The Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha

@jon-nyc said in The Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha:
It’s far more plausible that jurors are worried about it than that this serial fabulist and attention seeker has the “inside scoop”.
Sometimes black people get targeted for their race. Doesn’t change the fact that Jessie Smollett was talking shit for clicks and status.
As a centrist I have the special ability to zoom out a tenth of a nanometer to realize this OANN pilgrim is likely doing the same thing.
Horace 1.0 would have seen it too.
I didn't claim he was speaking the truth. Pre-TDS jon 1.0 had better reading comprehension than that. My point was the plausibility and the conclusions that would be drawn by a reasonable person about retribution being on the mind of the jurors. jon 1.0 might have been willing to engage in that discussion, rather than running from something that makes his tribe look bad.

I remember last time he had some great inside scoop and it turned out to be bullshit it came out in the discussion here that he does this stuff a lot. He works/worked at OANN, so that's a feature not a bug in terms of his career.
But I don't remember all the details, I'm sure google does.

Yeah I’m really invested in making sure BLM activists don’t come off as intimidating jurors.
That should be obvious to everyone who watched me reflexively defend them from Furguson to Portland.
I bet you've even catalogued in your head that one time you said something negative about the Biden administration.

By the way, I have a 12 year old so I am fully aware of the lure of "I know you are but what am I". But not only am I willing to engage in discussions of the possibility, I said as much in the post you are responding to.

Yes, it's plausible, and a reasonable person would reach the conclusion that retribution is on the minds of the jurors. Which is entirely the fault of the culture of the left.

@George-K I think I’ve only seen that guy’s name here and it was a discussion about him making shit up out of whole cloth.
I apologize in advance if I have the name wrong.
In this case, it's very believable. This jury has not been sequestered. They are local people who watched their town burn to the tune of $11,000,000, during the Kenosha riots. There are National Guard troops guarding the courthouse. There are "activists" panting to doxx them and their families.
The current POTUS called Rittenhouse a murderer.
What do you think?

$11,000,000, during the Kenosha riots.
I heard $50,000,000.

Not aware of that, but I did hear him call Rittenhouse a member of the white supremacists. Yesterday, Psaki punted on that question.

You are correct. Biden called him a white supremacist. I thought he had said Rittenhouse murdered two people, but I can't find it.

It was CBS who tweeted the Rittenhouse being a murderer. Biden claimed Rittenhouse was a member of a militia from Illinois.

Don't know how much of it he has. The figure I gave was just for the first 15 days of the month. As I understand it, that includes no expenses prior.

I'll say it again, America needs better laws coverage reporting of criminal cases.
This is like reality TV.

Featured in a recent newsletter by Andrew Torba, the CEO and co-founder of parent company Gab AI, the video, down to its title, perfectly expresses Gab’s editorial line: a mix of faux expertise (Paul is a former eye surgeon), populist outrage, and selective analytical insight that invariably lands in a place where the elites are lying to you, America has lost its way, and white Christian values are under attack. The video also signifies Torba’s own rising profile as a right-wing, Christian (he signs all of his newsletter posts “Jesus is King”),
