#1 I honestly don't see any logic behind this prosecutor's unbelievably snide, contemptuous and over-the-top unprofessional behavior.

The defendant is a minor. All the evidence indicates that his motivation, intentions and actions were genuinely aimed at defending and protecting and rendering aid.

What does ADA Binger hope to achieve through his unprofessional behavior? Is Branca right -- that the purpose of being such a flaming asshole is merely to provoke Kyle into an angry outburst?

Can that possibly be the sum and substance of the prosecution's strategy?

If so, heaven help me and mine if one is is ever hauled in front of a court like this. For a case that is obviously one of self-defense.

#2 The logic behind this prosecution is anarcho-tyranny.

The Rittenhouse incident happened after days of Kenosha being under attack by an arsonist mob while law enforcement and the legal system remained passive.

#3

When Government Legal staff apply a Political Agenda in a prosecution, over established Common Law Legal Practices.

Such person(s) should be charged with Federal and State Civil Rights violations and prohibited from ANY future government employment or related activities.

#4 Huge Development — ‘Rittenhouse team just asked the Judge for a mistrial with prejudice’

Which, IF granted, KILLS any retrial on these charges.

If granted Remember then there is the frequently and liberally used DOJ backdoor of Civil Right charges to by-pass the jury.

#5 Yes, I fear Rit's court challenges may have just begun. It's not about him per se. It's about self-defense, firearms, and support for continued anarchy.

#6 During his testimony yesterday -- about four or fuce hours' worth of questioning in the stand -- the young man reached the derailed, point by point description of the first attempt by the raging anarchists to kill him. As he described their frenzied screams, the gunshots in his direction, and the deranged charge of the berserker who has repeatedly vowed to kill him and also "tear his f--ing heart out," this extraordinarily brave young man broke down. The video is heart-wrenching. His convulsive sobs caused the judge to clear the courtroom for ten minutes.

Could it be that, at that moment, this young was sobbing for us? From the realization that his country has descended into a nightmare of anarchy and political show trials?

Was this patriotic and noble young man overwhelmed by the sudden awareness that chaos is come, that the righteous law-abiding American citizen is now hunted down as Europe's Jews were in the lands where brownshirts roamed freely, supported by a fascist state?

Shame on this prosecutor.

Shame on this administration and on all the Democrats and their Republican stooges who have supported this racial hoax.

Shame on the despicable bastards who have brought our nation into this nightmare.

#7 The prosecution's case seems to be so poorly executed that one might suspect it is on purpose. Could it be the ADA is trying to obtain some form of justice for KR without offending his boss or the mob in the process?

#8 #2 The logic behind this prosecution is anarcho-tyranny.

Yes, that fits. Perfect description of the Wokesters' use of BLM-Antifa violence these last 17 months*. Thanks

* Actually, it began with Ferguson and Obama-Holder.

#9 When when police and fire protection are inadequate, when rioters are allowed to burn and loot, surprise, surprise, citizens come out of the woodwork to defend their property and businesses. None of this would have happened if the mayor of Kenosha and the governor of Wisconsin had been doing the jobs the people elected them to do. They are the ones who should be on trial for misfeasance.

But the bigger issue is all the rioting that took place all across the country that summer, sparked by the death of a black drug addict who died in police custody from a combination of resisting arrest and drug overdose. Democrats and even some Republicans either vilified police or remained silent, often encouraging the riots, while the mainstream media denied the violence and claimed that rioters who burned and looted were actually "mostly peaceful protesters".

Why? Do they really want to destroy America so they can Build Back Better? I think we all know what they really want to build and it won't be better.

#10 * Actually, it began with Ferguson and Obama-Holder.

Actually, it began with Rodney King and George Bush Sr. We don't think of the elder Bush as a Build Back Better type but his chickenshit treatment of the LAPD set the tone that Obama merely followed.

People gonna riot every time a black man gets hurt or killed resisting arrest? Quell the damn riots. There is no excuse to do otherwise. Do NOT pander to BLM loudmouths and trouble makers. Responsible members of minority communities understand that they benefit from law and order just like whites. Do NOT pander to the Jessie Jacksons and Al Sharptons. Do NOT allow anarchy and chaos to destroy America.

Also, call out the mainstream media when they fan the flames with 10-second video clips that purport to show how bad the police are treating supposedly innocent black men who, in reality, are drug addicted criminals who need to go to jail. Tell the truth about what really happened and how dishonest and irresponsible some of these media types are.

#12 Yes. This cringeing behavior about one particular race and all its pathologies, our self-flagellation in the face of extraordinary criminality and dysfunction, is our national Achilles' Heel.

All the members of our elite classes, be they left, right, Woke or traditional, D or R, old-money country club or bohemian yupppie -- all of them to a man or woman suffer from this pathology of race-masochism. Nothing is more terrifying, no bogeyman haunts their dreams more, than to be accused, regardless of evidence or logic, of being rayciss.

A million or more opportunists and race hustlers see this and batten upon it. And now they hold the whip hand, and are simply looting and pillaging -- not just the lumpen in the streets but also the race-hustling extortionists terrorizing the boardrooms, newsrooms, faculty lounges and the entire apparat of the administrative state.

We Americans did this to ourselves.

We have only our masochism and weird psychopathic race-obsessions to blame.

#13 White people are just as involved in this as the BLM (see Joe Biden, the District Attorney's, etc etc etc).

The bottom line is society in the US today is wicked as hell.

#16 The prosecution's case seems to be so poorly executed that one might suspect it is on purpose.

Or maybe the prosecutor feels he is so far behind that he wants a mistrial and a chance for a 'do-over.'

#17 Glenmore, if he isn't careful, he's going to get the case dismissed with prejudice.
Of course, then the riots will break out.
And the feds will trump up civil rights cases against Rittenhouse.

#18 The guy is beginning to remind me of Mike Nifong--the DA who botched the Duke lacrosse team case so badly that even a Democratic Attorney General had to step in to stop the circus.

#19 All started because a drug user high on drugs fought with 3 officers. One went to prison. If Rittenhouse goes to jail for defending himself from the same type of thugs, the dam will break.

#20 I'd assumed the prosecutor was buying insurance against Antifa/BLM attacks for failing to win.
