Rittenhouse judge unloads wild rant about Black jurors after jury asks unrelated question

[634-5789]

"... it was a Black, the Black, the only Black."

Judge Bruce Schroeder defended his actions and attacked the media at a hearing on Wednesday after the jury asked an unrelated question about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

1. This judge is "quite frightening "

[Hav]

2. "Wild rant about black jurors", "it was a Black, the Black, the only Black."

Yeah right...what a stupid, dishonest framing of what was actually said.

6. Yes,

it is quite an absurd characterization of what happened (no matter what one might think otherwise of the judge).

BTW, my first real introduction to how venile the media can be was Time's depiction long ago of the Ali/Chevalo heavy weight fight. I still recall looking in disbelief at what I had just read, wondering if they and myself had seen the same fight. IIRC, things didn't get much better in future articles (on a variety of topics regarding things I had independent knowledge of).

7. Wonder what you'd say if the judge called Rittenhouse or anybody "The White"

He would be disbarred the next day, no doubt

12. What, exactly, was stupid and dishonest about it? n/t

14. When I hear that someone had a wild rant about black jurors,

I'd expect a racially charged outburst and not such a calm explanation for the way he did the lottery.

I think it's pretty disgusting that RawStory would instrumentalize every decent person's rejection of racism and the shock that a judge would go on a racist tirade to maximize their ad revenue on YouTube.

18. "...the black..." like we kitchen utensils or some shit, come on its 2021

[gratuitous]

4. He sure got hung up on an alternate label for "victim"

He finally landed on "complaining witness," but seemed to overlook the fact that two of the people allegedly shot by young Kyle were indisputably dead, and unable to testify as witnesses at trial.

"How would you like it?"

[whathehell]

8. Yes, indeed

He said the word was " too loaded". I found that VERY strange.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

10. Yep, he sure did get hung up.

5. Kick this one.

9. This makes no sense to me

Isnt it the prosecution’s job to advocate that a crime was committed? Why wouldn’t they be able to characterize them as victims? Can the defense not call their client “innocent” because the case hasn’t been decided yet??

11. It is routine in criminal cases.

The common term in WA is "alleged victim."

15. He don't see his own optics?!
