Progressives, part 3...

The prosecutor looks like a fool because he has been given an impossible task.

Many people suspect that Judge Bruce E. Schroeder is team white supremacy. Would this explain why he seems so bias and he’s been coddling Kyle Rittenhouse throughout the entire trial? pic.twitter.com/a83pJnGUi5

Not surprising.  Entirely predictable after watching the judge excoriate the prosecutor.

That's how it seems to work these days.  Once the media decides someone is a white supremacist, anyone who attempts to uphold the rule of law - as opposed to a righteous railroading of the perp - is then also a white supremacist by association.

LOL, don't play the drinking game where you chug every time the DA says "AR-15"...

Also made the argument that "your AR-15 is bigger than his pistol".

If the prosecutor had any integrity he would stand up and say "the state would like to dismiss all charges", as in the movie 'My Cousin Vinny'.

I’m not sure putting Rittenhouse on the stand was a good idea. Lol but the prosecutor asking if he offered aid to the people he just shot is LOL funny.

AR-15 is the bogeyman the media has created.  That is the card he is playing.

Normally yes.  But a prosecutor trying a case with politically motivated overcharges, a teenage kid armed with the truth made a fool of the prosecutor. 

Irreconcilable differences.

Even if the prosecution fails to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed the crimes alleged? Telling statement from the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus https://t.co/IkcpZoL5s9

I don’t disagree, there is a stream on YouTube with a bunch of lawyers commentary on it, and they hate the prosecutor. And they have no political affiliation. He’s a clown

I never expected it.  And clearly neither did the prosecution!  Obviously planned a big political show I'm sure they loved on CNN, but got blindsided they put KR on the stand.

I'm no legal expert, but I maybe can see based on how the prosecutor was putting on his case that Rittenhouse HAD to testify.

Not sure how effective or good he's been, but I did find him more compelling than I might have two scientific experts arguing about whether someone pointed a gun at him, and how threatened by that he should have felt.  Or whether shooting someone beating you with a skateboard is justifiable self defense.

I laughed how he kept asking KR "you pulled that trigger intending to kill him!"  After like the 4th time he asked the question, KR finally said "my intention was to stop him from beating me".

Now it actually kind of makes sense - "intent" is a big part of any murder charge.  So asking about rendering aid is something they've hit cops for because it's a negligence argument.  But I don't think that applies to a civilian like KR.  Prosecutor has no argument to establish intent for the more serious murder charges.

Supposedly the question on why KR never said anything or made statements to investigators was a clear violation of his 5th and trial could be dismissed for that quedtio

I believe he also made the argument that the AR-15 is in Call of Duty and Kyle plays call of duty...

A congressional leader advocating that the rule of law and civil liberty be thrown into the garbage.  Simply astounding.

And then there's this, from a college professor (not necessarily a surprise, I guess):

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/politics-policy/sobbing-kyle-rittenhouse-won-before-ruling-rcna5114

3 white guys looting and burning a black neighborhood got shot by another white guy.

Not fully comprehending the outrage...

LOL, if you thought the prosecutor was an idiot yesterday...

Just declare a mistrial and put him out of his misery already.
