Anyone else think there's something fishy about the Rittenhouse trial?
I dunno. This whole trial seems as if it was rigged from the beginning. You have Thomas Binger, a prosecutor who has made some mistakes that probably no first week law student would even make, and a openly biased judge seemingly hellbent on doing whatever it takes to move the trial in the direction of either a mistrial with prejudice or an acquittal for Cryin' Kyle.
Binger's motives for what appears to be him purposely tanking parts of Rittenhouse's prosecution would be especially interesting to explore, particularly If he has any future plans to enter politics. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Binger's primary motive for botching things up is to try and give himself plausible deniability to any future critics from the left about his mishandling of this case. He can always fall back on the old excuse of "Well, I tried my best. Blame the judge and/or jury".
Would anyone be really shocked if it was learned later on that (so-called) Judge Schroeder and Thomas Binger made some kind of arrangement before the trial that would ensure an acquittal of Rittenhouse while preserving Binger's reputation for any future political career?
There's definitely something amiss here. We'll know for certain if something shady was afoot if this obvious murderer and unabashed white supremacist walks free.

While courts manage to convict black people in the absence of any direct evidence of anything?
I'm sure there's nothing to see here, move along.
Republicans tell me institutional racism is a thing if the past. Oh, I mean it never existed.
That's later, when he shot him. The photo capture was earlier, documenting that Rittenhouse was the aggressor/instigator, removing any imprimatur of self-defense.
As David Forsyth, a professor of computer science at the University of Illinois stated:
There is 'no way' that any means of enlarging a photograph will “create structures, objects, people, handguns”
You simply haven't seen the photo captures large enough and close enough as others have.
They assumed, and rightly so, that Rittenhouse was an active shooter, soon to be a mass shooter. Under those conditions, you utilize anything available to stop such a person and prevent additional deaths.
That was later when he shot him.

We now have video proof that Rosenbaum was NOT the aggressor, and that Rittenhouse was brandishing, threatening, provoking, unarmed civilians with an assault rifle.
