    The Masters of the Universe want Rittenhouse convicted and they are not allowing his side of the story to be widely told from what I hear. Also, they don't want him to collect a legal defense fund through the Masters of the Universe social media. Since he is only 17, I wish that he had stayed home and told his friends that he was not a legal adult yet. It is too late for that but I think because of the politics of the presidential election year that he will face a long process trying to clear his name.

    2020 is much like 1968 only worse. Billionaires such as Soros are sending their private armies around with plenty of cash to live well and professionally agitate day after day. In 1968, the rioting was done by rich white kids and their allies but it was more localized in my opinion. We had limousine liberals who wore army surplus jackets and other hippie styles but were dropped off at the protests by the family chauffer. Also, the protesters disliked Hubert Humphrey and so they were more demoralized than they are now with Biden/Harris. But the level of violence was high as military buildings were blown up weekly and police were attacked about daily like now. As you know, it is rich countries that are always targeted by socialists/communists for takeover. Why bother to socialize Haiti, for example, where there is nothing left to steal?

    Don't know much about Kenosha but I have heard reports that there were a lot of out-ot-towners there. I imagine that the Floyd riots in downtown Indianapolis where two people were murdered also involved people from out of town as Indianapolis had never had a riot before in recent memory.

    You would think that threatening a minor with a pistol would be a crime in Kenosha.

    Or being a felon in possession of a firearm, but we already have another thread on that topic.

    So, three individuals who messed around and found out. All three with arrest records, and at least two of them were convicted felons. So the question is, was this case a far out statistical outlier, or are a large portion of these "peaceful protestors" a bunch of hoodlums and troublemakers?

    (And I have seen people post supposed prior charges on Rittenhouse, but I haven't seen any mainstream news confirm them. And I can't imagine that juvenile charges are freely available online. But I don't know. Maybe the msm is hesitant after the half a billion in damages being paid to Sandemann.)

    Notice the media portrays all these criminals as victims of either right leaning gun groups, patriots, police, systemic racism (which does not exist), social injustice. What we have here are criminals defending criminals.

    Not demeaning his feat, but let's be realistic. Had he been blindfolded and shot at random, chances are extremely high any hit would've been a felon.

    Convicted felons drawing a huge cash bonus from people such as Soros and other Democrat Party operatives.

    If this were more common, the takers of the cash would be a bit more reluctant to accept the terms of the offer!!:Biggrin:Biggrin:Biggrin

    I've been beating this drum from the beginning. If the videos are allowed as evidence, they have to exhonorate him.

    The prosecution will make Rittenhouse's reasons for being there the issue. That's irrelevant, of course, but this is 2021 and we no longer deal in facts and logic, only in anecdote and emotion.

    But I don't think a reasonable jury can see those videos and conclude anything but self defense.

    Thanks Squire, for posting this update. For a brief moment, before looking at the date a year ago, I thought maybe CMG was back, I pray that he is doing well. Anyway, thanks for the update.
    Off track here, but it came to my mind, reading this, that one of the politically held prisoners from 1/6 died in prison. He was 61, a veteran. Some have been disabled from beatings that are still held. Peoples lives become political fodder…..but those responsible never seem to pay a price.
