focus on the actual problem here. It was a shit prosecutor who seemed to be sabotaging this entire trial from beginning to end.

Don't think the jury wasn't influenced by the judge's infatuation with Kyle.

Or the playing of his Trumpian ringtone.

Or his screaming at the prosecutors.

Or letting Kyle pick his own jurors out of a hat.

We need to bring this rotten judge down.

he was under instruction to do it that way.
I'd like to see all the internal communications and private conversations leading up to the trial strategy.
I smell a rat, the republican variety.

They have got the reasoning skills or the emotional control for that. They'll see if for face value. Kill the libs.

....Yes, there are a lots of ...non political people who do not care about this..

But, I think that this is major national news...I think that this will hurt Kenosha's Tourism Industry...

....Next summer we will find out...Remember this is November...Maybe not...wouldn't be the first time I am wrong.

Effect on those taking a principled stand for their beliefs, even if it's only which town to hit for fast food, shouldn't be discounted. Far better for citizens to express disapproval in a measured, civilized way than to not bother.

Everyone in southern Wisconsin at least, knew it. We used to call it "Little Chicago" or Chicago north". It's a rank pit.

The next time protests stir up, we will see many more heavily armed individuals trying to provoke. This verdict makes law enforcement's job more dangerous.
