1. So, he's guilty

[riversedge]

5. no, the tweet just implies self-defense.

[lame54]

13. Is he a warrior or a victim?

[riversedge]

36. my guess is that his lawyer wants us to believe both

[Sherman A1]

11. Seems like it to me

[snowybirdie]

2. My, my

aren't we full of self importance!

[gratuitous]

3. Is John Pierce aware of who is President right now?

By definition, I think, a revolution is supposed to be against the established order. When the established order is randomly killing its own citizens, that is the action of a tyrant.

[ScratchCat]

15. Its just more of their self-concocted bizarro-world

Where they are the victims no matter what they do or who they kill.

[Leith]

41. Are we sure that

chumpy himself knows who the president is?

Rittenhouse's lawyer thinks his client is starting a revolution against... the guy he supports as president? Shit, that makes no sense at all.

[Laelth]

4. Um ... but Rittenhouse was fighting for the tyrants. n/t

[Nevilledog]

6. Details details.

[Laelth]

32. I know.

We can’t let the truth get in the way of creative fiction.

7. One if by QAnon, Two if by Klan

n/t

[obamanut2012]

30. hahaha

[JHB]

8. "Your honor, these charges persecute my client's religious freedom...

...to be an insurrectionist."

[Thekaspervote]

9. That's all we need an idiot attorney shooting his mouth off cause wants to make a name for himself

[DavidDvorkin]

12. It's certainly not what his client needs

So I'm okay with it.

[Freedomofspeech]

10. Did this jackass get his law degree from Trump University?

This is just unbelievable....

[COLGATE4]

24. Probably from Regent, the fundie law factory

[obamanut2012]

33. Probs the unaccredited Liberty law school n/t

[Initech]

45. He was probably in the next cell over.

[ScratchCat]

14. This is sad, because the kid is a human being

And he needs a legitimate attorney. I don't know how he got hooked up with this nutball, but he is being taken advantage of. He needs a real attorney who will convince him to accept a plea which allows for parole in 15-20 years. There is no 2A issue here. He was a minor illegally possessing a firearm and thus had no right to self defense or a "constitutional right" to shoot anyone in THIS instance. While 1DM is not legally appropriate here, a lesser charge which includes the intent to kill is. This crazy ass is going to get his client convicted of 2DM with a life sentence if he keeps up this nonsense.

[ismnotwasm]

37. Probably paypal

And other sources. A lot of money in this.

He started with a public defender. He was a disturbed kid who was bullied out of high school, and gravitated towards cops. I think he was trying for a youth academy and ride alongs. In his mind, cops protected him. He adored the police.


This is why the RWs use him and idolize him. Of all the disgusting things they do, using the fuck out of this kid because he committed murder, and they gleefully watch is the RW ideology in a nutshell.

[Goodheart]

16. Does this jackass even know what the word "tyranny" means?

[struggle4progress]

17. "Get Elizabeth II's knee off America's neck!"

[DFW]

18. Yeah, you might want to note a small difference, counsellor

The shot heard round the world was fired at an oppressive occupying colonial power. Your client‘s shot was fired at an unarmed citizen of the state he was living in—a state thar your client does NOT live in, by the way.

By historical comparison, your boy‘s murderous action was „the shot heard round the block,“ and even then, only if one had no earphones with Van Halen streaming.

[intheflow]

31. Exactly what I was going to say. The Red Coats fired first.

But nice to know they continue to publicly identify with oppressors.

[Whiskeytide]

19. So he's like a British colonialist loyal to ...

... the tyrant king and killing American Revolutionaries? Got it.

[peggysue2]

20. Revolutionary War??

Sorry. This analogy is off base because Rittenhouse is not the 'brave, unknown patriot, he's a illegal, citizen soldier for the Mad King. This kid's lawyer fits right into the Q-mix. Disgusting. There is no defense for this kid's actions. He murdered two people and wounded a third. This wasn't a revolutionary act; it was a crime.

[Solly Mack]

21. Yeah, OK.

Idiots all.

[Nevilledog]

22. How's the coffee situation? You good?

[Solly Mack]

23. I'm good. Got the coffee hookup one of the first things. lol

Thanks!

Got a generator and now my phone, laptop, and mobile hotspot can stay charged. yes!

No TV though. Still no power.

[Nevilledog]

27. I just can't imagine.

But I'd probably be okay with coffee and internet...... Stay safe and hope you're unexpectedly surprised by the power being turned on early.

[Solly Mack]

29. That is what I told my husband. Coffee and internet and I'm good.

Also cooling the house with the generator. That helps a lot too. lol

Less cranky. Still disgusted.

[TheRealNorth]

25. So does that mean we can just classify him as an "enemy combatant"

and ship him off to Gitmo?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

26. This kid needs a lawyer who has his best interests in mind, and it's clear he doesn't.

[Autumn]

28. Bullshit. His client murdered two people in cold blood.

[ananda]

34. AKA The Shot That Went Around the Corner

...

[Celerity]

35. here is the actual tweet btw, just so no one thinks it was a stitch-up job

[Midnight Writer]

38. The lawyer is tainting the jury pool. He only has to convince one for an acquittal.

[Nevilledog]

43. 1 for hung jury/mistrial. Unanimous for guilty/not guilty.

[Buckeyeblue]

39. He fired a shot in support of tyranny

A police state is not freedom.

40. Pierce Bainbridge Leader John Pierce Is On Leave Amid Financing Questions

Pierce Bainbridge Leader John Pierce Is On Leave Amid Financing Questions
By Jack Newsham | March 10, 2020 at 10:04 AM

Pierce Bainbridge Beck Price & Hecht founder John Pierce is on a leave of absence from the firm as an internal investigation showed he accepted money from a lender for personal use, according to a statement from a law firm spokeswoman Monday.

“A preliminary investigation has revealed that John M. Pierce accepted money from Karish Kapital LLC for his personal use. Mr. Pierce is on an indefinite leave of absence from the firm,” said Holly Baird, who identified herself as a spokeswoman representing the firm.

Baird later sought to eliminate the “indefinite” description from the statement but provided no details on the length of the leave. She said partner Tom Warren has taken over as acting managing partner “as the firm continues its investigation.”

42. Of course he is. I looked at his feed and it's a grift-a-rama.

[Initech]

44. Oh fuck off asshole! This guy should not be celebrated, he's a murderer.

And he should be treated the same way we treat murderers in society. The fact that this is even being debated is another symptom of this sorry-ass administration.

[tblue37]

46. This lawyer isn't helping his client! nt
