1. Probable cause?

As in, he's probably a racist, white-supremist, under-the-legal-age-to-own-a-firearm murderer?

[The Blue Flower]

3. Seriously

How can there not be? There's no question that he murdered two people.

[marble falls]

8. Even murdering thugs doing their murders on video get due process. Let the law run it's course.

[Hortensis]

11. Right. And we're seeing the expected result. To trial

on all 6 counts.

I notice he's been out on $2 million bail. "Grassroots" fundraising could raise $2 million to buy a puppy for a billionaire if it claimed to be to fight evil Democratic socialism or corporatism depending on the passionate idiots targeted.

[marble falls]

16. Blame Ricky Schoeder (yep, that Ricky Schoeder) and an attorney whose name eludes me.

[Hortensis]

17. Ok. Fortunately I was never a fan and won't need to edit him out. :)

I mostly avoid amap knowing anything about entertainers themselves since it's spoiled so many for me.

[marble falls]

21. I liked him in Lonesome Dove.

[Hortensis]

25. Yes, and the trick for me was not knowing this about him.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. Awe seriously? Was he Newt?

[marble falls]

34. Yup. Capt Coll wuz his daddy.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. Aye God Woodrow. Great book and movie.

[crickets]

19. I think it was Ricky Schroder and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

I'm so glad you mentioned an attorney though, because it turns out Lin Wood is one of Rittenhouse's lawyers. He's the one who helped set up The Fight Back Foundation that they donated to. Good grief. Nobody could even make up the stuff that's been going on this year. It's crazy.

[marble falls]

37. Why was it so important to let this little tweek walk free?

[Xipe Totec]

13. Probable, as it can be proven objectively. nt

[Cha]

2. I would hope so.

[Gothmog]

4. Revoke this idiots bail-he is a flight risk

[marble falls]

23. I think that was the intent of the two million bond. Who'da thunk somebody'd go the bail?

[brush]

5. Funny how Wisconsin authorities didn't go through the phony grand jury route...

like in the Breonna Taylor killing. The judge made the obvious decision that that little killer has to stand trial instead of letting some tricky DA tailor a case designed to get a no bill from a grand jury which would get the defendant off.

[Bettie]

6. He killed white people

I'd like to believe it wouldn't make a difference, but...

[brush]

7. God! You're right. I hadn't thought of that.

[Budi]

9. K & R

😒

[localroger]

10. He's also not a cop nt

[Evolve Dammit]

35. but they were radical, counter-culture, rabid leftist Antifa protest white people. Not really white.

[pandr32]

12. Good! Please proceed.

[lunatica]

14. Will his defense be Stand Your Ground?

I wonder.

“It was self defense your Honor”. “I was just minding my business and those guys tried to take my god given gun away.”

His donors and brethren will show up and probably riot, thinking they will intimidate the judge and prosecutors. Maybe they’ll come up with a slogan for their cause. Something about the freedom to hump their guns.

[Wellstone ruled]

15. Yes,that will be part of his defense.

Understand he will also use threat of harm by a mob. Watch the Geroge Flloyd Killers court filings for directions as to how his defense runs their show.

[lunatica]

22. Yeah, we've seen this story with Zimmerman

But then, the difference is he shot and killed white people. So it’s not a given.

[USALiberal]

18. I can see one juror gun nut thinking it is self defense! nt

[wnylib]

20. I can see gun nuts lined up outside

the courthouse with guns prominently displayed, demanding to carry their guns in as spectators to monitor the trial in the name of assurring justice.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. It's 2020 -- they might bring tanks

Might be Soviet surplus or old Shermans from VFW post lawns instead of Abrams tanks, but they might show up with tanks.

And zombies. Can't ignore the possibility of zombies this year.

What does it take to declare today January 20, 2021?

[kirkuchiyo]

27. a 48 day long nap? nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. Won't work -- the evil amongst us will not sleep.

[wnylib]

29. On declaring today January 20, 2021,

I have mixed feelings, whether today or the actual date.

I look forward enthusiastically to the Biden-Harris administration, to competence, leadership, and the changes this country needs.

I am also wary, though of what the cult and their leader will do as the reality of it materializes before their eyes. Demonstrations, no doubt, and if that's all that happens, I'm ok with it. We had our own inaugural demonstrations in 2016. But they're such a nutty group that you never know what else they might do.

[Sneederbunk]

26. He with the AR-15 was very very afraid.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

28. Hey Ricky Schroder, how you like them apples...

Seems like your guy is getting all the due process he deserves, you snowflake!

[NBachers]

31. He's going by Rick these days, but I always choose the diminutive name.

[Crunchy Frog]

40. To me, he'll always be Little Lord Fauntleroy.

[Darkstar53142]

32. As a Kenoshian...

...we’re still boarded up like a war zone because of the two impending trials.

[Evolve Dammit]

36. keep us posted. Welcome to DU!

[iluvtennis]

38. Let him have his due process and then lock his ass up. that is all. nt
