What a waste of a young life for service to the hard right cause.

What a horrible thing and waste what he did.

All for what? I'll tell you want: Trump.

13. He will definitely make bail.

There's too much Gundamentalist hype behind his cause.

I doubt he'll be convicted, even on Man 2, personally. There will be Jury Nullification, just like for the Bundys and the Hokoanas.

"The prosecutor said Rittenhouse was a considerable flight risk because he lacked ties to Kenosha.

The father of one of the victims asked the court to hold Rittenhouse on $10 million bond.

He said Rittenhouse's case has energized militia members who have been raising money for him.

Rittenhouse's attorney denied those claims."

15. It was one of Rittenhouse's friends who made a straw purchase, not his mother

With any luck, the straw purchaser will also be hit with some significant charges, being as how he took the little killer across state lines and provided him with the murder weapon.
