Just more ammunition for the anti 2nd amendment groups. I was amazed at the prosecutor picked up the firearm, didn’t give a thought to check it, point it around the room with finger on the trigger. And he’s talking about how Rittenhouse managed his weapon.

The prosecutor should be in jail as I mentioned in another post.

While I can support your concept, it MUST be noted that prior to this, he had the sherriff inspect and clear the weapon AND announced that the weapon had been cleared. I still disagree with having the finger in the trigger, but it was nowhere NEAR as irresponsible as folks are making it out to be.

SFC Casey O'Mally Didnt realize that, but considering the reason for the trial, very bad image.

MCPO Roger Collins I agree. Not arguing it was SMART. Just less irresponsible than people are making it out to be.

A clear case of self defense. Now lets find out how the Jury sees it.

SSG Bill McCoy - Courts are influenced by potential violence, take the SCOTUS declined to hear a dispute over whether absentee ballots received up to three days after Election Day in Pennsylvania could be counted. This case was made for the SCOTUS, why didn’t they hear it in a timely fashion. The only reason can be fear.

I've watche a lot of the trial and when I first started, the prosecutor was questioning a witness. At the time, I actually thought he was the DEFENSE attorney by the nature of his questions. I started to watch the "live" broadcast and decided to go back to the starting point and realized he was the PROSECUTER.
I watched & listened very closely over several days and began to wonder, WHY IS THE KID EVEN CHARGED? Crossed state lines? No. Mom lived in Illionois; Dad in Kenosha. The kid had/has a job, IN KENOSHA and likely pays some form of wage or earnings tax, IN Kenosha. Brought the rifle, "across state lines?" No.
The inconsistencies just go on, and on, and on. Watching the prosecution's version, or interpretation of the available videos, cemented Rittenhouse's innocence in my mind. Then, recalling the 3rd guy shot, ADMITTING he advance on Rittenhous, with pistol drawn and had it pointed at Rittenhouse's head, further solidified my thoughts. Seeing him chased by a mob, with one thug striking him in the head with a rock in his hand ... then the 2nd thug shot/killed hitting him with the skateboard, even more convinced.
This is a trial that should have NEVER happened. The media convicted him on the very day he was arrested! (Candidate) Biden called him a white supremecist without knowing ANY FACTS and the media ran witht that as well. But, knowing the 3rd guy shot had said, while in the hospital, that he wished he'd have killed "that kid," showed just HOW had WHAT intent. Rittenhouse - ESCAPE; Mob - MURDER.

Other than the threat of violence there was no reason to charge this kid. They (more that one) were chasing him and had him down.
