Just curious if any of you are or have been watching the trial live streams or following it. I have been for the past few days when I have free time. I'm not going to offer any opinions but will say it has been quite interesting.

Had it on in the background for all but Monday.
Prosecution hasn't presented much to convict, IMO.
Interesting to see the feds actually released footage from their fixed wing drone, but "lost" the HD version
Yep. Pretty sure the DA is actually working for the defense...he's sure making their job easy.
The Richie McGinnis back and forth got a bit interesting. The DA sure looked like he was getting pissed for a bit there
The prosecuting attorney is annoying as hell.
I like how the prosecution witnesses are actually supporting the self defense case.
Grouchy Complainers coming in 4...3.......2...........1.........
I care less crap about Rittdnhouse!
[LOL]
I picked up on that too.Quote:

So, I know there is a reason behind some of the questions being asked, but daaaaaaaaaang some of them just seem like such nonsense. Then they go and ask the same question several more times just worded different. Now I know why I didn't want to become a lawyer like my father and grandfather. LOL. I will start watching again when they get into the meat and potatoes of the trial. Enough about asking the car dealer owner what time and when and what damage was done to his building. And how much damage. And the cost. And if he had insurance..
I don't know what the prosecutor goofed on this time, but it's good to see Kyle smile ... if discretely.

They do that to see if a story changes, as well as time lines. Compared to original statements.Quote:

Should have never gone to trial. Mischaracterized chain of events has fallen apart under prosecution witness testimony. The media screed about Kyle bringing a gun across state lines got destroyed in the first day.
Pretty interesting to know the FBI is probably watching us from drones.
Yup . . . has been a political prosecution from the jump. Some of the DA's own witnesses have punched serious holes in an already ridiculously poor case. And that's aside from the completely obvious video evidence that Rittenhouse was attacked.Quote:

Prosecutor: "How do you know what was happening when pedo felon manlet caught up with Rittenhouse?"
Witness: "Well . . . he yelled 'f**k you!' and reached for the gun."
Rittenhouse put himself in a bad scenario that had a strong likelihood of blowing up, but that isn't a crime and he's a kid so he doesn't have enough experience to have the wisdom to avoid such situations.
What I saw on the numerous videos that came out after the night of these events was someone who was attacked and protected themselves from those attacks.
Does it suck that people had to lose their lives? Yes. But the lesson here is not to attack someone else - especially if you know they are armed. Stupid games/stupid prizes and all that.
Why we should all care about this case is because this is about our right to self defense. If Rittenhouse is found guilty of murder, how the rest of us protect ourselves from attack in the future will be subject to the same criteria used against Rittenhouse.

"Lost footage" is beyond by ability to comprehend in these situations. How does one keep faith in the integrity of the system or entity in question?
I'm guessing this is a rhetorical question and it's easy to infer and we all know the answer.Quote:

It shouldn't be a surprise that laws/regulation don't truly apply to the government itself.
can someone tell me (on the video time) or link of when Rittenhouse is smiling or laughing at the prosecutor's mess up?
I can’t wait for Rittenhouse to sue the pants off every media org that threw him under the bus. I hope he walks away a millionaire and lives a long, successful and peaceful life.
.... and go to law school as well.
This seems to fit the general pattern where leftist DAs go all out against white cops involved in good shots because they know the prosecution will lose and then BLM types can claim "Injustice! The system is rigged!" as an excuse for more looting.
It almost looks like the prosecution is throwing this case on purpose. But also, does anyone think the assistant DA in Kenosha is going to be one of those Summa cum laude from a prestigious ivy league law school type lawyers? Naw, bush league assistant DA losing his ass in a bad case that's only being tried because of political pressure is probably the real answer.
Unless the jury pool has been compromised.
Interesting....Quote:

Despite the assertions and assumptions in the redstate article that was linked, concerning the number of UAV's or the ability to be "in the right place, at the right time", there might have been multiple UAV's, but they didn't need multiples to be able to capture "right time/right place".
We get to hear arm spaghetti guy's perspective today
This dude just testified that he did not recall if there was a round In the pipe when he carried his Glock that night.
Smells like bullshit
It's hard to prove memory, and that makes it sound less intimidating...Quote:

Yep, not helping the narrative about back to normal. THough if the economy tries to die again like it did in Q3, we might see something. Also, with the SCOTUS gun cases expect more coverage of concealed assault pistols?Quote:

If someone points a gun at you, you must assume it's loaded and they mean you harm. Self defense is justified.
during the crime/mass murder/robbery,
"excuse me sir/ma'am, is the gun loaded?"
