I have watched nearly every minute of the Rittenhouse trial. With my understanding of the law, I think that this was a legitimate case of self defense. With that being said, I don’t think that the law today (especially in politically charged cases like this one) is being practiced in anything close to the manner in which it is intended.

If Rittenhouse is convicted of those killings, we can be sure that self defense in particular, and the justice system in general, are no longer operating in this nation. The best thing to do from that point forward is to run if you are ever involved in a use of force incident. The Ritttenhouse defense fund is in the millions of dollars. If that isn’t sufficient to win a case that is this clear cut, there is no hope for those of us who only have concealed carry insurance.

I guess we will see.

Years back, in a family law matter (my wife and I were being sued by her ex-mother-in-law), I was not satisfied with the answers our lawyer was providing. So I went down to the library, got out the actual law books and looked up the statutes myself.

So first thing first, the old belief that laws should be written in plain English such that normal people can read and understand it? Yeah, that is total BS. Everything is overly complicated and not easy to read. I understand it has to be precise, but I’d guess something like 75% of the general population wouldn’t understand it.

The second thing is, after a thorough reading, the ex-MIL had no standing to sue. Black and white. There was only a very narrow window through which a grandparent could bring a suit and it didn’t apply to the situation. Wow.

So I go back to our lawyer and triumphantly announce that the ex-MIL has no standing. To which she replied that every judge in the state ignores that and automatically assumes a grandparent has standing, regardless of the law or the situation. Period. And nothing I could do or say would change that. In fact, if we brought up that fact in court it could bias the judge against us. So best to shut up about it. BOHICA.

The law as written is completely different from the law as practiced. 90% of what goes on in the courtroom is for the benefit of the lawyers anyway. We peons are just fodder for the machine. Kyle is being used to achieve political justice that has nothing to do with written law. All that said, maybe the jury will do the right thing.

Tried to get concealed carry insurance years ago. Apparently they can’t sell it in Washington State because of the dipshit Democrats. They won’t let you “insure” yourself for the commission of a crime or some other such nonsense.

Agree. The justice system is very dysfunctional and only works at random. imo, the main problem is the prosecution process has no skin in the game. It can prosecute innocent people until they are bankrupt and homeless wtih no consequence for them when they lose.

    As they say:
    The Process IS The Punishment.

    That, and:
    Too often, the law is a chainsaw used to do brain surgery. Or a scalpel to harvest a tree. Wielded by a drill sergeant, and presided over by a clown. Or visa- versa. With rules of order and procedures of operation that are often ignored if you are ‘on the right side’.

    I’m reminded of the lyrics from an Alan Price song:
    “All of life, from beginning to end,
    You make your monthly installments.
    Next to health is wealth
    And only wealth will buy you justice.”

    It appears as though not only is this no longer true – but that also, the scales of justice are no longer blind.

It is a bellwether case regarding 2A and self-defense against the Long March CPUSA burn it all down better brownshirts.
These rights come from God and not some CCP/Schwabian globalists owned abomination of traitors and quislings at WAR with their own people in Das Heimat or the homeland.

    It’s too soon to know for sure, but it is looking very bad for anyone that has been vaxxed, as far as having children. This means either one of you, doesn’t have to be both for it to fail to happen.

It’s an either/or situation if Kyle is found guilty (the Chauvin trial proving that cops are guilty of a violent offender’s self-inflicted death) of murder for defending himself.

Either go totally silent, run away, hide, never ever ever ever react or defend yourself or your people.

Or.

Furk them all. Go for broke. Gonna take out one? Take them all out. Go on a full-blown killing spree/vendetta/bloodletting that would make even a commie blush in shame. Kill them all, God will know His own.

One skateboarder or head-kicker or pistol-armed idiot amongst a pack of hell-bound rioters and looters comes to attack you? Kill the attacker, kill the people supporting the attacker, kill the rest of the burn-look-murder group. Kill the ones on the front lines. Kill the ones in the back passing stuff forward. Especially kill the ones holding the cell phones up and who are calling the shots. Kill. Kill. Kill. Why not? What’s the worst they can do to you? Give you 20 death penalties that will take 30-40 years for the courts to work out all the appeals and issues. 30 life-sentences? Gee, past a certain point, what does it matter?

What matters is if they make self-defense illegal, then who cares. Take everyone out. Go down the local lefty enclave and pop the judges, the prosecutors, the city commissioners, the mayors, the teachers, the lawyers, pop everyone. Get the doctor who called for the vaxx. Get the nurse who wouldn’t admit a loved one because they were unvaccinated. Pop everyone who’s supported all the wrong decisions in the last 40 years. Biden bumperstickers, BOOM. Hillary stickers or Obama stickers? BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM. FBI agent? BOOOOM. BATFE agent? BOOOOOM and burn with fire. DEA? BOOOM. TSA? BOOOM.

Past a certain point, what can they do to you? If they’re going to hang you for self defending, then they might as well hang you for everything else.

They don’t understand that the concept of self defense is the last thing holding the (to them) great unwashed idiot inbred flyoverists and red staters from just saying “Copulate this” and expending a lot of their personal horde of freedom seeds and flammable objects.

Screw it. Gonna kill the rule of law? Then you’d best be ready for a lot of righteous killing.

    And here I thought I was the only one who thought like that.

    Oh my God. Best comment, no, STATEMENT, I’ve read in decades. Past mid 70s so even less to lose beyond Beans’ assessment. That IS the way it is, or at least as it should be.

    Damn, I’ve just got to read that a few more times. Maybe print it and put it on the mirror.
