I for one do not believe he shot them people out of self defence and never meant to kill them. I think he intended to kill them and thought he would get away with it. The Judge as well is a joke. What a very strange trial. Only in America.
I still don't get it why is that messed up? The footage came from an FBI drone so maybe VLC just has the codec to play the file while windows media player doesn't? I stopped using win media player along time ago.
From the video posted here it seems the given to defence was compressed and in a format that didn't play on Windows media player the default on most laptops.
So they had to download VlC player to play the video.
That is all messed up. IMO
😑
Well the go to program for playing the file/video would be Windows media player but this file was in a a format that it didn't work on that program so they used VlC player.
What's strange about that?
The prosecution sent a copy of the fbi drone footage to the defence team that was not the original. Someone on the defence team said it was created about 20 minutes after the original, according to the meta data. The prosecution tried to blame the defence for the 'accidental' compression of the file but it seems it was already compressed before being sent.
Where in my post did I say he was a Conservative himself?
Strange the the court had the prosecution fbi film in vlc format that wouldn't work on Microsoft media.
Hopefully we’ll have a result tomorrow.
Fox News will probably give him a show.
We don't even know if he is a conservative, or indeed how conservative.
Could be just a normal everyday kid who didn't want his father's town to be burned to the ground by scumbags pedophiles and racists like Rosenbum etc.
It's all assumptions. That's what the media have been filling people's heads with to build their narrative.
You seem to have been reeled in by it, hook line and sinker.
If Rittenhouse beats the charges against him, I wonder does he just keep the head down afterward, or does he do appearances at NRA conventions, or on conservative news outlets just going, "Yeah, well, I did what I had to do, and thank god for guns." 'cause there's money to be made in that, but the problem is that with the crying he did on the stand, it would take the sheen of him if he wanted to go that route. Every time he would talk about taking care of business, you'd have that mental image of him hyperventilating on the stand.
That one woman is probably getting on their nerves trying to convince them not to believe their lying eyes.
Hopefully there are enough principled people on the jury who will resist her ****. It only takes one really.
The defence should be shoring up their mistrial filing in the meantime and they should stick with prejudice.
The fact they finished an hour early would seem to me that they are either a, nowhere near making a decision or b, fed up in the jury room. Why on earth would they want to finish early and yet still bring the instructions home with them? Strange going ons in that jury room it seems.
Seems like the foreman is a woke “I want to speak to the manager” type who made her mind up a year ago based on CNN’s trash coverage and is now frustrated that people won’t just listen to her and send a kid to prison for life. So she’s going home with her little bit of paper to try and come up with an argument why clear self defence isn’t.
IMO the standard should be 10/12 to avoid letting ideologues trash cases like this.
If history is something to go by I'd say Christmas shopping may be planned in Kenosha
Jacob Blake - the guy they were rioting over - was not oppressed.
In fact, you could argue he was the oppressor.
He had sexually assaulted his girlfriend on multiple occasions. There was an outstanding warrant for his arrest on the night the police were called. He resisted arrest, and was brandishing a knife when the cops shot him.
Yet none of that matters to BLM or their backers, as any black guy shot by a white cop must be racially motivated or police brutality. Even if there isn't a shred of evidence to back up that narrative. And there wasn't because the cop wasn't even brought to trial over it - there was nothing to prosecute him over.
Media pressure has gotten Rittenhouse into a court room. They couldn't get the cop who shot Blake, so this 17 year old white kid will do instead. They want their pound of flesh one way or another.
The fact they are prepared to consistently interfere with the jury, also proves they have no interest in justice or fairness in society.
Unfortunately I can't predict the future or I'd be a very rich man. I've no idea if there'll be violence from either side depending on the result. What I do know is that the MSM and politicians have certainly stoked the flames on this and should be held to some sort of account for quite frankly disgusting behaviour.
The original post goes back to saying there would be no violence from the right and there would be from the left based on the Verdict.
Which is nonsense based on recent events.
Thats where this debate started.
Well... You with you earlier post and BLM.
Unless you think me saying race shouldn't be brought up in this case and criticising BLM is race baiting.
The other poster didn't do that, at least from my reading of the post. They stated violence from both sides was wrong. Both sides seem to have ramped up in recent years I think we can all agree. To what extent I have no idea but it's not healthy for society over there with so much animosity.
Acting his way to the chair
In the latest wtf moment...One of the jurors has asked to take a copy of their jurors instructions home with them and the judge has agreed....
Its bizarre all round..
Are deliberations running to the 4th day par for the course or?
Now who’s race bating!
If I think that what you stated as a fact is absolutely unprovable and pure race baiting, I know nothing about America?
I don't agree that Kyle would be a hero if he was black either, but I know that in the eyes of BLM zealots, black people are classed as heroes, saints or victims regardless of their actions (just once they don't ever criticise or oppose BLM in any way...)
BLM should not be anywhere near this trial. Race shouldn't be an issue in this trial. But here we are.
Not the one who brought up race.
If you think differently, you know nothing about the USA.
Agree completely.
But trying to paint one sides reaction as saintly is ridiculous!
The mafia etc intimidated juries for monetary gain, to pervert the course of justice.
What is very disturbing about many of these self declared progressives is that they genuinely believe that they are kind, empathic and good people fighting for justice. It's a level of narcissism that is unmatched in history.
That quasi religious certainty will eventually see some of them begin to kill those who are in the way of their visionary utopia.
It's a conversation for another thread but IMO political figures on both sides of the divide need to take a long hard look at themselves and seriously dial down the rhetoric.
Lol. What a ridiculous statement.
But yet you say it with impunity and state it as fact.
Race baiting at its most basic.
**** like this is helping nobody and hurting everyone.
Lol.
