Wisconsin does not have the death penalty.



We can and do tie things in a knot to support our point of view. We all do that.

The death penalty is obviously another complex issue issue that people will not agree on.
We think, we expect, we demand PERFECT-it does not exist.

Coincidence? It took the jury almost a week to find Rittenhouse not guilty. The verdict on friday. All three shot have records as being criminals. The police were close by, they didn't hear the shots? Or did they chose not to hear the shots?

It had to go to trial. Trial by riot. I hope I will be surprised by our people, by our news people and our leaders.

I would argue that they are not our "leaders", they are our "representatives" and our "public servants".

MSNBC & CNN should also be “sanctioned” for their coverage of the trial. Even after the verdict they only interviewed people who disagreed with the verdict and agreed with them that he was guilty. MSNBC was actually kicked out of the courtroom because of the actions of one of their producers. Both channels are not real NEWS channels, just liberal opinion channels.

I'm sure Fox was unbiased, correct?

Unfortunately, some do not understand that.

It is important to remember as well that none of this was spur-of-the-moment. This jury deliberated for the better part of four days before delivering their verdict. I think we can assume with confidence that justice was done.

Whether or not we agree with the verdict is, in the end, superfluous. What I hope we all CAN agree on though is that, even with it's flaws, America still has the best justice system on the planet.

your comment deserves a standing ovation, :bigbow:

KENOSHA, Wis., Nov 8 (Reuters) - The only protester shot by Kyle Rittenhouse to survive testified on Monday that he believed the U.S. teenager was an "active shooter" and was trying to disarm Rittenhouse when a bullet from the teen's semi-automatic rifle severed part of his arm.

He is of course a lying thug. He has even hit his grandmother in the face. Sole survivor of Rittenhouse shootings has criminal past: report

Ah, but we all know that he would not lie in court, especially if that lie was instrumental in getting a plea deal on his charge of carrying a pistol with an expired license. :shocked:

The burden was not met.

He was asked to go and protect property, and was armed to protect the property and himself from violent rioters, looters and arsonists. Turns out he needed that rifle or he would now be dead at the hands of violent thugs with lengthy criminal records.

Sad for everyone involved. No winners

A great example of everyone needing to verify what the read in the paper or see on TV news before believing it. The untruths coming from every side is breathtaking.

I disagree. The winners here are those who believe in law and order. I can guarantee you that those rioters are going to think twice the next time, if they think they have carte blanche to burn, loot and destroy.

Wow! I had no idea others without weapons were killed "at the hands of violent thugs"
How many were killed?? Do you think everyone should carry weapons in the future?

While there were plenty of losers - the corrupt prosecutor, the MSM, Rosenbaum, and Huber to name a few. There were winners - the 2nd A, Rittenhouse, and the right to self defense.
