Well as for Rosenbaum it seemed he was suicidal because he got out of prison recently, and was yelling at other people to kill him, according to witnesses there. The prosecution wanted to protray Rosenbaum as a hero, since they kept saying he was a hero in the closing argument. So could it be, that they didn't call his gf because they didn't want the gf to confirm that he was suicidal and therefore out to try to attack someone to provoke them into killing him? In other words his gf would make him look less heroic if they put her on the stand?


This is news to me, but it fits in with my initial assessment of Rosenbaum's state of mind. 8)


It has been a niggling thought at the back of my mind around that subject:
* His attempts to provoke a reaction from those present with visible firearms.
* His use of the "n" word towards those present to "protect" the property could have the potential to inflame those from "his" side against him.
* His final actions in waiting for an isolated person with a visible fireamr to pass him before charging at this person.
* The reason for his recent hospitalisation (for which he had left the hospital that morning)

All have the ability to be seen to align with what Ironpony is suggesting.

What I had been wondering about is whether his pursuit of Mr Rittenhouse wasn't with intent to cause injury to him, but rather so he could have access to a firearm to further this suicidal behaviour, either through a reaction to his actions with the rifle by another person present (likely one of those "protecting" the properties), or to assist an attempt at "suicide by cop" - And had those with rifles not been present, whether he wouldn't have been acting in a similar (potentially more aggressive) manner towards the police instead.

He was certainly a troubled person (with a colourful, and troubled past), and so this isn't an entirely implausible possibility, but there is also nothing to show that this thought\intention was in his mind, either, so this is purely speculation\a hypothetical exercise, not in any way an assertion that this was his goal that evening.


As I have stated before, had Rosenbaum not been there, the unfolding tragedy may not have happened.

Could this have been another "Black Operation" using someone who was driven to the edge?
Perhaps.

Interesting *speculation*. 8)

Here's another litany of things I collected on him.

Schroeder, 75, has audibly admonished prosecutors throughout the trial, he told Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, "Don't get brazen with me!" after Binger mentioned Rittenhouse’s right to remain silent in front of the jury. Sounds dodgy as hell.


There is a constitutional right (5th ammendment) for a defendant to remain silent. It is also established case law that no commentary\inference on a defendant's decision to do so is to be made by the prosecution (or anyone else in the trial, although the prosecution would be the most likely to do so) - see https://healinglaw.com/blog/defendants-silence-may-not-be-used-against-him-by-prosecutor-case-law-and-jurisprudence/.

The attempt to violate the defendant's constitutional rights was the "dodgy as hell" part. In fact, had you done more than look at "favourable" (to what you desire) headlines (such as watching the video of the interaction) you would have been perfectly well aware of this. (I'm fairly sure it has been explained on this site as well).

So, because a person you do not know likes something that another person you appear to despise (among many, it seems), that person must automatically be aligned with the person you despise? Following that "logic", it must be difficult to survive, given I believe Mr Trump was also breating air at those same rallies - he possibly even drank water - should anyone else who breathes air, or drinks water also be considered a fan of (or aligned with) Mr Trump?

Treating people as "guilty by association", as you are attempting here, is the sort of action which tends to lower the credibility of the person doing so, as well as showing a lack of integrity on their part...

I'd suggest you watch the testimony regarding this... Software can (and does) add detail when performing this action, in order to provide a smoothed (not "blocky" image) - Maybe have a read of https://input-ace.com/can-pinch-to-zoom-alter-video-evidence/

One of our training classes contains an example of this exact scenario. In that example, the original image of a suspect contained only a few pixels around his hand area:

Nearest Neighbor Interpolation - pinch to zoom

One of the experts resized the image using bicubic interpolation (image on the left, below) which added dozens of extra pixels and rounded out the shape of the hand area – giving it the appearance of a gun in the individual’s hand. That “fabrication” of shape is something done entirely by the interpolation algorithm:

Pinch to Zoom Bicubic Interpolation vs Nearest Neighbor

Originally, the DVR only recorded a jagged block of a few pixels. From a forensic perspective, we should not be able to say anything about that area. The individual could have a gun, or he might not. From the few pixels we have, there is simply no way to know.

To me the judge seems to bend over backward to accommodate Kyle throughout the court case, His obvious passive-aggressive stance toward the prosecution and lack of empathy toward the shooting victims contrasts sharply with his polite tone toward the defendant even extending to allowing Kyle to draw the jury and calling for recess when he started crying.

His Trump ringtone and overall positive disposition toward the defendant seems to follow a pattern

Freudian slip? he certainly doesn't care if he offends black people and enthusiastically got rid off women and PoC from the jury.

It's not so much "patience" as impatience with lies, mistruths, misinformation and the like (and those intentionally\repeatedly spreading such) - The reason I provide quotes\links regarding what I say is so that if I am mistaken, people can see what my comments were based upon, and so provide appropriate links\sources to assist me in understanding what I got wrong.

As occurred in another thread, I also try to correct myself if I make a mistake (I don't want to be the cause of someone else receiving incorrect information)...

The judge's role may not be what you think it is...

You might want to have a look at the first portion (up to around 11:00) of the following (I'm fairly certain you'd take offence to Mr Broady's commentary about the trial for Mr Smollett) around the desire for all cases to be televised, and the court's (another term for the judge) role - particularly the portion from around 3:50 - 7:00.

I think I would make a bad lawyer/Judge. I seem to get too emotional over these cases. I retract the last statement about the jury.

Not a Trump fan. Not a country music fan. But I really like Bruce Greenwood’s song, “God Bless America.” It has all the right feels.

Not everything has to be political.

I don't see why some people online feel the judge had a bias, when the judge scolded the prosecutor for disobeying his ruling, and trying to go over his head on something he had already ruled on. That's not the judge being biased, it's the just not liking his rulings being went against.

Plus the prosection trying to say that Rittenhouse must be guilty just because he didn't talk, is very weak and incompetent to try to prove him guilty, so the judge probably just doesn't prosecutors being incompentent in court that they would grasp at straws like that.
