But lately on Fake News, polls showed that Americans are fed up with rioting, and rightly blame Libtards, so now Dems did an about face and are telling their fellow Libtards to stop rioting or they will lose in Nov.

GiveSendGo currently hosts fundraisers for two other accused gunmen: Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old charged with first-degree murder for allegedly shooting and killing two people in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during protests against the police shooting of Jacob Blake; and Rusten Sheskey, the Kenosha officer who shot Jacob Blake. The campaigns have raised over $500,000 and $30,000 respectively.

"There are a number of outstanding issues with discovery, DNA testing and some other issues that need to be taken care of. There are also some logistics with regards to the eventual jury that need to be hammered out," said Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.

In Tense Hearing, Kyle Rittenhouse Defense Convinces Judge to Throw Out Significant Portions of the Goverment’s Case
Colin Kalmbacher 9/17/2021

It was an all-but ugly day in court for the prosecutors hoping to put Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse behind bars on six counts, including murder. During a lengthy evidentiary hearing, the defense scored victory after victory while the government was increasingly frustrated at the judge’s rulings in favor of the defendant.

Assistant District Attorney Thomas C. Binger argued that the defendant is a “teenage vigilante” — and a “violent vigilante” at that. But that was precisely the problem with the state’s evidence, according to Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder.

The government quickly lost two motions to introduce two pieces of evidence outright. The first piece of evidence showed that Rittenhouse attacked a woman who was involved in an altercation with his sister in June 2020. The second showed that Rittenhouse has various affiliations with the far-right Proud Boys organization.

In both instances, the judge ruled that the government’s offered evidence would be far more prejudicial than it was worth.

“I would be reversed,” Schroeder said — anticipating an appellate court’s decision about the merits of such evidence.

The court opined that deadly shooting of August 2020 was “nothing like the incident involving the sister” two months prior and was “exactly the kind of evidence the rule is designed to prohibit.”

Under the Wisconsin Rules of Evidence, “evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice” or if it causes “confusion of the issue” a jury is called to determine. Rittenhouse’s attorneys have admitted their client pulled the trigger; the teen killed two and injuring one. His attorneys claim their client acted in self-defense. Therefore, the legal case is shaping up to focus on whether Rittenhouse was justified in “terminating” what he “reasonably believe[d] to be an unlawful interference with his . . . person.” That standard requires a probing and focused look at whether Rittenhouse’s thinking in the moment.

...

Arguably the largest setback for the government came over a request to show jurors a video of Rittenhouse expressing his desire to shoot a Black man who exited a CVS pharmacy because he thought the man was shoplifting. The defense conceded the facts about the video – admitting it was the defendant’s voice on and that he was referring to the same gun he later used to kill two people – but still requested that the evidence be kept far away from jurors in the case.

“Bro, I wish I had my fucking AR,” Rittenhouse says. “I’d start shooting rounds at them.”

The defendant, however, did not use a weapon but instead dialed 911 about his concerns as to the man at the pharmacy.

... “Once again, I think the evidence is too dissimilar,” the judge ruled while repeatedly deciding that the CVS video evidence only really goes toward “propensity” and was only being used to support the notion that Rittenhouse is a “vigilante killer.”

“The [incidents] are too dissimilar,” Schroeder continued. “He makes some threatening statements for sure. Statements. Then he takes a proper action. ‘Threatening’ is probably the wrong word.”

Binger then shot back in increasingly livid and furious tones — his dissatisfaction with the judge apparent — by saying the evidence was “crucial” for jurors and “identical” because “in both situations the defendant is taking the law into his own hands.”

“He’s making assumptions,” the attorney continued. “He’s talking about taking the law into his own hands and shooting his AR-15.”

“The events are so totally dissimilar,” the judge finally said back. “It gets down to propensity evidence to show that he’s a violent vigilante and he’s gonna act in accordance with what a violent vigilante will do.”

In the end, the judge said he would definitely rule against the inclusion of the evidence if he had to do so immediately — but that he didn’t, so he said he would reserve his judgment for the trial stage of the prosecution.

The government also lost two motions to compel the defendant to produce the names of donors to two separate foundations set up for Rittenhouse’s legal defense — one of which involved attorney L. Lin Wood. But in each case, the judge said he was open to issuing a direct subpoena.

Additionally, the government, again audibly shocked and appalled, lost out on a bid to note that Rittenhouse’s gun was purchased using stimulus money because, in the judge’s words, those facts were being used “to denigrate” the admitted killer over how he spent his money.

One small ray of light for the government on the motions came when the judge denied a defense request to introduce evidence that one of the men Rittenhouse shot and killed had prior child sex crimes convictions — again noting the prejudicial nature of that evidence.

But one new piece of evidence discussed at the hearing may prove to be instrumental for the state’s case against the 18-year-old. Near the end of the hearing, amidst a detailed back-and-forth discussion about who began the chase that turned deadly on the night in question, the government revealed they have a video from an “FBI” aircraft that shows Rittenhouse initiating hostilities against Joseph Rosenbaum. The defense said they hadn’t seen that evidence before.

The irony is that a key element of self-defense is the reasonableness of a person’s actions under the circumstances. There was absolutely nothing reasonable about anything that happened in Kenosha that night — from a 17-year-old high school dropout playing self-deputized peacekeeper with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, to the adults who enabled him, to the law enforcement personnel who failed to send them all home, to the rioters who set fires and brought their own guns to protest the shooting of a Black man by a white police officer.

Rittenhouse Witness Blows Case For Prosecution, Admits He Pointed Gun, Advanced First
Monday, Nov 08, 2021 - 02:04 PM

A star witness for the prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial just blew the entire case for the prosecution, after he admitted to pointing his own gun at Rittenhouse before the teen shot his bicep off.

"It wasn't until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him, with your gun - now your hand's down, pointed at him - that he fired, right?" the defense asked witness Gaige Grosskreutz. To which he replied:

"Correct..."
