Heroes and Zeros: The Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 11/21/2021 6:11:02 AM

For 85 minutes on Friday, we held our breath as America’s-not-Sweetheart Kamala Harris was acting president while Joe Biden was anesthetized for a colonoscopy. Near in time, a 12-member panel of jurors in Kenosha, Wisconsin ignored threats shouted on the courtroom steps to find Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty of all the charges against him. The judge and defense counsel bravely labored on, ignoring the many death threats against them. Kyle was brave to defend himself during the riot and at the trial where the prosecution engaged in numerous unethical acts, not the least of which was charging him with crimes for which they lacked any reasonable scintilla of evidence.

Comments:

Read or scroll down to a great excerpt from Legal Insurrection, suggesting a Kyle's Law that would make prosecutors who bring obviously phony criminal charges personally liable for damages to the defendant.

Compare the Rittenhouse verdict to 2020 Election Fraud. Both are obviously correct, but both are denied by the Marxist Left and the MSM.

Sad that a Kyles Law would be needed to protect innocent until proven guilty but that is where democrats have taken the moral center of America. I think Adams the Elder stated without the Judeo Christian morals as a center our self government cannot exist.

"You can blame Leftist propagandists or your laziness if you believed that Rittenhouse’s assailants were black..." You can also blame black leadership for claiming the verdict impinges their right to "peaceful protest." National Right to Life has had peaceful protests every stinkin year for decades. Never once lit so much as a piece of paper, much less a building, on fire. I would challenge anyone to find a single instance of an MSM calling the Right to Life march a "peaceful protest." Been having them for decades. BLMob can't have a single protest w/o violence, and they are the "peaceful protesters." Puking.

1. Heels Up: The verdict “ showed the criminal justice system is not equitable.” QUESTION: How does her stint as prosecutor look on the equity scoreboard? 2. “Kyle’s Law” is a noble fantasy. Ballot reform would need to precede it. 3. Clarice should be awarded a permanent spot in the Sunday L Dot Must Read link list.

The idea of a Kyle law is good but I disagree with making the state liable for damages because the state really means the taxpayers of the state. I would rather see all liability on the prosecutors. Make them pay for liability insurance. Perhaps then they would abstain from grandstanding in cases like Kyle Rittenhouse.

"Kyle's Law" is another of those needless special pleadings. Why not make the cop liable for issuing a faulty speeding ticket? The defendant spent time and money to defend himself...and it isn't cheap. Let's threaten to sue everyone for everything. How about the florist or baker who offends me? In most, if not every state, judges and District Attorneys are elected. Like school boards, these candidates generally face little electoral scrutiny. Don't like the courts and legal systems, elect someone else. Those down ballot offices matter. Soros can buy them dime a dozen...can you name your Secretary of State?

The Kenosha's prosecution of Rittenhouse is eerily similar to Roland Freisler's prosecutorial show trials of individuals who were against the Nazi's during the 1930's and 1940's. Biden and his minions support of such prosecutions should alarm everyone. But it is evident that at least half the population of America and all the alphabets support the mob justice. Only the 2nd Amendment protects you.

A Kyle's law would certainly reduce malpractice by the prosecution. As long as a Kyle's law itself is not abused, such a law removes the msm and the court of public opinion from having any influence.

To the left Rittenhouse is guilty for defending himself. It doesn't matter what means he used by cheating the assailants out of murdering him. Death would have been the alternate result but Rittenhouse was better than they were.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot three black men. Kyle Rittenhouse traveled across state lines with a gun. Kyle Rittenhouse had an AK-47. These are three examples of false information being spread about Rittenhouse, whose trial ended last week with his acquittal. Prominent influencers, including lawmakers and reporters, are sources of some of the misinformation—possibly disinformation—leaving experts troubled. On CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, reporter Mark Strassman falsely said Rittenhouse “drove in from Illinois armed for battle.” On CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” on Friday, Harvard University professor Cornell William Brooks falsely said Rittenhouse was carrying an AK-47. The Independent falsely reported late last week that Rittenhouse shot three black men.

In 2018, after a local news crew filmed Ryan Nichols rescuing dogs abandoned by their owners after Hurricane Florence, the former Marine appeared on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show.” (Snip) Three years after his appearance on the DeGeneres show, Nichols was featured on another program, but this time, Nichols spoke from the fetid confines of a political prison in the nation’s capital. And instead of telling a heroic story of saving dogs drowning in rising flood waters, Nichols told Newsmax host Greg Kelly a harrowing tale of what he saw at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. “We showed up in good faith . . . to protest

Yale Law School is failing. For reasons that appear to be associated with her support for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, the school seems to have a vendetta against Professor Amy Chua. Chua was banned from teaching Yale Law’s important “small group” classes after being accused of, well, something. A deep-dive investigative report by The New York Times found no evidence that Chua had actually done anything wrong. (Snip) The two students charge that the law school administration tried to blackmail them into making false accusations against her. In addition, the law school administration publicly shamed another student of color, who announced a Native American Law Students Association party

Ten years ago this coming February, George Zimmermann shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on a rainy night in Sanford, Florida. Without intending, Zimmerman triggered a dark new phase in the history of progressive America. Beginning with the Sacco and Vanzetti case in the 1920s, the left lied to conceal the guilt of the guilty. Yes, Virginia, those two bad boys were guilty. Upton Sinclair, who “proved” their innocence in his epic novel Boston, knew they were guilty.

How many federal agencies do we pay for? I bet you think, as I once did, that a quick internet search would tell. But researching for an essay a couple of years ago, I found numbers varying from 78 to 158, and websites saying the exact number was impossible to determine. Looking at the USA.gov website recently, I discovered a tab for Federal Agencies A to Z (actually there are none past W). Scrolling around the list for two days, subtracting duplicate listings, like Useless Policy, Office of and Office of Useless Policy, I counted 456

ORLANDO, Fla.—Gov. Ron DeSantis delivered a blistering critique of President Joe Biden and his authoritarian policies, warning Americans they need to fight against the radical left to preserve our freedom. Speaking to roughly 800 supporters of The Heritage Foundation and its grassroots partner, Heritage Action for America, DeSantis took aim at Biden’s recently announced COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

PHOENIX, AZ — A world-class COVID-19 expert has called the experimental drugs used to prevent the coronavirus “a product of bioterrorism.” Dr. Peter McCullough made the remark during an October 27 meeting in Phoenix, Arizona in which he explained the dangers of mRNA technology used to combat COVID-19. Of particular concern to McCullough is the mRNA jabs’ ability to make the human body produce spike protein. “Everything we have learned about the spike protein since release of the vaccines is bad, 100% bad,” he lamented. “This spike protein—in itself—is pathogenic,” he continued. “This spike protein—in itself—is lethal to some through mechanisms which are now CORRECTION*

In medieval days, before there were secular dramas, there were roving bands of semi-professional actors performing morality plays. The plays were often short and sometimes even farcical. Plots were designed to encourage moral choices or illustrate Biblical stories. (Snip) Today, we have criminal trials as national entertainment. They usually take days and too often devolve into farce, as did the Kenosha trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, fumbled by the prosecutors (looking so much like Laurel and Hardy) trying the 17-year-old hero for shooting two felons to death and wounding a third man during a days’ long riot, arson and looting.

No, the Democrats—aka “The Party of Science”—did not flunk high school biology. Between grade inflation and “woke” stupidity, nobody flunks much of anything in high school these days. But there is another explanation why they—and even the vaunted Dr. Anthony Fauci—act as if natural immunity is not the best immunity against COVID-19 as it is against so many other illnesses, including childhood ones. In case you did miss high school biology and have been living under an Everest-size pile of rocks, natural immunity is what you have via antibodies after an illness ends that prevents you from getting that illness again.

After years of steadily accumulating power, 2021 is the year that Big Tech well and truly flexed its muscle. (Snip) Yet with all the focus on censorship of big names, conservatives risk forgetting about an all-important right in today’s tech-dominated age: The right to anonymous speech. Revolver readers don’t need to be told that it’s more dangerous than ever in America and the West more broadly to voice an opinion at odds with the official, regime-sanctioned one mandated in Washington. A wrong word, or any word mentioned to the wrong person or in the wrong venue can destroy a career, a reputation, a livelihood.

New York state voters voted “no” on Democrat-supported amendments to the state Constitution, pitched as “voting rights” measures, that would have expanded absentee voting, allowed same-day voter registration, and changed the rules on drawing legislative districts.

Eighty looters ransacked a Nordstrom store in California's Bay Area on Saturday night, injuring at least three employees in a raid that lasted less than a minute. The large group,wearing ski masks and carrying crowbars, rushed the Walnut Creek store, stole an undetermined amount of merchandise and fled in their vehicles. During the theft, two Nordstrom workers were punched and kicked, while another was sprayed with pepper spray.(Snip)The brazen robbery comes as Bay Area businesses reduce their hours due to a spate of brazen shoplifting incidents. Locals are also slamming woke San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin over his failure to prosecute thefts.

The trial of the three men accused of slaying Ahmaud Arbery has Black Americans walking on pins and needles once again. Whatever the jury decides, I’m afraid, will fail to address a damming question that the tragic incident symbolizes: How can Black people ever be secure in America? Executed by three strangers while jogging in a white neighborhood, Arbery’s killing reflects the mindset of domination in the culture of white supremacy: the belief that any random white person has the right to accost and detain a Black person with impunity. Authorities are ready to accept their claims of righteous endangerment–even

The hypersonic glide vehicle - a spacecraft with the ability to carry a nuclear warhead - fired a missile mid-flight over the South China Sea, catching Pentagon scientists unawares.Experts at Darpa - the Pentagon's advanced research agency - are apparently still baffled at how China was able to defy the constraints of physics to fire a weapon from the vehicle travelling at hypersonic speed, the Financial Times reports.

The relationship between Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their respective staffs has been on rocky ground for months. As RedState previously reported, the vice president and her camp have complained about being abandoned, even blaming racism as a possible factor, while the White House has fretted at Harris’ sheer incompetence and inability to garner support on her own. Those tensions have led to lots of speculation about what exactly happens in 2024. Harris is clearly a terrible candidate, something she showed during the 2020 presidential primary, but she’s also the heir apparent until Democrats forcibly remove her from that position.

San Francisco Bay was hit by a third day of shocking looting, with a gang of thieves smashing glass cases at a jewelry store and emptying them as staff screamed in terror. The latest incident happened at a Sam's Jewelers store at the Southland Mall in Hayward around 5:30pm PST Sunday evening, and was caught on camera. Robbers—said to have been part of a gang of around 40 to 50 teens who entered the mall—wielded hammers to smash display cases at Sam's, before making off with goods. Dramatic footage shot from a nearby store showed shop workers screaming with fear as the disturbing scene unfolded.
