Rittenhouse trial to start soon, Judge is laying out rules.

[sportage]

I still can not believe that everything EVERYTHING must flows thru Trump, or that is to say filtered thru the Trump filter, and now including this trial. What we eat, where we shop, building roads, getting vaccines, wearing masks, no matter what the subject it must be a case of what would Trump do? What would Trump think? What direction would Trump go?

I say this because right wing media is indeed making this trial into a Trump thing. Into a NRA thing. Into a BLMatters thing. Fox News began covering every inch, every moment of this trial the very moment this trial turned into a Trump thing. Some misguided protestor on the steps of the courthouse suggesting " this is about gun rights ", and right there Fox grabbed hold turning this entire trial into pro vs anti Donald Trump. As Ronald Reagan once said... there they go again.

I'm glad the bailiff did, as that's the only circumstance that I would trust that I *knew* there was no round in the chamber. We literally just had a circumstance where a firearm that was definitely no-kidding for realsies clear of rounds fire a fucking bullet and hit two people, or did we all forget that so quickly? It still should have had a bolt cable or a trigger lock on it. Didn't we all learn growing up that every firearm is loaded?

Most likely, which is idiotic, irresponsible, and probably a few more adjectives I'm too disturbed/pissed off to think of right now.

I assume that means every firearm that you don't know(haven't seen) is thoroughly checked is loaded.

I like how KR supporters say Kyle’s dad lives in Kenosha blah, blah, blah. Has his father even showed up at the trial? No one has mentioned it if he has.

Meanwhile, the 'Judge' is still whining about being called out as an asswipe:

The judge at Kyle Rittenhouse's murder trial says he'll “think long and hard” about allowing televised trials in the future."

How do we know the judge is probably a trumper?
His ringtone
The fact that he’s a snowflake complaining just like trumpets do.

I'd say it's more just that he has a glaringly obvious bias toward Rittenhouse and against the rioters. The sort who'd probably wear a Blue Lives Matter shirt in court if he thought he could get away with it.

Without checking the firearm myself, I assume it's loaded. I also prefer to have guns handed to me with the action or bolt open.

I know this has come up recently somewhere else, but within professional environments, only certain persons are authorized to inspect a weapon for safety. And it would in fact be a safety violation if an unauthorized person inspected the weapon again after the authorized person had cleared it.

As much of a circus this trial has been, it’s not a movie set. If I get handed a gun, I personally clear it every time. It was a bad practice, but hardly a bombshell.

And if you did that, the weapon would have to go back to the bailiff for them to clear it again.

 

[JEDIYoda]

yadayadayada crooked judge.....

 

[rommelrommel]

And if you did that, the weapon would have to go back to the bailiff for them to clear it again.

That’s just an assertion. We don’t know what the protocol for the court is. I’ve carried professionally and done force on force and have never heard of not being personally responsible for the firearm you’re handling.

Rittenhouse lawyers ask judge to declare mistrial over video

Kyle Rittenhouse's attorneys have asked the judge to declare a mistrial before the jury reaches a decision, saying the defense received an inferior copy of a key video from prosecutors

So do violent right-wing psychopaths who like to use riots and crime as a convenient excuse to get away with murder.
Seems like you really want America to become like Brazil or El Salvador.
BTW, as I recall, your beloved God-emperor tweeted that everyone who didn't vote for him was "scum." So much for your professed love of free speech.

So far the trial isn't over. Who?

 

[imported_tajmahal]

Because he's another right winger that hates law enforcement.

I usually support police and prosecutors, but i don't pretend they are without fault, bias or bigotry. Each case is it's own case and should be handled by what the law and the constitution says.

Because of right wing nutbags like this:

Far-Right Boogaloo Admits Shooting Up Cop Station Amid Floyd Protests


A member of the far-right Boogaloo Boys had admitted he traveled from Texas to Minneapolis in the wake of George Floyd’s death and purported to be a Black Lives Matter supporter while wreaking havoc on the city. https://www.thedailybeast.com/texas-boogaloo-fired-ak-at-minneapolis-police-precinct-feds-say, 24, pleaded guilty Thursday to a single count of rioting. He admitted to firing 13 rounds from an AK-47-style rifle into the 3rd Precinct police station as rioters set the building alight in May 2020. He was then filmed yelling “Justice for Floyd!”

I'm not sure why you guys refuse to acknowledge these acts that both start and fuel riots.

This wasn't an isolated incident. ANYONE can pretend to be BLM/ANTIFA.

Anyone can pretend to be booger boys too.

 

[sportage]

This judge dare imply that he may not allow cameras into his courtroom(s) in the future.
Does anyone really believe THAT?
This judge is so media starved that when the judge had Rittenhouse chose from a bucket those who would judge him, I'm surprised one of the prizes in the bucket was not a Pinto. COME ON DOWN RITTENHOUSE, YOU WON A BRAND NEW 1971 GMC PINTO. DING DING DING
NOW LITTLE BOY, RUN TO THE ARMS OF GAME SHOW HOST, DADDY JUDGE.

 

[imported_tajmahal]

What are you concerned about? That he will pull the trigger and a non-existent bullet will fly out and kill someone? There is a lack of critical thinking and suspension of reality about this that is very disturbing. The gun was checked into evidence. It is inspected and tagged and made inoperable. There is no magazine. Then before it is handed to anyone, the bailiff again checks there is no bullet in the chamber. He does this very visibly. So no bullet in the chamber and no magazine. Where is a bullet supposed to come from?

Alec Baldwin was sure it had been checked too.

Boy you love being wrong don’t you? They made the motion today, this one without prejudice.

Are people really still going on about this stuff? A court room or movie set isn't the same as your fucking backyard or range. Just stop you look stupid

Yep, they also filed this one, without prejudice. I was wrong. First mistake i made in an hour or so.

Correct, that's how I was raised anyhow. Hence why I wouldn't put my finger in that guard and point it at people.

Hell I'd just assume the bailiff was incompetent and not do it even there.

But in this case, he knew it was thoroughly checked as the plaintiff diligently checked it in front of him. I'm all for gun safety, but guns aren't magical things. The danger is the bullet in them. If you have verified that there is no bullet and no magazine in it, it is no longer dangerous (well if you're not a black man carrying it ).
