That's the sensible rationale, but in addition to all the missteps by the prosecution there are other factors that have been ongoing since the jury went into deliberations - the raucous protesters immediately outside the courthouse, and the fact that the jury hasn't been sequestered. There's no...

It doesn't matter because Rittenhouse had no way of knowing his attacker's medical history or current state of mental health. He was under attack and had seconds to decide whether or not to defend himself. All this AFTER trying to get away from his attacker and avoid the confrontation.

Although it could be seen as premature by some, it's about time a public figure came out in support of Rittenhouse under the presumption that he's innocent until proven guilty. Considering the latest revelations of the state's withholding evidence regarding jump kick dude's identity and the...

Which news?

That picture was taken well after the riots and the judge disallowed it as being irrelevant. No connection to the Proud Boys or any other radical group could be proven.

It's very confusing - even the judge commented on how jumbled it is. They have three different age categories for firearm possession and an odd definition of what constitutes a "dangerous weapon"

From the article: "The former FBI director spent two years probing alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia, but did not establish collusion in a crime." What lie are you talking about? Of course Trump wasn't exonerated by Mueller's investigation. It's purpose was to...

It should be obvious from the context of his remarks and the reaction of the audience (laughter) that he was being sarcastic. Most anyone familiar with Trump's sense of humor would come to that conclusion, in spite of the commentary of the CNN talking head. Once again, there's this pesky...

It's hard to get past the headline since it admits the financial transactions described as "dirty" are actually legal. I guess dirty is in the eyes of the liberal beholder Craig Unger (Vanity Fair), who has a long history of hit pieces on conservatives or GOP presidents. And yes, this...

Just to clarify some things: 1. Trump has financial interests in Russia? Please specify instead of making vague allegations. 2. "...His love of dictatorships..."?? Where did you get that? Any factual basis at all? 3. Specifically when did Trump seriously declare that he wanted to make himself...

Complete nonsense. In spite of Trump's nagging NATO members to pay their agreed-upon share of expenses (2.5% of GDP), he actually contributed more money and troops into NATO causes than Obama. It was true that the US has been propping up NATO for decades, and it was long overdue for an American...

Although the credibility of the FBI is certainly being taken to an even lower level, the Durham investigation is also providing additional proof that what we get from the mainstream media should never be taken as anything other than propaganda and opinion. The reporting of straight, factual news...

One would think if any of these three - especially Huber - really thought Rittenhouse was an active shooter, they would have called 911 to alert police and taken cover. Who in their right mind would take a skateboard to a gunfight?

The three guys that were shot initiated the conflict with more than just "being there". In each case they made verbal threats and aggressive physical actions that were easily interpreted by Rittenhouse as posing the possibility of death or grave bodily harm. That justifies self defense in almost...

The idea that under Trump "Putin would have had free reign to march right across eastern Europe with no resistance" is laughable. During Trump's first fourteen months in office, one of the first things he did to counter Russian aggression was to authorize lethal military aid to Ukraine. "While...

The average skateboard weighs 7-10 lbs. Plenty of mass to constitute a deadly weapon when used by an adult.

Seriously?? Do you have any documented evidence to support how and when these "white supremist types" started the Kenosha riots? Any facts at all to back up any of these claims? Granted, we see white rioters who participate in BLM riots, but they are hardly far right radicals. BTW, the stuff...

What made you come to that conclusion?

It's doubtful this judge would be intimidated by the threat of more riots. He probably sees where this case is headed and would rather it go to the jury, which in all likelihood will render a "not guilty" verdict on all the felony charges and maybe even the misdemeanor gun charge. Local and...

The Rittenhouse defense team brought up that possibility in their motion to declare a mistrial. It appeared that the judge also appeared to see through the lame efforts of the prosecution, who in reality has no case.
