You know, I fully expected "the judge/jury/system is racist!" and any number of other copes after the acquittal, but "the whole thing was an elaborate deep state conspiracy!" is truly something so insane and out of left field that I'm shocked to see it floated, let alone countersigned. On the bright side, that's more names for the "no longer allowed to mock conspiracy theorists" list, as that's some Q level crazy right there.

That isn't really what they are saying. I believe they are suggesting it was known by "TPTB" that the case was a dud, but conducted anyway, for the purpose of increasing support for Rittenhouse and giving him an opportunity to look like a hero.


I think the whole AG's office knew the case was a dud, anyone with eyes and a passing knowledge of self defense and gun law knew the case was a dud the day after it happened and the video dropped, they tried him anyway because Blue America was howling for blood, and there was a real fear that more riots might happen if they didn't. That's a big part of why I'm so hot here, this kid got dragged through our legal system to placate a mob, and he's lucky it only cost him 15 months of hell and a ton of donated money.

Have you also noticed that a large number of those people who were the most "knowledgable" about what "Q" people believed tend to be in this category?

It is certainly interesting to observe the number of people who accuse "Q" (or Trump) of certain negative actions\beliefs\character traits and then go and do the same things themselves, seeing nothing wrong with their doing so...

He should never have been charged based on the evidence, I said as much from the beginning, and even the state's charging documents read more like a clearing statement. The entire prosecution was political from the start, so if you don't like the ending, you have only your fellow liberals to blame.


I'll give credit to Mark Richards, he's a very good defense lawyer. Dotted his Is and crossed his ts. He also coached Rittenhouse well.


But he has that sinister smile that you hate so much. 8O


I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall as he was coaching Rittenhouse to do the "cry face". Should have checked his jacket for lemon rinds.

So, you have never been in a position where you might spend the rest of your life in gaol when you are only 17. :scratch:

I think you are being disingenuous. :mrgreen:

You mean those folks who can't spell GOP without a Q, or America without a bunch of superfluous U's and/or K's? As a matter of fact I had noticed that the people who nutpick the most frequently here are not very impressive generally and tend to display a lot of the same traits they claim to deplore in others, I suspect it's a narcissism of small differences thing. I really didn't see this Rittenhouse conspiracy coming though, that's a new one.

When it comes to adversaries sparing, the law and facts do not, unfortunately, always win. I’ve seen some good smoke and mirrors by sharp experts in my time and have *ahem* succeeded a few times myself (albeit not in a court of law, but it’s the same haggle). It’s great fun, but I have an obvious ethical problem if prosecutors do it with people’s lives, instead of, say, tax dollars or insurance negotiations.

But a very important part of any smoke and mirrors game is assessing the chances of success, because starting on the path and failing will usually get a worse result than not playing at all.

So I don’t know if the prosecutors lacked the acumen to understand their case, felt the show was necessary win or lose, lacked ethics plus lacked the acumen to pull off a win with bad facts, or lacked ethics plus the acumen to know their own limits as magicians. In any of these scenarios, I feel like my description works.

Hey Bill Burr is on your side, he despises woketivists like me (but his take on Rittenhouse's fake crying is golden)

It's a shame that Rittenhouse isn't old enough to be Trump's next running mate.

Anyone else getting creeped out by this level of obsession with a teen's tears by a grown man? Kinda gross.

Meanwhile…..three men in Georgia (in the South) were convicted of murder within a vigilante action—by a jury of 11 white people and one black person. This would probably not have happened even 10 years ago.

I feel like the tears were genuine.

Darrell Brooks cried real tears at his arraignment, too.

A Sign O' The Times These Days of Dust,

So Is it A Great Surprise That The Same News Organization That Still

Promotes 'The Big Lie' That The Election Was Some How Stolen From Trump
And The Insurrection By Words of 'Tucker Carlson Documentary' Was A 'False Flag';

Yes, is it A Big Surprise That Same News Organization Has Made A Most Foolish of

Young Men Barely Into the Age to Vote A Hero For That Same Republican Base;

Yes, Is it A Big Surprise That To Visit That Former Most Despicable Leader This

Country Has Ever Seen Is Viewed As A Great Honor By That News Organization

And Those In the Republican Party Who Still Support That Most

Despicable Leader; No It is NO SURPRISE AT ALL THIS

Maybe the tears were real, maybe not.A good defense attorney will coach you on how to walk, what to wear , what to say or not, and what emotions to show or not.

Of course defense attorneys do that.

I never said Rittenhouse was a choirboy. I believe the tears were for real, though. He went to Kenosha looking for trouble…and he certainly found it. He’s lucky he doesn’t have a conviction for a lesser charge on his record as a result of what he did.

I’m worried that Trump will use him as a symbol for what he believes in. That white supremacists will rally around his symbolism.
