Rittenhouse is fascinating

Tucker Carlson scored the first interview with Kyle Rittenhouse and I highly recommend it. Before the trial, Rittenhouse was a human Rorschach test: We all saw what we wanted to see. Tucker’s interview revealed a real person: articulate, intelligent, principled, nuanced in his opinions, and even-tempered. (snip) The real young man is...well, real. First, he speaks fluently, without the “like” and “you know” fillers that most young people use. I thought that his smooth, intelligent speech on the witness stand was because he was well-rehearsed (which is what all lawyers should do to prepare their clients for their testimony). It seems, though, that Rittenhouse really just speaks well.

I thought the interview was well done by both Carlson and Rittenhouse. I was surprised to meet a well spoken, very measured young man very typical of the young people in the Midwest. He did not come across as a hot head or an ideologue. He was calm and forthright. Surprisingly, he was not bitter or angry considering everything he went through. The conditions in the jail he spent 87 days in were terrible and his lawyers apparently did not have his best interests in mind when it came to representing him. I was very disappointed to hear his life was made much worse by the decisions of Wood and Pierce. Thankfully, he was acquitted of all charges something I thought was impossible in this political climate. Because of prosecutorial misconduct he will never have the life he should have but I hope and pray he keeps himself grounded and that he can go on to live the life he deserves without fear. The media really tried to destroy this kid and I doubt they will let up anytime soon. Hopefully, he will be surrounded by good people with his best interests at heart. He deserves it. Most grown men could not have weathered the storm this kid has been through. God bless him.

What stuns me the most is that the "fake narrative bs" that the media portrays has made it into the court house. That elevates "fake" to a whole new level. How long has this been going on? Is this why many in the black community have been saying there are 2 justice systems? Are prosecutors locking up people by any means? Regarding the interview last night, It did make me sad to hear that Kyle was accepted to Arizona State University and that he'd like to be on campus, I'm concerned that the Woke Student body will make it impossible for him, let alone the Professors. He may be better off going to Hillsdale College.

The Marines are always looking for a few good men. This young man is most definitely one of them.

The same members of the Press and the left who trashed this young man, are the same ones who ignored all stories about Hunter Biden. Shame on them all.

Well doneTucker! All the naysayers should be forced to watch this interview, but unfortunately that will never happen. Kyle is mature beyond his years.

A wonderful interview. But you saw a preview of the “real” Kyle when he was on the witness stand.
His respectful, thoughtful, and TRUTHFUL testimony was indicative of the young man we saw last night.
His mama raised a fine man.

21 days without running water. He said he took a 3 hour bath when he was released from an adult jail. So sad & this is in the US!! I'm shocked about the actions of his previous lawyers ... Lin Wood & Pearce..

#5, Unfortunately, if the Marines become an entity in line with this regime's ideology, Rittenhouse will be too good for them.

#4 I believe the answer to your question is, yes. Can you imagine an individual without financial means coming up against a prosecutor like Binger? This person would receive a court appointed lawyer, who is most likely overwhelmed with cases. Couple this with a defendant who probably can’t read due to the failing education system and you bet many defendants have lost before the trial even starts. The majority of inner city defendants are black.

I played the interview. What happened to Rittenhouse is beyond disgusting. Carlson could not believe what he was hearing. And our own president biden the cheater wanted this kid destroyed and still does. Rittenhouse needs to sue him civilly. Keep in mind that biden libeled Rittenhouse before the November election. I hope this means that the cheater can be sued now for his actions. Then there is the matter of suing the msm for a lot of money. Shame on Wood and Pierce for a very poor job defending Rittenhouse. And shame on America for its mob behavior in attempting to destroy him. The only reason Rittenhouse isn't spending the rest of his life in prison is the video feeds that proved his claim of self-defense. AG Gravely must be dis-barred.
Then we have this kook Brooks who just mowed down 45 people in Waukesha and was freed on a $1,000 cash bond. My God, what has happened to this country. And we wonder why teen suicide is at an all-time.
Meanwhile, Rittenhouse must now revert to a quieter but productive life. God will guide him. He is a well-grounded young man.

It's a good thing Tucker got the first interview.
If Hannity had gotten it - - we'd still be waiting for Sean to finish the first question - - before he interrupted Kyle's response.

Strange that he seems to be the Opposite to how the fake media reported about him. Since I always believe the opposite to the fake media Kyle is a lot like the person I assumed he was.

He will sue and I hope his lawyers don't accept any plea deals and puts all of these media and Uncle Joe on the witness stand and make them tell why they reported lies. Plus, they will spend a ton of money on hiring their own lawyers. Then-----hit them for the money.

The maturity and dignity of first Nicholas Sandman and now Kyle Rittenhouse have amazed me. What Kyle has gone through is beyond what many adults could handle emotionally. Yet, he is staying grounded. I pray too that he can have a peaceful life and achieve his goals. It is just an enjoyable twist that the hysterical media gets hit back by unusually calm and sensible young men.

There is something nefarious going on. This is a telegram post from Lin Wood.
Lin Wood;
"I know who is behind the recent barrage of false attacks being made against me. So does General Mike Flynn."
Kandiss Taylor has words to say as well as David Clements.
We need to get to the bottom of this.

I don't know. The interview? Fine. With the upcoming documentary, however, I submit that Tucker "used" Kyle for his own benefit as much as the first set of lawyers. His team followed the kid everywhere, often angering the defense team. Guilty or innocent, we'd be able to watch all of the drama in and out of the courtroom with our paid subsctption to Fox Nation. He does good work, but I worry about Tucker becoming the Scott Pelley of Fox News. Oh, and as I recall even Fox stated initially that Kyle traveled from Illinois to Wisconsin with his weapon.

# 4 The MSM works hand in hand with the dems, in fact all of them do PR for the dems. The left has an agenda that the MSM wholly supports . The MSM has been this way for it seems like forever. In the 30's Walter Duranty of the NY Times spent a lot of time in Russia and completely ignored the fact that Stalin was intentionally starving the peasants of The Ukraine.He wrote lies and was given a Pulitzer for his work. Things are no different today. The do not report truth/fact. They print and speak left wing agenda. The dem base not only believes them but they denigrate anyone that does not agree with and or questions their lies.

I was amazed at his calm demeanor...he went through hell thanks to the prosecutor and their staff looking to score points with soros' AG... it didn't work and I hope that he goes on with his life and becomes a success... when he sues the fake news he will have plenty of financial stability for the rest of his life...I hope he finishes his nursing degree in college and lives a happy life...

This young man gave God the credit for his calm demeanor and ability to withstand what he has gone through this past year. The Left calls Wisconsin the "fly over country" but here is the real America. God fearing, down to earth, honest, patriotic, and like the old Boy Scouts motto,
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my Country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
THIS IS THE REAL AMERICA! THIS IS KYLE RITTENHOUSE! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

This young man thanked God for looking out for him. I think his trust in God during his 15 month personal trial is what kept him together and calm in the face of the corrupted system and DA. He sounds like he has made the right decisions in his life, like going to the firing range for some instruction for one. Kyle is the young face of our national right to defend ourselves and our community from these thugs, and the Left knew it. Hence the attack on an innocent young man.
Wood needs to submit to a full independent accounting of all those funds that were raised in Kyle's name. Because right now, Wood is coming off as being just slightly more than dodgy in some of his claims. He kept the lad in jail in Illinois for three months, supposedly for his own protection. I call BS on that claim. I think it was because he was raising funds and Kyle in jail made a great cause.

Chances are when Rittenhouse was talking with Carlson he did not fully take into consideration the difference between the Black Lives Matter organization and their fraudulent and violent political agenda, that is contrary to the clear statement “Black Lives Matter”. While support for the Black Lives Matter organization and their fraudulent and violent political agenda is very limited throughout the general population outside the leftist and socialist Democrat Party and their media propagandists, the clear statement “Black Lives Matter” enjoys almost total support from the general public throughout the USA.
Since Rittenhouse has now had his day in the sun with Carlson he should go silent and allow his lawyers to put forward his civil case against the people and entities who defamed him. After Rittenhouse receives his payout or settlement money through that civil suit, chances are he could easily change his name, immigrate to a country like Australia, and quietly live happily ever after.

Very impressed by Mr. Rittenhouse's demeanor in the interview...I had the unusual impulse of wishing I had a son, exactly like this impressive young man. America at it's best.
A bright ray of sunshine in this time of dark communist evil. I still hope we can vote our way out of this.

This post is simply an effort to provide “the other side of the story” and by no means intended to discredit Mr. Rittenhouse who is a remarkable young man for whom prayers were and continue to be offered for his personal guidance and safety.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene posted derogatory comments about Lin Wood regarding his association with Kyle Rittenhouse and blames Mr. Wood for why Georgia lost Georgia’s Senate seats. Law Professor David Clements (New Mexico State University) is a former Deputy District Attorney (12th Judicial District Attorney’s Office), a former Senior Trial Attorney for the 3rd and 6th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the founder of The Professor’s website “...vociferously defended Lin Wood.” The Professor stands with Lin Wood: “No one in the patriot movement, myself included, has endured more attacks from the enemy than Lin Wood. Lin Wood is a fearless truth teller who is unashamedly devoted to Jesus Christ. My heart grieves at what he has had to endure. The enemy has tried to take everything from him. Lin is not alone. He has devoted himself to “We the People.”
Professor Clements does not believe what Kyle said to Tucker Carlson and believes the young man has been “...traumatized to no end and is being lied to and used by less than honorable characters to throw shade on Lin!” The professor knows Lin Wood and promises you “...that did not happen.” The professor would be willing to bet that Lin Wood has the receipts to prove it and cautions people not to “...be so quick to crucify someone till you have all the facts! Have we not, as Americans, learned this lesson before??”
Another friend of Mr. Wood said he knows Mr. Wood and what has been said about Mr. Wood “...does NOT line up with his character. ...as of right now, until EVIDENCE could prove otherwise, which I find unlikely, Lin was already able to provide receipts. I STAND WITH MY FRIEND LIN WOOD.”
Today Mr. Wood responded to “Questions raised by the Deep State Fox interview of Kyle Rittenhouse by Tucker Carlson” by asking: When was the interview arranged? Who arranged the interview? When was the interview conducted?
Mr. Wood points out that Kyle’s “verdict was rendered around Noon on Friday. With the clips of the interview shown, Fox and Tucker were promoting the interview on Friday evening. That sure was a fast turnaround!!!” Mr. Wood asks, “How did Kyle go in a few short hours from being the emotional young man exonerated on murder charges to appearing to be a composed, scripted young man in the Tucker Carlson interview?” Why Tucker Carlson focused on him (Lin Wood). Mr. Wood believes this “...was clearly a Fox ambush hit piece on me. Who wanted to use Kyle Rittenhouse to falsely attack me?”
Other questions raised by Mr. Wood include why “...Fox totally ignored the background of David Hancock, the disgraced former Navy SEAL, in discussing Kyle? I spoke to Kyle one time briefly over a year ago. (Hancock) has been in total control of Kyle and his mother for almost one year. The public record raises very serious questions about the honesty and agenda of (Hancock).”
Further questioning, “Why did Tucker strongly suggest that I was one of Kyle’s criminal layers? I was not. John Pierce was calling the shots for Kyle during the time period in question along with Mark Richards. I was just trying to help Kyle through #FightBack. I had agreed to help him in defamation matters after the criminal case. Why did John Pierce terminate that relationship almost immediately after #FightBack posted the bail monies.”
Mr. Wood believes there “...are MANY more serious questions to be explored with respect to this Deep State ambush hit piece. Do the research. Connect the dots. Draw your own conclusions.”

On the question of Lin Wood. Today on his podcast, Dan Bongino, said he hasn't trusted Lin Wood for a long time. We do trust Dan Bongino and his discernment of people's character. It is a shock about Wood, but we believe Bongino. We've listened to him on his podcasts for years and read his books. He's been right about the Trump hoax and those who have worked in the Obama administration. Remember Bongino was Secret Service for Obama and knows where the bodies are buried.
