And the cell phone belonged to Judge Totally Unbiased? And it played Donald Trump's walk on song....Lee Greenwood, Proud to Be An American.

In all fairness, Judge Totally Unbiased would not allow the victims to be called victims, or allow prejudicial information like little Kyle's long history of juvenile delinquency, including assault on a woman that took five guys to pull him off. Or hitting a girl for refusing a date. Or wanting to shoot shoplifters. Because law and order ya know.

I was curious about Judge Schroeder. I was actually wondering if he was Ricky Schroeder's great-great-grandfather or something.

He was originally placed on the bench in 1983 by a Democratic governor and later won the election. If that Governor is still alive, I'll bet he is regretting that decision.

And the mother? They keep showing her, but how about showing the survivors of the victims and how hard they are crying?

Do you suppose that this fellow will fool the jury? .

The prosecutor hammered this fact home during opening statements that with all of the unrest in Kenosha on the evening of August 25th 2020 only two people were killed and they were killed by Rittenhouse.

Killer Kyle.

Admitted under oath...
*He saw no weapons in the first murders he did.
*He heard a gun shot or fire cracker so decided to shoot at
people walking up that were unarmed.
*Then shot a man's bicepts off because he walked up
holding a gun not pointed at him and tried to get him to
put his gun down.
*Ran past the cops and said someONE had been shot, didn't
say he was the person who shot.
*DID NOT TURN HIMSELF IN AS A VICTIM UNTIL SOCIAL
MEDIA OUTED HIM!

And this country, that allowed, nay voted a walking POS sexual predator conman and his family of grifters as POTUS show me things HAVE NOT changed that much.

Deer hunting season here... can I go out in the woods just to see what is going on and maybe help some stranded person? Why would I bring a gun along if I wasn't going to shoot a deer? Just to look cool to other hunters? Why will anyone believe someone brings a gun anywhere if they have no intention of using it? Every year someone gets shot hunting, and it is not an excuse that you were afraid. If it takes a license and training for people to walk around a woods with a gun, why did this kid get to walk down the street with one and have no one ask why? Sounds like it is safer to be in the woods with deer hunters than with conservatives. Although they are likely the same people. They should know better then?

After all the TV lights are turned off, and he is either found guilty or innocent, and the public's attention has moved on...

Someone someday will more them likely kill him. Either in a bar altercation, while committing a petty crime, him trying once again to be MR. Vigilante, or by a jealous inmate. Or perhaps by a woman he will try to molest.

And it will be reported on page 43 of the Kenosha Times. Not many will give one caring shit about him.

Another sad footnote of TFG's deadly lies.

I feel bad for the victims, and their families and friends...not a bit for this sorry piece of protoplasmic trash or his family, friends and supporters.

If I walked by any of them drowning, I would keep walking. Seriously. And I am known as a very caring, compassionate person.

But I have a heart of stone when it coms to shitholes like him.
