will not take down the posts.

Michael Leon is a pedophile that is upset he got called out. He can't even define fascism and makes up lies about people threatening him. His wife finds out he likes children today, he's flailing. Hard.

Kyle Rittenhouse Is a Mixed-up Vigilante Facing Hostile Headwinds

Madison, Wisconsin —  An anti-vigilante, anti-crime ethos predominates in Kenosha County, the site of the Kyle Rittenhouse vigilante trial.

Kenosha is steeped in racism and stupidity, but put that aside. 

The same sometimes mad-dog, don't-upset-the-herd fear that views black folks with suspicion, that abhors Black Lives Matter, [in Wisconsin, black lives most certainly do not matter], will see the jury return guilty verdicts. 

Rittenhouse deserves it.

Rittenhouse is guilty, this affair is a slam-dunk, and not even the corrupt Judge Bruce Schroeder can save Rittenhouse, though he is trying.

Prosecutor Thomas Binger has successfully portrayed the killer, Kyle Rittenhouse, as unreasonable, pathetic, a tragic child whose cognitive failings, myriad lies, absurd judgments and lack of character led him to become an active shooter and killer. 

On the witness stand this week, Rittenhouse said he "didn’t do anything wrong," and was not trying to "kill," rather only to "stop" those in the streets whom he judged worthy of shooting, in self-defense.

You see among a certain class of self-defense nuts, stopping, as in firing a bullet into another human being, is the same as killing, but one doesn't say that.

Binger asked Rittenhouse if, "[he] knew that when you pulled that trigger, that bullet was going to go right into his chest."

Replied Rittenhouse, "I can’t say — I don’t know where the bullet would have went exactly."

Fool. Liar.

Rittenhouse was not reasonably acting out of fear of great bodily harm or killing. He can rationally be seen as the person who was injecting reasonable fear on the Kenosha streets on August 25, 2020.

Reads the Wisconsin Self Defense statute: "The actor may not intentionally use force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm unless the actor reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself." (Wisconsin Statute 939.48(1))

But reason was nowhere to be found in the mixed-up and deadly Kyle Rittenhouse.

"If I would have let Mr. Rosenbaum take my firearm from me, he would have used it and killed me with it and probably killed more people if I would have let him get my gun," Rittenhouse testified.

Not reasonable. Harm was not imminent.

A death warrant is not granted onto anyone just because he has armed himself.

Rittenhouse feared for his life when Rosenbaum tried to touch the barrel of his AR-15-style gun, and now still trembles with terror and tears 15 months later, but imagine the fear instilled in the witnesses of the slaughter of Mr.  Rosenbaum, when Rittenhouse fired point-blank into his face. 

And Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz. Their families. the Communities.

I don't believe Kenosha County lets this killer off.

The jury is expected to soon enter into deliberation in the coming days, after Monday, Nov 15, on which closing arguments and jury instructions are expected.
