BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC VIDEO!

What pisses me off is the junk food media pundits calling this shooter a boy or teen. He's a grown ass man when he decided make that decision to travel from Illinois to Wisconsin to "protect" the streets.

He was not a registered EMS, a security guard, police officer or a member of the National Guard. He was just some punk who wanted to show off his "masculinity" by holding an AR-15 and parading around the city with a bunch of wannabes. 

He shot people. He wasn't arrest on the spot. He ended up going home, eat a meal, call his pastor and his lawyer. He turned himself in Illinois. He got donations to help his bail. Got a shout out from washed up celebrity Ricky Schroeder and became a folk hero on the far-right.

On top of that, he flashes the WP symbol and drinks (mind you underage) with the Proud Boys.

Had he stayed home, he wouldn't be in the mess. 

See Jacob Blake was shot in back and paralyzed when he entered a vehicle. They claimed he had a knife. He didn't attempt to stab the cop who shot him. He did put up a fight before entering the vehicle but he didn't pull a gun or the knife on the cop. He's still alive and thankful. He will sue the cop and the department.

But a cop walks and I believe the prosecution's failure to gather things may help this white terrorist walk.

I get that feeling that the jury will acquit the 18-year old man who shot and killed two and injured one in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The white terrorist actually sobbed while being cross-examined. And the judge went at the prosecutor after the state brought evidence into the trial despite being told that anything done is irrelevant.

It was class act of white privilege and distortions.

In dramatic and risky testimony in his own defense, the shooter, 18, portrayed himself as wanting to help others by providing medical aid and extinguishing fires during the protests last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He said he used his gun only after being attacked and ambushed.

Prosecutors sought to paint the shooter as a vigilante who carried an assault-style weapon into a volatile melee and wanted to use it, asking him about his ammunition and his playing violent video games.

"I did what I had to do to stop the person who was attacking me," The shooter said under questioning by Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.

"By killing them?" Binger asked.

"Two of them passed away but I stopped the threat from attacking me," replied the shooter, whose testimony ended on Wednesday in the trial, which the judge said could be finished by Monday or Tuesday.

"By using deadly force?" Binger asked.

"I used deadly force," the shooter said. "... I didn't know if it was going to kill them. But I used deadly force to stop the threat that was attacking me."

Rittenhouse is charged in the killing of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, during protests on Aug. 25, 2020. The shooter was 17 at the time of the killings, has pleaded not guilty.

The shooter has emerged as a divisive figure, with politics coursing through the case. He is a hero to some conservatives who believe in unfettered gun rights and see the shootings as justified during the Kenosha chaos. Many on the left see the shooter as a symbol of an American gun culture run amok.

By the night of the shootings, Kenosha had experienced two nights of tumultuous protests triggered by the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed from the waist down.

Several businesses were burned down and there was looting. Police used rubber bullets and tear gas to control crowds, which included men wearing military-style gear and carrying rifles who confronted the sometimes-violent demonstrators.

Dressed in a navy blue suit and dark blue tie, the shooter initially was composed on the witness stand until his attorney asked him to detail his encounter with Rosenbaum, who he shot four times. Video evidence showed Rosenbaum pursuing and throwing a plastic bag at the shooter before the fatal encounter. The shooter said Rosenbaum grabbed his gun.

The judge was caught reading a magazine during the trial.

"I didn't notice Mr. Rosenbaum until he came out from behind the car and ambushed me," the shooter testified, before he started to breathe heavily and lose his composure, shedding tears and sobbing, prompting the judge to call for a break.

Some jurors watched with a look of sympathy as he cried. The shooter's mother sobbed in the courtroom watching her son.

Earlier in the night, the shooter said Rosenbaum had threatened twice to kill him, first by saying that he would kill the teen if he caught him alone and then telling a group he was with "I'm going to cut your fucking hearts out." The slain man's fiance testified that Rosenbaum had bipolar disorder.

The shooter faces a misdemeanor charge of underage possession of his weapon along with five felony counts.

The defense made a motion for a mistrial after Binger asked the shooter about his decision to remain silent until now, as is his right, and about a video recorded two weeks before the shootings in which the teen talked about shooting men he thought were shoplifting at a pharmacy.

Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder had already ruled the video inadmissible. He erupted at Binger after the jury left the courtroom and said he would consider the mistrial motion.

The judge was caught on camera reading a catalog for cookies and having a ringtone with Lee Greenwood's God Bless America, a far-right theme song among Republicans and Washed Up 45.

"When you say you were acting in good faith, I don't believe you," the judge said to Binger.

The prosecution pressed the shooter about why he took it upon himself to carry a gun and offer assistance normally provided by local authorities in a hazardous situation.

The teen, who had taken some first aid courses, brought a medical kit and testified to helping people with minor injuries. He said he was there to help guard a used car dealership.

"I brought the gun for my protection," the shooter testified. "I didn't want to have to kill anybody that night."

The shooter said when he shot Rosenbaum he had his earlier threats in his mind and was also rattled by a gunshot fired nearby by another man, Joshua Ziminski. Rosenbaum had also wrapped his red shirt around his head, obstructing his face.

Binger repeatedly asked the shooter about whether he understood the power of his rifle and that Rosenbaum and the others could have similarly viewed him as a threat. While acknowledging Rosenbaum was unarmed, he responded that he had no choice.

"I pointed at him because he kept running at me and I didn't want him to chase me," Rittenhouse said. "I continued to shoot until he was no longer a threat to me."

The shooter said he shot Huber, who had swung a skateboard at him, because he pulled at his rifle, and fired at Grosskreutz, who was armed with a handgun, because he had pointed the pistol "directly" at the teen's head.

The shooter is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The shooter faces up to LIFE in the iron college if convicted.

The way I see it going, the prosecution may have blundered this big time. If he walks, then I would not want to be him when he's free. He's going to be like that asshole who shot Trayvon Martin.
